Hands up who was at the MCG to see Australia sink India in the women’s T20 World Cup? All-rounder Ellyse Perry, our cover star this week, was sidelined but as the poster person for women’s cricket, the crowd still buzzed when she was interviewed after the match. I was there, too, watching a father, decked in green and gold, waving a boxing kangaroo flag and leading his young daughters in a patriotic chant. He was showing his kids a good time but the deeper message wasn’t lost in the “oi oi oi”.

These athletes command equal passion and support, which Melburnians give in droves. ●

COVER STORY

A

ussie sporting star Ellyse Perry has changed the face of women’s cricket, yet the threetime Belinda Clarke Award winner for being the most outstanding female cricketer in Australia isn’t that comfortable with praise.

“It’s very flattering and lovely to receive these honorary awards, but I don’t really like feeling nervous when it comes to getting up there to make a speech,” says Perry, who could not play in Australia’s winning T20 World Cup side on March 8 – in front of an attendance record of more than 86,000 fans at the MCG – due to a hamstring injury.

The all-rounder hobbled off the ground after she tore her hamstring off the bone against New Zealand in the group stages of the tournament and was missed in the final, but maintaining her part in the team’s camaraderie remained the utmost importance for Perry.

“Being fortunate enough to play with these girls is something I love doing. It’s totally a team sport and that means being there for the highs and lows.

We’ve been training pretty hard and had another series against India and England before the T20 series, so that was really good preparation for us. It’s been crucial in getting the team ready to this point.”

Almost daily gym sessions and a three-hour cricket match were just some of the ways the Australian team got ready for the clash.

The 29-year-old, who was named the 2019 ICC Cricketer of the Year, made her debut for Australia’s cricket and women’s soccer sides at 16; the adidas ambassador is also the youngest ever female to represent Australia in world cups for both sports.

Her rapid rise has seen her shine a light on women’s cricket, encouraging young women to pick up a bat and develop a love for the game.

“I don’t know about being the face of the sport,” she says, downplaying her impact.

“But it’s about taking the opportunity I’ve been given to develop the sport and promote it to as many people as we can. Hopefully through what I do is I can influence a lot of young girls that they can aim for a dream too. It’s a responsibility we have a group of players.”

Away from World Cup pressures, Perry – who moved to Melbourne last year with her husband, Melbourne Rebels rugby union player Matt Toomua – loves to unwind on a bike ride, with a preference to hang in her neighbourhood of Windsor, where she frequents cafes.

“Melbourne is an amazing city and I feel like I am still getting to know it,” Perry says.

“I like riding my pushbike when I have to go to training, a cafe to meet a friend or meetings. I’ve loved exploring the city that way and the culture factor is awesome to experience.”

She’s also a fan of the north side – you’ll always find her at the Grace Darling Hotel watching bands.

“I see live music at least once a week,” she says.

“I’ll always choose something downbeat and low-key – that’s more in keeping with my vibe.

I love exploring Fitzroy and Collingwood too. I also love an opportunity to get to Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula.”

Perry is intensely private; she likes to keep her cards close and isn’t known to be a conversationalist when it comes to media interviews. It may be that she’s shy or not comfortable opening up to a stranger.

If one thing is certain, Perry likes to answer in plural; describing a team spirit over a personal ambition. She will require surgery, and watched from the sidelines as the team triumphed in the World Cup final, there to support the teammates that a few days earlier beat South Africa in Australia’s first ever T20 semi-final to be played without her.

It’s perhaps this selfless nature that’s made her a favourite in the sport. She’s also been key in raising awareness about pay equity.

“Women’s cricket has evolved so much in the period I have been playing,” Perry says.

“It’s an exciting time for the sport due to a number of changes around equal pay and opportunities for women that wasn’t there before. For female athletes to be able to play at an elite level and also at a professional level is a sign that there was a tremendous level of neglect in this sport and change needed to happen.”

Last February, Cricket Australia announced it would increase the prize money pool for the 2020 World Cup by 320 per cent on the 2018 tournament; the Australian women’s team having the potential to earn as much as their male counterparts at their respective T20 World Cups. “Women need to be

“I started listening to a lot of music with the harmonica in it and thought why not, let’s give it a go,� she says. “I also listen to a lot of music on the way to the ground when I’m training. It helps me switch off a bit too.�

Last year Perry released her book Perspective, which followed her 2016 children’s title, Pocket Rocket, but Perry says there won’t be a sequel. “I was initially hesitant to do a book. It took about three meetings with my publisher for me to feel convinced it’s something I wanted to do,� she says. “I said I didn’t want to write a life story and that I was open to other concepts.�

Perspective is all about sharing her dreams, sporting resilience and career highs in an inspirational guide. “It’s about giving other girls the confidence to go out there and try the sport, or whatever their dream is,� Perry says. “There’s not enough female success stories out there and if I can inspire the next generation, then that’s a good thing.� �

acknowledged as players – it’s a period of evolution and I am glad to be part of the process,� Perry says.

Perry grew up in Pymble on Sydney’s northern beaches. Her father Mark is a high school maths teacher who left the profession to work with his wife Kathy, a local GP who owns a practice in the Sydney suburb of Carlingford.

She has a brother Damien, whom she would join at the park to play sport, but it’s her father who gave her the thirst for cricket. He used to play squash for Australia as well as top-grade cricket.

he Melbourne Food and Wine Festival feels different this year.

There are more free events. The festival hub, Queen Victoria Market, turns 142 years old later this month. But some things never change – the World’s Longest Lunch at Treasury Gardens sold out in 19 minutes. Festival creative director Pat Nourse says that having “Melbourne masters” Stephanie Alexander, Jacques Reymond and Philippe Mouchel on board for 2020 made “a fast horse run faster”. You’ve missed the opportunity to buy tickets for dinners featuring big stars, like food writer and author of Nothing Fancy cookbook Alison Roman, but you can still catch them at the free ShedX talks and demonstrations on festival weekends.

“Every single international is yours for the adoring at the Queen Vic Market for free,” Nourse says. The talks are set around how-tos, whether it’s Roman talking about how to have people over, James Beard award-winning chef Michael Solomonov from Zahav making fiveminute hummus, or Sydney’s Josh Niland sharing how to use more than the fillets from a fish. But international talent is not the main focus. “The focus of the festival is Melbourne, and having a fun time,” Nourse says. This list should get you started, but with more than 150 events on offer from March 19 to 29, we encourage you to peruse the program. ●

FOOD & DRINK Food parties at the Vic Market Sichuan Snack Fair, free entry March 22, 11am-5pm

English food writer and cookbook author Fuchsia Dunlop and 10 Melbourne restaurants are putting on a Sichuan Food Fair that will be the hottest thing at Queen Vic this festival season. Stands from the likes of Dainty Sichuan, Spice Temple, Lee Ho Fook, Supernormal and Belle’s Hot Chicken will serve traditional Sichuan favourites as well as new creations. Keep an eye out for the “heating and cooling station” to adjust spice levels.

This year’s Melbourne Food & Wine Festival is set to be the best yet.

“If they want to pop in and help out, I will give them as many chips as they want.”

English garden so coveted by many Melburnians has less relevance today, and should make way for a bolder outlook: increased use of native and local plants and vegetation.

His work is highlighted at this year’s Flower and Garden Show, where he has produced an honorary 25th anniversary garden that’s presented by Yarra Valley Water. For the garden, entitled “It’s Our Time,” Withers has used 3000 plants from the three bio regions which make up Victoria’s Great Ocean Road area to highlight the need for water conservation, encourage biodiversity and show that native plants have their own beauty.

“It’s been drummed into people that native plants get woody and start looking average in a garden,” he says. “But now people are saying, ‘I want to be water wise. I want to get birds into my garden.’ There’s definitely a shift ... There’s an amazing array of native vegetation that you can put in your garden, establish for a year or so and then turn the tap off.”

Withers points out that “the idealism of European gardens” doesn’t make sense in our hot weather.

“A lot of those plants are specific to a climate with a lot more rain through different seasons,” he says.

“In small doses it makes sense. I think there’s room for different plants and trialling things in the

garden, but it all needs to come back to a little bit of locality and the understanding that what we’ve got here really works well.”

And with this message, business is booming. He never imagined he’d find himself in this field back in his days as a fashion design student, until he took a job in garden maintenance with a friend.

“We were up in Mount Dandenong which was lush with tree ferns, and I just loved the feel of it – being around nature. I thought, I’ve got a calling here.”

But he knew that if he entered the field, he’d have to combine his visual and design skills. Hence, the idea of landscape design was born.

Now, he lives in Collingwood with his wife Molly and their whippet Rue (named after the companion plant). “When we [work with a client] who’s never gone into their garden and all of a sudden we’ve recreated this space that adds to their lives and they end up going out there all the time – that’s beautiful.” ● MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL FLOWER AND GARDEN SHOW \ March 25-29 at the Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens. ● melbflowershow.com.au ● phillipwithers.com.au

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Teaching life lessons through language

LEIGH HENNINGHAM

N

atasha Stewart’s decision to teach may be partly due to her inspirational year 7 English teacher, Mr Ritchie. Stewart went to a Catholic high school in the western suburbs and still clearly remembers how he engaged his students.

“He had a beautiful way of teaching content and building relationships. Strong relationships with students are important so they can feel free to ask questions and to talk about any issues concerning them,” says Stewart.

“One day a student asked Mr Ritchie why he’d become a teacher and he simply answered, ‘Why wouldn’t I? I spend the day having fun with young people, learning from them and talking about things I enjoy.’ That resonated with me. Why wouldn’t you want to be a teacher?”

During the latter years of high school, Stewart also volunteered to teach English to newly arrived refugee children, which further planted the seed for a teaching career. But initially she wasn’t sure whether to teach English or history so she majored in both subjects at La Trobe University before doing honours in history and a DipEd. Travel is also a passion and Stewart spent threeand-a-half-years in South America, Canada, Eastern Europe, the UK and France where she mixed teaching with stints as a nanny and chateau property manager. “I taught English in a school outside London that had a very traditional approach so I learnt a lot about the traditional texts.

Shakespeare was taught every year and I did Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol with year 8s.

That was a valuable experience,” she says.

When she returned to Melbourne, Stewart joined CRC Keilor where she became head of English and began a masters degree in education. She has also taught English at Lowther Hall where she discovered her interest in educating girls.

This focus brought her to St Aloysius College this year as the school’s new head of English.

“In this day and age, empowering girls has never been more important. It is essential to instil pride, strength, courage and knowledge in young women and to encourage them to take up roles that may have traditionally been held by men so they can give the female perspective,” says Stewart.

“I was also attracted to this school because

N ATA S H A S T E WA R T

“When students leave my classroom, I hope they’ve considered or questioned something they previously had not.” students come from diverse backgrounds and the education the girls receive here provides opportunities to all.”

Stewart is keen to instil a love of language and literature in her students – as Mr Ritchie did for her. “Being able to read and to decipher meaning within language in this society of fake news is vital for young people.

“Reading and understanding what has happened in the past can enable people to learn about themselves and to make positive choices for the future. Literature introduces students to moral and ethical dilemmas in society,” she says.

Stewart works with other English teachers at St Aloysius College to discuss what is working well in

the classroom and to share ideas to improve the student experience. “We are currently looking at changing how we teach a text. In future we plan to introduce a text by talking about why it has been selected. Take Macbeth as an example – what is Shakespeare trying to tell us? Is he telling us that unchecked power can lead to tragedy? Or that ambition can lead to negative outcomes? We will look at the plot and characters but teach the text by looking at the big concepts.

“When students leave my classroom, I hope they’ve considered or questioned something they previously had not. Learning must go beyond the classroom.” ● SARAH MARINOS

On the corner of two residential streets in the quiet end of the Edinburgh Gardens precinct lies this family oasis. Out the back at least, it’s an oasis in the true sense of the word: there’s a large swimming pool out here, heated by solar and gas. The pool is accompanied by palms and a wisteriadraped barbecue terrace.

It’s hard to believe we’re in Fitzroy North.

But we are. On the corner of St Georges Road South and Freeman Street, to be precise. The most notable local feature is undoubtedly Edinburgh Gardens, a true inner north institution. No other Melbourne park can come close to approaching the scene, particularly on a sunny day, when it can often feel as if the whole town has decided to rush out for a picnic right here.

Of course, there are other highlights nearby. Rathdowne Village, Brunswick and Smith streets and the restaurants and shops of St Georges Road are all either a stone’s throw or a hop, skip and a jump away.

As for the house itself: upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and opening onto a large retreat.

An adjoining upstairs bathroom caters to the residents up here, who get to glimpse the Melbourne city skyline as they trundle into bed.

The other three bedrooms are all downstairs, and two of them have charming fireplaces. The sitting room down here could also function as a bedroom if required.

The main bedroom looks over the front verandah, and has two separate access points for both a walk-in wardrobe and
