The shimmer of television still won’t hide the blood, sawdust and tears to be shed on Nine’s The Block. The risk and reward for the couples who tackle this year’s renovation hangs in the balance, as fickle as the tides in the bay at the location of the series, again set in St Kilda. Don’t forget that when teams finally send their properties – at The Oslo, on Grey Street, along which, the poets might say, the demi-monde wander – under the auctioneers’ hammers, the market conditions are genuine. Meet Shelley Craft and Scotty Cam, the long-standing hosts of the show, who will be a steadying influence. ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am Rob Osborne” … and I’m a driving instructor Before this I was training for the police. But about

two weeks before I was due to start at the academy, I slipped two discs in my lower back. I was too honest, and there was no way I would have been able to do the fitness test. The injury was something so innocuous; I thought I’d save a bit of money by doing some gardening. The next morning I flicked the kettle, got off the couch to get my coffee and my back just pinged. I was out of work for a year. It didn’t just hit me physically, it was mental as well because I’d always been quite active. My best friend suggested I become a driving instructor. His whole family were instructors, and he said: “Maybe that’s something you might look at because you’re pretty good at talking, you’ve got a good memory and you’re quite patient.” So I literally just fell into it. I did my course at Box Hill TAFE for about five months – learning the road law book back to front, how to teach safe driving techniques and operate dual control cars. The first few times I took a student for a lesson, it was nerve-racking. They’re quite nervous as well – they’ve never met you, never driven, so I talk about a whole host of things – TV shows, what they’ve eaten, just to try to take their mind off the task. People would think most students would be 16 or 18, but the majority are uni students or middleaged. The younger generation, they’re reluctant to get their licence because of Uber and Ola. I’ve had a few students who are hearing impaired or visually impaired. For hearing impaired drivers, I’ve either got flash cards or I’ll use more hand gestures. There’s a lot more pedal usage as well because they can’t hear the engine. I recently picked a bloke up from a retirement home who was born in 1927. He’d had a stroke a few years ago, and his son got in touch with me. His left arm was shaking with Parkinson’s and from the stroke, so I wanted to get him back out on the road. I tell you what; it was a struggle to keep him under the speed limit. The old bloke just kept going and going. I said: “It’s only 60 here, you’re doing 70 – come on, you’re going to get me a ticket!” At this stage I love being a driving instructor. It doesn’t really feel like work to me. I don’t think it’s for everyone, but I love it. ●

COVER STORY

BLOCK BUSTER

I Shelley Craft and Scotty Cam: from kids’ show host and carpenter to two of the best-known personalities on television.

DOM A IN REV IEW

t will be 20 years this October since Scotty Cam was in a pub having a drink with his mates when his life changed forever. Cam, 56, was an established builder and carpenter and had no ambitions whatsoever to get into television, but a chance encounter was about to alter the course of his future. “A bloke saw me in the pub and asked me if I wanted to do a screen test,” Cam says. “I initially said no, but then he came and tracked me down to the building site where I was working and convinced me to do it, and a month later I got the job on Backyard Blitz.”

Shelley Craft and Scotty Cam have the experience and teamwork to steer Nine’s signature property renovation show through it’s greatest challenge yet.

Cam wouldn’t have imagined he would still be on screen two decades later, but he has gone on to become one of the most recognised faces on Australian TV. “When I first started I thought if I get three or four years out of the industry I would have been happy,” he says. “So all of the sudden, 20 years down the track I’m still going – I’m pretty proud of that.” For his co-host on The Block Shelley Craft, her launch in the industry came 22 years ago on the kids’ cartoon show Saturday Disney. For Craft, 43, it provided a great experience learning every facet of the industry’s inner workings.

stressful – logistical exercise. “I always bang on about every year being the biggest Block ever, but this is actually the biggest Block ever,” Cam says. “To be honest, I think we may have gone a little bit too big for this one. It broke the contestants a bit, it’s broken me, and it’s broken everybody. We will see how it goes, because it does go a little bit pear-shaped throughout the series.” Cam lives in Sydney with his family, and Craft is based in Byron Bay, but they both enjoy coming to Melbourne each year to film The Block. During filming, Cam stays at his house in Port Melbourne, a

“It broke the contestants a bit, it’s broken me, and it’s broken everybody ... it does go a little bit pear-shaped throughout the series.” SCOTTY CAM

“We wrote, edited and produced all our own stories,” she says. “We booked our own crews, we did everything. Working on the show was also a great insight into what works on television, as kids are a tough audience.” Cam and Craft have been filming on the most arduous – and largest – series of The Block yet, at the old Oslo Hotel on Grey Street, St Kilda. Cam and Craft have a fantastic working relationship, and they needed it as this 15th series of The Block, confronting the five competing teams, is more challenging than ever. The Oslo, a rundown backpackers, will be transformed into five huge, multi-level luxury houses, which is set to be a massive – and very

suburb he has grown to love, so he lives in Melbourne during the week but travels back and forth to be home with his family in Sydney, where he is renovating his house. “I love Melbourne and I love Sydney as well, so it’s great to have a bit of both,” Cam says. “I’ve got friends in Port Melbourne now and we hang out at the bar of the Port Melbourne Bowling Club and my wife often comes down, so we really enjoy ourselves in Melbourne.” Craft loves the variety of spending time both in Byron Bay and Melbourne. ‘We’ve been in Byron for 10 years now,” she says. “We walk a lot slower than anyone else in the city.

Wo r d s

LU K E D E N N E H Y ●

“It’s a perfect balance for me and this job is an amazing luxury, because I obviously get to come and go from Byron to Melbourne. “Melbourne is like a second home, so I’m excited to come back every time a new series of The Block starts.” Both Craft and Cam say this year’s contestants have had it really tough and, as always, there is drama. “They are a really good bunch this year but there is also a lot of angst, I think because The Block is so big this year,” Cam says. “There are also a few blues along the way but that comes, I think, with working in close quarters and living on top of each other seven days a week, for three and a half months. “It becomes untenable sometimes. We’ve got some great characters and some great workers, but we also have some stubborn people and some who are lazy and don’t listen.” Both are also thanking their stars to be part of a show that is a ratings success year after year. The first series of The Block aired in 2003 when Jamie Durie was the host, tackling a reno in the Sydney suburb of Bondi. Cam hosted his first series of the show in 2010, while Craft joined in 2011, when The Block renovated a row of houses in Cameron Street, Richmond. “The show is a monster that just keeps on getting bigger and better,” Craft says. “To think that it has gone on for so long is just plain awesome to be honest. “Not many shows have that longevity like this one, and I feel very privileged and lucky to be part of the furniture.” ●

Peter Hook WHO \ Founding

member of the band Joy Division and later New Order WHAT \ On stage playing a moving, orchestral version of his ground-breaking repertoire WHERE \ Plenary Theatre, Melbourne Convention Centre

Known for …

LOVE IN ALL ITS GLORY \ The classic pop punk 1980s hit song Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division was released in June 1980, a month after the lead singer’s suicide in his home at the age of 23. The song was named NME Song Of The Year at the time. ●

JULIEN LACHAUSSEE

oy Division formed in 1976 and only ever released two fulllength albums in their shortlived career which ended abruptly when front man Ian Curtis took his own life in 1980. Now the legacy of the band lives on with a new orchestral incarnation thanks to original bass player Peter Hook. Joy Division’s hits get a classical makeover to tie in with the 40th anniversary since the release of debut album Unknown Pleasures. The idea to take Joy Division’s back catalogue and add a 60-piece orchestra to flesh out the symphony is not as unusual as it sounds. Hook says the inspiration for the new show stems from witnessing Hacienda Classical in 2016, when Manchester’s legendary Hacienda Club – in all its rave and acid house glory – was recreated with the help of a 70-piece orchestra and choir. “It was easy to see how people responded to the orchestra playing with these well-known dance tracks, many that were one-hit wonders and nobody ever saw them performed before, which added to the magic,” Hook says. “So what we’re doing is the same but different. At 63, Hook is still wild for the road, but he’ll happily swap a headbanging club for a theatre show these days. Joy Division Orchestrated will take place in a sit-down venue in Melbourne, which he’s happy about. “I love the idea of it being in a refined and comfortable atmosphere and the music being played differently,” Hook says. “The music doesn’t have to have that punk aggression and the orchestra brings an air of melancholy to the whole treatment, which makes it moving.” The first time Hook visited Australia was in 1981 with his band

In t e r v i e w b y New Order. “My memories of the Aussie fans has always been a positive one,” he says. “That was the beginning of a great relationship that I have built on over the years. I keep coming back.” This time, instead of performing his own material with his band The Light, he’ll be reminiscing about a time in his youth that still feels odd to him. “Ian’s untimely demise put an end of Joy Division. Then we started New Order and never envisaged that it would be a success. While that was happening, Joy Division crept up by word of mouth alongside it.”

Next wave ...

JA N E R O C CA

Hook says reviving Joy Division’s music is done with utmost respect to his friend Curtis. “Ian’s greatest ambition when we were in Joy Division was for the world to hear our music,” Hook says. “The thing is we were just kids when we made it; we had just come out of our teenage years, we were bewildered, confused and unsure of the world. I made it to my 60s, Ian sadly didn’t.” ●

his recipe is all about decadence and indulgence. I was inspired to create a recipe for a Christmas in July dinner party. Think cold winter nights sitting in front of an open fire, indulging in this warm softcentered boozy prune pudding served with a warm brandy butterscotch. It is best served with a dollop of cream or vanilla bean ice cream. I guarantee it will leave you craving more. This recipe also freezes well so it don’t be shy about making a double batch and saving some for later. If you do not have brandy handy, disaronno (almond liqueur) or whisky works a treat as well. Alternatively, to keep it under 18, simply remove the brandy. Rug up, snuggle up and dig in. ●

Let it stand for 10 minutes, add in the brandy then mash well with a fork. For the pudding batter, place sugar and butter in a bowl. Beat until combined and smooth. Add egg and beat until incorporated. Add flour then sprinkle baking powder across the surface. Mix until flour is incorporated. Add the smashed prunes, mixing quickly until the fruit is well blended into the batter. Pour the batter into the greased muffin tray. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. In the meantime, prepare the brandy butterscotch sauce. Place ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, stir, then bring to a simmer for 2 minutes, stirring once, then remove from heat. Turn pudding moulds upside down on the serving plates.

magine, for a moment, that you’re let loose in an abandoned warehouse building in Melbourne, with 36 maze-like rooms. Each holds a different experience, a puzzle piece of one giant story. One room, a period sitting-room, looks conventional at first – the walls are awash in a glorious buttercup yellow, with gold trimmed decorative mouldings and black wallpaper. It looks like an olde-worlde room that’s been preserved in a time capsule. When you enter, you might witness one character, Virginia, playing the piano and singing to her husband. But if you happen upon the room when there’s no one in it, you’ll hear the sound of crashing waves, seemingly emanating from a painting on the wall that features a Napoleonic ship.

Looking for clues, you might walk around, open the piano stool and ... well, you’ll see for yourself. Welcome to the world of immersive theatre. It’s a theatrical performance that audience members are invited to be a part of, rather than simply watch, by touching, experiencing, smelling. And it’s here with A Midnight Visit, after successful runs in Perth and Sydney. Inspired by the works of famous poet Edgar Allan Poe – English literature students will be quick to recite chunks of The Raven – A Midnight Visit is set in a dark, supernatural, Gothic realm. In this build-your-own-journey experience, participants decide which room to enter and how long they stay there (within reason!). It’s why it’s impossible to see the whole play in one hit; co-creators Danielle Harvey and Kirsten Siddle, directors of production company Broad Encounters, say that some people have seen it six or seven times. The only given is that you’re in Poe’s world: sometimes dream-like, sometimes scary, sometimes funny, sometimes creepy. And while it’s not a horror house – there are no

jump scares, for instance – it’s still not for the fainthearted, and one has to be 15 or older to purchase a ticket. “We say we invite audiences to come with a curious mind and brave soul, and triggering that bravery and curiosity is what we enjoy,” says the show’s creative producer Siddle. They picked Poe, says show director Harvey, because “he had such a huge influence on horror, mystery and fantasy genres. He was very prolific.”

“After him came people like Jules Verne, and what followed on [were things like] Stranger Things. The trope of looking at what’s buried under the floorboards – that came from his work. People who enjoy a horror film or a Miss Marple series will recognise his influence.” But bringing their vision into fruition was a mammoth task, involving more than 100 creatives who took seven weeks to build the Melbourne set. Says Siddle: “All the rooms are beautifully detailed and we’ve very conscious that with a work like this, the audience needs to be able to open things up, pick things up, and the finishes need to be of a high quality and durable. It really needs to feel real for the audience as well.” For Harvey, a self-described pop culture fan, “I feel like this world that we’ve created in A Midnight Visit is for people who’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be inside a David Lynch film”. ● A MIDNIGHT VISIT \ 222 Macaulay Road, North

is home might still be in Los Angeles but it is all about Australia when it comes to work for Richard Reid. After winning I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here last February, Reid now has a semi-permanent gig on Studio 10 on Network Ten and he would be very open to a more full-time job in Australia. “I would love to find the right job in Australia to be here full-time,” he told Domain Review. An established reporter and TV presenter in Los Angeles, he has now realised Australia is where it’s at for him. “When I did Celebrity Apprentice back in 2015, I realised then there are so many hopefuls in Los Angeles coming up every day, I was better off to focus on one place and I chose Australia,” he says. “I think this is really where the bulk of my work aspirations are these days.” Reid became a household name in Australia thanks to spending seven years as the entertainment reporter, dishing Hollywood scoops, on Channel 9’s flagship Today breakfast program, leaving in 2015.

He was on Today during the glory days, when cohosts Karl Stefanovic and Lisa Wilkinson were challenging the Sunrise powerhouse duo of David Koch and Sam Armytage, and giving them a run for their money in the ratings. Reid remains friends with Today entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins, whom he sees regularly. Appearing on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here gave Australia another look at Reid and they loved him. He has enormous gratitude for his second chance at a career in Australia. “For Australia to unofficially adopt me has been a real blessing in my life,” he said. “To be crowned King Of The Jungle by the Australian people, I feel like Sally Field getting her second Oscar. “You guys like me, you really do.

Preparing for the future

ecess, lunchtime and after-school are busy times at St Monica’s College in Epping. Some of the science and technology classrooms have become STEAM hubs – a place for students interested in understanding how things work to meet and brainstorm ideas. The hubs have become popular with boys and girls with a passion for computing, robotics and coding but as well as encouraging interest in the important STEM subjects, St Monica’s has added arts to the mix – hence the STEAM acronym. It’s just one way in which the co-educational catholic school is preparing students for their future workplace, whatever that may look like. And St Monica’s College is not the only school keeping a close eye on how to best equip students

with the right skills and mindset for the future. Across Melbourne, educational experts are developing new facilities and programs to cope with constantly changing workplaces. The STEAM hubs were introduced within the past year at St Monica’s College – initially at the junior campus and now the senior campus, too. “We have an ex-student who is a world champion drone flyer and some of our staff have donated old PlayStations and students have refurbished them and created gaming hubs. They can do coding work, take apart computers to understand how they work, and they can learn robotics and general tinkering,” says Cameron Whitford, deputy principal at St Monica’s College. “The hubs allow students to explore whatever they want with the available equipment. We’ve included the Arts and do some work around visual design, textiles and clothing design and we’d like to bring in digital arts in the next few years, too. “The hubs encourage an entrepreneurial spirit. When you think of some of the ideas and start-ups that came out of Silicon Valley, some of those

happened by default. The hubs encourage students to have a go, to fail and to try again.” The school has also undergone physical changes with learning spaces becoming adaptable to smaller groups or more open-space learning. St Monica’s also continues to build cultural and racial awareness and respect in an increasingly global world. At St Catherine’s School in Toorak, teachers encourage students to develop complex problemsolving skills. The girls’ school’s academic programs are guided by the advice of Australia’s chief scientist, Alan Finkel. “Finkel argues the importance of actually specialising in something – mastering a discipline and building a solid foundation in content that can then be applied through problem solving,” says principal, Michelle Carroll. Finkel also refers to the importance of the ‘T-Worker’, a term coined by IBM. “The vertical line of the ‘T’ represents a deep expertise in a specialised field and the horizontal bar represents the flexibility to apply this expertise creatively and collaboratively across a range of different situations and scenarios,” says Carroll.

“What is important for the future is the interconnection between a depth of knowledge in disciplines with key competencies such as critical thinking, communication skills and collaboration, and genuine character traits such as persistence, leadership and social and cultural awareness.” Encouraging students to take advantage of leadership opportunities is also a focus at St Catherine’s and the school actively uses its Old Girl network to mentor students. Carroll believes parents can also support their children to develop the skills and qualities that will help them in the workplaces of the future. “Parents need to foster a drive that enables teens to strive when challenged by learning when it is difficult and to seek opportunities for their daughters to ‘find their voice’ through reasoned thinking and articulation of ideas,” she says. “And parents must help by raising children with strong character traits that engender curiosity, persistence, leadership and a social and cultural awareness.” ● SARAH MARINOS

Learning real-life skills How schools are helping students get to grips with future challenges.

n 2001, Stephanie Alexander approached Collingwood College with an idea. She wanted to plant a school kitchen garden that would teach children how to grow fresh fruits and vegetables. Alexander then wanted to show the students how to turn that produce into nutritious meals. “I wanted to introduce these kids to the most amazing range of foods and tastes. I wanted them to understand the right time of year for planting asparagus and sweet corn and to know when food is ripe in the garden,” she says. “I want kids to be comfortable in the kitchen and garden and to make the connection between what they’ve grown and how to use it in the kitchen. I’d like to see every child in Australia have a kitchen garden as part of their primary school education.”

Since that first project in Collingwood, the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation has spread to schools across Victoria and the rest of the country. An aim of the kitchen garden project is to teach children positive food habits to help reduce child overweight and obesity issues. “We know this changes the way children feel about food,” says Alexander (pictured right). “When we started at Collingwood College, many of the children had never seen things that I thought were pretty ordinary – like beetroot, rhubarb and silverbeet. These things were not part of their lives but once they made something using those ingredients they were incredibly proud of themselves and their horizons were widened.” The Kitchen Garden Foundation is just one

successful example of how schools are looking beyond academic studies and exam results to equip students with real-world and practical skills. At Caulfield Grammar School, students are also looking beyond ATAR results to explore topics as diverse as financial literacy, safe-driving skills and drug and alcohol education. Around a fifth of 15-year-olds in Australia lack basic financial literacy skills according to an OECD report. The OECD describes financial literacy as a core life skill and recommends schools start teaching these skills early. This is important for a generation growing up in a world that makes it easy to spend invisible money and to face difficulties when using buy-now-pay-later schemes. The middle school program teaches students about budgeting and recognising financial scams. By year 12, students are learning about the intricacies of Australia’s tax system and how to manage credit cards and mobile phone contracts, says Stefaan Steyn, commerce learning area leader at Caulfield Grammar School. The school’s pastoral and house system introduce

At Preshil, the IB underpins an engaging and challenging curriculum, informed by the best contemporary research and a focus on the passions and future aspirations of each student.

older students to practical facts about the risks of drugs and alcohol on an age-appropriate basis. “We work with specialists who talk to students about recognising when someone is struggling, recognising danger signs and how to support a friend in a crisis,” says Steyn. Student-run diversity assemblies are also a way for the student community to highlight, discuss and learn about social issues. “Students with a particular interest in an issue work with teachers and put together a program for an assembly. They might present a video, arrange a panel with students, staff and external experts or bring in a guest speaker,” says Steyn. Topics covered in previous assemblies include gender diversity, body image and how to increase acceptance of people from refugee backgrounds. “Education is not just about the ATAR score. Students need a whole education and a values-based education that gives them a broader exposure to the real world,” he says. “We want them to have a sense that they’ve been given the skills and grounding to go into broader society.” ●

NICK EVANS

LEIGH HENNINGHAM

esley College has played a big role in Nick Evans’ life. A former student and teacher at Wesley, Evans returned to his alma mater this month to lead the school into its next chapter. He is only the second Old Wesley Collegian to be appointed principal since the school was founded in 1866 and has many deep and fond memories of his earliest days there, both within and beyond the academic arena. “When I think of my experiences here as a boy, the things that stand out for me are being part of productions, playing the violin - badly - and playing sport. I gained values here such as curiosity and imagination and I am still close friends with a range of people from the school,” recalls Evans When he graduated from Wesley College in the mid-1980s, Evans spent the next four years studying history – a subject that would become his enduring intellectual passion. A stint working behind the bar at Young and Jackson in the city followed. Later he spent 10 months in remote WA as a member of the shot crew at a gold mine. “That job was hard physical labour in extreme conditions, and it had a profound effect on me. It was the biggest cultural shock of my life,” says Evans. As the newly appointed 17th principal of Wesley College, this is Evans’ third association with the coeducational independent school. After returning from gold mining, he enrolled in a DipEd, became a teacher and returned to his former school to teach politics and history. Evans remained at Wesley for the next 20 years before becoming deputy headmaster and head of senior school at Melbourne Grammar School. He says returning to Wesley in his latest role has been a ‘humbling and moving’ experience. “I was very moved to get this job after my long association with the school. Wesley has been a large part of my life and of my family’s life - my father won a scholarship to come here and it transformed our family’s circumstances. So, I have a genuine, lifelong connection to the school. “I love Wesley’s holistic approach to education and its openness to the importance of traditions while

“My job is to create the conditions for everyone who works here to do the very best they can to create a wonderful experience for the students.” recognising the need to maintain contemporaneity in the education it provides. “Wesley values independent thought, imagination, creativity and a joy of learning. Those values are driven in large part by an ethos among the longserving teachers who hold the culture and heart of the school. I am very respectful of that.” Evans has clear beliefs on the many tasks that come with being an effective principal of an International Baccalaureate school of more than 3400 students. “You can’t do a good job as a principal unless you understand what happens to the students in classrooms, in rehearsal rooms or on the sporting

field. What happens in those places is key,” he explains. “An important part of my job is to make sure there are teachers here who can connect with students because I remember the profound relationships that I had with my teachers. Many of those relationships were formed while rehearsing plays and musicals, or while I was being coached in a sporting team, and they were valuable role models to me as a young man. “My job is to create the conditions for everyone who works here to do the very best they can to create a wonderful experience for the students.” ● SARAH MARINOS

TOORAK \ 29 SELBORNE ROAD 3

When people talk about their “forever home”, it’s with dewy eyes and heartfelt longing. Rob Mills gets the emotional thing. But to Mills, forever means built to last and finished in natural, eternally goodlooking materials. The architect designs for posterity, as proved by this Millsian masterpiece near Toorak village. Completed in 2003 for the current owners, the house has been a young family’s cherished home and airy haven. High ceilings and french doors to a leafy, north-facing courtyard allow the breeze to waft around in tranquillity, bearing the sweet scent of michelia trees. Ah! The loveliness happens within two solid-brick storeys, with formal and casual living and dining areas and up to four bedrooms, two of which are set up as studies. Beautiful materials – silk, wool, marble, limestone and granite – speak to the quiet desires of the home-loving heart. Books are welcome here, with polished timber bookcases, desks and wall units a feature of the communal areas, and there’s ample space to hang an art collection. Mills even built in a visual joke – with elegance, of course. (Admire the parquet hall, then go back and examine the front door.) Follow the gleaming hall past the powder room to the ground-floor bedroom or study. The living and dining area is sumptuous in burgundy silk taffeta curtains and cream carpet and has a black marble gas fireplace. French doors frame the view of the vine-laden side courtyard. The parquet meals and family area gets the sunny benefit
