Australian actor Bryan Brown is that special breed of thespian – almost always an Aussie, and sometimes a Kiwi – who is as comfortable in command of an audience at the famous Old Vic as he is telling his mates a yarn in a beer garden at the local pub. Humble and candid, in this cover feature with journalist Rachelle Unreich, he discusses becoming a better person by acknowledging his struggle with anxiety, and how that understanding of human fragility – which does not discriminate – informs his performance in the gorgeous new Australian movie Palm Beach. ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am Geoffrey Carran” … and I’m an artist Both my parents are artists, and I’ve drawn and painted my whole life and went to art school in New Zealand. When I moved over in my 20s, a lot of my friends had moved to Melbourne and they all seemed to be doing very well.

The first time I came to Australia I was 10, and I was blown away by the birdlife. We were in Queensland and I just had these vivid memories of flocks of rainbow lorikeets – I just thought it was so exotic and amazing. Most birds in New Zealand are brown and green; they’re bush colours.

I didn’t really start painting birds again until we started running my wife’s (fellow artist Rowena Martinich) sheep property in the western Wimmera. There were so many different cockatoo species out there.

For the past seven years, Rowena and I have been down on the Surf Coast – in Jan Juc – full-time, but I’ve been living down here on and off since 2004.

There are a lot of creative people on the coast.

If you’re a person who spends a lot of time in your head, sometimes having physical space to send your thoughts out into really helps. But it’s also the rolling, undulating nature of the space, and the close connection to nature.

In a way a painting’s like a crystallisation of a moment, so you’re dragging the paintbrush across the canvas and you have to make a decision to keep that and kind of lock it in. When I’m really hooked into a piece, I could work all day on it.

I just finished a massive project with a brand new five-star hotel in Melbourne. They approached me to do the artwork for every single room. It was over 260 works, so it was a dream project just to work on something of that scale.

The idea of the starving artist is a total misconception. I learnt from running my previous landscaping business, and my wife is very business savvy and entrepreneurial. I can’t emphasise enough what a turning point it was meeting her.

Art is one of those careers that can really sustain you mentally, emotionally and intellectually, and I hope it can keep sustaining us.

It has always been my dream job, and it is a dream to actually be living it. ●

COVER STORY

Revealing the life of Bryan At 72, Bryan Brown has a deep knowledge of the challenges facing the Baby Boomer characters in his new Australian movie Palm Beach.

B

ryan Brown doesn’t understand Instagram. Oh, he gets its machinations all right, but he looks flummoxed when I say that congratulations are almost due, with his daughter Matilda’s then-pending birth to Bryan’s first grandson.

I know it’s a boy, and I even know that his intended name is Zan, thanks to Matilda’s social media account.

Brown shakes his head and laughs; I figure he’s a hash-it-outer, rather than a hashtagger.

None of this is to say that Brown is behind the times; to wit, he has produced and is starring in a most contemporary movie, Palm Beach.

At first, it sounds like The Big Chill a few decades on: a group of close friends gather together in the same house for three days, reminiscing and comparing notes on where they are in life.

There’s appealing music and a stellar cast, including Brown, Sam Neill, Greta Scacchi, Richard E. Grant, Jacqueline McKenzie and Brown’s aforementioned daughter Matilda Brown.

But closer scrutiny reveals that Palm Beach deals with some hefty psychological issues among the 50plus set. It centres on a group of people who’ve achieved many of life’s typical goals – they have families, work successes, marriages – and yet each faces a certain emptiness.

Ostensibly, it’s a film about friendship, kinship, love. But it also deftly deals with mental health challenges – especially among men – and other themes that prick the viewer’s thoughts long after the film has ended.

They’re topics not often talked about: the way (some) men are in danger of losing their identity once their job ends, the subconscious way (some) men want their sons to be just like them – and feel disappointed when they’re not – and the way (some) relationships might falter due to the sheer passage of time. Later-life crisis, it seems, puts the boom back into Baby Boomers.

Brown came up with the idea after holidaying with friends in Wales. There, he realised that his comrades “were all dealing with different things.

One of my good mates had been a terrific businessman. Funny bastard. Sold his business, was bumping into walls. Another mate had been made redundant. Was still going to the same restaurant and shaking hands with the maitre d’ every three days because that was his identity.

“Another bloke had been up and down with drink problems all his life, and sometimes it was there and sometimes it wasn’t … Almost every one of those blokes was walking in quicksand. All very capable people, all successful in their own right, and all with many years in front of them.”

Brown, a man largely seen as having it all – if “all” includes four decades of fame, three kids and a successful Hollywood marriage, as Palm Beach’s director and co-writer, the actress Rachel Ward, is also his wife of 36 years – discovered he had challenges, too. “I’d gone through a period of anxiety that I’d been dealing with, that I didn’t know I had.

I thought I had a physical sickness,” he says. “[But it was] a mental sickness than had come on from 15 years ago, when I got very ill on a movie in Los Angeles and was rushed into intensive care.

“Life … isn’t worthwhile without struggle. It’s part of what the human being does.”

“I didn’t realise that every time I travelled from there on, I was building up this anxiety ... It was no little thing for six months. Even once I realised [what it was], I still had to deal with it, but at least I knew what I was dealing with.”

Before then, he says, “I was one of those blokes that, if someone would say ‘so and so’s depressed’ who had everything going for him, I’d say, 'Oh, tell him to pull his finger out’. When this happened to me, I became a better bloke. Sometimes you can’t pull your finger out.”

It’s clear that Brown works hard to be better and do better, lending a hand to an array of causes.

He’s an ambassador for the Australian Alzheimer’s Research Foundation and he headed the We’re Better Than This campaign to end the practice of holding children in detention centres.

He’s also a patron for the Bankstown Arts Centre, which formerly housed the public pool responsible for his 25-yards freestyle swimming certificate, when he was still a kid being raised in Bankstown commission housing.

Despite having nearly 100 acting credits to his name – which include the seminal Australian movie Breaker Morant, the Oscar nominated Gorillas in the Mist, the recent Sweet Country (a favourite among film critics) and a hilarious comic turn in the Ben Stiller-Jennifer Aniston film Along Came Polly – he also has a common-guy’s way of engaging.

When I make a point about Palm Beach – that it’s about people who learn that altering their perception of their own lives is more powerful than changing their actual reality – I do so in a fumbling fashion. Instead of nodding and moving on, Brown leans forward and says, “Explain that to me better”.

He is a man who prefers to converse, rather than just answer questions.

And he doesn’t want to just talk about himself.

Instead, we veer into other territory: how brilliant he found the Ricky Gervais TV series After Life to be, and the fact that he’s animated 50 of Michael Leunig’s cartoons.

He surfs, is a voracious reader (especially of crime fiction), does Pilates four times a week and loves rugby league. He likes to wander around the streets of his inner-city suburb in Sydney, and talk to shopkeepers.

“I know every bank teller, bloody coffee shop bloke, sports store owner in my area. Every one of them. I’m a dreadful yacker.”

At 72, he’s handsome, affable, charismatic.

He smiles with his eyes. His gaze is as direct as a Google map. To sit with Bryan Brown is to remember, despite his I’m-just-a-regular-guy folksiness, that he is a Movie Star.

But he’s aware of his need to combat that.

“I think the thing that can happen in my game is you can live in a bubble [but] life’s really outside the bubble. I’ll get on a ferry and go into town.

Watch people. Say g’day to someone. And you sort of go, ‘How lovely is this? How lovely is the real world?’

“And I think that’s the thing that the movie hopefully says. Of course, we struggle. Life doesn’t exist without struggle; it isn’t worthwhile without struggle. It’s part of what the human being does.

But I’m often amazed by the people I see and the struggles they have. From those people, I see the most extraordinary generosity.” ● ● Palm Beach (Universal Pictures) is in cinemas from August 8.

arb originates from Laos and Thailand. It usually consists of minced meat such as beef, pork, or chicken cooked with fresh herbs, a sweet and salty sauce and a bucket load of chillies.

I decided to do a vegetarian version of this dish.

I first had it at one of my all-time favourite restaurants in Bangkok, Supanniga.

I stumbled upon this place about eight years ago and, on my recent trip back to Bangkok this April, it was good to know that it was still there and they now have a few outlets and have been awarded one Michelin star.

Mushrooms are a great substitute for meat as they are very meaty and take on different flavours very well. The sauce is usually made of fish sauce but I've substituted it with soy sauce to keep it all vegetarian. â—?

R

andom International’s famous artwork Rain Room will be unveiled in Melbourne this week, making its southern hemisphere debut at the Jackalope Pavilion in St Kilda.

You can thank hotelier and art collector Louis Li, founder of the Jackalope hotel on the Mornington Peninsula, for getting this ambitious project to our shores.

The installation was unveiled at an exhibition at The Barbican in London in 2012. It quickly attracted long queues keen to tap into Rain Room’s

So imagine standing in a 100-square-metre field of rain without getting wet? For 20-minute increments at a time, this installation is about trusting the process. There’s also no need to pack an umbrella.

Rain Room was created by contemporary artists Hannes Koch, Florian Ortkrass and Stuart Wood, who came up with the idea 10 years

ago. The Royal College of Art graduates from London wanted to create an artwork that involved technology and nature, housed in a purpose-built structure to inspire you to think outside the square.

“To be totally honest, we have had our eyes on Australia for quite some time,” Koch says of trying to get the installation here. “There’s an incredibly vibrant art scene there from the NGV to the private sector at

MONA but, after making a couple of attempts, it never worked out.

It took the tenacity and enthusiasm of Louis Li to get this beast going.”

Rain Room will be presented in association with ACMI and housed at the corner of Acland and Jackson streets in St Kilda for the next two years. It will remain permanently in Australia after that.

The purpose-built pavilion in Melbourne was created by March

by Studio Ongarat. According to Koch, Rain Room is a highly complex artwork that can track movements in 3D. “It can track multiple human bodies and switches sounds on and off,” he says. “There’s nothing Disneyesque about this setting. We’ve purposefully kept it understated and quiet, it should be a space that you interact with in your own way.

“Rain is a fundamental phenomenon that everyone can relate to. It triggers all sorts of responses, but what you get from it is up to you.”

Li felt an intense connection to the artwork when he first saw it three

years ago. “I established Jackalope as a brand that would create transformative and immersive experiences in hospitality, and so when I first experienced Rain Room, I instantly felt this would fit perfectly into the architecture of our brand and what we represent,” Li says.

“I wanted to introduce a piece [of art] that would further capture the spirit of our hotels – an interplay between imagination, mystery and science.” ● RAIN ROOM \ From August 9, Jackalope Pavilion, St Kilda

Top journalist’s inside account

n April 2013, Adele Ferguson received a phone message that was to trigger the chain of events that culminated in the banking royal commission.

The Gold Walkley award-winning business journalist begins her searing book with the voicemail left by then Nationals senator John “Wacka” Williams, with whom she had worked previously to expose dodgy behaviour in the insolvency industry.

Williams had a whistle-blower who had documents showing the Commonwealth Bank engaging in all sorts of deceptive conduct that left many of its customers in the lurch.

From here, Ferguson recounts, in at times truly shocking detail, the catalogue of misdeeds by the major banks and big insurance companies that chief executives and boards were turning a blind eye to in the aggressive pursuit of bigger and bigger profits.

Yes, we’ve by now all heard the appalling stories, but Banking Bad gives us a unique insight into how Ferguson, and her colleagues at The Age and the ABC’s Four Corners program, went about piecing together just how systemic the fraud and deception really was in Australia’s financial services sector.

Ferguson’s pacy writing style gives the book the air of a corporate thriller and she reveals attempts to smear her reputation, through false allegations of ethical misconduct. Disturbingly, Ferguson recounts

ustralian supergroup Arc will perform the Beatles’ Abbey Road – their 11th and final studio album – in its entirety next month, 50 years since it was released.

Spiderbait’s Kram (aka Mark Maher), Davey Lane of You Am I, Jet’s Mark Wilson and Darren Middleton of Powderfinger fame became friends when their respective bands shared stages and toured the country over the years. Now they unite over a love of Beatles’ songs.

The group will play the songs from the Beatles’ album with the iconic cover – the Fab Four walking across a zebra crossing outside the famous Abbey Road Studios in 1969 – at the Palais Theatre on August 15 (part of a national tour).

Arc formed in 2014 when Middleton asked his friends to do a one-off show in Brazil for the World

Cup. They churned through plenty of Aussie classics (think AC/DC, Cold Chisel and INXS) and their own hits at the time. That buzz has led to many reunions ever since.

Kram was introduced to the Beatles’ Abbey Road via Spiderbait co-founder Janet English, who gave him a copy on cassette.

“I was at high school and Janet was at university,” says Kram of his earliest memory of the album.

“What I didn’t realise at the time was the tape Janet gave me was missing two key songs from Abbey Road – she hated Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and Octopus’s Garden so left them off, I didn’t know those songs existed until years later,” he laughs.

Kram says performing Abbey Road with Arc makes sense given the impact the Beatles had on

their respective musical careers. “We have the ability to do what we want with this band which suits us all,” Kram says. “There’s a good equality about it and while we’re often described as a supergroup, there’s no ego here and it’s very rewarding playing with these guys.”

Jet bassist Wilson will step into a world of Paul McCartney when he takes on Abbey Road.

He first discovered the Beatles as a child, when his stepfather taught him to play vinyl on a record player and got him curious about their music.

“My stepfather moved in with us when I was six.

He was new on the scene and, I guess, tried to get in the good books by showing us his music knowledge,” Wilson says. “My dad had Beatles’ albums too, and the first cassette I ever bought was the Beatles’

“We’ve all been in bands long enough to see the fun side to this,” Wilson says. “Our normal bands feel like work, this feels like going away with your pals. We have never taken ourselves seriously either and what started as a side thing is now keeping us super busy.” Wilson says they’ve been rehearsing for a few weeks, but says the songs are “in our bones”.

“These Beatles’ songs are both simple and complex,” Wilson says. “A song like Oh! Darling is so easy for everyone in the band, I mean it’s a big thing vocally, but the bass line is quite busy.

“McCartney’s bass lines are idiosyncratic and learning them perfectly is near impossible – he does his own thing, so the best you can do is try to copy him as well as you can.”

Meet St Catherine’s Old Girls’ Fellows

W

hen Chrissy Ryan became president of the St Catherine’s Old Girls’ Association (SCOGA), she was keen to introduce an initiative that would recognise excellence within the Old Girls community. The association has a 7500-strong membership and Ryan says many of those members are working and making valuable contributions to society.

So, in 2018, the St Catherine’s Old Girls’ Association Fellowship was launched. It offers up to $5000 towards further study or to support the recipient to continue their professional development and help the broader community.

“We wanted the person to be committed to professional learning and continuous improvement within themselves. And we were very keen that the person was aligned with St Catherine’s values and motto,” says Ryan.

“The motto – ‘Nil magnum nisi bonum’ or ‘nothing is great unless it is good’ – is drummed into us as students of the school. So are the school values of integrity, curiosity, perseverance and empathy.

We wanted the recipients of the fellowship to demonstrate these values.”

The SCOGA judging panel found it hard to choose between two outstanding applicants and so awarded two fellowships in 2018 to Alexandra Chung and Jessica Martin.

Chung graduated from St Catherine’s in 2001, completed a bachelor of nutrition and dietetics at Monash University and worked as a dietitian in community health. She is a PhD candidate writing a thesis on how to reduce socio-economic inequities in childhood obesity.

“Instead of saying ‘you must eat more fruit and vegetables’, my work is looking at how we can make the environment we live in more conducive to a healthier diet,” says Chung.

“As a parent of two young children I see how difficult it can be to make healthy choices. You walk through the supermarket and face a barrage of unhealthy food. So how can we advocate for regulatory approaches to improve childhood obesity, like restricting junk food advertising targeted to children or applying regulations to restrict the unhealthy food sponsorship of children’s sport?”

Chung was thrilled to win the SCOGA Fellowship

A L E X A N D R A C H U N G , C H R I S S Y RYA N & J E S S I CA M A R T I N

and used her prize to attend the Food Governance Conference at the University of Sydney. “The conference brought together key leaders in the field, so it was a great opportunity to engage with those people, to present some of my research and to be inspired by the cutting-edge work happening in food regulation and food policy,” says Chung.

“I was fortunate to have an education at St Catherine’s and I’m very proud to be a Fellow.”

Jessica Martin graduated from St Catherine’s in 2013 and then studied a bachelor of vision science and a master of optometry at Deakin University. She began her career in optometry in Yarrawonga and Tasmania before recently moving back to her hometown of Mansfield where Martin now has her own optometry business.

“I enjoy working in rural and regional health because there is a lot of shared care between local GPs and allied health services,” she says.

ST CATHERINE’S SCHOOL \ 17 Heyington Place, Toorak ● 9822 1285 ● stcatherines.net.au

To further her experience of the challenges of working in more remote health locations, Martin used her fellowship funding to travel to Sri Lanka for a week. She was part of a charity project providing free eye health care to villagers in a remote part of the country.

“I wanted to volunteer to see rural healthcare in a developing world and to add quality to peoples’ lives. We opened our services to any villagers who wanted our help and one morning we had 600 people waiting at the gate before 8am,” says Martin.

“I did a lot of refracting or measuring people for prescription glasses and we had also fundraised to pay for glasses and were able to give those to people.

I’m hoping to return next year and to get more equipment so we can treat eye diseases like glaucoma. I couldn’t have had this experience without St Catherine’s and the fellowship.” ● SARAH MARINOS

The high side of Glyndon Road faces glorious due west. In the 1930s, when this Californian bungalow was built, the view was of the sunset through trees; now it’s the sunset spangled by city skyscraper lights.

Like the view, this property has come of age. Superbly renovated by the owners – here since 2007 – it’s an artful blend of contemporary chic with the dainty details of 80 years ago. Original sitting and dining rooms, with polished floorboards and high, corniced ceilings, maintain the vintage glamour.

For families who like to entertain on an executive scale, the meals and living areas – with the covered terrace, pool and pavilion beyond – are the epitome of smart casual.

And should the floor plan need to flex, it’s easy: four firstfloor bedrooms are complemented by one on the ground floor, plus a study.

The front sitting room is elegant in picture rails and sash windows and has a 1930s brick open fireplace. Adjoining it is the compact dining room. The fitted study and bedroom are across the central hall.

The meals area is breathtaking in polished hardwood and full-length glazing, with three pairs of french doors to the garden and heated barbecue terrace. Its rival in beauty is the new kitchen, with Gaggenau and Miele appliances and a huge island amid panelled cabinetry and seductive downlighting. The living room has cornered windows with a pool view; there’s a laundry and a bathroom in a side wing.

Children will love the elevated pool, which comes with its own pavilion (and bathroom) that the owners use for ping-

Bedroom two has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. Two further bedrooms have desks and wardrobes and share a central bathroom and a wide balcony looking over the pool.

The property has hydronic heating, reverse cycle cooling and security, plus a double carport. It’s a quick, scenic walk to Hartwell station and primary school. ● ALISON BARCLAY property@domainreview.com.au Agent: Marshall White, James Tostevin 0417 003 333 Price: $3 million-$3.2 million Auction: 11.30am, August 10

With a huge rear garden opening to the Gardiners Creek parklands, this address has nature’s glory in abundance. The owners – here since 1985 – love the family-friendly spaces: adjoining living and dining rooms, a meals area, a covered deck and a patio with a fire pit. The two-storey house has timber ceilings and a slate fireplace and the floor plan is smartly zoned, with three first-floor bedrooms (main with en suite and a private balcony) and a retreat, plus a groundfloor study with a bathroom. An easy walk to East Malvern station and Solway Primary School, the property is poised for a school-aged family seeking the good life without renovation. ● ALISON BARCLAY Agent: Kay & Burton, Nathan Verwoert, 0413 599 111 Price: $1.85 million-$1.95 million Expressions of interest: close 5pm, August 15
