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.

From p7

KRISTOFFER PAULSEN

“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

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’s taught me everything I know,” Perry says. Her father is still her cricket coach – a bond she doesn’t see any reason to change. “I owe it to him to be honest; he’s shown me what to do on the field and we still like to play cricket when we can. I’ve spent so much time away from home that I wish I could see them a lot more. The hardest part about playing is being away a lot.” While her brother took up the drums as a teenager, Perry was drawn to the guitar. Now, she’s just bought herself a harmonica.

“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.” ●

T

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

Adam Lambert WHO \ American

singer who also fronts the iconic rock band Queen WHAT \ After a memorable bushfire charity gig, he’s returning to solo work and a classic sound with his new album, Velvet WHEN \ The album is on sale from March 20

Your new album Velvet is all about love and relationships. Are you in a good place right now? I am totally in a great place right now, doing what I love and having the opportunity to tour and play with Queen and also focus on my solo career. But you’re right, the album is all about love – from self-esteem love to loving someone you can’t have to learning to let go in love. Right now I’m single and finding it hard to be in a relationship because of the nature of my work. I make lots of amazing connections but then I have to keep moving. Thank god for smartphones. You worked with Nile Rodgers on Velvet and revisit a classic sound – how has touring with Queen inf luenced the new material? I think sonically, this is the closest my solo work gets to my touring work with Queen. I mean it’s inevitable there is an influence, but with Velvet I really wanted to dig into those classics like soul, funk and disco and step away from that super pop and glossy sound. I had to really listen to my internal voice and I knew I didn’t want that; I also have streaming to thank for helping me delve into those eras and explore my dad’s vinyl collection, too. I’m really happy going down this road. And as for Nile, he’s amazing. He is such a generous man. I’ve worked with him on a song on my last album Trespassing and played with his band Chic. He’s generous, real and a great friend. What was it like to meet Madonna? I’ve met her briefly – it was pretty awe-inspiring. I have run into her a few times now and she knows who I am, which is an absolute honour.

Tell us about reprising Queen’s 1985 Live Aid set list for the Fire Fight Australia Benefit in Sydney last month. It was around New Year’s that we (Queen) knew we would do the fundraiser and thought what a cool idea to revive the song list. It was all part of a creative process that seemed right for the moment. It hadn’t been played live like that in 35 years. It also appealed to me personally because I had a chance to recreate that iconic moment in Australia. Your mother outed you as gay at 18. Tell us how you felt when she did that. I was shocked, but totally fine with it. I think she knew what I couldn’t say for a long time. She even went to a gay and lesbian service to seek help to encourage me to come out to her. She made it so easy and has always been supportive. Coming out was a big deal 20 years ago. I was so green and didn’t have life experience and (was) sort of afraid of speaking up. Do you stay in contact with people from your childhood now that you’re famous? My first f latmate Johanna is now a mother of two and was just the sort of confidence person I needed in my life when I was coming out – we still stay in touch. I have always been lucky with female friends – even at high school – they just got me. I didn’t have to say anything; they just knew and created a safe space for me. Yes, I still stay in touch with some of them. ●

f you’ve ever stood on Princes Bridge and peered into the murky depths below, it’s unlikely that, even on the hottest day, you felt tempted by a quick dip. Inviting, it isn’t. But it wasn’t always so. Early last century the river was well-used for swimming, with clubs and pools alongside. There are still popular bathing spots.

“Melbourne has this amazing resource at its fingertips for furthering the health of its residents and it’s not able to be utilised.” ART DIRECTOR RACHEL MACKAY benefits come from,” Mackay says. But they won’t encourage river jumps. “We’ve created a bucket shower, you pull on a rope to a tank of water.” Volunteers partly excavated the pool remains, but Mackay says little is visible – mostly metal steps. However, Darebin Heritage recounts excitement at its opening in 1924 and photographs show crowds lining the riverbank. The city’s first river baths were opened in 1844 and cost sixpence in the “respectable” section and threepence in the working men’s section, Rachel Winterton writes in her thesis on swimming in late colonial Melbourne. Although the council made it illegal to bathe elsewhere in the 242-kilometre river, they were unprofitable, closing three years later. Another opened in 1849. But again, these river baths struggled to turn a profit – as the Yarra became increasingly polluted. When the last baths closed in 1859 “it was reported that the water was

little more than raw sewage”. Even today there are reports of human sickness linked to the Yarra water. It’s illegal to swim south of Collins Bridge, Collingwood, where the Yarra becomes a boating channel. But Yarra riverkeeper Andrew Kelly, who advocates for the river and has swum at Warrandyte, says it depends where you swim – and when. “You can swim in it, but I certainly would not after rain,” he says. Meanwhile Mackay hopes Melburnians will gather at the sauna, recreating the relaxed and neighbourly spirit of the river baths. “The experience is about the community, communication and bringing people together.” ● ATMOSPHERE: A REVIVAL \ The Old Alphington Swimming Pool ● 1a View Street, Alphington MELBOURNE DESIGN WEEK NGV \ March 12-22

Mostly, though, the river’s bathing culture died out as it became increasingly polluted. Now, for Melbourne Design Week, a Sydneybased art and architecture collective has created Atmosphere: A Revival, a public sauna installation at the old riverbank Alphington swimming pool site. “It’s a statement about the fact that Melbourne has this amazing resource at its fingertips for furthering the health of its residents and it’s not able to be utilised,” Studio Rain art director Rachel Mackay says. Mackay has worked in Scandinavia and is “a very big sauna enthusiast”. Budget problems stalled this project last year so Rain created Atmosphere Pavilion, a prototype encircled by water and mist at Fairfield amphitheatre. This year, it’s the real thing.

hen you hear about the accolades that landscape designer Phillip Withers has received – he was the 2017 gold medal and City of Melbourne Best in Show winner at that year’s Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show – you imagine a seasoned, older, gentleman. Instead, Withers is all of 35 and sports a vastly different approach to many of his more traditional colleagues. With a background in fashion design, Withers is hoping to prove that the romantic 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.

Wo r d s

The winning 2017 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show creation by Phillip Withers (opposite), researching plant life

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

TRAVEL \ TURKEY

Let food guide you

With a rich history, hot air balloon rides and hidden gems, Turkey remains a holiday hot spot for every breed of traveller. But if you really want to dive in to all the country has to offer, it’s best to do so stomach-first.

A day in Istanbul Karakoy is a hip harbour area on the northern side of the Galata Bridge. It’s a wonderful jumble of local life and tourist-friendly cafes and bars. Stroll 20 minutes uphill to Lades Menemen for traditional scrambled eggs with crusty bread. In Galata Simitci locals eat warm simit (somewhere between a pretzel and bagel) with tea. Walk over the Golden Horn to Eminonu, where

Wo r d s

Yeni Cami (New Mosque) overlooks a square buzzing with food vendors. Trying balik ekmek, a grilled fish sandwich served from a rocking boat, is a rite of passage, but watch out for bones. You could spend the rest of the afternoon at Misir Carsisi Spice Bazaar, a welcome assault of colours, smells and samples. If you’re in the market for jewels, antiques, carpets and textiles, kitchenware or Turkish decor for home, don your bargaining hat and embrace the chaos of The Grand Bazaar, just 650 metres from the Spice Bazaar. Reward yourself with a drink and shisha at a nearby rooftop bar (they’ll find you) before dinner back in Karakoy. If you’re into street food, Balik Durum Mehmet Usta on Mumhane Caddesi cooks life-altering fish wraps. ● S O F IA L E VI N


A weekend in Istanbul

A fortnight in Turkey

Spend the first half of day two hitting both Sultan Ahmed Mosque (aka the Blue Mosque) and Hagia Sophia. The former is adorned with blue tiles and stained-glass windows dating back to the 16th century, while the latter was a cathedral and then mosque before becoming a museum. Dress appropriately and visit the Blue Mosque first thing, checking online to avoid prayer times, and make it to Hagia Sophia a few hundred metres away for the 9am opening time. You’ll be in Balat, a 15-minute drive away, in time for brunch at cafe. The traditional breakfast will keep you going as you explore the neighbourhood on foot. Formerly the Jewish Quarter, it’s a photographer’s dream with colourful houses, cobbled streets, antique auction houses, clothing stores and cafes. Don’t miss the Phanar Greek Orthodox College, and pause for a photo on the rainbow

The best way to get into the guts of a country like Turkey is through food. Intrepid Travel offers a small-group 10-day tour called Turkey Real Food Adventure that includes accommodation, most meals and foodie experiences you won’t find elsewhere for $1975. Spend the extra time in Istanbul to fully immerse yourself in the capital, but save the Spice Bazaar and Eminonu for your guided tour. Over the 10 days you’ll also visit 1500-year-old Ephesus,

For dinner, Koskeroglu is split into multiple restaurants serving kebabs, lahmacun Turkish pizzas and incredible baklava.

forage on a farm in Bodrum, learn to make gozleme and manti (Turkish dumplings), visit a small hill town for some local hospitality, cook Central Anatolian cuisine in Goreme (and still have the opportunity for a hot air balloon add-on), visit a winery in Cappadocia and much more. ● NOTES FROM THE ROAD Pack light if you plan to hit the bazaars, and shop around.

Don’t go overboard This first-time cruise wasn’t as perfect as the brochures promised.

W

hen I board the 2600-passenger cruise liner on a glorious Melbourne day for my first-ever cruise, I expect that between Station Pier and our six New Zealand ports I’ll play a few games – trivia perhaps, or Scrabble. What I don’t expect is Hunt the Body. But on our second night at sea, it begins. The Tasman an angry grey outside my cabin window, I am tucked up reading when the captain’s voice shatters the peace. A passenger has reported a person in the water. Dropping a marker, the ship begins turning. All passengers, most amid their evening’s entertainment (eating, drinking, gambling and enjoying the highly professional shows) are ordered to their cabins for counting. Those with balconies are warned to stay

quiet and to listen for unusual noises. The captain’s tense voice broadcasts updates plus reporting instructions to the 1100-strong crew. Quickly, all passengers and crew are accounted for. The search continues, but then, after consulting US headquarters, the captain calls it off. It could have been a log, he tells us, or a piece of kelp. Immediately, his authoritative voice is replaced by that of the ever-upbeat cruise director – the bars are open, the movie, karaoke and concert are beginning. “Grab a drink, we’ll see you there.” If the passenger did see a person in the water, it wasn’t one of ours, so on with the show. At the vast buffet breakfast next morning passengers discuss the scare, but initial tension quickly lifts. They’ve paid for all-inclusive food and

It’s an advantage of travelling solo, though I avoid the Singles and Solo Travelers Get-Togethers listed in the daily newsletter. There is also an LGBTQ+ get-together, a welcome progressive approach from a line that struggles to provide vegan food. Although the ship’s horn sounds constantly through the fog, hardy types huddle under blankets watching outdoor movies. But visibility is minimal and the weather precludes cruising in Fiordland. The pilot and ranger cannot board – cue entertainment crew overdrive. If in doubt, more bingo. No mention here of the local opposition to such large vessels cruising the delicate fiord ecosystems.

against enticing painted backdrops and at ports costumed crew pose with passengers. Like the art auctions, bingo and shopping arcade, it’s value-adding for the cruise line. But at east coast Tauranga, the wheels come off. Face-painted crew dressed as Maori stage a fake welcoming ceremony and local Maori are aghast. There are racism accusations and the mayor, tourism and port authorities buy into the controversy. It’s an own goal for the cruise company and its PR team – who earlier nixed my request to interview the Kiwi scientist-turned-cruise director without US HQ’s approval and advance questions – is suddenly vocal. Few passengers seem concerned or even aware of this. Many are cruising veterans, their lanyards carrying their swipe cards sport multiple previous cruise badges. At the daily trivia a passenger answering an obscure geography question tells the quizmaster she has been there. Our chirpy host, clad in shorts despite the cold, wonders whether that was with our cruise line. “Of course,” the passenger exclaims. ●

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Talking Heads

ADRIAN FARRER

GREG BRIGGS

“T

here are industries, like education, that do good in the world just by being who they are. Education appreciates people’s different strengths and values and I see that at Trinity Grammar,” says recently appointed principal of Trinity Grammar School Adrian Farrer. “Trinity’s way of treating each student is to ask, ‘What can you do and what can you do that you didn’t know you could do?’ We ask our students to try lots of different things and they learn through their trials and triumphs.” Farrer’s appointment at Trinity has seen him, wife Jacquie and their three daughters return to Melbourne after seven years in Wangaratta where Farrer was principal at Cathedral College. A keen North Melbourne supporter, he’s looking forward to seeing more live footy, and he says his three daughters are enjoying school life without having dad as their principal. Farrer grew up in Brunswick, and after attending the local primary school he joined Melbourne Grammar. It was there that he discovered the potential that comes with a broad education. “Learning wasn’t just from books – learning happened on the stage, on the footy field and while playing an instrument. That captured my imagination,” says Farrer. “I remember playing football one day and my opponent asked me if I was wearing makeup. The night before I’d been on stage in West Side Story and hadn’t done a very efficient job of removing the make-up! So one moment I was on stage singing solos and the next I was representing the school on the footy field and trying to get the best out of myself in each area. It’s impossible to ignite passion without opportunity.” Through his time at school, his studies at the University of Melbourne and his increasingly senior roles in independent schools, Farrer has been influenced by positive role models. “The people I have borrowed from brought energy, humour and integrity to what they did,” he says. “The most powerful thing in education is positive relationships and I believe that you can’t teach a student unless you know them. “When I started at Trinity, I met with the school’s

“We ask our students to try lots of different things and they learn through their trials and triumphs.” senior leadership team and asked, ‘What do you think we do better than anyone else in our world?’ Resoundingly the response was that we know our students.” Farrer teaches ethics and religion to year 10 students and says the classroom contact ensures he stays in touch with current student thinking. “They provide a 2020 view and that’s enlightening,” he says. “Being in the classroom enables school leaders to look their colleagues in the eye because they know that you know what you are doing. And students look at you as a teacher and learner rather than someone who sits in a well-appointed office. “If we make decisions on behalf of young people, we need to do it beside them. “Experience is needed when there are big

decisions to be made but young people bring a considered voice, too.” Farrer is embarking on lunch meetings with students over the next few months to gather their insight about how Trinity can continue to excel. He is also speaking to staff and parents and over the next couple of years he will help develop a strategic masterplan for the school. “We are making decisions about who we are and I suspect it will be an even better version of who we are now. We will always provide opportunities for our young people to demonstrate their authenticity,” says Farrer. “People are passionate about Trinity and if we can continue to harness that passion then we will move forward.” ● SARAH MARINOS

verlooking the Yarra River and inner Melbourne’s largest natural bushlands, Studley Park is one of Melbourne’s most desirable and tightly held residential enclaves. The design and construction quality of its residences always seeks to match the surrounding natural majesty – Studley Park’s significant architectural heritage includes 1870s Italianate mansion Raheen as well as notable period and modernist homes. Continuing this tradition, Melbourne developer Above Zero created an Australian-first, connecting acclaimed Australian architects Cera Stribley and Eckersley Gardens with internationally renowned UK-based designer Tom Dixon to create 14 exceptional north or west-facing residences. Thanks to the site’s natural elevation, residents will enjoy magnificent views of the city and the surrounding bushland, framed by the organic curves of Rondure’s concrete and steel facade. Prices start at $1.5 million for a two-bedroom home with a study and go up to $6.95 million for a whole-floor penthouse. ● LIZ McLACHLAN

This house is just 18 months old, yet its land is laden with heritage. In Kew, three little syllables – Sackville Ward – mean so much: schools, grand mansions, leafy loveliness. Davis Street runs right through that fabled terrain, as it has since the mid 1840s, when developer Peter Davis got lucky in the government land sales. Melbourne had barely begun, yet Davis knew this pretty hill was one of its best bits – and so it remains to this day. Built for the current owners, the two-storey house presents a stern, grey face to the street. Don’t be frightened. Behind the blue door lies a heart of gold, a sunny family home with rooms of impressive, lovable proportions. Even the smallest bedroom is big. There’s thoughtful attention to every detail, especially to storage, which is presented in beautiful white joinery and plenty of it. Two living rooms (upstairs and down), zoned bedrooms, a marble kitchen and a landscaped deck with a gorgeous north-west aspect are set to captivate a school-aged family seeking space and sunshine in this desirable neighbourhood. The side hall gives internal access to the double garage at the front. Follow the oak floorboards to the main bedroom suite, secluded unto itself with a spectacular bathroom whose rain shower has a full-length view of the maples outside. Below the staircase is a wine store. There’s a powder room and a laundry with courtyard access. Hate cooking? The kitchen might change your mind.
