When the state government announced the reopening of hospitality, Melburnians cast aside well-worn sourdough and banana bread recipes. This was something that would tangibly change the monotony of daily life for most of 2020 – the simple act of sitting down for a plate of food lovingly made by someone else. Breaking bread with friends was the first thing so many longed to do once out of lockdown, and that burning hunger has inspired superb new ways of eating out. This week discover Melbourne’s largest outdoor dining venue, The Commons at Ormond Collective. ●

COVER STORY Melbourne’s biggest outdoor dining venue and market offers a sun-filled, stylish day out.

M

elbourne’s largest outdoor dining venue, The Commons, has officially opened – just in time for the easing of COVID-19-related restrictions and summer ahead.

At Ormond Collective on St Kilda Road (more commonly known as the site of Ormond Hall and former Belgian Beer Cafe), the venue is the latest venture from events and hospitality company The Big Group.

If it wasn’t for the pandemic, it’s unlikely The Commons would exist. The idea of the business was born mere months ago, when The Big Group was forced to lay off 130 full-time staff and 600 casual workers.

“Retail is not my core business, because I like the events model better, but we had no revenue,” says The Big Group’s Bruce Keebaugh, who founded the company with wife Chyka.

“The main thing I had to do was protect my people, and reposition our product.”

B R U C E & C H Y K A K E E BAU G H

Common love for al fresco dining “I think when people come down here, they’ll find it joyful. It will be a nice respite after a long eight months of lockdown.”

BRUCE KEEBAUGH

Recognising the potential of outdoor dining to revitalise the business and Melbourne’s wider hospitality industry, The Big Group set about transforming Ormond Collective (which the company already owned and operated as an events space) into the city’s biggest venue of its kind.

The Commons adopts a similar structure to the hugely successful The Grounds of Alexandria in Sydney, marking a welcome addition to the Melbourne dining scene.

Customers of The Commons can pick up takeaway in The Conservatory, enjoy a casual drink in The Beer Garden or indulge in a boozy lunch at The Garden Cafe. These areas are all serviced by The Kitchen Garden, where the venue’s seasonal produce is grown. The venue also hosts a mini market on weekends selling locally cut flowers.

All outdoor spaces are dog friendly, with daybeds, ample space for playing fetch, and treats available.

The transformed Ormond Collective site is almost entirely the work of The Big Group team, which designed the branding, created the menu, refurbished the heritage buildings on site and helped establish the gardens.

Spaces are styled with florals, gingham and striped umbrellas, alongside park benches, picnic tables, oversized cushions, and Parisian-inspired cafe seats. The Commons offers outdoor seating only, but indoor options will be introduced as restrictions ease.

There are also plans to eventually host cabaret events in Ormond Hall. “There’s so many artists who work for us who don’t have their normal work, so we think that’s going to be a really good platform to re-engage those people in this environment,” Keebaugh says.

Having observed the success of COVID-19-safe outdoor dining internationally this year, Keebaugh is optimistic.

“I’m hoping that it’s not only the summer that this becomes a very strong trend,” he says. “I’m hoping that we become a bit more European, and in the winter we snuggle up with our coats on and still embrace the outdoors. I think when people come down here, they’ll find it joyful. It will be a nice respite after a long eight months of lockdown.” ● THE COMMONS AT ORMOND COLLECTIVE \ 557 St Kilda Road, Melbourne ● @ormondcollective ● ormondcollective.net.au

he Grossi Florentino phone started ringing as soon as Daniel Andrews made the announcement restaurants would reopen for dining in. Carlo Grossi answered.

Would it be possible, asked the voice on the other end, to immediately book all available seats?

“His grandfather proposed to his grandmother at Florentino, his dad proposed to his mum at Florentino, and he wanted to propose to his girlfriend at Florentino in front of his closest friends and family,” Grossi says.

With limited seats and density restrictions in Melbourne restaurants, there are more postponed celebrations than there are bookings available.

Lunch at 3pm or dinner at 5pm is no longer out of the question; Melburnians are jumping to land a seat wherever they can.

Around the corner from Grossi Florentino, Jason Lui has erected walls to separate Flower Drum into dining spaces. The more covers he can accommodate, the more staff he can hire back.

“I’m really happy to be able to re-employ some of the overseas students who have been stuck here and are not on JobKeeper,” Lui, the general manager, says. “It’s so good to hear laughing and clinking of glasses. It’s good to see the tables set again.”

As people return to the city and shopping hubs reopen, Melbourne will get its groove back. Lui is even happy to be stuck in traffic again during delivery service, but warns hospitality is not out of the woods just yet.

“No one’s invincible, especially after a long break.

The real test will be after JobKeeper finishes, so if you want your favourite place to still be around, go out and support them. Have a meal there,” he says.

Although 40-plus-year-old icons such as Flower Drum are back in action, other operators are opening for the first time in the city, eager to reinvigorate what headlines have dubbed a “ghost town”. The City of Melbourne has given chef Shane Delia permission to shut down Bond Street outside Maha to open brand-new Layla, whose outdoor marquee can fit as many as restrictions allow.

After a long lockdown, the buzz from Victoria’s reawakened cafes, bars and restaurants fills the city and regional hubs with promise.

“Think Middle Eastern Mediterranean,” Delia says. “Fun, sun-kissed summers, meze brunches on weekends, live music from Arabic performers on weekends and a summery outdoor, late-night vibe where people stay until they get cold.”

Nearby Crown Melbourne has launched outdoor dining precinct Petanque Social. While Delia has the Middle Eastern vibes covered, Crown’s activation is reminiscent of Europe’s St Tropez or Capri, with outdoor bars and dining, and day beds.

There’s a full-service bar, food from surrounding restaurants like Nobu and Bistro Guillaume, live bands, DJs and a screen for sports lovers.

Sandra Foti is opening three new Piccolina Gelateria stores before the year is out: one on Swan Street in Richmond and two in the city on Degraves Street and Hardware Lane. It’s a massive turnaround considering she thought they were going to have to permanently close the St Kilda store.

“People ask if I’m scared opening in the city, but I’m really not. I’ve accepted that it’s going to be tough,” she says. “There have been recessions before.

There have been disasters before. People need to ... remind themselves that this isn’t forever.”

Foti had already signed the leases on Degraves Street and Swan Street when her dream spot on Hardware Lane came up. She contacted the agent and got a call shortly after: it’s yours if you want it.

It was lockdown 1.0. People told her she was crazy to open another shop at all, let alone in the city. In the middle of it all, her father passed away.

“A few weeks before Dad died I would go and have conversations with him and say, ‘What am I doing?

Am I really going to screw things up?’” Foti says.

“Dad said to me, ‘When everyone else is scared, that’s when you need to be brave’.”

Foti’s father lost everything in the early 1980s recession, selling his coin collection to start over and put his three girls through private school. He learnt how to make gelato, telling his family if everything went bad again, he’d open up a gelateria, because “gelato is recession-proof.”

In 2020, his daughter proved him right.

“Our job now is to play a part in breathing that lifeblood back into the city again,” Foti says.

In South Melbourne, St Ali’s Salvatore Malatesta got the green light from the council to turn Yarra Place into a mod-Italian piazza, launching Italian Artisans in Residence in the evenings. Outdoor seating and blue Peroni umbrellas are spaced across geometric paving, with festoon lights and a sparkling city backdrop.

Tony Nicolini from DOC, pasta chef Andrea Vignali and EAT pasta are on food, while the winner of the World’s Best Bartender Award 2018, Orlando Marzo, has cocktails covered. As a partner of the Italian Film Festival, St Ali is also screening films on the building opposite.

“It feels a little bit like Piazza del Popolo in Rome, but with the city 600 metres away it’s also like being in Brooklyn looking back over the bridge at Manhattan,” Malatesta says.

Businesses on the Mornington Peninsula and in Yarra Valley are excited for the end of 25-kilometre travel restrictions. They have been starved of city visitors through lockdown. The culinary director of Pt Leo Estate, chef Phil Wood, is overjoyed to be serving dine-in customers again. “The thing I love most about restaurants is we are part of the social fabric of life,” he says. “I’m sure people can’t wait to celebrate birthdays again with family or go on a date – all those little pieces that make up society.”

Other businesses have made the decision not to reopen until they can seat more customers. That’s how Anchovy in Richmond came to pop up at Sutton Grange Winery in Bendigo until November 22, offering contemporary Vietnamese lunches at weekends, complemented by wine tastings and bottles from the cellar door.

Chef-owner Thi Le says people were so excited about restrictions lifting that they booked Sutton Grange on the spot after being told Anchovy Richmond wouldn’t open just yet. Supporting restaurants in regional Victoria is an opportunity to inject capital back into areas that have had their toughest year on record. “Earlier in the year, these region were hit by bushfires and they’ve missed out on a lot of the city tourism,” Le says.

Diner habits formed during COVID-19-related restrictions could also help to reinvent the restaurant industry. Simple processes such as fees for late cancellations and strict time slots to allow for more sittings are invaluable to restaurants, but until now have rarely been accepted by diners.

“If you jump on a plane, you prepay for the ticket.

When you buy products online, you prepay, but not with food,” Le says.

“At Sutton Grange people have been open to the idea, which means we know how much we have to spend on produce and staff. It helps control cash flow and as a business owner, this is incredible.” ●

STEFAN POSTLE

T

he site of the former Collingwood Technical School on Johnston Street has played a major role in Melbourne’s innernorth over the past 160 years.

Originally a civic hub inclusive of a courthouse (1853), council chambers (1860) and the Collingwood Artisans’ School of Design (1871), this became host to Collingwood Technical School in 1912, then a TAFE campus from the 1980s until 2005.

After sitting empty for more than a decade, a section of the site was redeveloped for Circus Oz in 2013, but 2020 marks the most transformative iteration of these historic Collingwood buildings yet.

Wo r d s

Over the past four years, social enterprise Contemporary Arts Precincts Ltd (CAP) has been redeveloping the site into a lively arts hub to suit creative businesses and organisations.

Works have included adding lifts, staircases and shopfronts, redesigning major entrances, accessibility upgrades, and opening up the complex to the street and passers-by.

Previously called the “Collingwood Arts Precinct”, the redevelopment project is now complete and has been renamed Collingwood Yards.

Collingwood Yards is intended to give back to the entire community.

The 6500-square-metre site will eventually be populated by more than 50 tenants around a leafy public courtyard. CAP hopes the area will become an asset to a neighbourhood

A M E LIA BA R N E S

that is short on green, public space.

“Our plans for the site have always been about connecting it to the community and reorienting it around the central courtyard,” CAP chief executive Marcus Westbury says. “In a dense part of the city, it will become a place for the whole community to enjoy.”

Collingwood Yards reopened in late October after a COVID-19related pause. Traders include the design bookstore Bookshop by Uro, record store Licorice Pie, ceramicist Tantri Mustika, florist XX Flos and galleries West Space and Bus Projects. A coffee shop, rooftop bar and restaurant are planned for the near future.

“It will be a true creative hub and a vital part of the Collingwood community and Melbourne’s creative community,” Westbury says.

O N E S T U D L E Y PA R K .C O M . A U

“Our plan has always been to create a space and a tenant mix that is as diverse and as open as the Collingwood community.”

Collingwood Yards results from more than $15 million invested by philanthropic supporters, along with the state government (who gave CAP the site in trust for the Victorian public), and the Bank of Melbourne.

The precinct’s ongoing income will be derived from tenants’ rent.

For many tenants, the establishment of Collingwood Yards has been the lifeline required to keep their organisation afloat.

The precinct works as a whole to cross-subsidise reduced rents for not-for-profit and arts organisations, while ensuring commercial rents are sustainable for hospitality and retail operators.

Community and corporate

H AY D E N N A M L U – 0 4 0 1 5 7 7 6 2 7

partnerships with the Yarra Council and the Bank of Melbourne also offer additional spaces and programs at subsidised or sponsored rents.

After a particularly disastrous year, paired with the ongoing lack of affordable arts spaces, CAP says most not-for-profit businesses on site would have been forced to close if not for the new precinct.

Tenants benefit from being among similarly-minded community and arts organisations that generate a collegiate spirit and allow collaborations and conversations to come together daily. ● COLLINGWOOD YARDS \ Access via 35 Johnston Street and 30 Perry Street, Collingwood.

Interior designers tell how to find the ideal dining duet of table and chairs.

n the corporate world, the standing desk has popped off and almost rendered the stoic office chair superfluous, but in the dining world table and chair are never far apart.

Sure you might eat standing up when you’re pinching a few olives from the fridge or buttering your toast in the morning. But have you ever tried twirling spaghetti in a fork with one hand and balancing a wine in the other while standing up?

Probably not, and why would you when the comfort of the dinner table and chair are ready to serve?

However, finding the right dinner table and chair for your space requires a little more effort than sitting down to eat on them. There’s a particular interiors science to find the right dining duet, where you must consider form and function equally or risk chairs that never quite tuck neatly under the table.

The first thing Melbourne interior designer Sally

Caroline considers when selecting furniture for a dining area is its intended purpose and mood.

“I’ll always ask how casual or formal the client wants the space and who’ll be using it the most,” Caroline says. “Then, we’ll choose furniture that suits the brief but also has the flexibility to adapt depending on the dining occasion.”

For Caroline, there are two fundamental reasons we gather around the dinner table: everyday dining and the dinner party.

The former is your base dining table and chair set that you and your family will gather round, and a dinner party may require more people take a seat at the table.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a tiny apartment with limited space or a larger dining room, we always look for ways we can transform the dining space when we’re entertaining and add some extra chairs,” she says.

LI SA M A RI E C O RS O

Stackable stools or foldable chairs are good options when the guest list expands and are easy to store out of sight.

Table size in relation to the size of your dining area is next on the checklist. “You want to choose a table with an allowance for circulation space,” Sydney-based interior designer Sonja Kritzler says.

If you have a smaller footprint to play with, select tables and chairs with finer legs so the furniture doesn’t engulf the room.

As for the shape of the table itself? “If the space has lots of linear shapes within it, a circular table will automatically soften the area,” Kritzler says.

“But with circular tables, be mindful of size as the larger they are the harder it is to have conversations across the table.”

For Caroline, materiality of the dining table and the chairs depends on who is using them and how they’re used. “If it’s a family with kids, you definitely want something that’s durable and you can wipe down like timber or leather,” she says.

“And, if you’re looking for something for a formal setting, you’ll definitely want to consider choosing

chairs that offer more comfort to accommodate long chats at the dinner table.”

If mixing and matching the table with the chairs, Caroline suggests drawing the furniture to scale first and taking note of how the table’s legs and chairs’ legs are positioned.

“It’s so easy to make a mistake,” she says. “You might think you can fit your chairs around the table but then realise the table’s legs are in the way when you try and tuck in your chair.”

The same rule is applied when opting for dining chairs with arms and the height of the table.

Both designers advocate for play at the dinner table and encourage mixing chair styles.

“Think about mixing the elements of line, shape, scale and texture,” says Kritzler, who’s a fan of a custom banquette seat on one side of the table with chairs on the other.

Caroline says keeping one style element consistent is crucial to the mix-and-match approach. “You could have six armless chairs in the middle and two-armed styles at either end of the table as long as they are linked by the finish or material,” she says. ●

EDUCATION

More than a monetary boost A scholarship can be life-changing in many ways.

W

hen thinking about school scholarships, the focus can often be on the financial benefits they would bring to a family.

Taking away the monetary burden of private school fees can open up a family’s choice of education for their child.

But scholarships offer more than just financial relief – they can also nurture students by embracing their talents and helping them reach their full potential.

Scholarships can help students pursue their interests and strengths in a particular field such as music, sport or the arts, and do so within a supportive environment.

Most independent private schools and some Catholic schools offer students full-fee or partial-fee

scholarships which students can apply for, usually via a test and interview.

Scholarships are varied and can include academic, sport, arts and music (or a combination), as well as Indigenous scholarships. They are usually offered for entry into years 5, 7 and 9, although there are exceptions.

Ross Featherston, the headmaster of boys’ school Brighton Grammar, says “a scholarship can be lifechanging for a family of a deserving and talented student who may not otherwise be in the financial position to attend the school”.

“Our school offers outstanding facilities and opportunities for boys to develop their talents.

Whether these be in leadership programs, music, drama or sporting activities, the focus is on

SCHOLARSHIPS Academic and Music Scholarships will be offered in 2021 for boys entering the school in 2022. Applications and detailed information are available only online.

providing students with a range of activities to give and achieve their best within the context of a robust pastoral program.”

Brighton Grammar offers a range of scholarships including means-tested, academic, general excellence, instrumental/choir music and Indigenous.

“Scholarships enable opportunities to recognise high-achieving students and create pathways for boys who may not otherwise have been able to attend the school,” Featherston says.

Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School principal Dr Deborah Priest says “many schools operate scholarships from the point of view of trying to add cream to their academic profile”.

“For me, it is more about giving opportunities to girls who have talents that are just not going to be able to be nurtured in their current place of learning, or those students who would otherwise not be able to attend an independent school.

“That’s not a disrespectful comment about their current place of learning but they may, for example,

be in a co-educational setting and not had the benefit of the strong female role models that we have here or are wanting a more wellrounded education.”

Priest says it can also mean that by attending Ivanhoe, students get respite from the gender stereotyping experienced in society.

“And, it gives them an opportunity to really think clearly about the things they are passionate about, interested in, and then they get to explore them here.”

Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School offers a range of scholarships for current and external students, starting from year 5, including academic, music, general excellence and VCE. Recipient families do make a personal contribution to the school fees.

“To receive a scholarship here, they certainly have to meet our criteria,” Priest says.

“But, for me, I want them to blossom across a whole range of their passions when they are here, not just the area we identified when we awarded them the scholarship.” ●

ompetition for school scholarships in Melbourne is strong, but there are steps parents can take early to help their child to prepare.

“For every 1000 kids that get into schools on scholarships after testing, there are about 3000 kids getting tutoring to prepare,” Mohan Dhall, chief executive officer of the Australian Tutoring Association, says.

Scholarships are hotly contested and usually available for entry into years 5, 7 and 9.

Most independent schools and some Catholic schools offer scholarships for external and/or

current students. The majority of these are partial but there are many full-fee scholarships as well.

These can be academic or focus on specific areas such as music, the arts and sport, or be a combination, with applying students usually sitting an exam followed by an interview.

“A reasonable number of families do no tutoring and a very small proportion of those will do well,” Dhall says.

“About 5 per cent will have a mentor, usually a university student or a teacher. Other than that, every other student is going to go to a formal tutoring centre.”

Empowering young women = the Sacré Coeur way At Sacré Cœur we believe that a commitment to academic endeavour and a strong sense of self leads to student excellence.

Which is why we are pleased to offer our 2022 scholarships. We are looking for students who will build on our inclusive and diverse student community and are committed to living the Sacred Heart Values.

There is a variety of scholarships available and applications close 5 February 2021. Visit sac.vic.edu.au/scholarships today to find out more.

BE PREPARED EARLY Topscore Education director and former principal Colin Turner says “scholarship testing is held a lot earlier than parents realise”.

Topscore Education, which prepares students for testing, encourages parents to research the myriad scholarship programs and application processes early.

“For year 7 entry, testing is usually held at the beginning of year 6 or even the end of the year 5,” he says. “There is a significant time period between the testing and the actual entry, and that is quite important when you think about preparation.”

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHILD’S NEEDS It is important to understand who your child is and what their needs are. Would they be better suited to a co-ed school or a single-gender school?

Where is the school located? What are its strengths and specialties?

“If a child isn’t stressed about the idea of moving from where they are presently, it’s wise to have them have a look at a range of schools,” Dhall says.

“If a child isn’t stressed about the idea of moving from where they are presently, it’s wise to have them look at a range of schools.”

MOHAN DHALL, AUSTRALIAN TUTORING ASSOCIATION

Open days offer insights for prospective students and parents, which could help narrow preferences.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Sitting a few general practice papers can help students prepare for the requirements of a scholarship exam.

“Often, kids go into [an exam] with no idea of what they are about to do and they do the best they can, but sometimes it doesn’t show what they are really able to do effectively,” Turner says.

The exams are typically written by the Australian Council for Educational Research or another private provider, which can provide sample tests for parents to buy. Practice papers are also available from Dymocks.

MENTORING & TUTORING Dhall believes if a child is gifted and is already in an accelerated stream, they are unlikely to need extensive coaching ahead of a scholarship exam.

“For them, a one-to-one mentor would be useful,” he says. “A person who spends no more than an hour or an hour-and-a-half every two or three weeks with them, identifying different question types. Then they can practise a lot on their own.”

There are also formal tutoring colleges.

Dhall believes there is merit in starting tutoring or mentoring early in the year and then revisiting it in term four or over the summer holidays.

“The reason why you have a break is because everyone grows cognitively with exposure and then rest, and then re-exposure.” ●

Three little words that mean so much – “builder’s own home” – have particular significance at this address.

Trevor Fasham was renowned in the 1980s for his distinctive, Japanese-inspired architecture now sprinkled across Melbourne’s east. Airy, modest, with vaulted ceilings and timber sliders to leafy courtyards, Fasham houses were naturally energy efficient long before climate change hit the news.

And this is the house Fasham and his wife Christine designed for themselves. Built in 2012, the single-level house is a masterpiece of intelligent design. The floor plan is oriented north-east, with the central living area opening to a wide, north-facing deck with a barbecue kitchen.

Smart zoning separates two child-friendly front bedrooms (with their own bathroom) from the main suite and study at the rear, and every room has a view of the garden, a mixture of exotic and native vegetation in distinct sectors. Fasham classics – skylights, full-length windows, open fireplace – are complemented by details the couple had to have, such as the shadow lines around the wide, full-height door frames.

But the story is clutter: There is none. Just to peep into the neatly segmented cutlery drawers sparks a blast of joy that quickly turns to lust for this sleek, bespoke storage, which, from wardrobes to walk-in pantry, means as much to the feng shui as the floor plan and sunshine.

The two front double bedrooms (wardrobes) look smart in taupe carpet and share a white, three-part bathroom – basin, powder room and shower room.

FINAL WORD

The living zone is party perfect in porcelain tiles with a mesh-front fireplace at the far end. Spill the crowd onto

Close to Orrong Park and Our Lady of Lourdes primary school, this Edwardian is perfectly placed to nurture a family. Perfectly named, too – “Maroomba” is short for maroomba biggee, “good day” in the Stradbroke Island language. The single-level house stands behind a high wall and opens to a large courtyard garden with rollerdoor access. Original living and dining rooms (fireplaces) offer beautiful entertainment areas or a potential fourth bedroom. The main bedroom (fireplace, walk-in wardrobe, shower en suite) is complemented by two further bedrooms (wardrobes) and the fully tiled main bathroom. Serenity seekers will love the family and meals area, terracottatiled with french doors to the garden. There’s scope for a cosmetic update, but essentially Maroomba has every room in the right place. ● ALISON BARCLAY

Invergowrie is one of Melbourne’s grandest yet least-known Victorian mansions. Shrouded in shrubbery in a cul-desac, it’s about to benefit from a new local park as part of the Metro Tunnel works. The two-storey, polychrome-brick house was built in 1885 and restored in the 1970s by the current owners, who raised four children here. High, corniced ceilings, a wraparound balcony, flowery living and dining rooms and a modern family area opening to the junglelike garden come together in haute-bohemian splendour.

The front parlour and dining room, linked by towering bifolds to the study, make a magnificent zone for executive entertaining. The grey granite kitchen has Gaggenau appliances. The first floor has five double bedrooms, a tessellated-tiled bathroom and room to add an en suite.

There’s also a ground-floor shower room. ● ALISON BARCLAY Agent: RT Edgar, Warwick Anderson 0418 320 873 Price: $6.9 million Private sale DOM A IN REV IEW

Nestled north of the High Street bustle, this property is a resort unto itself in the glamorous Gatsby style. With a pool, spa, gym, tennis wall and outdoor chess board set in a Jack Merlo-designed garden, it’s rich in healthy diversions.

The 1921 house has original living room, library and study plus contemporary family and dining areas that open to a pergola and lawn. The marble kitchen is spectacular – four Miele ovens and a massive butler’s pantry will tease out the master chef in the slobbiest of cooks. Upstairs, three kidsized bedrooms share a retreat, a rumpus room and a twin bathroom. The main bedroom and its enormous en suite (free-standing bath) open to a private balcony. Two further bedrooms share a dual-entry bathroom. ● ALISON BARCLAY

The significant bluestone homestead was built by renowned architects Davidson and Henderson in 1871, and is in excellent condition. A substantial two storey addition in 1923 was followed by a further brick addition in the 1930’s. The property was acquired by the Ramsay family in 1899, and by the current owner in 1999, this is only the second time this property has been offered for sale in over 120 years. The extensive gardens were designed by William Guilfoyle of Melbourne’s Royal Botanic gardens in 1903 and remains the most intact of this famous landscape designer’s private commissions. Available in two lots or together, homestead, two cottages and extensive outbuildings with 252 acres and separate productive farm.
