GRAHAM JEPSON

Like you, I had an inordinate number of plans cancelled last year: trips interstate and overseas, family reunions and all sorts of other fun events. One main thing 2020 taught me was to be a little more relaxed, and to live in the moment. Our Olympians had even more reason to be frustrated with cancellations last year, having worked for four years with one ambition: to compete.

While we don’t yet know if Tokyo will go ahead this year, our cover star Morgan Mitchell is taking it all in her stride. It was a pleasure getting to know her in Peter Barrett’s story. ●

Not to be out Done

L

egendary Australian artist Ken Done still paints with plenty of child-like wonder at the age of 80 and sees no reason to alter what’s worked for the past 40 years.

Best known for capturing a cheery Australia in the 1980s, Done liked to paint a sun-kissed Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Great Barrier Reef and our flora and fauna in pastel-hued abundance.

This month Done joins First Nations artist Reko Rennie and Beci Orpin to judge The Design Files Art

Kids Award presented by Honan.

Aimed at those aged between five and 16, the award asks the next generation of artists what Australia means to them.

“Anytime you see children’s drawings, it tells you a great deal about their attitude to the world, their parents and their experience of living in Australia. They create the most enthusiastic drawings,” Done says. “It’s those early years when you make your mark with incredible freedom. It’s something I would

always desire to have and to think there’s something childlike in what I do every day.”

Done worked in advertising in Sydney, New York and London long before he became a full-time artist.

In the 1960s and 1970s, he was behind advertising campaigns for clients like Bacardi Rum – a commercial filmed underwater in the Caribbean was his idea.

His Campari ad won the Best Cinema Commercial Award at Cannes in 1969 – working with Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor before they became The Goodies. He also worked on The Beatles’ White Album campaign during his time in London.

Done became a full-time artist in 1980, aged 40, with his first solo exhibition. It was thanks to a phone conversation with racing car driver Peter Brock while Done was in Vanuatu in the late 1960s that inspired him to swap his executive career for one as an artist instead.

“Peter was passionate about racing, and that’s when I realised I don’t wake up wanting to do advertising. I took a flight to Sydney and quit the next day,” he says.

Done took the beige out of Australia and opened our eyes to colour – a compliment he plays down.

“The colour was always there. It’s there in every marigold, gerbera and poinsettia. People respond to colour ... I always loved it. I still do, and it’s the best way to communicate how you feel about something,” Done says.

His entrepreneurial skill was ahead of its time; moving into merchandise, clothing and homewares, he took his art to the masses in ways beyond the gallery space. From doona covers to T-shirts and mugs, you could barely turn a corner or enter a souvenir store without spotting a Ken Done.

“The ’80s were one of the most optimistic times in this country; we won the America’s Cup and had a lot of commercials extolling the virtues of Australia, we [had] the World Series Cricket, the Aussie movies doing well overseas – all of these

things combined made us feel very confident as Australia and our place in the world,” he says.

“The merchandise we did in Australia should always be thought of as design. We made duvet covers, bedspreads, board shorts. These design pieces reached a wide audience, and it was all thanks to the wide distribution. I worked with some well-known companies, and people were responding to it. It all had to do with timing.”

Age has not wearied him – in fact, Done says he’s painting his best work yet. His morning ritual includes

feeding the magpies and rainbow lorikeets before a quick stroll to his studio to see yesterday’s paintings in a new light. That’s followed by a beach walk and swim that keeps him in good health.

“Mornings are the most productive for me in the studio,” he says.

“What I do is selfish in a sense. I only paint what pleases me. At 80, I am a better painter than I was at 40.

People are very interested in finding and collecting those early works from that first exhibition, but it’s the later stuff that really reflects where I’m at.

“I hope I have another 10 to 15 years in me yet.” ● ● tdfkidsartawards.com

RACING for SUCCESS COVER STORY Despite a whole lot more

attention, Morgan Mitchell is taking Olympic preparation in her stride.

DOM A IN REV IEW

Wo r d s

D

espite everything, Morgan Mitchell is feeling calm. When the Tokyo Olympics were postponed last year, the 800-metre runner “got sad for about three days”, then put things in perspective, spent precious time with her family and refocused her goals.

Now, with the Olympics tantalisingly close but uncertainty still circling due to the pandemic, she is prepared for whatever happens. “It’s one of those things where you’ll just have to wait and see,” she says. “If they do go ahead, great, we’ll go with all guns blazing. If not, we’ll just have to go to plan B and have other goals for this year with the 800.”

Mitchell, who grew up in Werribee, became an Olympian at 21 when she represented Australia in the 400 metres and 4x400-metre relay at Rio in 2016. In 2019, she switched to the 800 metres and has rapidly improved – and is now more than a good chance to represent Australia in that event if Tokyo does go ahead as planned.

PE T E R BA R R E T T ●

JA M E S G E E R

“No two sessions are the same, so you do get a lot of variety,” she says. “Some days, they’ll focus just on strength, other days cardio, some days, it’s a full mix. And it’s the fact that you get to do it with other like-minded people, which I really enjoy.”

For Mitchell, training is a daily menu of running, boxing, gym and Pilates. About a month from a big race, she begins easing off (which for her means running six to eight kilometres in a day instead of 12) in order to rest her body and, hopefully, “slingshot” her way to a personal best.

The day of the race is a different affair. She likes to wake up, go out for coffee with her mates and have a huge breakfast. “Honestly, I’ll order everything on the menu,” she laughs. After some time sitting in the sun or playing basketball, she’ll eat lunch and then take a nap around 3pm. Then she’ll put on a movie – Kill Bill and Rush Hour are among her favourites – and get ready for the bus trip to the stadium while the film plays in the

“You can see people tanning, playing beach volleyball. I usually grab a coffee from Rock Paper Scissors and just get on my way, listening to music.

Honestly, I’m a very simple person. That makes me so happy; just a half-hour walk along the esplanade.”

Living in Port Melbourne is, in some ways, a return to her childhood. “I’ve always wanted to live there,” she says. “[My sisters and I] spent most of our time in Port Melbourne as kids because we went to school around the corner at Galilee [Regional Catholic Primary School].” Mitchell’s mum (and “ultimate hero”) Lois used to work nearby at a luxury car dealership, and, after school, the girls were trusted to walk there by themselves and help out cleaning cars until mum was finished work. As a single parent, Lois would also drive her three daughters across Victoria to various sporting commitments and encourage their interests. “She didn’t have a lot of resources to make it happen, but somehow, she just made it happen,” says Mitchell.

“At the end of the day, while the training is getting done when it’s scheduled, nothing else really matters.”

But her success hasn’t been limited to the track.

Now 26, chances are you already know her from The Game Changers, a 2019 Netflix documentary produced by James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger (among many other big Hollywood names) about athletes who eat strictly plant-based diets.

You’ll also find Mitchell’s face and name on social media endorsing a swag of top-name brands, including Tissot, Clinique, Maybelline, Ford Ranger and Jaggad, a Melbourne sportswear company about to release a dedicated line of clothing.

In March, she became the first Olympic athlete ambassador for F45 Training, an Australian fitness company that started in Sydney and now has more than 2000 studios in more than 60 countries.

Mitchell, who began going to the 45-minute video-presented fitness workouts with her sister, loves the system’s intensity and versatility.

background. “It’s very relaxed,” says Mitchell. “I get nervous [before the race], but I try to be in the moment because it’s like, what’s the point in being nervous when you’re not even at the track yet?”

Her ability to conjure calm is no accident, though.

A few years ago, Mitchell had to navigate some personal mental health challenges. She sought professional help from a mindfulness coach and was able to turn her situation around. Her advice for others battling mental health issues is to seek out a professional and stick with the program.

“I found that meditation and slowing down helps a lot. I meditate every single day. And just being in the moment has helped me a lot.”

When she’s not on the training track in Newport, you might find Mitchell at her favourite cafe, Au.79 Cafe in Abbotsford (“the best coffee and their food is incredible”) or walking along the beach on a sunny day in Port Melbourne, where she lives.

“I look up to her a lot. Honestly, [she’s] a 10-outof-10 woman.”

But despite her increasing public profile and being recognised from time to time on the street, Mitchell draws on advice from her mum (“be true to yourself”) as well as her manager and isn’t fazed by the extra attention.

“I think I’m just so relaxed, and I don’t really notice it anyway,” she says. “At the end of the day, while the training is getting done when it’s scheduled, nothing else really matters.

“If it does ramp up and things do get hectic, I’ll probably have to sit down and sort a few things out.

But for the time being, my life is very much normal.

It’s quite nice.” ●

en years ago baker Natalie Paull took a risk, signing the lease to a petite corner shop in North Melbourne. On her first day she made three cakes, 10 sandwiches and some star-shaped cocoa biscuits. Selling the treats were herself and a friend, sharing a pair of tongs between them.

“Being so risk-averse, I only bought one pair of tongs,” says Paull. “My friends filled the store and were buying cake, but then all of these other people

By the end of the first day it was obvious: Paull had to buy some more tongs.

That little cake shop on the corner today needs no introduction. It’s Beatrix, and this year marks its 10th birthday. Over the years, it has grown from a neighbourhood secret to one of Melbourne’s most beloved bakehouses.

On their open days, the daily cake and sandwich list is published on Instagram and shortly after lunch almost everything is sold. When Paull increases the production of cakes to keep up with demand, they continue to sell out. There seems to be no accurate formula to keep up with just how many loyal Beatrix fans are out there.

“There was a beautiful slow growth to the business, which I liked because nothing was ever

forced,” Paull says. “My business mantra has always been, we’re on a corner in North Melbourne and if you like what we do please come visit us because we really like what we do.”

There are now 15 in the Beatrix family, and the bakehouse has also grown to encompass an off-site commercial kitchen a short stroll up the road.

Paull says she made her first buttercake when she was seven, and knew then that this was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

As a child, she’d regularly bake from the Women’s Weekly cookbooks, including a favourite Violet Crumble cheesecake. Leaving school, she was quick to find footing in commercial kitchens, then cofounded a wholesale baking business, which she ran for five years before taking a break from cooking.

Two years passed, and “my husband and I knew I had to give it another shot and find a way to make food that makes me happy in the world”.

The demand for Beatrix cakes is insatiable.

It ended up being cake and community that made Paull happy. A slice of Beatrix cake becomes more than just that when her customers tell her it’s offered comfort in the ups and downs of life.

“I can’t believe what it means to people. It is wildly exhilarating to hear that a slice of cake can bring so much joy.” ●

WHAT CAN YOU DO THERE?

The Burnet Bushland Circuit is a hidden trail tucked away in Yarra Bend Park. It’s eerily beautiful, like walking into the setting for a classic Australian novel, where the eucalypts are thick and everywhere the drone of insects hangs in the air.

Situated on the river, on the lands of the Wurundjeri-balluk traditional owners, the birdsong-filled 850-metre loop is next to the Studley Park Boathouse – ideal for grabbing a bite to eat and a coffee – and a picnic area with barbecues, toilets, shelters and seating areas. Dogs are allowed on a leash and you can even hire a boat for a paddle on the Yarra – you’ll forget how close you are to the city.

It’s worth bringing a bird or insect guide along for the journey, as the trees and native grasses are teeming with life and ducks and geese paddle along the water’s surface. A popular cycling trail connects Yarra Boulevard to Boathouse Road.

WHO WILL YOU FIND THERE?

WHAT’S NEARBY?

HOW TO GET THERE

I wander into the picnic area and head straight to the information board, which tells me I should look out for rainbow lorikeets in the trees and redrumped parrots in the grass, and to listen for the sounds of the eastern pobblebonk frog and the call of the sulphur-crested cockatoo.

The Burnet Bushland Circuit provides important habitat for the park’s wildlife, and the diversity of eucalyptus species along its path is gorgeous to see.

An older woman walks ahead, hands behind her back, looking up and around, while a mountainbiker cycles along the path winding along the river.

I chat with two women, Susie and her daughter Gem, pushing a pram. They feel lucky to have the bushland park so nearby. “I’ve got a five-week old, so I have to try to think of places that are good to go to, that are easy to visit for a family,” says Gem. Susie adds: “It’s really beautiful, we’ve really enjoyed it and have commented on how beautifully maintained it is.”

Head over to the boathouse and book a row boat, canoe or kayak for up to five people. It’s thrilling to see the landscape from the water. Just across Kanes Bridge – spectacularly suspended over the Yarra – there is the Loop Picnic Area and Playground. It’s a lovely spot to take the kids after your walk.

It’s also worth following the trail to Dights Falls, a rapid and weir where sandstone meets 800,000-year-old volcanic rock. It’s a 20-minute walk over Kanes Bridge from the Studley Park picnic area and you can bring the dog – on a leash.

onstruction has started on an ultra-luxe series of seven residences designed by acclaimed design practice Carr to complement one of Hawthorn’s best streets.

As one of Melbourne’s most affluent suburbs, Hawthorn already enjoys the privileges of high-end design. However, Co-Lab Residential director Daniel Cashen says The Berkeley is further raising the bar on quality and design in Hawthorn.

“Contemporary residences of this size, quality and design are normally limited to South Yarra or Toorak.”

The Berkeley’s timeless facade is styled to settle seamlessly in its stately surrounds, elegantly blending contemporary and classical design with gardens by renowned landscaper Jack Merlo.

Two stately wings extend from a central foyer with a floating upper-level set back from the street.

Natural honed limestone is used extensively inside and out as part of a palette of enduring materials.

Six half-floor residences each have a triple aspect, while the ground floor residences feature oversized landscaped gardens. ● LIZ McLACHLAN
