One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about the gradual reopening of the state and the country has been getting back to the airport. Strange, I know, but I love flying and getting to a new place. The excitement of being at the airport and counting down until I land (even just locally) still remains. Someone whose airport attendance would far surpass mine is this week’s cover star, Weekend Today’s Rebecca Maddern. As she tells Effie Mann in our story, she can sometimes do four domestic flights in a weekend between her Today show gig and seeing her beloved Cats play. Talk about commitment. ●

pastries must get a mention, too. “I’m trying to keep the bread as natural as I can,” Malone says. “I’ve got a grain-to-table approach, and I do everything by hand.” Ever so slightly obsessed with bread, he opened the Flour House in 2019. The pandemic put the business on the map locally, he says. The Flour House 3 Graham Rd, Highett

Melburnians are lining up for top-notch bread at local artisan bakeries that champion a fresh approach.

hile the smell of fresh bread sliding out of the oven is both comforting and evocative, the process of creating it takes skill and perseverance. Baking bread is a serious business, and it’s no surprise bakers are often evangelical about their methods. As many of us discovered during last year’s lockdowns, kneading, mixing and getting dough to rise is no easy task. While we experimented at home, our respect increased for the people who run the artisan bakeries in our neighbourhoods. Here are three exciting bakeries that emerged as local heroes.

THE FLOUR HOUSE \ WATCH THE ACTION

Hiding in the back streets of Highett is this gem of a bakery, possibly the only one in Melbourne that mills its own flour. Owner Damian Malone is passionate about local ingredients and sources grains from Victorian farms, including Sharkey’s, near Bacchus Marsh. He and his team bake seven to 10 different breads daily. The weekly list includes a house-milled biodynamic spelt sourdough, a sprouted wheat and sunflower, and a sourdough made with Two Brothers apple cider. Of course, his mouth-watering

● theflourhouse.com.au TO BE FRANK \ ALL ABOUT RESPECT

When Franco Villalva opened To Be Frank bakery in a Collingwood back street, he was initially overwhelmed by the challenge. Using his second language in a new country, the Argentinian-born baker relied on word of mouth to draw in his customers. But it didn’t take long for locals to discover his long-fermentation, naturally leavened breads made from organic or sustainable ingredients. Not only is the bread full of flavour, but it’s easier to digest, too, he says. A former pastry chef, Villalva is a passionate supporter of the ‘respectus panis’ (respect bread) movement, popular in France, where bread is made using a tiny amount of yeast, less salt, quality flours and long fermentation at room temperature. Villalva explains the 18-hour process breaks down the gluten and makes bread that is easy to digest. “The respectus panis bread is healthier than sourdough,” he says. “It’s a very soft bread; it’s not chewy.” The bakery produces 12-15 different breads each day, some using the respectus panis method and some sourdough. He mostly uses

From a hole-in-the-wall shop in Elsternwick, Baker Bleu won over the locals with its distinctive dark-crusted, caramel-tinged sourdough loaves. “People walking past could smell bread baking, and we built a business off that,” says Mike Russell, who opened the bakery with his wife Mia in 2016. Word spread about the amazing taste, and soon, top restaurants such as Attica, Cutler & Co and Di Stasio were queuing up, too. Last year, just before the pandemic started, Baker Bleu moved to larger premises in Caulfield North with a new oven and lots of space for their bread’s 48-hour fermentation process using wild yeast. Russell says: “We wanted to retain the magic of baking bread on site.” Originally from Sydney, Russell learnt his trade at top places such as Baker D Chirico, Bourke Street Bakery and Iggy’s (Sydney). Baking bread here is a three-day process, and ancient grains such as spelt, Khorasan wheat and buckwheat are sometimes used. Always keen to share tips, Russell recently did a live-streamed Instagram cooking class with chef Shane Delia of Providoor. Baker Bleu 119-121 Hawthorn Rd, Caulfield North

in Sydney, but she remains staunchly Victorian at heart.

Wo r d s

Rebecca Maddern at her holiday home on the Surf Coast.

ebecca Maddern should probably live in Sydney. The TV journalist flies to the harbour city every Friday for her co-hosting role alongside Richard Wilkins on Channel Nine’s Weekend Today, and recently wrapped up filming for Australian Ninja Warrior up there too. Still, for the TV veteran and hardcore AFL fan, it’s a move she’s always resisted. “To be honest, I’ve probably shot myself in the foot on a few occasions in years gone by, by not moving to Sydney,” she says with a loud laugh. “Throughout my career, there’s always been an opening there and at times I have considered it, but Melbourne has always had my heart.” Growing up in Geelong, Maddern moved to Melbourne at 18 and has called it home ever since. That, she says, proved a godsend during a “difficult” 2020. “I think it’s really important to have a Melbourne representative in one of the biggest TV markets, and that was particularly evident through last year in and out of lockdowns,” the 43-yearold says. “I think that gave [Weekend Today] a huge advantage. “The majority of people on air in similar roles are based in Sydney … I felt I had a real responsibility to broadcast to Australia what Melburnians were feeling.” Being home all the time was a struggle for the usually frantically paced Maddern, who works away from home for three weeks straight when Australian Ninja Warrior is filming. The show, modelled on a Japanese format, involves competitors navigating a high-stakes obstacle course, and often sees Maddern filming with co-hosts Shane Crawford, Ben Fordham and Nick Kyrgios through the night. Earlier this year, she was tied up for weeks anchoring Nine’s coverage of the Australian Open tennis. “It’s a sacrifice but I have always loved work and I couldn’t imagine not working,” she says of the work-life STYLING \ Kate Hastilow

juggle. “I just put my head down and get on with the job, and look forward to getting home.” Home mattered more than ever in 2020 for Maddern, as it did for most Melburnians coming to grips with the COVID-19 restrictions: she threw herself into expanding her cooking repertoire – and her waistline, she quips. Maddern also began to run. With a limited social life and access to extended family curtailed, inaccessible childcare and – ugh! – no playgrounds, 2020 instilled in her an appreciation for life’s “little joys”. “I’m certainly not going to forget the lessons of 2020,” she says. “I have a new appreciation for all the little things in life that bring me joy, and I want to really savour that.” Speaking from her holiday house near Aireys Inlet – where she spends her downtime with husband Trent Miller and their three-year-old daughter Ruby, and where Maddern feels most at home – she says one such joy is family time at the beach. Having spent the holidays of her youth further down the coast at Lorne, Maddern says she is enjoying reliving the same experiences with her daughter. With a national park stretching behind and 180-degree ocean views out the front, the house is the kind of retreat that allows her to “just take it easy and breathe”. “People often say, ‘Don’t you get bored?’ and I say, ‘No, quite the opposite; there’s always something to do,’” she says of the getaway’s natural surrounds. “Ruby thinks having kangaroos in your backyard is quite the norm, which is lovely.” Maddern likes to run along the local bush tracks, while Miller can be found out in one of the coastline’s many famous surf breaks, perhaps even catching a wave with Geelong Cats football star and coastal near-neighbour and friend Patrick Dangerfield. In winter, the big open fire is roaring, and the footy is always on,

and this is when Rebecca Maddern says she is at her happiest. “My number one thing that I love to do is AFL footy,” she says, recalling how she and her sportsobsessed girlfriends would play netball at Geelong’s Kardinia Park on Saturday mornings, go home to shower, then return to watch the footy match. A love of AFL runs in the family: her great-grandfather, Harry “Nipper” Marsham, captained Geelong more than a century ago and her stepdad served on the board. Maddern, herself, has been the Cats’ No. 1 ticket holder for a decade. It’s a role the diehard fan takes extremely seriously, and she has vowed never to reveal her favourite player or, rather, players. When pushed, however, Maddern says if she had to iron a number onto Ruby’s little guernsey, it would be hard to go past “Danger’s” 35. Working every weekend, however, isn’t particularly conducive to following the great Aussie game, Maddern concedes, and she is a fan of Thursday night football. For big games, she will f ly back to Melbourne after hosting Saturday’s Weekend Today, then back to Sydney for her 4am wake-up call for Sunday’s show. “Yep, I’m that crazy!” We wrap up our call. Maddern is out of time and airport-bound – again. While she’s away, renovations on the family’s Victorian terrace house in Melbourne, which began in March, will continue. “We plan on being there for the next 20 years as we love the location so much,” she says. Further proof, if it was needed, that Rebecca Maddern doesn’t intend heading north any time soon. ● AUSTRALIAN NINJA WARRIOR \ Sunday 7pm, Monday and Tuesday 7.30pm, Nine WEEKEND TODAY \ Saturday and Sunday 7am, Nine

MUSIC

The magic of Michael M

Australian singer

Michael and I circled each other for years when I was in I’m Talking. I was 23 when MG properly landed in my world. Mum was manager, which was rare at the time to have women in music management. After recording [an] album, he said, “It’s great, but you need another hit.” That’s when I wrote Pash. He loved it; told me it was genius. It is a quirky piece of pop art at its best. The main thing was I had his ear, and that was powerful. I started my career busking in Bourke Street Mall. There is never any promise one could make a life from music; it’s a pie in the sky ambition. Michael was the kind of guy who, out of a sea of people, sees you and knows you’ve got something. I know there are many talented people who don’t get an opportunity to give it a crack, but when you have his attention on you, it seems all those people who are in doubt suddenly say, ‘oh yes, I see it now’.

LINDA BOSIDIS

Mushroom Music Publishing, managing director

I can’t remember the first time I met Michael – he just appeared and was larger than life. I first came to work with him in 1996 when interviewed for the A&R position at Mushroom Music Publishing. I had known him while I was working at APRA. He always said ‘you’ll work for me one day’ – and you realise a lot of what he says actually comes true. I’ve been at Mushroom for 25 years now, and it’s an equal balance of men and women running the show. Michael built an incredibly unique space for women in the music industry. What Michael loved about women was their gutsy style. Some were loud, some quiet achievers, but he liked the out-on-a-limb, gutsy, rebellious style. He instilled in me to believe in what you love and have a go, get it done, just do it. He used to call me ‘platinum ears’. I always thought it was pretty funny; I never took it seriously. Mushroom afforded flexibility to mothers, including myself, to enable us to return to work and continue with our careers. We were able to work from home, drop off and pick up from school … I was the most successful in my A&R career after becoming a mother.

Australian promoter Michael Gudinski was pioneering when it came to equality as well as music. Wo r d s

job – he didn’t care about anything else. He just wanted the job done and the best person doing it. He was inspiring, loud, engaging and incredibly creative, and the world is a poorer place without him.

Chief marketing & communications officer

It was a rare day in the past 18 years that I didn’t speak with Michael or get a text from him. I’ve sat in a pool in Bali, on a mountain top in NZ, and on a beach in Queensland and spoken to Michael. Every time I went on holiday, he would say to me, ‘now I might have to call you … ’ and he did. For Michael, work wasn’t work; it was a passion. Michael offered me the role of Frontier’s national publicist in 2003. In 2007, we created Mushroom Promotions, which looked after PR for Frontier and all of Michael’s record labels. Michael had females in senior positions within Mushroom from the beginning. He really did hire people on their merits and ability to do the

ADALITA LISA BUSINOVSKI

ichael Gudinski was more than a giant of the Australian music industry: he championed women long before movements demanded blokes in power do just that. At Mushroom Records and Frontier Touring, he put women in charge from A&R roles to label managers, PR and marketing departments and signed many of them, too – from Kylie Minogue to Kate Ceberano. Four of the late music promoter’s friends share memories of the man they knew.

Rock musician & founding member of Magic Dirt I met Michael in the ’90s when he wanted to sign my band Magic Dirt. I remember noticing a lot of women in … senior positions in the office, and I thought that was cool. I was from the grunge era of DIY indie, and major labels were something we were suspicious of, but Michael made us feel like family. I always felt a loving vibe at the label … He would turn up to my shows and always made you feel like you were the most special person in the room. ●

FEATURE HOUSE SOUTH YARRA \ 1 COMO AVENUE 5

When South Yarra’s Armytage family – of the famous Como House – sold the southern half of their estate, they had a way of ensuring their new neighbours would be genteel. Houses built along the new Como Avenue had to cost at least 1000 pounds, they said. That was a mighty sum in 1911 and it certainly kept the plebs out. It also inspired this sprawling beauty at the Toorak Road end. Built in 1912, the solid-brick house is a colourful, Bloomsbury-flavoured family home, set in a garden that’s unusually large for this crowded suburb. Multiple french doors lead to a wealth of flowers, with a rear, brick-paved courtyard and side and front lawns in which to take the sun. The owners are artists, and in 2001 they asked architect Alan Powell to enhance the property’s character. Powell added an art studio to the new open plan, and the family lived happily ever after. The single-level house has up to five bedrooms, though as the owners’ children have grown they’ve converted three to lounges and a library. There are grand adjoining living and dining rooms, the latter with a north-facing deck. The modern kitchen, meals area and art room open to a decked verandah above the courtyard. A high, well-leafed brick wall guards the front lawn, garage and off-street parking. Off the Baltic pine central hall is the main bedroom, with its own sitting area and a walk-in wardrobe. The en suite is brilliant in malachite-green tiles and has twin basins, a walkin shower and a bidet. Across the hall, the library (in vivid orange) has an art
