KARLA GRANT

GIVING A VOICE TO FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE

As a young journalist, I had many –mostly white – women to look up to. I could see it, so I could be it. But it wasn’t the same for our cover star, Karla Grant. Growing up, the awardwinning journalist could not see herself represented in the media. As a First Nations woman, she had to forge a new path – one that other Indigenous journalists would one day follow. But it wasn’t easy. Even now, our most celebrated First Nations journalists suffer extreme racial abuse online and in the media. Grant speaks to us about her experience in news and the inspiring family members who set her on her way. ●

MY MELBOURNE These Gertrude Street identities share their inner-city go-to places.

Words JANE ROCCA

This loved-up couple who bring chemistry to their venues

Poodle Bar & Bistro and Rocco’s Bologna Discoteca on Gertrude Street, Fitzroy, also like to find time away from their usual grind at work. We chat to them about where they hang out, and discover some precious local haunts that hit the spot every time.

Bar

ABOVE BOARD

Emilio: We really love Above Board in Collingwood. It’s a tucked-away cocktail bar that requires you to walk through Beer Mash downstairs and up a back staircase in order to get to it. It only fits 15 people, so it can be tough to secure a spot, but it’s worth the wait.

Zoe: It reminds us of some of our favourite cocktail bars in Tokyo. It’s slick, dark, and the cocktails are served with finesse and precision. We are fond of their gin martinis. ● aboveboardbar.com

Best solo time

CINEMA NOVA & VINTAGE GUITAR STORES

Zoe: I love to go to Cinema Nova in Carlton and watch a movie by myself. As much as I would like to go to the movies with Emilio, it never really works. If we have a babysitter we’re not going to the cinema, we’re probably going out to dinner. If I’m feeling extra fancy, which is more often than not, I book the reclining seats in the back row and have a wine. I love coming out onto the hustle and bustle of Lygon Street.

Zoe Rubino

& Emilio Scalzo

Emilio: If I get some time to myself, I’ll often head to a vintage guitar store to browse. I’ve put together a collection over the years, but I’ll never have enough. And just when I think I’ve ticked the final box with a type of guitar, another box opens up. My go-to spots are the Music Swop Shop and Found Sound in Carlton.

Retail therapy

FILLY STABLE & QUEEN VICTORIA MARKET

Zoe: If I’m not getting my retailtherapy endorphins from an

Hidden restaurant ISHIZUKA

Emilio: Ishizuka is the best and closest kaiseki experience we have had outside of Japan and we have had some really special dinners there. We love that the menu changes with the seasons, so you will have a different experience each time.

Zoe: The dishes are always so refined and in tune with the season’s fresh produce, and both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage pairings are creative and perfectly considered.

Local pub

THE UNION CLUB HOTEL

Instagram-served ad while I’m feeding my daughter in the middle of the night, and I need a bricksand-mortar experience, I can’t go past Filly’s Stable in Albert Park. The labels they carry, the fit-out, the staff. Chef’s kiss.

Emilio: I can’t go past the Queen Vic Market. I generally end up there most Saturday mornings and plan the food I’m going to cook during the week. I find that if I don’t go to the market, I tend to forget my veggies, which is virtually impossible to do when walking past such vibrant and diverse fruit and veg.

● fillysstable.com.au

● qvm.com.au

Zoe: We’re very lucky that our favourite pub in Melbourne happens to be across the street from where we live. The Union Club Hotel is a bit of a hodgepodge of a place, in a good way, in terms of how it looks and feels. It’s an old-school Fitzroy pub that still feels connected to its roots and hasn’t strayed from what it’s good at.

Emilio: It’s one of the rare pubs where things still feel authentic, the pub serves the purpose a pub should, and doesn’t try to do much more. The food is decent, though the burger is great. Guinness on tap, a pool table, and the courtyard is a winner. If it isn’t too cold, sitting out the front on Gore Street with some friends is one of the best seats in town.

A leap in the dark

ANA ROS \ World-renowned Slovenian chef Ana Ros will headline the culinary schedule. You may know her from the Netflix documentary Chef’s Table – she’s the vivacious owner of Hisa Franko in Kobarid, near the Italian border.

She was named the world’s best female chef by The World’s 50 Best Restaurants academy in 2017, and brings her sustainable curiosity to Hobart. She will be cooking in a newly built 50-seat structure alongside Stephen Peak and Rodney Dunn from New Norfolk’s The Agrarian Kitchen. It’s a four-course Slovenian/Tassie-inspired treat you won’t get anywhere else.

BLACK FLAG \ The Los Angeles band that shaped hardcore in the mid-’70s have regrouped to unleash their grinding post-punk sound. Founding member and guitarist Greg Ginn, vocalist Mike Vallely, bassist Joseph Noval and drummer Isaias Gil perform a one-off exclusive to remind us why raw simplicity is still relevant in modern rock storytelling.

This is the only chance to embrace their anarchic spirit and primal energy, and see why the band that lured Henry Rollins on the road (he became their lead singer in 1981) is all it’s cracked up to be.

EVENT

Words JANE ROCCA

No other Australian city delivers a festival in the depths of winter quite like Hobart does. Though Melbourne has Rising Festival in June and Sydney chimes in with Vivid, there is something about Dark Mofo and the red hues of the festival’s famous crosses that bring out the beastly best in everyone.

Dark Mofo celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, and brings the best in music, art, exhibitions and culinary excellence to the waterfront over two weeks in June.

The festival allows punters to take in some exclusive one-off experiences they won’t see anywhere else. Here are some of the must-see happenings at this year’s festival.

NATTY WAVES \ A perfect way to segue from the Hobart waterfront to the waters of the River Derwent without getting wet is by taking a scenic three-hour cruise with DJ beats, feasting and toptier natural wines on offer.

The cruises run three times a day over the festival weekends and depart next to the ferry that takes you to Mona.

The food program is created by chef Jamie Yates, formerly of Sonny and Templo and known for her epic focaccia. She’ll be dishing up everything from that famous focaccia, lasagne and pasta to oysters.

TEXT OF LIGHT \ Best known as a co-founder and guitarist of Sonic Youth, Lee Ranaldo brings his experimental jet-set-and-no-trash to Dark Mofo with an Australian-exclusive performance.

This is an improvised live soundtrack to accompany Stan Brakhage’s 1974 experimental time-lapse film, performed with guitarist Alan Licht and saxophonist Ulrich Krieger.

A DIVINE COMEDY \ Austrian choreographer and performance artist Florentina Holzinger brings her interpretation of Dante’s The Divine Comedy to Dark Mofo in this exclusive show.

A Divine Comedy is a two-hour theatre-sport performance – think motocross, hypnosis, timber sports and body fluids all jammed together for a thrilling experience. ●

Esteemed journalist Karla Grant celebrates 20 years of Living Black on SBS.

The power of storytelling

Walkley Award-winning journalist Karla Grant is celebrating 20 years of presenting SBS’s Living Black, the country’s longestrunning Indigenous TV program. The show champions Black stories and investigates issues affecting First Nations people.

Grant has interviewed everybody from Olympic gold medallist Cathy Freeman to model Samantha Harris and the late musician Archie Roach. She’s also stepped in to do stories for Dateline and has hosted Insight on a few occasions.

Now that the show is in its 30th season, Grant says she’s a better listener and more confident when she sits down with her guests.

“There weren’t many Indigenous reporters on screen or writing for print when I was entering media, and I didn’t see anyone I could aspire to be like,” Grant says.

“It was tough trying to get my foot in the door, and it took a while, but once I was in, it was up to me to work hard and show what I could do and show that I was capable.”

Growing up in Adelaide, she watched female journalists like Jana Wendt, Tracy Grimshaw and Liz Hayes on television and aspired to be just like them.

Grant joined SBS in 1994 and became the first Aboriginal woman to host an Indigenous current affairs program on a TV network.

“To be the first to come through means I was able to create that pathway for other First Nations journalists to follow,” Grant says.

“We are infiltrating newsrooms now across the country from TV to the digital platform. We created a

cadetship at SBS for that very reason – because the pool of First Nations journalists when I started Living Black in 2002 was very small.

“I had the few who were around working with me, but had to find more and they didn’t exist.”

Grant’s former husband, journalist Stan Grant, made international headlines a little more than a week ago after stepping down as the host of the ABC’s Q&A, due to relentless racial abuse online.

Karla Grant and her daughter, NITV journalist Lowanna Grant (one of three children she shares with Stan), attended a rally with ABC staff in support of her ex-husband.

“He lectured me a lot but I treasure that time I had with him.”

Cadell was orphaned at the age of four and raised by a Chinese cook in outback Northern Territory.

He learned to ride at the age of five and became a champion rodeo buckjumper and horse trainer, and was good friends with R.M. Williams.

He found his way to London’s Pinewood Studios, where he was in the movie Robbery Under Arms with Australian Oscar-winning actor Peter Finch – he even met the late Queen Elizabeth II.

“He had a tough life as an orphan in the bush,” Grant says.

“My parents made the newspaper headlines: ‘White man marries native woman.’ It was so racist,” Grant says.

She has seen impact of the intergenerational trauma on both sides of her family.

“My dad’s mother was a Dutch Jew and came to Australia to get away from what was happening in Europe,” Grant says. “She was living underground with her children, and my Opa was constantly taken away by the Germans to camps to work. A lot of my family was taken to concentration camps.

“On one hand you had my Indigenous maternal grandparents

“It’s an accumulation of years and years of racism our people have had to face,” she said at the rally.

“Enough is enough and we have to take a stand.”

Grant says she began experiencing racism at school.

“I was the only Black kid at the school and often called an Abo and other awful names that impact you and cut you to the core,” she says.

“I wanted to sink in my chair, go underneath the desk and disappear. I copped it in high school too, but Mum insisted I was not allowed to leave school.”

Grant’s late maternal grandfather, Johnny Cadell, was also invested in her schooling, and in time it inspired her to become a journalist.

“He was always telling me I had to stick with my education,” she says.

“His parents died when he was a toddler and he became a movie star on our screens.”

“He achieved all these things and came from nothing. I thought if he can do these things then I can get up and achieve too.

“Mum’s sister, Greatha, was also pivotal in inspiring me as she worked in Canberra in equal opportunity and I saw the work she did and wanted to make a difference too.”

Grant was based in the capital for seven years and studied at Canberra University before moving to Sydney, where she has remained.

Her Indigenous mother Elizabeth – who now lives in a nursing home in Sydney – married her father, a Dutchman, in the 1960s.

It was a radical thing to do at the time.

not allowed to speak their language or practice their culture in the Northern Territory, and the paternal side who moved to the other side of the world in search of a better life and found it hard being away from family, and lost family too,” she says.

At the SBS television studio in Sydney, Grant’s three children sat in the audience for the filming of the first Living Black episode for 2023.

It was the first time they had been in there to see their mum record.

“I have juggled motherhood and raising my children, who are very supportive of me,” Grant says.

She is also chuffed to see her daughter cutting her teeth in the newsroom.

“It will be great to see her get into journalism. It’s hard for her not to follow in our footsteps.” ●

Undressed for success

Kathryn Eisman helps people find themselves through their clothes.

Words JANE

When entertainment reporter and author Kathryn Eisman was 10, she felt a sixth sense kick in on a family trip to Italy.

“Dad asked my brother and me to mind our suitcases,” Eisman says.

“A man came up and asked for directions. I remember being transfixed by his appearance. Dad came back and asked, ‘Where is our video camera?’

“I told him about the man whose face didn’t match his clothes. He had the [air] of a gentleman but a brutality in his eyes and face.”

The camera was located, and the thief apprehended. “That’s when I realised [I should] always trust my instinct,” she says.

Now Eisman is channelling her psych-profiling powers to help people find their true style in the TV series Undressed

She decodes people’s wardrobe choices, helping them to dress for their best selves.

The 41-year-old married mother of two relocated to Sydney after more than a decade New York and LA, and remembers arriving in New York with a suitcase full of colourful dresses.

But working in news prompted her to blend in with the masses, and she swapped her frocks for a militant style capsule of blazers, and a sea of black garments.

“I dressed more mature then than I do now. It was to protect myself in the world of news reporting,” she says.

On the day we chat, I’m wearing a camel vegan leather skirt by Bianca Spender, a Bella Freud slogan cashmere knit and a pair of Mara & Mine shoes with embossed gold skulls. I am curious about what Eisman will make of my wardrobe.

“You’re an interesting one,” she says. “You’re two different things at the same time. There is a part of you that is very rebellious and free spirited. There’s a wildness and untamed quality to you.”

So far, she’s pretty spot on, I think to myself.

“And there is a side to you that likes quality, where less is better and you love history and connections and what that means to you,” she adds.

First impressions count, and are formed in the first tenth of a second you meet someone, according to Eisman.

Undressed sees various individuals on her show go on a similar journey of working out what their clothes reveal about themselves.

Her narrative is all about empowering people to fine tune their message, to ask themselves “do the clothes reflect the person within?”

Eisman also has her own fashion sock brand High Heel Jungle and has published two books –

How to Tell a Woman by her Handbag and How to Tell a Man by his Shoes.

“I get 40 messages a day from people who watch Undressed and they tell me how empowered they feel after rethinking their wardrobe,” she says.

“I love that I get to mix fashion and psychology and give people tools to make changes and get results they want.” ●

CHEF’S SECRETS

Posh pub fare

British-born chef Ian Curley loves a pub. It flows in his veins, despite cheffing in Melbourne for more than 30 years at fine restaurants, including The Point in Albert Park (RIP) and across the European Group.

He’s currently behind Kirk’s Wine Bar, Kirk’s Pub and French Saloon, and is also chef-director at Ovolo Hotels. It comes as no surprise, then, that Amphlett House, a new venue attached to Ovolo Laneways at the top of Little Bourke Street, serves “elevated British classics”.

“Pubs in the UK tend to be smaller venues where everybody meets to catch up almost daily … here in Australia, they tend to be better designed and offer so much more,” Curley says. “They bridge the gap between bar and restaurant.”

Amphlett House sits on Amphlett Lane, named in tribute to the late Divinyls frontwoman Chrissy Amphlett. The interior takes cues from the rock band’s heyday, with ’80s-inspired rattan chairs, warm timber and olive-green leather banquettes.

“It’s just as much for office workers dropping by for a drink or a quick lunch as it is for people coming into town for a night out,” Curley says. “We have seen lots of restaurant staff from surrounding venues coming in and lots of corporates from the Paris End of town.”

It’s double British trouble at Amphlett House, with head chef Ben Green straight out of London. He’s reimagined classics such as scotch eggs, with his version made from harissa-spiced fish. They’re a solid choice alongside considered cocktails with native Australian ingredients; think finger lime in your daiquiri.

The location of Amphlett House makes it an ideal pre or posttheatre choice, perhaps up at the bar with a braised lamb shoulder shepherd’s pie and jug of gravy, or fish and hand-cut chips with yoghurt tartare, washed down with one of 10 craft beers on tap. A version of mushy peas will join the menu as soon as they’re seasonal.

Thursday is also a good day to visit. Take advantage of $5 pints during daily Happy Hour (4pm to 6pm), and ask for the off-menu schnitzel with slaw and a beer for $32. No matter your order, allow enough time before a show for freshly baked madeleines with chocolate sauce for dipping. ●

Six-hour braised lamb shoulder shepherd’s pie

SERVES 6

INGREDIENTS

600g lamb shoulder (or leftovers from Sunday roast)

4 large carrots, roughly chopped

4 celery sticks, roughly chopped

3 large onions, roughly chopped

5 sprigs thyme

1 large glass red wine

250ml vegetable stock

Mashed potato or leftover roast potatoes, crumbled (enough to cover ingredients)

Gravy granules

Salt & pepper to taste

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 125 degrees. Add half of the roughly chopped vegetables to an oven tray and cover with lamb shoulder. Add thyme, red wine, vegetable stock and salt and pepper.

2. Place greaseproof paper over the top, then tightly fitted tin foil. Cook in oven for six hours, until meat is tender. Remove meat and allow to cool, reserving stock for gravy.

3. While the lamb cools, roast the remaining vegetables at 180 degrees for 15 minutes, so they retain a slight crunch. Set aside.

4. Shred the lamb into a large oven-proof dish, or six individual pie dishes, dividing the vegetables between them.

5. Cover with a top layer of buttery mashed potato or crumbled leftover roast potatoes. Add a sprinkling of grated cheese if desired.

6. Place in the oven at 170 degrees for 35 minutes, or until the potato is golden and crispy.

7. To make the gravy, bring lamb stock to a boil and reduce to simmer. Whisk in gravy granules until you achieve a smooth gravy. Serve in a jug alongside the pie.

Ian Curley shares his fancy shepherd’s pie recipe from Amphlett House.

FEATURE HOUSE

CAULFIELD NORTH \ 22 MALAKOFF STREET

Let’s talk about street appeal. Some houses announce themselves loudly to the neighbourhood in a defiant, if often insecure, statement of arrival.

Others take a more muted approach, slinking away behind raised walls or landscaped greenery. This property takes a third approach: its c1890s tuckpointed facade is an unmistakable yet dignified presentation to its neighbourhood, a peaceful pocket of Caulfield North.

Inside there are four bedrooms, three bathrooms, plenty of period charm and a light-filled family zone.

The wide entrance hall, which features details such as timber floors, leadlight windows and a detailed ceiling, is accessible from the front porch.

Immediately to the left upon walking in, the front bedroom has an en suite, walk-in wardrobe and lovely views over the garden. Across the hallway, you’ll find the front study, which fosters an air of cosy academe thanks to built-in bookshelves and a gas fireplace.

Further down the hallway is a second bedroom, which has a built-in wardrobe, and the central bathroom. They’re both opposite the elegant formal lounge, which has a gas fireplace and opens onto the paved west side of the house. Walk past another bedroom and the formal dining room to the free-flowing living/dining and kitchen area. It’s all been designed to maximise light, and the living area features a gas fireplace at one end and a wine rack at the other.

The Hamptons-style kitchen has stone benches and a Falcon oven. The living area back here opens through blacksteel framed doors onto the rear landscaped garden, and there’s a large bluestone entertaining terrace and solarheated pool. There’s also secure off-street parking that can be accessed from the rear lane.

As for the first floor? It’s given over entirely to the main bedroom and its large walk-in wardrobe and en suite.  This taste of Victorian elegance can be found in a quiet suburban street, metres away from the notable local green landmark of Caulfield Park. Close proximity to Malvern railway station means the city and far-off destinations are never too far, and all the lifestyle highlights of Hawthorn Road can be found just at the end of the street. ● ANDERS FURZE property@domain.com.au

It is believed that Royal Navy Captain Thomas Henderson, who arrived on a ship called Iris, was responsible for this landmark estate, among the first built in Glen Iris around 1860. Three decades later, mathematician Sir Thomas Cherry took ownership of what is now known as Cherry Farm. A rare example of Gothic revival Victorian architecture, it spans three levels and is set on 1273 square metres of manicured gardens, including a pool. The home was extensively restored, renovated

and extended in 2015, with the result being a luxury dwelling combining the best of period grandeur (including multiple spacious living zones with high ceilings plus a spectacular wine cellar) with modern conveniences. City views, abundant northern light and privacy are all part of this historical, high-end package. ●
