What a privilege it is to work with such big-hearted, caring and communityminded team members

Y

ou might have noticed some colour clashing at Jetstar recently.

Last month team members right across our network – in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Japan – supported breast cancer awareness month by wearing pink pins and wings on their uniforms.

In doing so, they raised thousands of dollars for breast cancer foundations in the region, and importantly, raised awareness among so many more of our customers.

This month, you might encounter a bit more facial hair around our network, as teams get behind Movember, the global movement to raise awareness for men’s health issues.

I’m so proud that our team members are always looking for ways to support the more vulnerable people in their communities.

In Australia our teams work hard every day to raise funds for StarKids, our partnership with World Vision, helping children in the countries we fly to.

And in Japan, our team recently hosted airport tours for children from the Kumamoto prefecture that had been affected by earthquakes.

What a privilege it is to work with such big-hearted, caring and community-minded team members.

We hope you enjoy your flight,

Jayne Hrdlicka Jetstar Group CEO

Something new

AROUND EVERY CORNER Lose yourself in Adelaide’s network of laneways that wind their way from the busy eateries in Chinatown to the pubs and clubs of the West End. Down well-worn steps, and between old stone facades, the chatter of gin bars and cocktail lounges blends in with jazz bands and dub-step.

With something new around every corner you’ll never know what you’ll trip over. And as the sun sets and your stomach rumbles you’ll find the best food trucks parked next to fine dining while tapas is served nearly as late as the all night takeout joints.

Thanks for choosing to fly with us today – it’s great to have you on board.

If your family is anything like mine, I’m sure you’re excitedly planning where you’ll be spending the upcoming festive season.

This year we’re proud to be flying even more holidaymakers around Australia and New Zealand to see family and friends with our everyday low fares.

With the launch of our regional network in New Zealand, we’ve connected major cities with beautiful destinations such as Nelson, Napier, New Plymouth and Palmerston North. Before these affordable regional flights took off, many local Kiwis had never flown before.

Meanwhile, back in Australia, we’ve just launched the only direct flights available between Adelaide and the Sunshine Coast, giving families even more opportunities to discover new destinations.

You can explore New Zealand’s North Island as our destination of the month from page 68 with stories about Auckland, Coromandel Peninsula and the famous geothermal pools of Rotorua.

We’re also taking you to the Gold Coast with our shopping feature on page 87, and Fremantle with our food feature on page 98.

Enjoy your flight today – and see you again soon.

Australian musical legend Archie Roach needs very little introduction.

Since his iconic album Charcoal Lane was released in 1990, Archie’s storytelling and rich, melodic timbre has made him one of Australia’s most respected artists and a powerful voice for Indigenous Australia. We spoke to Archie ahead of the release of his new album Let Love Rule, a work devoted to the theme of love and all that it means.

It’s been four years since you last recorded an album. How did it feel to get back into the studio?

It’s always good to be back in the studio. I’ve never been in a hurry to do an album. It’s all about when the inspiration strikes.

Tell us a little about the album.

It’s full of songs about hope.

Hope for the future and love of the land. We live in a beautiful country and it’s important to appreciate it. To see the beauty and keep it for future generations.

The video for your single It’s not too late features stunning aerial landscape imagery. Where was it filmed?

It was filmed around south-west Victoria at Killarney Beach near Port Fairy and at Tower Hill, near the part of Victoria where

You’ve toured a lot of Australia. Where are some of your favourite places?

I just love this country. It’s so beautiful. You don’t have to go overseas to see extraordinary places. It’s the landscapes, the people, the culture, the Australian way of life. But if I had to name a favourite, it would be Broome. It’s really laid-back, just a great town.

This month you head out on tour as a special guest of Rodriguez. Do you have any tour rituals that help you feel at home on the road?

I do like good places to eat. A good meal always makes me feel comfortable. I’m in Sydney Road (Melbourne) right now and I love the food here. There are great places everywhere.

Archie Roach’s new album Let Love Rule is out on 11 November through Liberation Music. Archie Roach will perform with Rodriguez in Brisbane, Sydney and Pokolbin, Adelaide, Hobart and Melbourne. archieroach.com.au

arlier this year, Western Australian surfing legend Taj Burrows hung up his board after 19 years on the pro world tour. Fittingly, he announced his retirement at the annual Margaret River Pro in Prevelly, just down the road from the breaks he surfed as a kid at Yallingup on the state’s south west coast. Despite having crossed the world many times since bursting onto the scene as a young rookie in 1998, the new

14-15_EXPERIENCE_MY PLACE.indd 14

dad and his little family have decided to make Yallingup their home, on the coastline Taj still loves. “The ocean takes up a big part of my day,” Taj says. “I love the south west because there’s such a great stretch of coast so it’s easy to find somewhere good to surf depending on the different conditions.” With some of Australia’s best beaches on his doorstep, along with the legendary Margaret River wine region, Taj shares his regular haunts on the south west coast.

CAPE TO CAPE TRACK

61 Thornton Road, Yallingup aravinaestate.com We’re so spoilt for choice of good cuisine down here, being surrounded by some of the best wineries in the world. One of my favourites is Aravina Estate.

We always take our visiting friends there for lunch; great food, incredible wine and an outdoor deck seating with a view of the vines and dam. The owner has a thing for vintage cars and has a showroom attached to the winery. That’s always fun to check out.

Between the lighthouses at Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin capetocapetrack.com.au The Cape to Cape is a famous hiking trail down here that begins at Cape Naturaliste and goes all the way down to Cape Leeuwin. It’s a serious hike and although I’ve never done the whole thing you can do little sections of it with the best views of our rugged coastline.

EMPIRE RETREAT AND SPA

Harmans Mill Road, Wilyabrup hayshedhill.com.au Hayshed hill has always been one of our favourite wineries and they recently rebranded and opened their restaurant, called Rustico.

It’s a tapas-style restaurant, and they also have cocktails, beer and spirits on the menu so you’re not just subjected to wine (although the wine is really good too). I love their Sangria! It’s ideal for a big group lunch.

1958 Caves Road, Yallingup empireretreat.com One of the best massages I have ever had in my life is from a local place called Empire.

It’s a boutique hotel, but they also have a spa. If there’s ever a special occasion coming up an Empire voucher is always a sure way to get me in the good books with my girl, and it’s always our recommendation if anyone asks where they should stay.

English speakers can be quite lucky when they travel, but making the effort to learn how to say hello in the local language breaks the ice, shows respect and gives you a stronger connection to the people and culture. Even if you haven’t quite nailed the pronunciation, it never hurts to give it your best shot.

SUMMERTIME WINES CELEBRATE THE WARMER WEATHER WITH THESE HOT TRENDS IN WINE WORDS SARAH GAMBONI

THREE TO TRY

Fun and funky sparklings Nothing says festive like the pop of a Champagne cork, but these days we’re just as likely to flip open a crown seal on our favourite bubbly. In recent years, prosecco has come to the party, offering a light, not-too-serious take on sparkling wine.

Australia’s prosecco pioneers, Dal Zotto, aim to shake things up this season. “We love prosecco because it’s fresh, crisp and approachable,” says Christian Dal Zotto.

“This summer, we’re encouraging people to ‘Pimp Your Prosecco’ with a prosecco cocktail. My favourite is a Prosecco Negroni, substituting prosecco for the gin. And as the weather warms up, it’s the Prosecco Spritz all the way baby!”

Our love affair with rosé shows no signs of abating...

Rosé is here to stay Our love affair with rosé shows no signs of abating.

It’s the country’s fastestgrowing style, according to Wine Australia, with 4 million litres consumed a year. Gone are the sweet, lolly-pink rosés. Instead, seek out pale, dry wines, such as those by De Bortoli.

“We were in Provence when the weather was warm, enjoying these beautiful, pale, dry rosés, and we thought, ‘gosh, that’s what we should be drinking in Australia’,” says Leanne De Bortoli. The winery now produces five savoury, bone-dry rosés.

“It’s very versatile with

food and, at around $20 a bottle, it’s a serious wine that doesn’t take itself too seriously,” says Leanne.

For a fun riff on rosé, find a bar pouring frosé (frozen rosé). Like an adults-only slushie, this icy concoction is being served at Mr Miyagi and Stokehouse in Melbourne and Manly Wine Bar and Pelicano in Sydney.

The ‘new’ red If you’re a committed red drinker no matter the weather, or looking for a wine for your next barbecue, try a Hunter Valley shiraz-pinot blend.

While it’s not new to the region (Maurice O’Shea first dabbled with it in the 1920s), young Hunter winemakers such as Usher Tinkler Wines and Silkman Wines have revitalised the style.

“It has the power of

cai bowls?

Coconut water? Kale?

Quinoa?

You’re living in the past. It’s all about poké (pronounced pohkay), a Japanese-inspired Hawaiian raw fish dish that has health nuts (and everyone else) talking.

Poké essentially means to slice or cut crosswise and refers to diced pieces of raw fish. The fish – traditionally ahi (yellowfish) tuna – needs to be extremely fresh, and paired with the right

22-23_EXPERIENCE_FOOD ICON.indd 22

dressing in this delicate equation.

This classic pupu (snack) has been eaten in Hawaii for centuries.

It started off as a simple meal composed of reef fish scraps, but has developed into a snack Hawaiians enjoy anywhere and anytime.

Although traditionally Hawaiian, Japanese influence played a key role in poké’s evolution.

When the Japanese immigrated to Hawaii they added shoyu soy sauce, other marinades

This classic pupu (snack) has been eaten in Hawaii for centuries and sauces were introduced and people began experimenting with different fish, octopus, crab, squid, abalone and even tofu.

“Originally, poké was limited to just the few ingredients readily available in Hawaii, but it has continued to evolve

based on increased access to more ingredients,” says Matthew Gray, head honcho at Hawaii Food Tours. “Nowadays, you’ll see ingredients like wasabi-dusted sesame seeds, mayo, hot sauce, watermelon chunks and many other additions that have helped bring poké into the 21st century.”

'Poké bowls' are a relatively new concept.

“We were the first to launch the concept in 2008,” explains cofounder of Pā´ina Café, Blaine Kimura. “We noted

Back in Sydney I start noticing poké on menus.

Kobe Jones has been serving poké-style dishes since 2003, and recently other eateries – including Henrys in Cronulla and Manly's Showbox Coffee Brewers – have added the tantalising dish to menus.

Simon Blacher, director at Melbourne’s Tokyo Tina, decided to start serving poké bowls in November last year after he noticed the dish had an almost cult-like following in Los Angeles

and New York City.

“We were looking for a dish that wasn’t necessarily sushi, but that was based on seafood and rice,” he explains.

“Aussies jump around new and healthy ideas, the climate and market is perfect, and it’s a great go-to lunchtime meal.”

Candice Wu and Sam Constantinou (the couple married in Hawaii, which is where they first discovered poké) opened Australia’s first pokédedicated restaurant, simply called Poke, in beachside Sydney suburb Coogee last April. “We fell in love with poké in Hawaii and were surprised at how difficult it was to find here, so we started serving poké to friends, then selling poké at farmers’ markets, and finally we opened our own store,” Candice says.

Poké bowls are packed with choices of lean protein, healthy fats, vegetables and healthy carbs (Candice and Sam

replaced white rice with organic black rice). The concept was a hit, with health-conscious foodies lining up from the word go.

Melbourne wasn’t far behind, with university students Thomas Hu, Justin Huang and Sam Kothari opening Pokéd on Little Lonsdale in July. “Poké is on trend,” Justin says. “It’s healthy and tasty… it’s what Australians want.”

SUNRISE Start in spectacular fashion by making the most of Napier’s east coast location – it’s one of the first countries in the world to see the dawn. A brisk constitutional up Bluff Hill comes in the form of the 4.4km Bluff Hill Walk or the even brisker 5.3km Ramps & Steps Walk. These will both get you up to the lookout – high enough for vertiginous sunrise views of the fascinating port on one side, and the massive curve of black beach on the other.

24-27_EXPERIENCE_CITY GUIDE_HAWKES BAY.indd 25

MORNING

BREAKFAST The bustling, airy dining room at Mister D in Napier offers healthy options such as the smashed avocado and feta on sourdough with housemade dukkah, or the slightly less healthsome but altogether toothsome corned-beef hash cakes. However, the stars of the show are the house-specialty doughnuts, alongside a variety of evil concoctions with which to inject them. Go with the cognac custard – you’re on holiday. misterd.co.nz

Brought undone by a massive earthquake, then rebuilt in the Art Deco-style of the 1930s, the beachside beauty of Napier draws thousands of visitors to marvel at her time-capsule glory and to play dress-ups in Tennyson Street’s retro boutiques. See if you can grab an early check-in at the iconic, eminently stylish, Art Deco Masonic Hotel right across from the waterfront, complete with velvety armchairs and oh-socomfy beds.

AFTERNOON 26

Hawke’s Bay is a huge region – so much more than just its beautiful coastline. A drive down Highway 2, otherwise known as the ‘NZ Classic Wine Trail’, opens up the Central Hawke’s Bay area through steep, sheep-dotted hills and lush river valleys. Waipawa, 60km south of Napier, offers unmissable artistic bohemia in Artmosphere Gallery and traditional, but truly interesting, history at the Settlers’ Museum.

Get thoroughly spoiled at high tea further along at the stately Oruawharo Homestead, with its seemingly endless list of teas. artmosphere-gallery.com chbsettlersmuseum.co.nz oruawharo.com

The hottest meal, figuratively speaking, back in Napier may well be among the blond timber and polished concrete of Bistronomy. The compact kitchen turns out a steady stream of mod-cuisine broths, foams, gels and meringues that combine in the most unusual and wonderful ways. Even the side-dish carrots come with baked yoghurt and delicious peanut tofu. You’ll be craning your neck to check out every dish that passes by. bistronomy.co.nz

where the skin is likely to absorb the tanning lotion.

Wait a few minutes then apply your tan. Stand in front of a mirror to ensure you don’t miss any areas.

STEP 3: Wait until your application is completely dry before you get dressed

to ensure your tan won’t transfer onto your clothes.

Hint: Never have your tanning done the same day as your brow tinting.

The tan can absorb the new colour in your brows and turn them orange.

The ultimate beach babe and founder of tanning and skin line, The Base, reveals her top tips tanning tips.

Best tanning advice?

Contrast is key, so blend well. An all-over naturallooking color can be rendered ridiculous by white streaks or spots.

How do you keep your tan looking great?

Moisturise daily. Keeping your skin in good condition will help when it comes to hitting the (fake tan) bottle.

Biggest tanning disaster?

Do you remember that episode of Friends where Ross gets the awful spray tan? Yup, that was me once. It was all too real, and it highlights exactly why a spray-tan technician should perform a spray-tan application.

THE PERFECT FAKE TAN should look like your skin, just better, browner and more goddess-like. There should not be a touch of tandoori, anywhere.

Whether you decide to DIY or have a professional spray, there are rules to follow.

Paler skins should opt for lighter shades and formulas, such as gradual tanners, mousse formulas or gels. Those with olive undertones can safely choose a darker hue and perhaps a creamier formula, depending on the result desired.

Very dark complexions, blessed with a skin tone that will rarely turn orange, have carte blanche to use whatever hue or formula they like.

Get yourself a great tanning mitt. It makes for streak-free application and delivers seamless results. From there, follow this advice: STEP 1: Give your skin a good exfoliation to ensure you get an even tan. Use a dry body brush before showering and then get to work with a body scrub while you’re in the shower.

STEP 2: Dry your skin thoroughly and then lightly moisturise (with an unscented body lotion) ankles, elbows and knees,

30-31_EXPERIENCE_SUITS YOU.indd 30

Three tips for buying and wearing T-shirts: 1. Don’t tuck them in.

Unless you’re at a Star Trek convention or raising capital in Silicon Valley, T-shirts should remain untucked, with the hem falling slightly below the hip.

This summer, back and pocket prints are in and slogans may be making a comeback, too to wear if you’re pushing 40 (particularly if your midriff is starting to stick out further than your chest) – but not impossible.

This summer, back and pocket prints are in and

slogans may be making a comeback, too. But with so many T-shirts on offer, how does the average man ensure he has the right look? Eddie says the answer is simple: “It just has to feel like you.”

2. Choose 100 per cent cotton tees for comfort and wear them neither too loose (unflattering) or too tight (vain/just plain weird). Crew necks give a timeless look and V-necks can lengthen the look for shorter-statured men.

3. For chic graphic T-shirts try independent designers such as Perks And Mini (perksandmini.com), T-shirt stores including Graniph (graniph.com. au) or make your own at dastshirtautomat.com in Melbourne or tshirthub. com.au in Sydney.

EDDIE ZAMMIT recently pulled off the unthinkable. The mad T-shirt collector (7500 and counting) and founder of international T-shirt journal T-world (t-world.com.au) had been invited to a friend’s wedding. “They thought I would wear a shirt but I wore a black T-shirt. I said, ‘Look, I haven’t got graphics on it – it’s the best you’re going to get’,” he says.

Originally worn as an undergarment by US sailors to conceal chest hair more than a century ago, T-shirts have evolved into a dizzying symbol of individual self-expression. There are plain tees, classic tees, V-neck, crewneck, graphic design, screen-printed, digitally printed, slogan tees, skater tees, political tees, superhero tees, ironic tees – the list is endless.

At their heart though, T-shirts ooze youthful rebellion. Since actors James Dean and Marlon Brando wore them in the ’50s they have been associated with protest movements, rock music, skater culture and rave music. That can make them tricky

WHEN LYNDA HALLINAN needs a break from life as a celebrity gardener, TV host and NZ Gardener editor-at-large, she takes off for her quirky bach.

Lynda saw the potential of the rundown beach shack from the outset. “Most people assumed we were intending to demolish it,” she says. “But I took one look and just knew I could make it special again.”

The playful mid-century feel was a natural choice.

“I love that retro look: it’s cheerful and casual and in keeping with the provenance of the bach,” she says. Lynda scoured op shops and websites, adding a few family relics.

“If a burglar broke in, they wouldn’t know what to steal because the furniture only has sentimental value,” she jokes.

Ironically, Lynda wasn’t previously a fan of yellow.

“I thought I’d bust all my prejudices at once with a custard-and-mustard themed holiday home.”

For anyone nervous using colour, Lynda suggests wallpaper and paint; “the two cheapest ways to inject personality into a house, and also the two easiest things to change if you get it wrong.” With a bold palette and a little fun, Lynda has created a retreat full of personality.

Are Your Hormones Making You Fat? Imagine waking up every morning to the sound of your alarm, excited and happy to be starting a new day. When you look in the mirror you admire your body. Everyone tells you how great you’re looking and asks what your secret is. Sound too good to be true? If you, like many other women, don’t feel this way, you may have a hormonal imbalance. Research has documented that over 40 per cent of women have an undiagnosed underactive thyroid gland. If you feel tired all the time, crave sugar, use alcohol and coffee to lift yourself, retain weight around your middle and feel the cold, you could be suffering from this problem.

What Does Your Thyroid Do, and What Does This Mean For You? The thyroid gland is the major player in controlling how many calories you burn. It produces hormones that control the body’s metabolism. If your thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism) it’s almost impossible to lose that spare tyre around your middle, no matter how many carbs you cut out or how many hours you spend on the treadmill.

Blood Testing Current blood testing methods don’t tell the whole story. Blood tests (TSH) can only measure how much thyroid hormone you have in your blood – they can’t measure how well your hormones are working. So, if you do have a thyroid problem, it may not always be picked up.

New Way of Testing American thyroid specialists, Dr. Konrad Kail and Dr. Daryl Turner have developed a quick and non-invasive medical thyroid screening test, that’s been used by US doctors for the past seven years to accurately diagnose thyroid issues. The good news is, once your thyroid function is accurately diagnosed, the medication and nutrients you need to get your thyroid balanced can be established.

With a balanced thyroid your energy will increase, you will lose weight easily, and you’ll feel happier in yourself. Your health is your greatest asset, so, if you suspect that your thyroid isn’t quite right, don’t put off getting tested, you deserve to feel fantastic every day.

BOUNCE INTO FITNESS Who thought a couple of bounces on a trampoline could turn into a successful Aussie business and put the fun back into exercise?

36

“THE OPPOSITE of a gruelling ordeal,” they said. Baloney. I’ve just finished BounceFit, the exercise class offered at Bounce trampoline parks and my grey singlet is ringed with sweat.

It’s not what I expected from browsing the website (though, I may have overlooked the part that said “high-intensity, lowimpact cardio workout”).

Bounce was started by Simon McNamara and Antony Morell (of Grill’d and Spudbar fame) in Melbourne in 2012. Four years on, Bounce has seven Australian locations and there are plans to open in Hong Kong, South Africa, Portugal, the UAE and Sweden.

BounceFit is one of a bunch of classes and programs (there are more than 100 interconnected trampolines and other apparatus including a flying fox and cargo net).

While it’s probably one of the most accessible, it’s by no means easy.

Our class begins with a warm-up dodgeball game.

Easy enough in theory, but I soon find out it is surprisingly difficult to dodge a flying ball while trying to remember how to jump on a trampoline.

Just like riding a bike, right? Well, kind of. But it takes me a while to get

into the knee and bum drops, and as for the back drops my classmates are pulling off with panache?

Well, let’s just say it takes me a little longer.

Afterwards, we do what dreadlocked, hulking instructor Patrick calls a ‘planking pyramid’.

No, we’re not perched on top of one another, cheerleader style, but holding a plank for 30 seconds, then 45, then a minute, then another 45, then 30, with 15 seconds of jumping between sets.

Next we perform ‘suicides’ in pairs, with one person running to the end of a series of progressively distant trampolines while the other does push-ups and

burpees. By the end of the second run everyone is too knackered for burpees.

Patrick is apologetic, but not that much – he ends with more “easy” planking. One woman of questionable sanity even agrees to a final 90-second plank, earning glares from the rest of the class.

According to NASA, 10 minutes of trampolining is a better workout than a 33-minute run, as my sweat patches testify.

But as challenging as I found BounceFit, I also found it highly enjoyable – a combination of endorphins and childlike nostalgia – and can’t wait to come back with friends, the kind that will object to that second plank.

I

’ve been a traveller since the day I was born. My family drove overland from London to Colombo when I was four, and at 15 years old I walked into my first job, recognising it would allow me to save up to travel for four weeks each year.

As soon as I finished my apprenticeship, I moved overseas – the travel bug has always been in me and it’s always had a positive

38-39_EXPERIENCE_RECIPE.indd 38

impact. I’ve spent a lot of time in Fiji, Samoa and Mexico and have a natural affinity with the ocean.

It has a calming effect on me, and that’s one of the reasons we moved to the Sunshine Coast three years ago.

I’ve been blown away by the people here, who are so passionate about food, produce and saving the planet. We’re lucky here in Noosa to have

The result is very much like me: a little bit of flavour from around the world the coast and hinterland within five minutes of town. While I was filming Coastal Kitchen, I went on this incredible journey of discovery in my own backyard. I visited macadamia farms, bushfood gardens, a buffalomilk cheesemaker, and

a camel-milk producer, along with some amazing biodynamic producers.

We caught crabs in Tin Can Bay, a beautiful eco-reserve and everglade that produces crabs with a unique flavour, thanks to the tannins in the water.

back in the 1990s after a trip to Singapore. I was a bit disappointed with the Singapore chilli crab – not that it wasn’t nice, but it wasn’t what I expected. On returning home, I went into my kitchen and reached for ingredients available in my pantry, writing down the measurements as I went along. The result is very much like me: a little bit of flavour

from around the world. I blended it and just put it into a pot with a cleaned mud crab. The result blew every one away and the recipe has never changed.

Enjoy the beautiful flavours and don’t restrict yourself to crab – try prawns, chicken, tofu or vegetables. It’s healthy, tasty and rich.

Peter Kuruvita’s Coastal Kitchen premieres on SBS on 10 November at 8.30pm.

Peter Kuruvita’s Chilli Crab

• 1 Tin Can Bay mud crab*, about 1 kg, chopped • Coriander leaves

PREPARATION TIME: 30 minutes COOKING TIME: 20 minutes SERVES: 2

Ginger chilli shallot sauce

METHOD: To make the sauce, place all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Place the crab pieces in a large, heavybased saucepan and pour the sauce on top. Cover and cook over high heat until the sauce comes to the boil. When the sauce reaches the boil, cook for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes, keeping the pan covered. To see if the crab is cooked, remove the lid and look for the tell-tale white droplets of protein being squeezed out of the shell, especially the claws.

Scatter with coriander and serve immediately with crab crackers, crab forks and finger bowls of warm water with lemon.

NOTE: To ensure you get a full mud crab, choose a live, heavy crab.

I find the ones with brown bellies are always full. Please ensure they are killed humanely, and the best way to do that is to

INGREDIENTS 39

• 2-3 long red chillies, coarsely chopped • 2cm knob ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped • ½ bunch coriander, including roots, rinsed • 250ml light soy sauce • 250ml mirin • 125ml white wine • 75ml sesame oil • 190ml sweet chilli sauce • 2-3 garlic cloves • 4 spring onions, coarsely chopped

place them in the freezer for 30 minutes and then dissect them. To do this, remove the head and clean the gills and guts – without washing them in water, simply shake them out. Cut the body of the crab into six pieces, three from each half, and gently crack all the claws. *If you can’t find Tin Can Bay mud crabs, just use the freshest mud crabs you can find.

3:43 PM

t’s cool and perceptibly quiet when I arrive at The Siam, a palatial art deco-themed hotel in Bangkok’s uptown Dusit District. Water is tinkling somewhere in the distance and the scent of lemon verbena is in the air.

The Siam is co-owned by a Thai family known as the ‘musical hoteliers’. The matriarch, Kamala, is a grande dame of jazz, while her daughter, Marisa, is a recording artist, UNICEF ambassador and author.

This 39-room boutique hotel is clearly in good hands as it sits on the Chao Praya riverbank and watches over the capital.

Rare oriental art and antiquities from the family’s extensive private

40-43_EXPERIENCE_SPA.indd 41

collection are splashed about the luxe suites and private pool villas, and guests are treated to a personal butler service.

I’m here to experience The Siam’s opulent Opium Spa. Even the path there is calming – I pass more of the family’s art, lovely open, green courtyards and a stunning atrium of towering palms with a soaring dome inspired by Paris’ Musee D’Orsay.

This is the only hotel spa in Bangkok to offer sak yant (or sak yan), a traditional tattoo made famous by Angelina Jolie.

Ancient geometric designs – Buddhist prayers called yants – hand-etched onto the skin, endow powers of protection and fortune.

I pass lovely open, green courtyards and a stunning atrium of towering palms The hotel gym is unique too, known for its Muay Thai boxing ring and oneon-one sessions with a master Muay Thai Trainer.

One of the royal princesses trains here daily.

But today is not about sak yant or Muay Thai. In the striking waiting room, I sip herbal tea ahead of my first treatment.

The 60-minute Aroma Journey Massage, using luxury Australian skincare range Sodashi, combines aromatherapy scents and smooth rhythmic strokes to increase balance and lymphatic circulation (to aid the removal of toxins from the body). First, I must choose from three oils – ‘fitness’ (de-stress), ‘serenity’ (calming) or ‘purity’ (detox) – to complement the three aromatherapy blends I’ll smell at each stage.

the table, the first scent – mandarin, vanilla and jasmine – fills the air as my therapist Mint presses hot towels onto my body before gently massaging in the ‘serenity’ blend of frankincense and almond oil (to soothe the mind and skin). I find myself nearly nodding off before it’s time to turn over. Now comes the scent of cypress and grapefruit, followed by hot towels and oil. To finish there is the final aromatherapy blast of bergamot, sweet orange and ylang ylang, and a sinus massage.

Between treatments I’m given a quick tour. The sak yant room is adorned with golden Buddhas, flowers and Ramayama masks, and the old-world hair and nail salon comes complete with antique leather barber chairs. It would be easy to spend the day in the hammam (Turkish bathhouse), an ornate

The therapist bends, twists and stretches my limbs into yoga-like positions space encircled in white columns with saunas, steam showers and jacuzzis, but I have to get back for more pampering.

Devised to unravel and relax monks’ knotted muscles from hours spent in one pose, my final treatment, a traditional Thai massage, is unlike most others. For one, there’s no disposable underwear or oil in sight, instead I’m given loosefitting cotton pants and a top. The therapist (who usually sits on your back) bends, twists and stretches my limbs into yoga-like positions, checking in to

make sure no move is too hard or soft. It would help if I were more flexible.

There are many assisted moves – knees are gently pressed into my lower back and my arms are stretched over my head to arch and stretch my back.

The treatment finishes with acupressure manipulation on my back, limbs, feet and hands to balance, realign and activate circulation.

Although it’s definitely the most ‘active’ massage I’ve ever experienced, I leave feeling energised and reinvigorated. I swap pounding the pavement for a ride on The Siam’s complimentary shuttle – a gorgeous teak barge – which transports me down river to the nearest station at a leisurely pace.

YOU Meet three entrepreneurs making it in the beauty industry WORDS CATHERINE BEST

54

öe Foster Blake didn’t need to dabble in skincare. She is a bestselling author, renowned beauty editor and blogger, and married to one of Australia’s favourite media personalities. But after a decade writing about the whole gamut of beauty products, Zöe spied an opportunity and ran with it.

“I guess you get to a point in your career where you’re like, ‘I’m making a lot of money for other people from my recommendations and I think there are gaps in this market and know that women are confused about skincare, and I’m passionate about it’.”

That passion led to the 2014 launch of Go-To, a cruelty-free, all-natural skincare range comprising seven core products Zöe likes to refer to as skincare “scaffolding”. The brand – sold exclusively online and backed by three equity partners, with about a dozen staff – has struck a chord with consumers.

It helps when you know your market and have an established profile

in the industry, not to mention a legion of loyal followers (over 400,000 on Instagram and 55,000 on Twitter). Add to that celebrity endorsements, cute branding and marketing infused with Zoe’s trademark wit, and Go-To is going gangbusters.

“I’m such a believer in that customer experience where, from start to finish, whether they see us on social media or go straight to the website, it’s all fun, it’s all delightful … it’s a real moment,” Zöe says. gotoskincare.com

54-55_EXPERIENCE_WORK AND PLAY.indd 54

Zöe spied an opportunity and ran with it Claiming the crown Seizing the moment is what inspired Evette Hess’ metamorphosis from beautician to cosmetics queen. In 2013, the co-founder of PONi Cosmetics was grappling with motherhood and a fly-in-fly-out working husband when she decided something had to give. The Gold Coast mum made the decision to act

on a business idea for an eyebrow kit that had been ruminating for years.

The couple took a $100,000 gamble, investing their house deposit in the business. “I had a sixmonth-old, I was working, so we just wanted to create a life where he (my husband) didn’t have to do that (travel) anymore.”

In the first month, Evette and business partner Sandy Ronalds sold 20 eyebrow pencils. Today they sell 2000 a month and turns over between $2 million and $3 million a year. The range has

expanded from the initial brow kit to encompass 13 niche products, stocked in more than 400 salons nationwide. Evette has just signed a New Zealand distributor, and has plans to expand into the US. PONi found its niche giving time-pressed women the tools to create salon-standard brows at home. “They need something that’s quick and easy, and I think we’ve sort of hit the mark there where we are catering for the everyday woman,” Evette says. ponicosmetics.com.au

Saving face Iridis Cosmetics cofounder Peta-Gai McLaughlin is on a personal crusade to change how women feel about their appearance and wants to take over the world “one lipstick at a time”.

“Our ethos is if you look good, you feel good, you do good in the world,” Peta-Gai says.

The Melbourne-based entrepreneur and makeup artist to the stars heads up Iridis, a boutique cosmetics brand that runs “glamtorials” teaching

women how to put their best face forward.

Peta-Gai’s love affair with make-up began before she was old enough to spell the words mascara noir. The former superannuation lawyer paid her way through university working at The Body Shop, where she learnt make-up artistry, before burying herself in her career.

Her passion for lipstick and lashes never faded, but it wasn’t until a colleague – down on her appearance and striving to make partner

– pressed her for advice that Peta-Gai learnt the transformative power of make-up.

She took the colleague shopping for cosmetics and spent two hours teaching her how to use them. Her pupil became partner.

“That was the gestation of the Iridis idea at that point … I was thinking there’s a bloody business idea in this, women have no idea what they’re doing with make-up.”

Iridis was born in 2011.

Since then, Peta-Gai has recruited 10 makeup artists in two states and made up countless celebrities, including Australia’s Got Talent judges Eddie Perfect and Ian (Dicko) Dickson, singer Christine Anu, model Hayley Hasselhoff, opera star Roberto Alagna and former Miss Universe Australia Olivia Wells.

With about 300 products, and annual sales growth of more than 200 per cent, Iridis is making a pretty penny. iridis.com.au

or close to 150 years, the Adelaide Central Market has been a hub for the city’s residents. The iconic red brick building with its elegant arches and red and white striped awning is filled with the hustle and bustle of traders spruiking their wares and shoppers vying for bargains, searching for new season produce and local delicacies, and friends and families catching up for coffee and cake in its many tiny cafés and food stalls.

For a photographer with an eye for action and movement, the market is a location full of possibility. So when Tony Lewis was commissioned to capture the market for an exhibition as part of Tasting Australia in 2015, he was immediately fascinated by the scenes of daily life.

“I developed a liking for its atmosphere. I like how it feels real – it’s a centre of commerce, with fresh produce at its heart.”

58-67_EXPLORE_ADELAIDE MARKET.indd 66

Returning to the market for Jetstar last month, Tony was keen to capture the rich life of the market and the interaction between seller and buyer.

“When I first started freelancing I did lots of sport, so I love an action shot. On Saturdays the market is open from early in the morning until 3pm.

About 2pm it gets frantic as stallholders try to get rid of their produce and shoppers look to score a bargain.”

Taking photographs in such an environment is not without its challenges.

“It can be difficult to take pictures. The

aisles between the stalls are narrow and people unintentionally end up photo-bombing my photos,” he laughs.

After two commissions focusing on the market, Tony is now a familiar face to many of the stallholders. And he’s found a few favourites of his own.

You might find him having a coffee at Lucia’s or a spicy Laksa at Asian Gourmet.

The Adelaide Central Market is at 44-60 Gouger Street, Adelaide. Open Tuesday to Thursday 8am-5.30pm, Friday 7am-9pm, Saturday 7am-3pm. adelaidecentralmarket.com.au

About the photographer Tony Lewis started his career in photography as a cadet at Adelaide’s The News in the late ’70s and worked in newspapers in his home city and in Sydney and London until 2000, when he began freelancing, focusing on news and sport. With years of experience in photojournalism, he used his eye for capturing the moment of action in this photo essay to great effect. tonylewis.com.au

The rugby revolution The 2011 Rugby World Cup was, like the two America Cups in the previous decade, a turning point for Auckland.

It triggered a rapid reimagining of the city that’s retained the momentum five

68-75_EXPLORE_AUCKLAND.indd 70

Auckland, with a population of 1.4 million, has been labelled the world’s fourth mostdiverse city

years on. It was as if we had guests to stay and realised how tired the curtains were looking and instead of redecorating, we remodelled.

In the time it took star rugby player Dan Carter to tie his bootlaces, Auckland was full of new glossy bars, restaurants, shops and cafés. In areas such as Britomart you can now find international fashion brands including Jo Malone, Ted Baker and Chanel beside premium local designers such as Huffer and Karen Walker, all in a pedestrian-friendly district peppered with communal strawberry patches and sculptures. Come dusk, world-class eateries such as Javier Carmona’s contemporary Middle Eastern restaurant Beirut and Monocle magazine’s global top 50 restaurant Ortolana come into their own; so do views of the harbour from the terraces of Josh Emmett’s Ostro and the Seafarers private members’ club.

During the same period as Britomart’s expansion, the waterfront gained two new concrete playgrounds.

In the summer months, Silo Park and North Wharf were lent a beating heart by weekly, free outdoor cinema sessions (Silo Cinema), live music and food trucks. Up the road, a former central city bus terminal has morphed into City Works Depot – a hub of offices, hospitality and leisure – and the new parkside Auckland Art Gallery, Toi o Tāmaki, has won multiple international architecture awards.

None of this would have been possible without people such as Nat Cheshire, the dreamer son of architect

s an Aucklander, I wasn’t surprised that Pokemon Go was such an instant hit. One of the best things about living in New Zealand’s largest city is the thrill of the hunt.

Auckland is situated between two large harbours and framed by the undulating contours of extinct volcanoes; you could dedicate every minute of your leisure time to exploring its diverse landscape and still feel as though there were more secluded beaches and dramatic viewpoints to discover. The city’s natural beauty is better described by its Māori name, Tāmaki Makaurau “the maiden sought by a hundred lovers”, and as Auckland’s population surges the analogy is increasingly apt.

An optimistic dynamism has emerged in response to the challenges that come with evolving into a truly international city. In the past two years Auckland, with a population of 1.4 million, has been labelled the world’s fourth most-diverse city (surpassing London and New York) and the world’s third most liveable (the first in the 2015 World Migration Report, the second in a Mercer recruitment report.)

With the kind of urban sprawl that characterised Los Angeles (Auckland’s official twin city) just a few years ago, you’d be forgiven for being underwhelmed by the city’s CBD. But Auckland is undergoing a transformation, and through large-scale infrastructure projects such as the City Rail Link the landscape is constantly shifting. Auckland is a version of Pokemon Go; the hidden gems of the city’s rare creatures, found in the most unexpected places. Locals are expert hunters.

The flavour of the land That sophistication is felt most keenly in the dining scene, with a rumoured average of eight hospitality openings a week, thanks to independent operators with big ideas. Mimi Gilmour, the 32-year-old founder of affordable, cult-status restaurant chains such as Mexico and Burger Burger, believes it all started with people like her. “Ten years ago my generation left Auckland because we thought it was boring,” she says. “But we returned

Taking inspiration from overseas, this generation has built a new global culture, one independent coffee roastery/juice store/clothing label at a time.

Pasture, a 25-seat restaurant hidden down a Parnell alleyway, opened in July this year by Laura and Ed Verner, is a culmination of the couple’s travels in Scandinavia and South Africa, and their experiences at Michelinstarred restaurants. Its menu features locally grown and foraged ingredients, traditional pickling and fermentation techniques and open-fire cooking.

A renewed appreciation for the impressive bounty of the local region is visible across the menus of Auckland’s best eateries.

Pip Cheshire. Despite having still not fully registered as an architect, Nat is responsible for some of Auckland’s most captivating public and private spaces, including Britomart and City Works Depot.

He says Auckland’s size allows it to be responsive to experimentation and innovation, while its distance from the rest of the world means we’re always seeking to live up to an impression of what great cities are.

Informed by tourism, media and immigration, that’s resulted in a city that he says is “sophisticated in a manner that’s disproportionate to its scale”.

Enacting the garden-to-table philosophy on a larger scale is Hip Group, owners of 11 stores, cafés and restaurants in the city. The sustainable supply chain that starts with its farm in Kumeu prioritises provenance and seasonality at its outlets from beachside St Heliers Bay Café and Bistro to Britomart bakery Amano.

Hip Group’s mission, according to co-founder Scott Brown, is “to create a dining experience that’s as far from contrived or inauthentic as possible”.

The burgeoning coffee scene is driven by entrepreneurs such as Mike Murphy, who purchased Kokako café and organic roastery nine years ago, and has been innovating ever since. Kokako’s Grey Lynn headquarters consistently ranks as one of Auckland’s best cafés, while the wholesale roastery supplies like-minded businesses across the city. Craft beer experts, biodynamic wine growers and sellers, artisan

cheese makers will all tell you the same thing: Auckland is an incredible place to do business right now.

For locals, the best thing about Auckland is the ease with which we can dip in and out of its sophisticated urban life. At the end of a humid day, the glittering, never-distant ocean rewards as keenly as it beckons. Weekend bush walks can be capped off with impromptu fine dining; international arts festivals are as easily accessed as deserted beaches. Of course the city still faces big challenges, but the opportunities that will no doubt be borne out of them make it an adventurous time to be an Aucklander.

Visiting the various geothermal sites is generally suitable for every fitness level – to get to some

areas however, expect a two- or three-hour walk, often via wooden pathways and tracks.

Te Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley, called ‘Whaka’ by the locals, is a geothermal area within Rotorua. The largest and most famous of Rotorua’s geysers is Pohutu Geyser, meaning ‘big splash’ or ‘explosion’ in Māori.

Pohutu erupts hourly, sending scalding water up to a staggering 30 metres into the air. Imminent eruptions can be predicted when Pohutu’s neighbouring geyser, Te Tohu, starts to bubble. Te Tohu was given the name ‘Prince of Wales Feathers’ in honour of a royal visit to Whaka in 1901.

In Māori legend, these dramatic natural phenomena are a gift from the gods, and each is named after ancestors or historical events, with its own story to tell. Local Māori discovered the practical and medicinal uses of the hot springs centuries ago, which provided them with heating, therapeutic benefits and a way to cook and preserve food. As part of a guided tour at the Te Puia cultural centre in the heart

of Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley, we’re offered a real taste of Māori culture with a traditional hangi lunch, cooked over natural vents in the ground.

Devil’s bath Hells Gate, only 20 minutes northeast from the centre of Rotorua, is New Zealand’s most active geothermal park and a place of deep cultural significance to the local Māori people. It got its name when playwright George Bernard Shaw visited in the early 1900s and decided it must be the gateway to the underworld.

It’s mesmerising to watch the liquefied mud plipping and plopping at the Hells Gate Mud Bath and Spa. When rainfall has been low, the mud is thick and slow-moving, and resembles melted chocolate. The chance to soak in a soft, mushy warm mud bath is one of Hells Gate’s biggest attractions.

The baths are more like heaven than hell, and are said to cure all manner of ailments, from skin infections to muscular aches and pains. Some say that they

he first thing that often strikes visitors when they arrive in Rotorua is its smell – a rotteneggy odour. But once you get used to it, the aroma is part of the natural charms of this town and its surrounding regions.

The pungent pong is sulphurous – New Zealand is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, and Rotorua is at the heart of this geothermal activity in the Taupo Volcanic Zone.

Steaming hot springs, exploding mud pools, and lakes formed from giant craters mark the landscape, a continual reminder of what lies beneath the city.

Many of the region’s most spectacular geothermal sites are found between the Roturua township and Taupo, around an hour’s drive south. There are a number of different routes but State Highway 5, known as the Thermal Explorer Highway, is by far the most scenic, with volcanic activity having sculpted the landscape in every direction.

Thirty minutes south of Rotorua, the Waimangu Volcanic Valley is a freak of nature created when the region was shaken by the eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886. A walk through the valley reveals Frying Pan Lake, the world’s largest hot spring, but don’t be tempted to take a dip here; the surface temperature is around 55°C, and temperatures in excess of 200°C have been recorded at its deepest point.

A further ten-minute drive brings you to one of the most colourful geothermal fields, Wai-O-Tapu (or ‘Sacred Waters’ in Māori). Boiling water from the Champagne Pool empties onto a large terrace known as the Artist’s Palette, where minerals dissolve to create a kaleidoscope of vivid colours.

Perhaps one of the region’s greatest secrets is Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park at Hidden Valley on the fringes of the Bay of Plenty. This little valley, a bit off the beaten track, is protected by its isolation – it can only be reached by boat. It’s about a 45-minute drive from Rotorua to the ferry, which crosses Lake Ohakuri.

The journey is well worth the effort: the steam from a thousand hot springs wafts in the breeze above the magical Emerald Terrace, and the ‘Pool of Mirrors’ at the bottom of Ruatapu is known as Aladdin’s Cave.

Splash down A few kilometres outside Taupo is the Wairakei Tourist Park, home to the mighty Waikato River, New Zealand’s longest at 425 kilometres.

Squeezed through a shallow chasm, the placid waters are turned into the roaring Huka Falls. Following the Huka Falls Trail, the sound of the cascades grows louder at every turn. I later see the fall’s power from another perspective, on a bone-rattling jet boat ride with Huka Jet. Just north of the falls is the Volcanic Activity Centre, where visitors learn more about what causes these earth-shaking wonders. Nearby are the Craters of the Moon, where I feel the raw energy of the earth as I look into a witch’s cauldron of boiling water and fizzing hot gasses.

Reaching Taupo, the ‘Volcanic Loop’ highway leads me to the volcanic peaks and lakes of World heritage-listed Tongariro National Park, and the giant cones of Mounts Tongariro, Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe.

The barren landscape is punctuated by vividly coloured lakes, steaming fumaroles and lava formations. It’s easy to see why the area served as the Land of Mordor in The Lord of the Rings films, and remains one of the most intriguing wonders on the planet.

PAUSE. REFLECT. The best adventures happen off the beaten track, in the places it takes energy to get to.

The best holidays give you the time to think and the stimulation to make those thoughts worthwhile.

The best memories are made when you’ve stepped up to the edge, and found something you didn’t know you were looking for.

When you’re planning your next holiday, pause and reflect on everything the Taranaki region of New Zealand has to offer.

You’ll see why it’s one of the world’s best destinations.

Anyone fancy going camping in Coromandel this summer?

WITHIN MINUTES OF sitting down to write about New Zealand beach holidays, I have fired off an email to my boyfriend, Mum and sister. It happens every year around this time: the first warm days of spring arrive, the evenings start getting longer, next thing I’ve got 36 tabs of holiday accommodation options open in my browser.

Some years I think I might flag going further afield, but I never have. The New Zealand summer holiday – the annual pilgrimage from the cities and towns we call home to our chosen patches of paradise – is too entrenched a ritual to bypass. Besides, it won’t have been a proper summer unless I’ve laid on a beach under a pōhutukawa tree, eaten a boysenberry Trumpet outside a small-town dairy (milk bar) and read at least one trashy romance novel left in somebody else’s beach house.

Summers past Like the Great American Road Trip, much of the Good Old Kiwi Holiday’s allure has to do with nostalgia. It’s an experience that reminds us of a simpler time, when kids weren’t glued to their

82-85_EXPLORE_COROMANDEL.indd 84

iPhones, “eating out” meant fish ‘n’ chips on the beach and you could throw up a fibrolite shack (baches, we call them) on the beach without a permit. It’s the setting for happy childhood memories; tumbling off boogie boards into foamy surf, gazing at stars through an open tent flap, running out to the road at the sound of an approaching Mr Whippy ice cream van. As adults, this nostalgia pulls us back to the same beaches we visited as kids — maybe even the same campsites or baches if we’re lucky — to relive the halcyon days of summers past.

I spent my own childhood summer holidays camping on Waiheke Island, but having since moved from Wellington up to Auckland I feel obliged to venture further for my annual getaways. In recent years

Staking a spot It doesn’t matter that I don’t own a holiday home as there are so many different ways to stake a temporary claim; rent a bach, hire a campervan, pitch a tent.

A few years ago I borrowed a mustardcoloured Kombi van (more of a romantic decision than a practical one) and road-tripped between campgrounds pretending it was 1973. No, the hardest bit is choosing where to lay your towel down.

For the quintessential Kiwi holiday experience, the sandy beaches on the eastern side are the way to go, but which one? When I was younger

82-85_EXPLORE_COROMANDEL.indd 85

and looking to meet boys around bonfires, New Year’s Eve hotspot Whangamata was the place to be. Now I adore its neighbour Opoutere, a relatively remote sweep of ocean with a small campsite tucked back from the beach behind a pine forest. Further up the eastern side, Hahei is home to one of NZ’s most Instagrammable beaches, Cathedral Cove, and a few minutes’ drive from the one where you dig your own hot pools in the sand.

Oh, and did I mention New Chum, which The Observer once listed in the world’s top 20 beaches? No biggie.

It’s been over a decade since we last went camping as a family, but Mum and my sister have replied and they’re both excited at the idea. Now it’s back to searching for this summer’s patch of paradise. The Good Old Kiwi Holiday lives on.

MOUNT MAUNGANUI Bay of Plenty Resort town “The Mount” is a sandy peninsula with untouched beaches, hip cafés and a few sky-rise apartments. The campsite at the sheltered end is ideal for young families.

WAIHEKE ISLAND Auckland Glorious beaches, glam baches and a laid-back vibe that’ll have you quickly operating on Island time, all just a 30-minute ferry ride from Auckland.

LAKE TAUPO NZ’s largest lake is also one of its most iconic holiday destinations, offering postcard-perfect views of water, mountains, bush and endless waterbased activities.

PIHA Auckland Black sand, big swells and rugged scenery make this one of NZ’s most legendary surf spots. Try to rent one of the cute old-school baches nestled into the hillside.

BAY OF ISLANDS Northland Comprising 144 sub-tropical islands, the Bay of Islands is home to undeveloped golden-sand beaches, charming historical towns, Ma¯ ori cultural experiences and dolphin and whalewatching safaris.

GISBORNE Gisborne District If looking out to sea with a chilled glass of chardonnay in hand is your thing, try Gisborne. Way out east, the region offers plenty of beachfront camping spots, legendary surf breaks, and some of NZ’s best vineyards and wineries.

OAKURA Taranaki This pretty beach town with its wide black-sand beach is one of the most popular stops along Taranaki’s legendary Surf Highway 45. Accommodation ranges from luxury beach pads to ramshackle baches.

Travel tip Try to avoid holiday hot spots between Christmas and mid-January, which is when 90 per cent of Kiwis take their leave. If you can’t, make sure you book campgrounds and baches well in advance.

T’S a gloriously sunny Saturday afternoon and the bunch of chic 20-somethings is all shopped out. They have bags from Scanlan Theodore, Chanel, Michael Kors, Sephora, H&M and Sneakerboy, and now they’re making the seemingly tough decision as to which hip restaurant – rooftop or garden bar, apparently – they should go for cocktails and a late lunch. This is not a scene from Australian fashion capitals Sydney or Melbourne, but Queensland’s Gold Coast.

Not so long ago, the Gold Coast was best known for its theme parks, beaches and the Surfers Paradise glitter strip, but the city has

the ‘Goldie’, as locals affectionately call it, has grown up transformed into an exciting, creative and entrepreneurial mecca.

With the Gold Coast gearing up for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, upmarket eateries, fine-dining restaurants, designer markets and cool pop-up bars opening every week, and premium global brands opening their doors in the city, the ‘Goldie’, as locals affectionately call it, has grown up.

“There’s a new confidence here,” says restaurateur Simon Gloftis, the man behind Greek institution Hellenika and the iconic The Fish House, which he recently sold to work on a top-secret project.

“There comes a point where a city matures and the Gold Coast is at that crucial point now.

We’ve hit critical mass population-wise, we have the airports, the sporting teams, the shopping – we have everything all coming together.”

Along with the burgeoning culinary, arts and music scenes, one of the most dramatic changes in recent months is the retail landscape.

While Gold Coasters once had to visit southern states for a serious fashion fix, the city is fast becoming a worldclass shopping hub. And where better to start your retail therapy than at shopping giant Pacific Fair, which is in the final stages of a $670 million redevelopment.

Here you will find a mix of global brands including Givenchy, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Christian Louboutin and Chanel, international chains such as H&M and Zara, plus Australian designer faves Zimmermann, Scanlan Theodore, Aje, Alice McCall, Sass and Bide and Manning Cartell.

If in doubt of where

to start, head to The Resort, an open-air retail precinct filled with palm trees, water features and cabanas. There are good restaurants and cafés in the dining precinct, or try hot-spot Garden Kitchen and Bar across the road at Jupiters Gold Coast.

Over at Robina Town Centre, shoppers will be in foodie heaven when urban marketplace and culinary playground The Kitchens opens this month. The $160 million two-level, industrial-style space is a melting pot of fresh-food retailers, cafés, fine-dining restaurants, bars and street food options including MasterChef judge George Calombaris’ souvlaki bar, Jimmy Grants, and reality star-turned-Naked Treaties entrepreneur Jemma Gawned’s organic, raw, sugar-free desserts and superfood smoothies.

Where are your top three places to shop on the Gold Coast?

I think Pacific Fair and Robina Town Centre (pictured below) are becoming equal, if not better, to what’s on offer in Sydney or Melbourne. I spend most of my shopping hours there. For something special or eclectic you can’t go past The Village Markets in Burleigh. We found some great art the other day.

There is a sense of excitement on the Gold Coast at the moment. What are your thoughts on the cultural shift?

There’s a huge cultural shift.

Once the Gold Coast was only known for its Glitter Strip – now it’s so much more. We have become a destination for shoppers and food lovers who also like spending time at the beach.

The difference is what’s on offer – better restaurants, more cultural events and the fact we are going to host the Commonwealth Games – it suggests the Coast is becoming a force to be reckoned with.

We have the tram line that has changed the way people travel, renovations to our big shopping centres, plus a surge in our café and restaurant culture. Beach suburbs such as Palm Beach and Burleigh have become hotspots, with more small bars and more restaurants, but both still retain a great local vibe.

If you had a child-free evening, where would you go?

On a (rare) child-free night, I’ve been to Hellenika in Nobby Beach and had a beautiful meal. Pablo Pablo in Palm Beach is amazing and so are the pizzas at Justin Lane at Burleigh.

Its 100-plus stalls showcase fashion, homewares, swimwear, jewellery, children’s wear, art and collectibles.

“There is an abundance of creative talent here,” Marissa says. “Part of the reason we started TVM was that there was nowhere on the Gold Coast for these small businesses to showcase their designs. Small brands can’t necessarily afford to open a bricksand-mortar shop so we were able to provide that platform, which in turn prevents local talent from moving to Sydney or Melbourne.”

ucked near Singapore’s eastern coast, well away from downtown, the lesserknown but vibrant neighbourhoods of Joo Chiat and Katong are the traditional preserve of the Peranakan population (otherwise known as the homegrown descendants), the Chinese traders who settled here in the 18th and 19th centuries and intermarried with Malay women, adopting their customs and traditions – many of them conspicuously Europeanised.

Also called Straits-born Chinese, it doesn’t take long to encounter vestiges of their unique hybridised culture on the streets of these two neighbouring suburbs, or as Singaporeans refer to them, ‘heartland’ areas – places where the locals live. Lesson one: Peranakans love vivid colour. Brightly coloured shophouses vie to be the loudest and brightest – shades of pastels in green, rose and blue, appear in traditional ceramics patterns, tiles and artwork – even sweets (more on this later).

Lesson two comes at the home of Peranakan man, Alvin Yapp. His spacious home in Joo Chiat doubles as The Intan, an award-winning, living museum of Peranakan culture. His dizzying collection of artifacts include highly embellished, intricately carved sideboards that curiously meld the traditions of high-end English furniture and tropes of Chinoiserie, including Peranakan favourites, the peony flower and the phoenix.

“That’s Peranakan – more Chinese than the Chinese, more English than the English!,” says Alvin, who credits his extroverted nature to his Peranakan roots. As Alvin explains it, Peranakan (also known as Nyonya) culture reached

92-97_EXPLORE_JOO CHIAT.indd 94

Brightly coloured shophouses vie to be the loudest and brightest its zenith just before World War II when the Peranakans occupied the upper tiers of Singaporean society, and went into decline in the following decades. Local author Josephine Chia’s memoir Kampong Spirit recounts her childhood and growing up in the ’60s in Singapore’s Potong Pasir. Josephine describes Peranakan children being teased by their peers as “OCBC” or the acronym of the Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation.

“They jeered, ‘Orang Cina Bukan Cina.’ The words translated as Chinese person, not Chinese.”

Alvin, on the other hand, grew up with little idea of his Peranakan identity, and only embraced it as a young adult – the vanguard of a modern-day resurgence of Peranakan pride that has seen people scouring their family tree for Straits Chinese descendants.

“It’s very popular now,” he says.

“Everyone wants to be Peranakan.”

It doesn’t take long to figure out that, just like modern-day Singapore, Peranakans like plenty of dazzle with their razzle. Their crafts feature intricate beadwork, particularly on the slipper-like women’s shoes still meticulously made by hand in several shops along East Coast Road and the finely wrought, lace-like gold jewellery.

Peranakan artefacts can be seen in the imposing colonial building in central Singapore repurposed in 2008 as the Peranakan Museum (in pride of place is the riotously decorative wedding bed in which one Mrs Quah gave birth to the first seven of her 11 children) along with examples of Nyonya porcelain and costume.

“It is very tortured,” he says with a laugh, “but it is also very Singaporean.”

rapidly modernising with hipster barbecue joints and Edison lightglobes, it’s still possible to see Peranakan life on the streets, or on your plate.

At the forefront is the laksa shop at 328 Katong Laksa. The chef Ryan Koh is a legend to the locals – he defeated Gordon Ramsay in a street food cook-off. The small shop with its plastic stools and walls adorned with photos of visiting local celebrities is famous for its addictive bowls of the classic Nyonya curry noodle soup in coconut broth, with fat prawns, cockles, thin rice noodles and enough chilli to clear the nostrils.

It’s common to see locals wear batik patterns or the sarong and kebaya (traditional blousedress), and the shophouses of Koon Seng Road bear exuberant motifs incorporating Chinese, Malay and European themes. A table of brightly coloured sweets outside Kim Choo Kueh Chang on East Coast Road include the authentically Peranakan Nyonya pineapple tarts with crumbly butter pastry. “Peranakan people fell in love with butter pastry,” says Raymond Wong, whose family has run Rumah Kim Choo since 1945.

“Eating biscuits isn’t big in China but it is among Peranakans.”

S

o said then Prime Minister Bob Hawke back in 1983 when, after 132 years of US domination, Australia won the America’s Cup yacht race.

It was one of the country’s biggest sporting achievements.

Four years later, the Western Australian city of Fremantle

hosted the defending-title event.

The nation was unsuccessful, but the once tough, working class, dockside town changed forever.

Fast-forward more than 30 years, and you wouldn’t catch today’s PM eulogising about bosses being bums, but more significantly you wouldn’t recognise the city from its pre-America’s Cup days.

Freo, as it’s fondly known, has undergone a major evolution, if not a renaissance.

Established in 1829 as a port for the Swan River Colony, the city’s maritime ties and convict past have endowed it with the world’s best-preserved 19th century port streetscape, made up of almost 3000 heritage buildings, 150 of them classified

by National Trust. The restoration and preservation of these buildings has effectively made way for museums, contemporary galleries, eclectic boutiques and retailers that have imbued the place with a designer-cool modern glow.

Adding to the buzz are places of historical intrigue, such as the Fremantle Prison, where you can explore tunnels 20 metres underground, and stunning inner-city beaches just a few minutes from the main street.

Meanwhile, the food scene has been infiltrated with some very hip, independent eateries.

At Fishing Boat Harbour, fish and chip joints have long been popular, as has Little Creature’s Brewery, but the city’s latest venues have upped the ante, bringing unique flavours, wholesome produce, culinary creativity and a palpable joie de vivre to the culinary landscape.

Justin Blackford, Food Loose Tours co-founder and guide, has recently added the ‘Fabulous Fremantle Frolic’ to the company’s tour options.

“While there are obvious places to eat and drink in Freo, it’s the interesting, quirky and out-ofthe-way places that caught my attention for the tour,” he says.

“You wouldn’t necessarily spot them right away.”

Modern dining

Red and green Italianthemed cafés hide under heritage verandahs on the famed Cappuccino Strip (or South Terrace), Freo’s atmospheric centre, which is perfect for wining, dining and people watching. But in a very Melbourne kind of way, the real coffee is found in streets off the main drag.

Hush Specialty Coffee, in one of the city’s many converted warehouses, is perfect for the modern caffeine fiend, with exposed brick walls (naturally), pressed metal ceilings and a mezzanine floor overlooking a counter top piled high with fresh muffins, madeleines, panini and wraps. The barista is quick with a brief 101 on local coffee: “a long mac three-quarters is the WA equivalent to Melbourne’s three-quarter latte,” I’m told. But it’s the cold brew coffee that catches the eye. Poured from brown medicine bottles into squat glasses filled with chunks of ice, it looks rather like an early morning cocktail. Sipping while sitting on leathertopped stools outside, the taste is surprisingly mild. Justin tells me it’s because the cold neutralises the sensors.

“But it packs a wallop of caffeine that is just as strong, if not stronger, than regular coffee,” he says. You’ve been warned.

When staff from famed Copenhagen restaurant Noma toured Australia to research ideas for its Sydney pop-up restaurant, they dined at Bread in Common in Pakenham Street. It might have surprised Perth peeps (who are a halfhour’s drive away), but not locals. With a working kitchen garden presiding over the pavement, the action happens indoors.

Collaborative spaces Not far from the Cappuccino Strip, Freo’s lovely old market in a Victorian heritage building has 150 stalls selling everything from handicrafts, ornaments and clothes to fresh produce and juices. Pop in to imbibe the atmosphere but save your appetite for an oh-so-hipster warehouse conversion known as The Mantle.

This collaborative space is home to work hubs and food and wine venues such as Don Tapa, a modern South American eatery with salami and jamon dangling behind a charcuterie counter, and Short Order Burger Co. Justin says the pop-up shop stuck around once locals cottoned onto the merits of a burger made with brioche buns,

candied maple bacon and homemade patties.

The Raw Kitchen has also re-invented its warehouse space, with a yoga studio, a boutique store and restaurant where plant-based cuisine such as raw nachos topped with jalapeños, walnut refried beans, guacamole and cashew sour ‘cream’ are enjoyed by diners.

Pizza too is getting a makeover. Manuka Woodfire Kitchen, a known pizza specialist, is wowing hungry crowds with toppings such as roast pork and onions with miso and daikon.

For a Japanese hit, don’t go past The Modern Eatery, a casual and understated joint specialising in Aburi sushi whereby the sushi is partially torched or grilled giving it a unique flavour.

Sitting at stools along a stainless steel counter, part-owner and head chef, Seiya Kurogi tells me this culinary concept – from his hometown, a littleknown province in Japan – is a first for Western Australia. “We want to change the way people think of Japanese food so they don’t just think of udon noodles and chicken teriyaki,” he says.

WILD ONES THERE’S MORE TO ZOOS THAN CUTE, FURRY CRITTERS. WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS MAKING A DIFFERENCE WORDS KRYSIA BONKOWSKI

PHOTOGRAPHY AUSTRALIA ZOO, TARONGA ZOO, DREAMWORLD

L

ess than a century ago, the public could line up to ride an elephant or giant tortoise at any number of Australian or New Zealand zoos.

Visitors to Adelaide Zoo could sneak a cigarette to chain-smoking orangutan George, or see a monkey circus at Taronga Zoo in Sydney. Zoos have long struggled to balance animal welfare with the need to entertain the public, and in the past the animals too often lost out.

But the thinking about zoos has changed.

Enclosures have become bigger, breeding programs more sophisticated, and conservation a driving ethos. Zoo animals help us better empathise for the plight of their wild counterparts – it’s easier to care when you can put a furry face to the figures.

“Interactions with wildlife create awe and reawaken a child-like wonder and connection,”

106-111_EXPLORE_WILD_ENCOUNT.indd 107

TOP TO BOTTOM: Bindi Irwin cuddles up to some snakes; Tiger cub Akasha from Dreamworld’s Tiger Island; A koala encounter at Taronga Zoo.

says Belinda Fairbrother, Community Conservation Manager at Taronga Conservation Society Australia. “Profound encounters with wildlife engage visitors on such a level that they think more deeply, driving pro-wildlife behaviour.”

Belinda believes zoos are in a unique position to inspire change. “By providing a transformational guest experience ... Taronga empowers and facilitates community action for the wild,” she says. Alongside its many conservation programs, Taronga has partnered with wildlife trade monitors TRAFFIC to enlist the public in the fight against poaching.

Wildlife Witness is a free

app that lets tourists catalogue illegal incidents by uploading a photo and pinning the location.

In Victoria, keeper Lance Weldhagen cares for Werribee Open Range Zoo’s herd of Southern White Rhinos, a species decimated by poaching.

“Given their size, people often assume that rhinos will be aggressive, but these animals are gentle giants,” says Lance of his vulnerable charges.

“We are trying to raise awareness about the terrible impact of illegal poaching of rhino horn on the wild population.”

If you see rhino horn for sale, Lance urges you to report it via Wildlife Witness and help stamp out the destructive trade.

All in the family The work of one of Australia’s most iconic wildlife activists is carried on by his family and peers at Queensland’s Australia Zoo. The late Steve Irwin transformed his parent’s wildlife farm into Australia Zoo after his antics as the Crocodile Hunter brought him worldwide fame.

While Steve knew how to put on a spectacle, his commitment to wild creatures big and small was never in doubt.

Following in Steve’s footsteps, his daughter Bindi often appears in the park’s Crocoseum, facing giant saltwater crocodiles with the same aplomb as her father.

Top five wild encounters

My dad often said people want to save things that they love Back from the brink The very real impacts of zoo-driven conservation are best seen through the success stories. Yellowfooted rock-wallabies were nearing extinction across Australia when

Zoos SA began a landmark reintroduction program. In 1996, 12 zoo-bred wallabies were released into the arid Aroona Sanctuary.

Today, the area supports a stable wild population.

The public can meet the species their funds helped save at Monarto Open Plains Zoo, where dominant female Myrtle reigns over her small mob.

As biodiversity comes under increasing threat from human activities worldwide, the ability of zoos to educate and mobilise people becomes increasingly invaluable.

“Now, more than any time in human history, the protection of our environment is vitally important,” says Bindi. “It is only by working together that we will ensure a beautiful world for the generations to come.”

“My dad often said people want to save things that they love,” Bindi says. “We follow this philosophy at Australia Zoo and try to break down the barriers, dispelling the myths that people may have about many animal species.” Australia Zoo offers close encounters with animals both cuddly and not so much. “One common fear that visitors often have is that of snakes,” says Bindi. “But by taking the time to talk with our guests, we can educate them about the behaviour of the animal and the importance of protecting them for the environment. While they might not develop a love of them like we have, they have a better understanding, which can help to change an individual’s attitude.”

The work also carries on behind the scenes with the Wildlife Warriors program. Onshore, the Warriors have helped support at-risk wildlife such as the woma pythons and palm cockatoos, and run the world’s most comprehensive research study into wild crocs. The onsite wildlife hospital has treated over 64, 000 animals since opening in 2004. Overseas, they’ve helped protect at-risk animals such as big cats, whales and elephants.

“Our conservation efforts today are a real testament to Dad’s work as the ultimate Wildlife Warrior,” says Bindi.

A NIGHT AT THE ZOO WORDS MARY O’BRIEN

SAFARI DOWN UNDER Opened 33 years ago, Werribee Zoo is home to African animals and endangered Australian wildlife who wander large enclosures on the 200-hectare property. One of the zoo’s main missions is to educate people about wildlife conservation.

Our small entourage are soon heading off in an open-air bus with genuinely enthusiastic keepers Pete and Tegan. The

zebras look bizarre, grazing on Werribee’s grasslands, the ungainly giraffes chase a ute containing hay and the cheeky camels try to sneak through an open gate as our bus passes.

We veer off-road to visit a friendly white rhino who lets us pat his substantial rump and take photos. The zoo is proud of its rhinos, a species rescued from the brink of extinction.

It’s tragic that these animals are disappearing, slaughtered solely for their horns.

A MOONLIGHT SERENADE After our tour, it’s back to the camp for a glass of bubbles overlooking the Werribee River and a buffet dinner. At twilight we set off again. The shadows transform the paths into jungle.

The boys are shaking with excitement but obediently listen to granny. We stop off at the pretty vervet monkeys before our unforgettable lion encounter.

Back at the camp the boys toast marshmallows over the campfire while the adults enjoy scones and cream.

I sleep surprisingly well, despite the cacophony of animals and birds, and faint hum of traffic. In the middle of the night, the lions let out an

One of the zoo’s main missions is to educate people about wildlife conservation almighty roar, pulling me out of my dreams. It makes the night completely worthwhile.

Next morning, after a hearty breakfast, we meet Michael at the hippo enclosure. With a bit of coaxing and a handful of

hay, Michael gets his “girls” to strut their stuff and trundle into a muddy pool. But then it’s back to business. “I have some poo to pick up,” says Michael.

As a cat lover, I can’t resist visiting the serval cats. Looking like a very tall domestic cat, the serval leaps between branches for a reward. If only I could get my cat to behave like that.

My stay is almost over, but the adventure continues for the boys and granny as they plan another busy day at the zoo.

IN THE FADING light, Johari the lion looks like a stern dad as his little boys – Kubwa, Kashka and Kito – tumble and play.

Only a few metres away, safely behind a glass partition, another three little boys – human this time – watch awestruck, stepping back when a lioness brushes the glass.

The boys are holding hands with what must be the world’s best granny. She has brought them to Werribee Open Range Zoo, just outside Melbourne, for a sleepover – a dream come true for any animal-loving kid.

I’m part of a small, lucky group that has signed up for a Slumber Safari and gets to stay behind when the zoo closes.

Earlier that afternoon, we had checked into Werribee’s luxurious tented lodges, complete with mozzie nets, electric blankets (phew!), fans and, best of all, an ensuite.

Our balcony overlooks the grasslands – luckily I brought my binoculars to spot animals.

and jackets in double or even, eek, triple denim combinations. Denim in styles that would have had the pub in stitches only five years ago (think overalls) is back in a way not seen since the Bradys were TV’s First Family.

Denim nouveau What is notable in the current renaissance is not only the multiplicity of styles – high- or lowwaisted, flared or hiphugger, cropped or long, skinny or slouchy – but the lengths aficionados will go for the perfect pair.

It’s eerily like stumbling across a fashion cult when visiting Dejour jeans in Melbourne hipster haven Brunswick, where the queue spills out the door and down the street of this nondescript shop.

ndy Warhol wanted to die with his blue jeans on. Yves Saint Laurent simply wished he’d invented them.

“They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity,” he said. “All I hope for in my clothes.”

It says plenty about denim’s cut-through qualities that two devoutly avant-garde artists gave it their passionate seal of approval. Known as a practical, rugged fabric, denim pants can be dated to 17th century Genoa sailors, but it was a Nevada tailor in 1872 who first fashioned denim into rivet-enforced workman’s trousers, purportedly for a woman who wanted pants her husband wouldn’t ruin chopping wood. Over a century later, denim finds itself at the nexus of high culture and low.

Like all long-term relationships, denim has had its ups and downs (who could forget Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears’ double denim at the 2001 American Music Awards?) but it’s proven time and again to be fashion’s great survivor.

Right now there’s a case to argue we’re at its historic high point.

From the catwalk to the high street, denim is everywhere. Even denim’s little brother, chambray, is having a moment, often teamed with jeans

Tailored to perfection

tattooed – trawl highstacked shelves and head to changing rooms with armfuls of denim.

Aside from the cost (the average pair retails for a wallet-friendly $53), the point of difference is the team of tailors who alter everything to fit perfectly, on the spot, at no extra cost. Now, consider that they sell around 40 pairs an hour and that only two or three people each day decline tailoring. It’s a big undertaking that keeps six sewing machines whirring constantly.

“You come in, you try on five pairs, we chalk them up for you. One hour later they’ll be ready to collect. The big retailers assume everyone

has the same body shape but we know they don’t,” floor manager Penny Dodsworth says. “For our customers it’s all about the perfect fit.”

Precious threads Elsewhere in the New Jeans paradigm, cost is no barrier to denim heaven.

Manhattan’s 3x1 has been written up in Forbes for its US$1200 bespoke jeans, and where the US leads we inevitably follow.

“We looked at their model when we were launching three years ago,” Andrew Byrne of Brisbane’s Initial Denim says. The store also offers

custom jeans, albeit much cheaper (a pair starts at $425 and goes up to $650 for denim comprising 10 per cent cashmere “the inside leg is brushed and soft; it’s like wearing pyjamas”, says Andrew).

Initial began with suits, but moved into men’s denim when they saw a gap in the market. “Jeans are a staple of so many guys’ wardrobes, yet they have trouble getting the right fit.” Initial is among a small-but-growing band of outlets catering to customers disatisfied with off-the-rack jeans.

“Some guys who are really into their fashion want a story, they want to be part of the process,” says Andrew. “It’s not like investing in a tuxedo and wearing it once or twice, this is something you can wear every day.”

It’s something of a paradox that a garment can symbolise rebellion while exerting a powerful conformity. James Dean wouldn’t have been such a rebel without a cause if he hadn’t slouched around in a pair of Lee Riders, inspiring generations of teens to adopt the look.

Those Lees continue to be a top seller, along with the Levi 501s, that first pair conjured up by the Nevada tailor, which have been worn by everyone from Bruce Springsteen on the cover of Born in the USA to Barack Obama.

They’re a uniform for everyone who refuses to be typecast.

Timeless threads Luke Hammonds of Sydney menswear label Phable says a great pair of jeans transcends fashion.

“It’s about form, function and aesthetic,” he says.

And that’s on par with the renewed appreciation for pre-digital sound: “Vinyl is organic, you hear the warmth in the bass, the sibilance in the treble.

We’re the vinyl of denim.”

When Luke and Brody Davison started Phable in 2010 they went all out, finding a 1942 Union Special sewing machine to chain-stitch hems – “It creates a contrast rope effect that denim-heads are into”. They also made sure that their Revolver jean had a wide-enough flare for a cowboy boot

and a pocket deep enough to hold a wallet in the saddle. “Some customers don’t even care that our jeans are hand-made in Australia, but these things matter to us,” Luke says.

The most notable thing about denim over the last decade, Denis Leadbeater of Melbourne’s Flux says, “is that we don’t have to educate people anymore”.

This is particularly notable for a small label that sells primarily not to

the high-fashion set, but to what Denis describes as “the cool Fitzroy dads who don’t want to buy Country Road and don’t want to get into skinny jeans.” The biggest seller among this fraternity is a tapered jean: slim at the bottom, roomier up top.

“Now people know about the weight they’ll ask if it’s 14 ounce; they know about selvedge denim, they know about Japanese denim. We don’t have to educate people about the quality of the denim and how to take care of it,” Denis says.

“People want to wear in a pair of jeans from raw rather than something that’s been distressed artificially; it’s more sincere, somehow.”

But maybe that’s where the new denim aficionado comes into it. They’re after something that’s been crafted just for them from the best-quality everything, including Japanese denim, the undisputed king of denim, and Italian rivets.

Buyers are conversant with terms such as selvedge (the tell-tale coloured, self-binding edge of this shuttle loomed, vintage production method is a sought-after commodity which means wearers will get their jeans longer in order to turn them up) and unwashed raw denim (a blank canvas for the wearer to break in).

Owners of these cult jeans are advised not to wash them in the first three to six months. A popular method is putting them in a plastic bag in the freezer overnight to kill bacteria and stop odour. “Every time you wash your jeans you lose something, but in Brisbane it’s too sweaty not to,” says Andrew.

INTO THE VOID You may think there isn’t much to see in the great yawning expanse between the coastal capitals, but it’s where some of Australia’s most unique sights can be seen. The rugged Flinders Ranges presents a breathtaking landscape more than 500 million years in the making. Quirky pubs and colourful characters await in tiny outback towns that feel a million miles from nowhere, while the spectacle of Uluru emerging from the darkness at dawn can move even the stoutest soul. When venturing into the back of beyond, make sure you are prepared for long hauls between stops.

BIKES AND HIKES New Zealand has always been a beautiful setting for a biking holiday, and even more so since the government poured funds into 2500km worth of trails over the past few years to create the Great Rides of Nga Haerenga, The New Zealand Cycle Trail. The Redwoods track in the Whakarewarewa Forest near Rotorua is one of the most popular for good reason, with mountain bikers hurtling under soaring trees and past azure lakes. On the South Island, The Heaphy Track hugs the dramatic mountains and rugged beaches of the wild west coast.

Most of these tracks are dual use, if you prefer using two feet.

New Zealand’s Department of Conservation offers lodges, cabins and cottages in jawdropping settings on both islands, the perfect retreat after a long day on your feet and in the saddle.

Strap on the hiking boots and grab the crampons, the weather is fine on Tasmania’s Great Walks. With 2,800km of managed tracks winding through the state’s stunning wilderness, there are options to suit everyone, and summer is the mildest (and driest) time to tackle them. For deserted beaches and breathtaking coastal views, try the Bay of Fires or Freycinet Experience Walk. Lose yourself in a 65-million-year-old forest on the Tarkine Rainforest Walk, or the beautiful Cradle Mountain & Lake St. Clair National Park on the Overland Track. Or experience the rugged beauty of Maria Island with just your walking buddies and a few affable wombats for company.

ON THE ROAD

BACK TO BASICS Backpacking is a rite of passage for travellers of all kinds. Travelling on a shoestring with your worldly possessions strapped to your back is a strangely intoxicating experience. The backpacking path through south-east Asia is well worn, and in tourist havens such as Sihanoukville in Cambodia, Koh Phangan in Thailand and Indonesia’s Gili Trawangan you will meet people from all over the world.

But once you’ve had your fill of busy bars and full moon parties, straying off the beaten path has its own rewards.

Destinations such as Myanmar are open to tourists in a way they haven’t been for decades, and as party islands reach capacity, lesser-known spots such as Vietnam’s Con Dao Islands and Siquijor in the Philippines offer welcome respite. If Thailand is too busy head to Malaysia. When Bali gets crowded try Lombok.

Talk to your fellow travellers, read up on up-and-coming destinations, and don’t be afraid to be spontaneous.

118-127_EXPLORE_SUMMER FUN.indd 126

LUXE IT UP Living out a backpack is not everyone’s cup of tea. If your tastes run toward the finer things, Asia affords endless opportunities for spoiling yourself. Luxury hotels are a far sight more affordable in many south-east Asian countries than on home shores, and upscale resorts in hotspots such as Thailand, Bali and Malaysia exist to satisfy your every whim.

Metropolises such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo seem to have one foot planted firmly in the future, while still offering culinary novelties and historic nooks for explorers. No matter how posh your hotel, there is something equally amazing guaranteed to be waiting.

FULL STEAM AHEAD The end of secondary education is a turning point in every young person’s life. So what comes next?

WORDS EDWINA BROWN

PHOTOGRAPHY ISTOCKPHOTO.COM

128-131_Experience_Education.indd 129

T

he last days of high school are a rush of exams, graduation ceremonies, parties and jubilant goodbyes. For many young people it’s a time of both happy anticipation and not a little anxiety about what lies ahead.

For some lucky students the end of school marks a smooth transition to further study and the career of their choice. But not every student knows exactly what they want to do next.

Being unsure about your next steps is a

common post-school scenario. Even if you’re not certain what you’d like to do, you probably already know what you don’t want to do, and that’s a great first point for clarifying your thoughts. Next, you need to ask yourself what you do enjoy doing. Are you a hands-on person who prefers real-life experience to books and essays? Do you want to work in sports, help people, or are you a budding entrepreneur?

129

Dip your toe in There are lots of options for students keen on pursuing further study and training, even if you aren’t 100 per cent sure of your final career choice. The Good Universities Guide (gooduniversitiesguide. com.au) recommends considering a generalist degree if you have an idea of your interests but aren’t sure where they may lead you. A general degree offers lots of subject choices so you can try out new subjects.

10/10/2016 3:54 PM

Explore I EDUCATION

130

Another good option if you’re not ready to commit to a three to four year degree is to start with a lower-level degree such as a certificate course.

These courses can get you working in the field of your choice – a great way to decide if it’s the industry for you – or be a pathway to higher study in your chosen field later on, with credit for study and practical experience.

Many unis have access and pathway programs that can help get students into study even if they didn’t get into their preferred course. At Charles Sturt University, which has study locations in NSW, the ACT and VIC, equity access schemes, bonus points for regional students and early entry based on your school’s recommendation and your year 11 and 12 results (futurestudents.csu.edu. au).

Still not sure?

Why not take a gap year to think about your options?

Flexible broad-based degrees can also help you find a path into your preferred area of study, or even introduce you to a whole new study interest.

Looking outside the university sector opens up a wealth of options. TAFE colleges deliver both vocational programs and degrees (tafecourses.com. au). Victoria’s Holmesglen (holmesglen.edu.au), for example, offers diplomas, degrees, certificates, apprenticeships and short courses in industries as varied as computing and IT, business and finance, hospitality, and design.

Similar colleges operate in every state.

Q&A with Lachie Humphreys Did you spend a lot of time choosing what to enrol in?

Melbourne University graduate Lachie Humphreys shares her higher education path

A lot! All the way up to Year 11, I planned my studies around becoming an architect. It was something I was really passionate about. My back-up was to look at getting an interior design qualification.

Then I completely changed my mind! When I got to the application stage, I was really enjoying psychology and decided to pursue this through a Bachelor of Arts.

Have a plan B Not getting accepted into your first choice of course or institution is always disappointing. Consider similar courses at other universities, online learning or a pathway course.

Secondary schools offer career counselling to students in their final year of school but you can also take advantage of professional career advice. University and college admission offices and websites have detailed information about courses and entry requirements, and student profiles offer an insight into the actual study experience.

Still not sure? Why not take a gap year to think about your options? It can be a great opportunity to gain work experience, join a volunteer program, or simply take a break from study.

What did you expect from university?

I had no idea what to expect, and early on I definitely spent a lot of time thinking “I have no idea what I’m doing”. But there’s plenty of help available if you ask.

Did you ever reconsider your study path?

All the time! And I really think that’s fine. There are so many options and so much pressure to be on the right path, but you can never know if it’s right for you until you’re on it. One of the best things about uni is that I never really felt locked in to what I was doing.

The Best Xmas Gift Ever !!

Usually every Christmas I get beer, chocolates or tickets for the cricket, but this year my son surprised me completely! After a picnic in the park and a fish by the creek with my children and grandchildren, I came home and found that they had changed my toilet seat.

My son told me that this new seat would wash and dry me with just the push of a button, he said that he had purchased one for his family just last week and they loved it so much that he just had to get one for me to!

Well, two weeks later I don’t know how I ever survived without it…

Now my toileting is a time of luxury, it is the best Christmas present I have ever bloody got! Marvin Ross

THE NELSON ARK THE NELSON ARK was founded in 2002 with the purpose of helping troubled youth in the New Zealand community of Nelson. Through their A-PART Programme (Animals, People and Rehabilitative Training) and Healing Species service, The Nelson ARK creates a second chance for young people who have lost their way.

Founding Trustee of The Nelson ARK, Karen Howieson, says that at its core the charity exists to take youth on a journey of self-discovery through working with animals.

“Thanks to Jetstar’s Flying Start grant, we have a great opportunity

to do more with young people struggling in their day-to-day lives.

The $15,000 cash grant and $15,000 in flights is undoubtedly a key way for us to extend our reach within the community,” Karen says.

“We now have an increased ability to support those in serious need with the added bonus of meeting and training facilitators across New Zealand – a luxury we can’t afford on our own.”

The cash component of the grant will be used to help fund young people and their families through their rehabilitative programs (the longest lasting eight weeks

Your not-for-profit organisation may be eligible for a $30,000 grant.

Full details are available at Jetstar. com/flyingstart

with five follow-ups).

Students are monitored for a full year and remain involved with The Nelson ARK through follow-on courses, fundraising and youth advisory groups.

The $15,000 of flights will enable The Nelson ARK to expand and host programs in sites across New Zealand with the charitable trust already receiving considerable demand.

Jetstar Australia and New Zealand Chief Executive Officer, Dean Salter, says Flying Start

is one of the many ways Jetstar is giving back to the New Zealand community, and the airline is pleased to have The Nelson ARK as the latest grant recipient.

“The work that The Nelson ARK is doing within the Nelson community is touching and admirable, and we’re proud to assist them in extending their work to reach communities across the country through our Flying Start grant,” Dean says.

The Jetstar Flying Start program invites community groups and organisations to apply for the $30,000 grant to help fund a project that enriches the lives of people in their local community.

Law and peace MIRACLES DO HAPPEN. In 2005, Nasima Rahmani, a shy, young Afghan law graduate who spoke little English, won a UN Women’s scholarship to study law at UTS in Sydney. Just seven years later, Nasima was up on stage accepting the 2012 Chancellor’s Award for Excellence.

Nasima was one of thousands of young Afghan women who survived years of Taliban rule, when girls were forbidden formal education, employment or most other activities Australian women would see as their right.

Fast forward to today. Nasima is now director of the Women’s Empowerment Centre (WEC) in Kabul – helping educate young girls through scholarships,

mentoring and leadership opportunities.

Nasima’s work is made possible by the big-hearted people of Australia’s Indigo Foundation, who are quietly achieving big changes with small sums of money, in many farflung places.

It’s a privilege for Kooks to support Nasima Rahmani and the Indigo Foundation, and the ongoing fight for freedom of education.

SEARCHING FOR A BETTER LIFE With Jetstar’s support through StarKids, Eang has found business success WORDS MARGARET SPENCER/WORLD VISION

ike many vulnerable families in Cambodia, Eang and her children used to scavenge on a rubbish dump for items to sell for income.

A whole day’s work brought in about $1.50, barely enough to survive.

It was dirty, dangerous work, but Eang felt like she had no choice. At first, the smell was unbearable, but they slowly got used to it. The worst part was pushing the heavy cart home in the dark along bumpy roads.

Things improved a little when Eang found factory work, but even then the pay was so low she had to return to the dump on weekends. Her children were often sick and rarely attended school.

But now, life on the rubbish dump is just a memory. Through a StarKids-supported development project, Eang joined a savings group where she learned to weave rugs to sell and was able to borrow funds to start her own business.

She can earn enough to meet her family’s needs and has started selling biscuits from her homebased shop.

Eang was recently visited by Catriona Larritt, Jetstar’s Chief Commercial Officer and chair of the StarKids Board, who was in Cambodia to meet some of the people benefiting from donations made by Jetstar customers.

“I was happy to see her coming to my home,” said Eang, who also proudly

“A huge thank you to all the Jetstar customers who donated more than $2.6 million to support StarKids projects like this one in the last financial year.”

This project is also supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

CROWDED SKIES

Have you ever stopped to think about the sheer number of people travelling by air at any one time? We investigate the world’s busiest routes and airports

Insane foot traffic 146

Jetstar touches down in many extremely busy airports. Last year Hong Kong saw more than 68 million passengers through its airport, more than 75 million travelled through Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport, while Singapore Changi Airport welcomed more than 55 million.

The world’s busiest airport is HartsfieldJackson Atlanta International Airport in the US, with more than 100 million travellers last year, or more than 273,000 people a day.

INTERNATIONAL Aussie,

TRAVELLERS

Australia is a popular international tourist destination, with more than 34 million passengers travelling through Australian airports last year. New Zealand remains a favourite destination with Aussie travellers and the feeling is mutual, with Australia one of the most visited international destinations for New Zealanders.

DID you KNOW?

Domestic routes are generally the busiest, and the busiest of all are in the Asia-Pacific.

In South Korea, the route between Seoul’s Gimpo Airport and Jeju Airport tops the list, travelled by more than 10 million passengers.

Travel hotspots

Aussie, Aussie!

Last year, more than 60 million passengers travelled domestically in Australia. The busiest route was Melbourne to Sydney, with close to eight million passengers, followed by Brisbane to Sydney with 4.4 million passengers.

Asia-Pacific locations are some of the most visited in the world. Hong Kong took out the top spot as the most-visited destination in the world and Singapore, Bangkok, Macau and Shenzhen also made the top 10, alongside London, Paris, Dubai, New York and Istanbul. Asian destinations represent more than a third of the top 100 most-visited cities list, including new entrants Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

SYDNEY & GOLD COAST SEMINARS TO SHOW BUSINESS OWNERS HOW TO EASILY ATTRACT NEW CLIENTS – BOTH ONLINE & OFFLINE!

If You Own Or Manage A Business & Want to Know How to Attract An Avalanche of New Clients, Don’t Miss This Event!

Australia’s Leading Marketing Expert, John Dwyer, Reveals His PROVEN ClientAttraction Marketing System - So You Can Swipe & Use to Skyrocket Your Sales!

Dwyer’s recent HUGE “wow factor” was creating a Jerry Seinfeld marketing campaign!

EVEN JERRY SEINFELD TRUSTED HIS BRAND TO JOHN

TICKETS ARE NORMALLY $497

John Dwyer is an “in-demand” business marketing coach and speaker, who has an extraordinary record of massively increasing sales for businesses.

He is a much sought-after keynote speaker for industry and company conventions.

His business is aptly called The Institute Of Wow and he holds world records for the avalanche sales increases he has delivered to clients like Channel 9 (world ratings record), KFC, Madura Tea, the Greater Building Society, Parramatta Leagues, News Ltd, the NRL & countless other businesses.

AND HE’S REVEALING HIS “WOW MARKETING SYSTEM” AT THIS 1 DAY “HOW TO ATTRACT NEW CLIENTS” EVENT!

• SYDNEY – FRI 4 NOV, 2016 • GOLD COAST – FRI 18 NOV, 2016 • SYDNEY – FRI 25 NOV, 2016 • BRISBANE – TUE 6 DEC, 2016

John scored a massive coup in recent years, when he coaxed Jerry Seinfeld to be spokesman for one of his clients, the Greater Building Society.

The marketing campaign resulted in the building society TRIPLING its home loan market share virtually overnight.

Seinfeld said Dwyer “was the cleverest marketing person he had ever worked with” – high praise indeed!

B2B & B2C Ideas – Online & Offline

The event covers both business to business and business to consumer marketing ideas online & offline. And he’ll demonstrate HOW to create a website “that SELLS!” (because most sites DON’T!).

Dwyer’s clients refer to him as “The Business Whisperer” because of his track record and proven marketing system.

One Sydney tourism business saw annual sales catapult from $10m to $14m with just one of his “outside the box” ideas.

but as a special offer for our magazine readers, a limited number of tickets are available for

JUST $97 PER PERSON and can be gained at

www.explodeyoursales.com.au His “system” has resulted in Doubling, Tripling & Quadrupling Sales for clients.

It’s not unusual for Dwyer’s clients to experience dramatic increases in sales quickly.

One of his clients selling “incontinence relief products” changed her Facebook ads to follow Dwyer’s system - and her webpage visitations exploded from 4,000 per week to 93,000 per week!

A Melbourne fun park quadrupled its attendance figures within days of adopting Dwyer’s marketing formula and a holiday resort had to stop the marketing campaign due to enjoying full occupancy as a result of Dwyer’s system.

And the list of success stories goes on – many of which Dwyer will showcase at his event.

INFO & TICKETS AT: www.explodeyoursales.com.au OR PHONE 07 55 919 566 Dwyer’s coaching programs for businesses are detailed at www.theinstituteofwow.com

Backpage I TALES FROM ROW 57*

Hong Kong hair affair In Hong Kong, a first haircut takes on all the pomp and ceremony of royal ritual Chinese Hong Kongers preferred a rather more ostentatious way to mark the occasion – a trim at the illustrious Mandarin Oriental Barber, a hidden treasure on the second floor of the half-a-century-old hotel.

Inspired by the Art Deco chic of 1930s Shanghai, with dark wood veneers, ironwork and Chinese screen-printed glass, this gentleman’s retreat has barbers that have been close-shaving here for decades.

The attraction was part nostalgia, part sentimental parent – a heady combination.

Most mums would book their child in some time during the first year. It took longer for us. My son was bald for the first three years of his life

168

MY FIRST CHILD was born in Hong Kong while I was living there as an ex-pat. It gave him little by way of a passport – he has no claim to residency unfortunately – but the first few years of his life offered customs and rituals he wouldn’t have been exposed to otherwise. Red envelopes stuffed with $10 notes were a Lunar New Year rite of passage, dragon dances at incense-infused

I booked the haircut through the hotel concierge, who came back to me with a solemn look temples were common symbols of celebration and dim sum was our regular Sunday breakfast.

Another memorable ritual was the first haircut.

While it’s common in China to shave a baby’s head, the expat crowd and the more westernised

and we nicknamed him Baby Buddha. Little old Chinese ladies would rub his head and cackle at the sight of him. Once, on a weekend in Shanghai, a crowd mobbed him.

But the hair and the appointment soon came.

There’s something very

memorable about a teeny kid sitting in a big old iron barber chair looking in the mirror as a scissorwielding wizened barber makes a fuss of him.

We now live in Melbourne, but a recent trip to Hong Kong happened to be perfect timing for my second child’s (a girl) first haircut, complete with the Mandarin Oriental’s small cutting gown, milk and cookies, a certificate signed by the barber and a lock of hair in a frame for sentimental parents to treasure forever.

I booked the haircut through the hotel concierge, who came back to me with a solemn look. There would be no appointment. When the head barber learned my daughter had a head of little blonde ringlets – rare in these parts – he refused to cut. “If he messes it up, he thinks he is in biiiiiiiig trouble,” the concierge said. No amount of convincing could win him over.

I guess I have to resort to a bearded hipster salon in Melbourne.

In the meantime, my daughter’s hair just keeps on growing.
