WOODLEIGH SCHOOL A Science-Friendly Environment The Science Faculty at Woodleigh School has had a fantastic month, with plenty of outstanding student achievements to celebrate and some very exciting new inhabitants soon to arrive in their Brian Henderson Wildlife Reserve! On Wednesday, July 27, the first three of a planned eight critically endangered Eastern Barred Bandicoots found new homes in Woodleigh School’s unique Wildlife Reserve, sharing with a mob of swamp wallabies and their two resident emus. The bandicoots, now considered extinct on the Australian mainland, have been part of a Zoos Victoria breeding program which hopes to reintroduce bandicoot populations into the wild in the coming years. Woodleigh’s role is to house and monitor postreproductive animals, freeing up space in the Zoo’s captive breeding pens for younger reproductive pairs to continue to produce new young. Year 12 student Romy Lipszyc said,
“Being able to take in, care for and monitor such a critically endangered
species is an amazing opportunity for students and cements Woodleigh’s core value of Respect for the Environment.” The release of the bandicoots has been eight years in the making and is a significant milestone in the school’s partnership with Zoos Victoria. They won’t be short on interested students to help care for the Reserve’s newest inhabitants either! Four senior students have been accepted to attend the National Youth Science Forum in Canberra next January, joining students from across the Asia Pacific Region for two weeks of intensive Science education and networking opportunities with other students, researchers, scientists and professors from across Australia and abroad. Woodleigh School looks forward to having these four, and many other students, continue to involve themselves in the wide variety of Science programs at the school; from aviation and flight, through to animal husbandry and conservation, and everything in between.

THE RISE OF THE VEGAN DIET
BY ANDREA KELLETT
‘If we could live happy, healthy lives without harming others, why wouldn’t we?’ – Edgar’s Mission. Celebrities are doing it. Athletes are thriving on it. Switched on restaurateurs and café owners are catering for it. Chances are someone you know is into it. It’s the vegan diet and judging by the number of restaurants and cafes on the Mornington Peninsula now offering vegan options and menus, this plant-based diet is growing in popularity here. There’s a ‘Mornington Peninsula Vegans’ Facebook group (more than 540 members) and word is a full vegan café and store is opening soon in Dromana. Mornington Peninsula Magazine spoke with three inspiring peninsula locals and a vineyard about all things vegan.
SHANI VETTER AND CHRISTIAN MARC
Shani is a personal trainer, a plant-built fitness competitor and owner of Smiling Assassin Fitness in Mornington. Her husband is well-known wedding and portrait photographer Christian Marc, of Christian Marc Photography. The Dromana couple became vegan three and a half years ago. They transitioned together and now share their knowledge and experience to help others transition and learn about sustainability, agriculture and nutrition (Shani even has an
Images: Christian Marc Photography AUGUST 2016 (57)
Instagram account dedicated to it - @ veganfitnessassassin). Shani was already a pescatorian (seafood but no other animal flesh) for health reasons, but after stumbling on a book about animal cruelty in the meat and dairy industry the pair went vegan and haven’t looked back. “We found the affirmation that we needed that other people were living this way and thriving,” Shani explains. “When we closed the door to these animal products another opened to other products that we wouldn’t have considered before. Our mindset of our plate changed too. It was no longer about meat and sides, our plates became beautiful with colour.” Shani has competed, with success, as a vegan in three different natural bodybuilding bikini competitions over the past few years - two in Australia with the International Natural Bodybuilding Association and one in Texas at the Naturally Fit Games where she placed second. “I was competing alongside a team of 30-40plus vegan athletes all there to show how we thrived on a plant-based diet,” she said. Christian transitioned to a full vegan diet after years of what he describes as being a “conscious meat eater”. “No-one wants
to see animals suffer, but when you think you need to eat these things to be happy and healthy, you put it out of your mind. That’s where I was at,” he explains. He meticulously researched the vegan diet and the couple have now connected with many vegans across Melbourne. Both have found plenty of cafes and restaurants on the peninsula offering vegan options. Christian uses the Edgars Mission quote (at the top of this piece) to explain why he connects with vegan principles and recommends ‘101 Reasons to Go Vegan’ on YouTube. For vegan friendly dining they recommend Store Fifteen, The Winey Cow and Thanks Albert Burger Company (chickpea burger) in Mornington; Merchant & Maker in McCrae and Dee’s Kitchen in Dromana, among many.
YASMIN RELDEAHCS
Yasmin grew up on a commercial beef farm and has come full circle from watching cattle being trucked off to the abattoir as a child to running a shelter for ex-farm animals in Moorooduc as an adult. The 31-year-old follows a vegan diet but may deviate from it in the interest of waste minimisation and sustainability. “Growing up for me was being outdoors and spending time with all sorts of animals on a commercial beef cattle farm. I’m so grateful for this upbringing as it helped teach me the importance of respecting life,” she says. Good food, for Yasmin, means organic, cruelty free and local. “That way everyone is nourished and supported, including the planet, the farmers and the animals…To be kind to others and the environment is to be kind to ourselves.” Yasmin has worked with the RSPCA and with countless volunteer groups. She
fully funds the rehabilitation of local wildlife and domesticated animals who are injured, orphaned or abandoned. She is also completing a law degree with the aim of being able to help animals and the environment in a greater capacity. Hers is a conscious awareness of food, where it comes from and what is involved in producing it – she is not exclusively vegan or freegan. “I just try and do the best I can to make more responsible decisions in my daily life and plan to do a lot more in future. To me this means reducing consumption and suffering. To make use of resources that are already available and would otherwise be rendered waste.”
PORT PHILLIP ESTATE
This peninsula venue has just been named in The Age Good Food Guide’s ‘Top 10 Melbourne vegan fine dining menus 2016’. It’s a coup for Port Phillip Estate and an indication that this part of the world really is taking the vegan customer seriously. The Good Food Guide describes Port Phillip Estate as an architectural landmark on the Mornington Peninsula that “also puts out the welcome mat to vegans” (aka semolina-dusted soybean fillets with tomato-stuffed zucchini flowers and tapenade). Port Phillip Estate is in rather good company on this list, alongside Australia’s most esteemed restaurant Attica. Head Chef Stuart Deller explains: “We take all our customers seriously. Therefore, we place the same amount of importance in sourcing and preparing fruit, vegetables, grains and nuts as we do with animal and seafood products. This allows the kitchen to offer a range of dishes to customers with dietary requirements and preferences.” www.morningtonpeninsulamagazine.com.au

Mt Eliza mum vies for The Bachelor’s heart BY ANDREA KELLETT
Alex Nation is a young mum from Mt Eliza, a model and venue manager at Benitos Restaurant Bar & Reception in Mt Eliza. She’s also a Bachelorette. The secret is officially out. On July 27 the bubbly 24-yearold was introduced to the nation as a contestant on season four of Network Ten’s top rating reality show ‘The Bachelor Australia’. By now, fans may recognise her as the venue manager from Victoria in the sparkling green gown. Many fans are already speculating that she is in with a red hot chance to win Richie Strahan’s heart. Mornington Peninsula Magazine interviewed Alex ahead of the July 27 premiere and while she couldn’t talk about the outcome, she shared some insights into why she nominated and how the 22 girls, aged between 23 and 34, got along in the mansion. For the record, viewers can expect some “crazy dynamics between the girls” that’s worth tuning in for in its own right. “It’s a house full of girls who have so many different personalities and we’re all different,” Alex explains. “For the most part, I got along with nearly everyone. When it came to the drama, I tried to stay out of it as much as possible.” Richie takes centre stage as the bachelor looking for love, after last year starring on ‘The Bachelorette Australia’

where he failed to win Sam Frost’s heart in the emotional penultimate episode and left the mansion without a rose. Enter Alex, mother to Elijah, 5, who has always followed her head and has decided it is now time to follow her heart. She is looking for a down-to-earth man who can make her laugh and doesn’t take life too seriously. And, although it’s hard to believe, she had never watched an episode of The Bachelor until she signed up! “I’d never seen The Bachelor or The Bachelorette because I don’t watch much telly. My girlfriends love the show. I went in pretty blind,” she said. An advertisement for the show popped up on her screen while she was checking out news on Network Ten online: “It was a spontaneous decision!” she said. Alex is keeping her cards close, but describes her experience on the show as a positive one. “It’s interesting dating someone along with 21 other girls,” she said. “I absolutely loved the experience.” Season four of The Bachelor airs on Channel 10 at 7.30pm Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Angela Cleland has Mornington in her DNA. It’s only natural when you are the daughter of a Mornington racehorse trainer, virtually raised trackside, schooled locally and later appointed manager at Mornington Racecourse. “My Dad (Russell Cleland) was a horse trainer and I grew up in racing, I grew up around the track. I remember Racecourse Rd being a dirt road and riding around paddocks where all the houses are now,’’ she says over a coffee. Angela is also many other things. She’s an accountant and the new director of operations and industry relations at Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism (MPRT). “Most people don’t realise I’m an accountant!” she says. “I did my time at KPMG in the city and I loved it, but I made the choice to move back here.” This self-confessed “people person” is now at the forefront of developing tourism on the Mornington Peninsula.
Hers is a new role at MPRT and in the few short months since her arrival the authority has created a drop-in centre/headquarters for the industry at the Coolstores precinct in Moorooduc. It’s a far cry from the corporate city job, but as she speaks it becomes obvious why she’s perfect for this role. There is a synergy between her passion for the peninsula, her accountant’s brain and her outgoing personality. “We’re so lucky to live here,” she says. Then the statistics start to flow. “This year we won a record haul of the country’s tourism awards at the Australian Tourism Awards so it’s a pretty special place when you think about that. And last year we had 6 million tourists come into the region so we get good visitation.” Right now Angela is working on an event strategy for the region. She’s also living the dream. “To get a job that you love, be passionate about and it’s five minutes from home (which, by the way, is not far from the racecourse) is the gold at the end of the rainbow,” she says.

Two Mornington Peninsula homes have been recognised at this year’s Victorian Architecture Awards – one in Mt Martha and one on Oliver’s Hill.
Split House, by BKK Architects, was awarded a commendation in the ‘Residential Architecture – New’ category; and Chamfer House, by Mihaly Slocombe, was awarded a commendation in the ‘Residential Architecture - Houses (Alterations and Additions)’ category. The winners and commendations were announced at a gala event at the Docklands. Split House is set within a relatively recent subdivision on the side of Mt Martha. Chamfer House sits within an established garden on Oliver’s Hill - a crucible of late modernism overlooking Port Phillip Bay. The Victorian Architecture Awards recognise and reward the innovative work of architects.

and material fees. The program is called SMP Connect and has now helped more than 69 females and 31 males, with 43 people being under 20 years old. Sixty students came from Rye and Rosebud and the remaining students were from surrounding regions. Many students were single mothers escaping domestic violence, people surviving on disability pensions or young people with minimal family support, while some simply need assistance to retrain and re-enter the workforce. Many were referred from local Community Service Providers such as Anglicare and Centrelink and had case management support. SMP Connect has changed lives, with many participants

SMP Connect has been a success due to the support of the local community including the Rye/Rosebud Bendigo Bank, Mornington Peninsula Shire, the George Hicks Foundation, the Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento Rotary clubs, the Southern Peninsula Community Fund, All Saints Anglican and Rye and District Opportunity shops and the Rosebud Rye RSL and Rye Lions Clubs. It is a community program that deserves to celebrate its 100th milestone. SMP Connect is now looking forward to supporting many more locals gain a valuable education at Chisholm Institute in the near future.

Baluk Arts’ artist Lisa Waup has been selected to represent Victoria in this year’s Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award (NATSIAA), held at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory in Darwin. This is Australia’s leading national prize for Indigenous art and Waup has been chosen from 75 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists nationally. Lisa was separated from her Gunditjmara and Torres Islander family at a young age. After completing a Bachelor of Arts at RMIT and developing an affinity with Melanesian culture (through living in Papua New Guinea), she began creating work made from multiple layers and pieces that symbolise layers of history and story. Her detailed stitching symbolises reattaching the fragments and her three dimensional works are created
from paper and distinctive weaving techniques. “I’ve always collected feathers. They represent a replacement of ancestral Indigenous history that is unknown and lost and are tangible pieces of cultural information” she says. Her emu feather baskets contain interwoven local feathers with seeds, stones and fur and have been “soul defining to create”. Her culture basket is inspired by spirit or poison bags from Papua New Guinea and symbolised justice, healing, peace and connection defining time and place. Baluk Arts has also been invited to be the only Victorian Aboriginal Arts Centre represented at the Darwin Art Fair (showcasing 60 art centres from around Australia and representing over 2000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists) which coincides with the announcement of the Telstra Award winners and exhibition opening. The Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award runs from August 5 - October 30.

Is your little one big enough to go to school? All parents want to make sure their child makes a successful start to school, but you may be unsure if your child is ready. Students in Victoria can start school as young as four years old, a typical Prep class may have children whose ages range from four to six years.

Research shows that children’s early learning experiences play a significant role in forming their brain for the future. Mandy Whitworth, Head of Wardle House, says “A young child needs the time to develop, play, create, wonder and enjoy in their early years of life. The first year of school can be emotionally, physically and mentally demanding even for the most ready child”. “Some people believe that school readiness is about being able to read, write or count, however these abilities are not necessarily a priority for school readiness”, she continues. “Education is a journey of discovery, mastery and exploration and it shouldn’t be viewed as a race
to be won. Emotional and social maturity, such as the ability to deal with separation, to show initiative, to demonstrate interest and to play alongside others are important foundations for readiness”. “When it comes time to start school all parents want their children to thrive and flourish. School has new challenges such as the ability to concentrate, to deal with frustration,
to follow instructions, to express needs, to demonstrate self-help skills and to participate in small groups so having the fundamentals of emotional and social maturity is beneficial”. “There is no long-term research that shows disadvantages in starting school a little older or earlier, but I believe the trend of considering if your child has the necessary social skills to start school is a sensible one. It is a significant shift from the assumption that all children are ready to start at the same time! Our experienced Preschool teachers will offer you helpful advice about school readiness and provide our Prep teachers with all the information they need to help your child make a smooth transition”. “I always encourage parents to visit our school to meet me, our teachers and students. I welcome you to tour Toorak College on a school day, so that you and your child can experience our school in action”. Call 9788 7234 to book your tour today or visit www.toorakcollege.vic. edu.au

Well, here it is: A movie about Mornington gynecologist and obstetrician Dr Andrew Griffiths’ maiden Sydney to Hobart yacht race will be screened on August 15 at Mornington Cinema to raise funds for the new Special Care Nursery at The Bays Hospital (the night starts with a cocktail function at The Rocks Mornington). Fully n Pushing - A tale of the Hobart is an epic movie about an inexperienced crew taking on one of the most treacherous yacht races of all - the Sydney to Hobart. All funds raised at the event will purchase much-needed equipment for the new Special Care Nursery. The event is supported by the Mornington Yacht Club, Harcourts Mornington, The Rocks Mornington and Mornington Cinemas.

It is considered one of the finest in the country and with a fast-growing regional population, it is expanding its midwifery services to ensure more local babies get off to a great start in life. Due for completion late 2016, the new Maternity Unit will feature 10 purpose-built
maternity rooms, three birthing suites and a larger Special Care Nursery with extra cots and stateof-the art equipment.

Overcoming adversity through hot springs bathing The link between hot springs bathing and the benefits to physical and emotional wellbeing are of paramount importance at Peninsula Hot Springs. CEO and co-founder of Peninsula Hot Springs Charles Davidson explains. “We are increasingly being recognised as a destination for regular therapy of balneology for everything from back pain to depression. The Mental Health Australia Friendship now signifies our involvement beyond creating the beneficial experiences to include PHS advocacy, education and research for both mental and physical wellbeing.”

Megan Tucker’s story exemplifies the above. She was an active 26-year-old whose life was turned upside down after a bike accident resulting in a serious leg injury five days before she moved to the peninsula. After spending 12 days in acute care at the Royal Melbourne Hospital followed by 16 days at Camberwell Epworth Rehabilitation learning how to walk again, she told her mum she wished she was floating in the water at Peninsula Hot Springs. When she returned home her mum surprised her with a gift of 10 bathing passes and the rest of the story gets really interesting. Megan says; “Aside from the physical benefits of bathing, perhaps the way the hot springs has helped me recover most has been emotionally. The calming environment of
the springs set amongst beautiful tea-trees with those sparkling fairy lights has given me the space to grieve and cry, regroup and continue on”. If you’re searching for a way to recover or release stress, try Peninsula Hot Springs. In support of their partnership with Mental Health Australia, they are currently donating the cost of one Bath House bathing entry when you book two off peak Bath House bathing entries.

Sam O’Connell is on a rocket fuelled ride and has no intention of getting off. This 19-yearold Mt Martha local has got the vocals of a well-seasoned singer – his voice sort of croons and melts out all over your mind and body – although he’s never had any lessons and started pumping out tunes on Facebook. His first EP Down the Line is a ripper and is available on iTunes (and is distributed online through DITTO). You can also pick up a copy at one of his many gigs around town. “I’ve sold 60 EPs so far” says Sam, who is everything a young folk muso should be – shoulder-length hair, cute quirky face and a dishevelled but earnest demeanour. “I was brought up on folk music. Dad is Irish, so listening to Irish folk” (and the John Butler Trio) “was normal in our house”, which he shared with his two brothers and parents. “I used to play soccer but busted my knee in 2014. I was out of action for three months and turned to music. I’m influenced by artists like Matt Corby, Passenger, Ziggy Alberts and Mumford & Sons - folk singer songwriters who tell a story.” So this is how Sam’s story goes… He’s completed a Diploma in Community Recreation and may be a primary
school teacher in the future, has written and performed 10 songs since deciding music is the thing for him, plays guitar, ukulele and banjo, has performed at the now demolished Harba, God’s Kitchen and MOTH, his first single I’m not ok has had some radio play and he’s off on a solo tour to Perth this month. So what’s the secret to getting so exposed so quickly? “I entered a Bank of Melbourne Competition with I’m not ok in 2015. There were over 350 entrants and I got accepted to the top 12. People logged onto a website and voted for the artist they thought should win - and I got down to the top four in Victoria. The song got some radio play on PBS and I went into the studio with the three other finalists to sing live. It was cool. I’ve sort of been busy since then.” And that’s the way he likes it. “All I want to do now is write songs and play music.” Budha Lilino at 100% Entertainment takes care of his promotions and Sam’s not looking back. Dividing his time between girl-friend Molly Wainwright and friends, wrestling (he loves WWE), and writing and performing suits him just fine. I ask him if things aren’t happening too fast. “I’m ok. I love it. This is what I’m meant to be doing.” Ride on Sam…ride on. FB: www.facebook.com/samoconnellmusic Soundcloud: www.soundcloud.com/samoconnellmusic iTunes: https://itun.es/au/dPvKdb

my trip to Africa . . . There’s one word to describe Africa - WOW! From the breathtaking scenery to the incredible animals, this country never ceases to enthral and excite. During a recent visit I stayed at Londolozi lodge and my time there was nothing short of amazing. The lodge is on private land bordering Kruger National Park and to get there we drive through the game park. On the way we spot a cheetah – a rare site, according to our guide. There are two game drives daily and we set off on our first at 4pm, full of anticipation. We were not disappointed. Along the way we encounter a pond full of hippos, three leopards and a 250kg male lion at a buffalo kill just two metres from us. To see this wild

Rosebud girls just love playing footy! BY LIZ ROGERS
Girls’ footy is alive and kicking in Rosebud. The Rosebud Women’s Football Club has become bigger and better since we covered the story in 2015. The number of registrations has soared to 35 for the over 18s open age team, and there’s a women’s youth team and junior club for 15, 16 and 17 year olds. The seniors train twice a week during footy season while the younger girls train once a week and games are currently played on Sundays at Olympic Park in Rosebud where fun is the main game. There’s always something to do after the siren sounds like aftergame award ceremonies, dress-up nights, mid-season balls and an army of volunteers serve around 130 meals every Thursday night after training. Next year AFL Southeast is taking

over the running of the league so the Rosebud ‘Buds’ will be playing against teams from up and down bayside (think Mornington, Mt Eliza, Dromana and Rye). Games will be played on Saturdays with the boys (there are two ovals at Olympic Park), to offer punters a real chance to see what the ladies can do and encourage community spirit. The Rosebud Women’s Football and Netball Club serves as a real reminder on how much we love our sport and what the community is prepared to do to ensure it continues. With four netball teams and three footy teams, the girls are giving it their best shot and are sponsored through Smash FM and Mornington Jeep.

Memoir Man
A BEST-SELLING writer is launching a new venture to capture the memoirs of Peninsula folk. Memoir Man is the idea of Neil Bramwell, who has sold more than a quarter of a million books with HarperCollins, including a number one best-seller. “Everyone has a story to tell,” he says. “But these precious insights into a person’s life are so often lost to future generations. “Memoir Man provides the chance to leave a priceless legacy – it’s your story, captured forever.” Having moved to Mt Eliza last year, Neil was struck by the depth of characters from so many different walks of life found living in the region. “Memoir Man is perfect for business leaders, sportsmen and women, politicians, entertainers or scientists – anyone with a successful career. “But it is just as relevant for people who have simply lived fulfilling, eventful and purposeful lives. “This is the perfect way to ensure your values, opinions and achievements are never lost to your family or organisation.” Neil started his career as a sports journalist and his first ghost-written work, the autobiography of sporting icon and celebrity Carl Fogarty, went straight to the top of the book charts in the UK.
your story, forever
The memoirs are compiled through a series of taped one-to-one interviews and individually tailored packages range from a simple digital copy all the way through to a professionally designed and printed edition.
Pictured above: Neil with motorbike racing world champion Carl Fogarty at the launch of the best-selling ‘Foggy’ in 2000
“It’s a rewarding, enjoyable and occasionally cathartic process and the best results reflect the time and effort needed to do proper justice to the subject,” Neil adds. “A package can be bought as a present for a significant birthday, for Christmas or on retirement. The books are also often used for ongoing promotion of businesses or not-for-profit organisations.” For more details visit www.thememoirman.com or call Neil on 0488 022 118 and email at neil.bramwell@virgin.net Mention Mornington Peninsula Magazine for an early bird 10% discount for the first five clients.

she was driven by irresistible weather onto the northwest coast of King Island. At around daybreak she struck rocks, bilged and heeled over to seaward. Considering the intensity of the storm and the huge surf it is remarkable that only two lives were lost, as both boats which were launched were quickly swamped. After repairing one of the boats, the captain and seven crew set out for Port Phillip and reached Point Lonsdale around midday on Friday June 15 in just over 24 hours. On Saturday evening, the steamer Corio left Melbourne and was back in port by midday on Tuesday with the survivors from the Whistler and from the brig Maypo. The brig had been wrecked 8km to the north, on the same stretch of coast, about two hours before the clipper, with the loss of four lives. The third vessel lost in the same storms was the schooner Elizabeth Mason. Bound for Geelong from New Zealand she was wrecked, without loss of life, on an island to the southeast of Wilson’s Promontory. The anchor of the Whistler was recovered by divers in the 1950s and can now be seen outside the Maritime Museum in Hobart.

Visitors and residents of the village are invited to brush off your heirlooms and join in the fun by bringing items for appraisal by antiques and fine art specialists Sally Upjohn and Tim Pitcher. “Many of our residents love the BBC iconic program Antiques Roadshow, so we felt Antiques in the Attic was a perfect event for collectors, those with a family treasure they had always wondered about and those who just like to look,” said Andrew Philip. RCA’s Managing Director. “The Clubhouses in RCA Villages lend themselves large scale events, and after the overwhelming success of our first Antiques in the Attic event at our newest village in the western suburbs, we are rolling it out to our established villages.” Specialists Tim Pitcher and Sally Upjohn have both worked variously for major houses and have expertise in a range of categories. During the morning, each
exhibitor will have a chance to speak to them about their items and the stories behind them. “There were a few standout items at our first show,” Tim said. “A 1929 Rene Lalique glass perche car mascot ($800-$1,200), a very nice example of a Japanese mixed metal vase ($4,000-$6,000) and a small heart shaped pendant made from metal recovered from a WW1 zeppelin that crashed in 1916 come to mind. At the right auction and with provenance, the latter could sell for as much as $5,000!” Throughout the morning, guests will enjoy complimentary catering, and the day concludes with a delicious boxed lunch.
To register your attendance please call (03) 99886023 To register your items for appraisal please email: antiques@rcavillages.com.au Beleura Village Mornington: 107 Bungower Road Mornington VIC 3931

PENINSULA PARENTING
A new approach sets up Year 5 at The Peninsula School In 2015, The Peninsula School acknowledged the research and their own experience of pre-adolescents and developed a new leading-edge Middle Years program, Becoming Me. The Years 5 to 8 program is specifically designed to meet the emotional, social and physical needs of students as they progress through this critical life stage. In January 2016, Year 5 was the first year level at the School to commence the new program and with one semester completed, there is much to talk about. Smaller classes sizes; explicit positive psychology classes; specialist science, music and arts classes; Year 5 Band; a purpose-built Year 5 area; and targeted teaching where every teacher knows each student, what motivates them and what they need to succeed all contribute to an impressive learning environment where students learn, grow and flourish. “We now know more about this age group than perhaps ever before, so it’s time we did things differently,” explained Principal, Mr Stuart Johnston. Ten-year-old Liza Peacock came to The Peninsula School this year and is thriving in the Year 5 program. “The teachers are very helpful and always willing to help you learn,” she said. “At Peninsula you can learn so much about yourself - I definitely have. I’ve learnt about character strengths that I never knew I had.” While Liza enjoys the classroom activity of the new Year 5 program, she’s equally excited by the extracurricular activities. “There are so many great opportunities like Compass which is a badge award activity, Chess Club, playing instruments and sport activities like House Cross Country, Swimming and Athletics!” Liza explained. In fact, Liza is a big fan of sport and being active. “The facilities are great - we have a big gym and a massive oval where we can run and play and so much more. I think it’s all great,” she concludes. There are limited places available to enter this leading-edge Year 5 program in 2017. Contact The Peninsula School on 9788 7777 for more information.

Drew Cooper and his edible garden
BY LIZ ROGERS environment. The peninsula allows me to spend time in a diverse range of landscapes both at work and play, and never too far from the ocean - perfect for raising a family. Describe your style. I focus on low impact and natural approaches to designing gardens. I suppose “contemporary rustic” may be a way to describe the style. Functionality, ease of maintenance and of course optimum productivity are all important garden design outcomes. Do you cook with your own home-grown produce? Absolutely. Once you get the bug it’s there for life. Our young family are all involved in the growing and harvesting of the fresh food we eat. It’s really just another part of the daily routine, albeit a very rewarding and delicious one. What are your favourite places to hang out and eat on the peninsula? We love a good picnic, whether that’s by the bay or back beach, or up under the trees in Red Hill. There are many amazing chefs and restaurants on the peninsula for those special occasions also. Too many to name.
If you’ve had any exposure to the media over the last few years you’ll know that sustainability has made a huge resurgence. Knowing where your food comes from and focusing on eating local seasonal produce is of great importance to many of the peninsula’s foodie fanatics and families alike. Drew Cooper from Edible Gardens answers some questions about why he loves living on the peninsula and how eating local is great for your body, mind and spirit. Please give the readers an overview of what you do Edible Gardens provides services to assist families and businesses to grow their own food; vegetables, herbs, fruits, nuts and chickens. We design, consult, landscape and maintain gardens on the southern peninsula, with particular focus on sensible and sustainable gardening. What is your first memory of being in the garden and feeling happy? My grandparents grew most of their fruit and veggies in Melbourne and my earliest memories of gardening were hanging out in the garden with my Pop. I still reflect on those days quite frequently and am really glad I had that

exposure from a young age. All kids should. Did you make mud pies when you were a kid? Growing up spending much of my time at the ocean, we probably made more sand pies than mud pies! What is the most rewarding part of your job/ career? When clients grow their first successful crops and get that glimpse of how it can change the way you view and consume food. It’s nice to know that sharing knowledge can help make a difference. Beauty verses productive gardens - can edible gardens be beautiful as well? Of course, and both are equally important. A garden needs to draw you in if it is going to be successful and sustainable, and a beautiful aesthetic is the best way to do that. Why live on the peninsula? I have always been drawn to a coastal, semi-rural
What advice can you give to someone who loves the idea of growing their own produce but doesn’t know where to start? As with everything these days, there is endless information about gardening in circulation. With a small amount of knowledge and inspiration, the best way is to get in and give it a go. I learnt from making many mistakes and the more you make the more you will succeed. Favourite peninsula produce markets? Our family frequent the community markets that do the rounds each weekend on the southern peninsula. The Red Hill Market and Emu Plains are both amazing during the warmer months. Please comment on the peninsula’s farm gate foodie phenomenon The diversity and quality of the produce coming from the myriad of farm gates on the peninsula is astounding. You can purchase most of your food requirements locally now. We purchase local meats, cheeses and any additional fruit and vegetables we require. Look out for the new MPP (Mornington Peninsula Produce) branding. Any local websites you could recommend for readers who want to know more about edible gardening? www.sgaonline.org.au and www.ediblegardens.com.au

Dromana is the kind of place that once you visit you keep coming back. Maybe it’s because it’s quaint and quirky and never seems to divert from its wonderful small seaside town roots even while developing at the rate of knots. Or maybe it’s because the people are friendly and relaxed and serve you with a smile. No matter, this month’s Mornington Peninsula Magazine locale special offers you a small bite of the Dromana pie to get your mouths watering. Search through our August Dromana special section to find delicious coffee and cake or wonderful wineries and high tea. Find a top notch hairdresser or a dental surgery where family comes first. Read about wool and craft or where to find an Eco bin and landscaping materials. Schools and pearls are also on the list. Dromana hasn’t changed that much since I was a child collecting acorns and walking my way towards the foreshore with my father. That’s what I love about this blossoming town best – it feels like it did when I was a kid on summer holidays, but at the same time, has progressed. Clever Dromana. Enjoy!

Spring has almost sprung Winter is almost over and now’s the time to get your garden Spring ready by pruning trees and shrubs, clearing away dead branches & getting soil up to scratch.

Saturday May 14, 2016, at the Harvester Technical College in Sunshine. The challenge in the ‘Makerspace’ was to design a contemporary battery that had more than one use in the household. On the first day the students were required to create a mood board and complete their concept sketching and production plan. On the Saturday the competitors were required to use CAD (Computer Aided Design) to create a virtual room with the installed home battery, then finally construct a prototype using a range of materials. Fynn and Tom designed an innovative minimalist style
home battery that had the subordinate purpose of being a contemporary art piece. The students came fourth overall in the state and their prize involves taking part in a weeklong ‘Discover Design Program’ focusing on careers in design, hosted by Swinburne University in their Advanced Manufacturing and Design Centre.

weddings on the peninsula
BY ANDREA KELLETT
The Mornington Peninsula is synonymous with beautiful weddings. And why wouldn’t it be? The peninsula is home to a breathtaking coastline, stunning wedding venues and firstclass industry professionals. According to Mornington Peninsula Weddings president Mary-Anne Brasacchio, the Mornington Peninsula is quickly becoming the Number 1 location for weddings in Victoria. “The peninsula has so much to offer that any wedding desire can be accommodated,” she explains. “The region has a great diversity of landscapes that is unmatched anywhere else in Victoria.” Wedding trends are also changing. They now take place throughout the year from Thursday to Monday and guests are staying longer – all great news for this part of the world. In this edition, Mornington Peninsula Magazine celebrates the fabulous businesses that make the peninsula such a premier wedding destination. We look at gorgeous wedding venues, caterers, accommodation, transport suppliers, photographers, celebrants, hair and make-up artists, jewellers and more. It’s all here, wedding perfection.

Here Comes the Bride The Mornington Peninsula is home to the largest wedding expo outside of Melbourne. The Mornington Peninsula Weddings Association (MPW) recently held a hugely successful Wedding Expo in Mornington and hundreds of couples attended. It was the industry group’s fourth expo and the evergrowing popularity of the event is no surprise to president Mary-Anne Brasacchio. “The Mornington Peninsula is fast becoming the Number 1 location for weddings in Victoria,” she said. “The peninsula has so much to offer that any wedding desire can be accommodated. The region has a great diversity of landscapes that is unmatched anywhere else in Victoria.” The Wedding Expo attracted more than 300 couples who were able to obtain all the information and inspiration needed to assist in organising their dream wedding day. The expo showcased local venues, caterers, accommodation, transport suppliers, stylists, photographers, celebrants, entertainment, hair and
make-up artists and attire options. “The wedding industry is a fast growing sector of the local economy and now accounts for $100m worth of business every year,” Mary-Anne said. “The MPW group is comprised of local, independent businesses who work together to provide a premium service to the bridal couple for their special day.” Mary-Anne said wedding trends were changing. “Weddings are now occurring from Thursday to Monday throughout the year, rather than just OctoberApril. Guests are staying longer to the point where accommodation is now regularly sought for 3-4 days for the bridal party, family and friends. These trends have considerable economic benefits for our region and local employment.” MPW has over 100 independent business members.

Pews to make your wedding unforgettable The outdoor wedding has become, by far, the most popular choice for the modern bride and understandably so, with the Mornington Peninsula offering some of the most beautiful beaches, gardens and countryside that rival anywhere in the word. Add to this outdoor scene a set of bespoke pews, and you have something completely unique and not seen anywhere else in Australia. Chris and Del Wilksch decided it was time to add something new to the garden wedding. After years of attending outdoor weddings, they saw the need to create seating that caters for all the guests, providing an unforgettable experience for the guests, and bridal party. “Pews bring a warmth and charm to a wedding ceremony that you just can’t get from fold-up chairs. They also allow your guests to come together rather than some sitting and some standing,” says Del. “They create an amazing isle to walk down, and
they frame the ceremony.” Chris hand built the 20 elegant antique white pews, paying close attention to aesthetics and structural detail. Open Cathedrals works closely with designers and florists to achieve your desired look and the pews are easily transported to wherever they need to go - think gardens, backyards or even the beach. Because they are strong and sturdy they can be placed on most outdoor surfaces with confidence. “Open Cathedrals pews bring the wow factor to the day,” says Del. “Getting married is one of the biggest events in your life, so you want it to be as memorable and unique as possible.” Situated in Frankston South, Del and Chris are only a short drive away from anywhere on the peninsula. They also have a friendly team to set up and take the pews away on the day so you don’t have to worry about a thing. OPEN CATHEDRALS M: 0427 919 276 W: www.opencathedrals.com.au

They met and formed in 2015 while on tour with the Australian International Opera Company. They bring together 25 years’ experience and perform across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.

With Spring just around the corner, she chats with Mornington Peninsula Magazine about what she does: “I have always loved working with couples looking at getting married on the Peninsula because from the beginning they are most often looking to the calm pace and picturesque views of the region to set the vibe for their day,” she says. “There is such diversity here, from waterfront to rural and everything in between.” Lisa is “as involved or uninvolved” as her client needs her to be. She has even been a wedding gift to a couple. “I was a gift from the mother of the bride, who just didn’t want her delegating to friends who she should be enjoying the week of her wedding with,” she says. Lisa works as an on-the-day coordinator with a limited number of clients per season and keeps busy hiring out
her props such as giant light up LOVE letters and photo booths too. The biggest challenge for this professional wedding coordinator is getting past a person’s perception of including a ‘wedding planner’. “We refer to me as the ‘on-the-day coordinator’, or ‘wedding whisperer’ (laughs), then my brides just love being a week out from their wedding and free of their to-do list and enjoying precious time with family and friends!” she explains. Her claim to fame? Seamless coordination of every element of countless weddings and events, including raving reviews from the likes of Australian of the Year (2015) Rosie Batty, and Mrs and Mr Jimmy Giggle. Contact Lisa for a free consultation. Book a free consultation before September 30, 2016, and you could WIN A FREE PHOTO BOOTH HIRE for your wedding day.

Perfect touch of humour
In the year 2009, Ken and his wife Barbie attended a wedding on a glorious summer’s day, in a leafy park in Balwyn. “I admired the celebrant who had an engaging and very relaxed manner. I whispered to my wife, ‘I reckon I could be a celebrant’. It was at that moment in time that I decided to pursue a career as a civil celebrant. I understand the importance of a touch of humour throughout a ceremony, without going over the top. I have always loved meeting people and the sense of the occasion is why I love being a celebrant.” IT’S YOUR DAY CEREMONIES Ken: 0416 808 448 E: ken@itsyourdayceremonies.com.au.

Are you wearing your regrets? We all have regrets. Don’t let your skin show yours. This is the slogan behind Peninsula Tattoo Removal - the Mornington Peninsula’s hot new laser tattoo removal clinic - and owner Julia Roscoe is deadly serious about the message behind it. She says there’s no reason to live with an unwanted tattoo when it can be professionally faded, changed or removed: “A lot of people might fade a name or turn the design into something else. We can target small sections and large ones.” Julia is ambitious (her goal is to establish Peninsula Tattoo Removal as the most reputable and reliable tattoo removalist on the peninsula), professional (she insists on recommended downtime between sessions) and hers is an exacting science. “We are professionally trained laser technicians and are also highly educated in the science and use of lasers,” she explains. “We focus AUGUST 2016 (57)
exclusively on tattoo removal, specialising not just in the treatment, but also the science behind it.” Peninsula Tattoo Removal can remove tattoos containing black, dark and light blue, green and red pigments by matching the colour of the laser to the colour of the unwanted tattoo ink. They use the most advanced laser technology available and offer free consultations.

With her ongoing commitment to research and training, Sue Verheyen - qualified skin and laser technician from Advanced Skin & Laser (IPL Clinic) - has recently returned from the USA, keeping up to date with laser, IPL and skin ingredients. Sue says: “Therapists must know the very latest technologies and evidence-based treatments worldwide and make sure which ones really deliver - not only attending a convention, but also small class training and certification on aspects of skincare maintenance.” Sue has always liaised with medical professionals about skin cancers and other questionable skin problems. She steers clients back to their doctors regarding questionable skin lesions. It is now time to book an appointment to freshen your skin, remove your sun damage safely, rid yourself of your redness, in the hands of professionals with over 17 years’ laser and IPL experience, and experience in skin procedures such as medical grade peels, skin tag removal and pigmentation.

With your next peeling treatment, try the NEW BIOPTRON SYSTEM - a patented light therapy medical device with a specific optical unit emitting light. When the BIOPTRON device is held over the skin surface, energy from the emitted light penetrates the underlying layers. It is used primarily for acne, scarring, skin discoloration, skin repair and rejuventation. Ask for Adelle. Sue also insists it is important your medical facility has qualified clinical practitioners and doctors. At Anti-Aging & Associates (5 Old Mornington Rd, Mt Eliza) Dr Romero and all practitioners have been looking after their peninsula clients for more than 10 years.

Hair On Barkly has a new look. It’s fresh, stylish and ready to rock. The doors have opened on a stunning new space after a major winter renovation. Owner Nonie has gutted and renovated the interior and the result is a contemporary space with a relaxed feel, perfect for enjoying that much-needed ‘me time’ in gorgeous surrounds. “I want my clients to feel relaxed and that’s what I’ve tried to achieve, with classic styling,” she explains. “We also offer Barista coffee from our Beveridge menu”. Nonie has worked at Hair On Barkly since 2002, owned it since 2010 and has been itching to give it a glamorous makeover ever since. She’s done it and bought locally where possible, right down to the mirrors, flooring and even the foot rails. The team at Hair On Barkly pride themselves on providing professional, friendly service and they use quality professional products. “Are you on the front line, the first person your customer sees? Or, you might be a busy working mum just like me, or a busy stay-at-home mum (medal material), time poor and frustrated with the cheap option or the high-end treatment that is just not sustainable. We have a couple of very clever options available that can fit your budget,” Nonie says. Hair On Barkly is open Monday to Saturday from 9am and closing hours vary. Nonie is looking for a new member to join the busy team part time, and for expressions of interest from hairdressers with their own clientele looking to share the space. If you are looking for a nice change and you make an appointment during August, as a thank you gift for giving Hair On Barkly a try, new clients can choose a take-home product from their range FREE* HAIR ON BARKLY A: Shop 3/64 Barkly St, Mornington W: www.haironbarkly.com.au T: 5975 2397 *some items exempt

More from our series by Jess Jones of Soar Collective. To bring some helpful tips for your business and talk about the exciting innovations of Soar Collective.
Three steps to really get to know your customers Let’s start at the beginning. Now this is something so many people surprisingly seem to skip over. They may come up with a fantastic idea for a product or service but not be clear on who it’s for. You may know the problem you’re solving, but aren’t decided on who your target market actually is. 1. G o back to the beginning and take a look at your target market’s demographics. If you don’t have this sort of information, get it! It’s ideal to know at the very least their age, location, household income, who they live with or if they live alone and their occupation.
2. T hen dig a little deeper and find out their psychographics. These are your customers’ values, their wants and needs. It’s looking at how they spend their free time, what keeps them up at night and what’s most important to them. Find out what makes them tick so you can tailor your content accordingly. These are definitely tougher details to get a hold of but you can do so through surveys, asking questions on social media, testing particular advertisements or promotions and measuring the response. 3. O nce you have the above information, you’ll find it a lot easier to develop the right ways to communicate with your customers. Spend time where they are, do your research, be clear on your message and deliver customised content that will speak to your audience and help solve their problems.

Money. It ‘makes the world go round’ and we’re all earning, saving or spending it, but are we managing it well? Financial planning might not top your priority list but spend a few minutes with a qualified financial planner like James Holt, director of Havelock Wealth Management in Mornington, and you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. His is the business of maximising clients’ financial positions. He provides advice on wealth creation through investment, retirement planning and transition to retirement, personal and family income protection, superannuation, tax minimisation strategies, cash flow, budgeting and estate planning.

KICK START YOUR BUSINESS Anyone who has ever considered starting their own small business will be able to find answers to all their questions during this month’s Small Business Festival.

Where it’s at BY LIZ ROGERS
Man there’s some musical talent on the peninsula and Young Vincent is no exception. This trio of 22-year-old peninsula locals have been doing shows around Melbourne since 2014 and have recently launched their fourth single ‘Run’ (written by Josh Walton) on iTunes. I’m chatting with them via mobile phone – they are in Sydney – and in between the reverb/echo, missed conversation and chuckling – come voices filled with excitement, harmony and gratitude. You can tell Tom Simpson and Ryan fellows (Josh Walton is absent) have known each other for a while and enjoy what they are doing (Tom and Ryan met each other at Woodleigh in Moorooduc and Josh went to Flinders College in Tyabb). “I suppose you’d call us an Indie or alternative folk band. We launched two singles ‘A Fairy Tale’ and ‘Grow’ in 2014 and ‘Days’ in 2015 which sold out at the launch. We’ve always played music and work out of a studio/shed in Mt Martha. It’s all very local and relaxed. The best part is we get to do it with our mates”, says Tom. Harmony is where it’s at with this talented band. Their songs are full of melody and
AUGUST 2016 (57)
music created with voice and instrument, plus their lyrics make real sense and tell stories of love and life. ‘Run’ is heading in a slightly different direction for this three-piece ensemble and is produced by Colin Leadbetter at Sing Sing Music Production and of Whitley and Katie Noonan fame. “Touring in 2015 with Woodlock was so much fun and having our single ‘Days’ sell out was amazing. Our up-coming tour around Australia is going to be epic” continues Ryan. ‘Run’ is being launched in Melbourne at The Toff in Town on August 27 with special guests Neighbour and Jack the Fox and is shaping
up to be an event not to be missed for anyone who loves music from the likes of Fleet Fox, The Paper Kites or Angus Stone. The guys in Young Vincent originally got together with the hope of raising some cash for the homeless in Frankston and have developed into a band of substance and ability. With airplay on RRR, JJJ Unearthed and others, the peninsula alternative folk scene is well represented - or shall I say – it’s where it’s at.

A Gentle, Ethereal Reflection On Paper Of The Elegance Of Female Form
Frankston Arts Centre and ATA Allstars Artists bring you the exhilarating ‘Shadowland’ from world-renowned Pilobolus Dance Theatre. This astounding combination of musicality, projected images and acrobatic dance choreography is daringly dramatic and hugely comedic. A global sensation, Pilobolus has been experienced by more than half a million people and was featured on ‘The Academy Awards’, ‘Ellen’ and ‘Oprah’. This is a magical coming-of-age story as a teenage girl is transported by the shadows lurking behind her bedroom wall into a dreamlike land. With a brilliantly conceived script by Steven Banks - lead writer for SpongeBob SquarePants - this fusion of dance and poetry features multiple moving screens and an original score by popular American musician, producer, and film composer David Poe. Coming to Frankston Arts Centre for one night only on Tuesday, August 16, at 7.30pm, this is one show you simply must see.

Woolumbi Farm Produce Store in Tyabb stocks only the best quality and freshest produce. Everything in-store is either grown, bred and made right on the farm and you can’t get more delicious (and healthy) than that. Their fruit and veg is bought in from organic farmers. This organic boutique farm was founded on ethical food principles. That means you’ll find rare breeds of free range animals and chickens that you won’t necessarily find anywhere else. All animals are butchered on-site by owner Sonya Neff (yes, a female butcher who loves learning everything about the animal) with care and responsibility to create the most delicious range of gourmet smallgoods on the Peninsula. There’s a fabulous smoke house too where speciality hotdogs, cabana, and
German continental sausages are created. The Woolumbi farm range of Christmas hams and bacon were an absolute Peninsula hit. “Woolumbi Farm is totally transparent to our customers”, says Sonya. “Kenneth and I believe it is important to know where your food comes from and how it has been grown or raised. It is also paramount that we grow our produce with respect to what it is doing to the land. We don’t use any pesticides and abide by the principles of environmental sustainability.” What this means for Woolumbi Farm customers is that each product you purchase is made with care and consideration. Gourmet gluten free sausages with no fillers, handmade jams, pickles and chutneys, artisan made salamis and Long legs cider which is pressed from pears right on the farm all come to you full of flavour and freshness.

Now here’s a reason to raise your glass - Mornington Peninsula Brewery has been selected as the Major Beer Partner for The Melbourne International Film Festival 2016-18! This year’s Festival runs until August 14 (it started July 28), showcasing the best in current cinema from around the world and it is THE platform for Australian cinema. General Manager Matt Bebe says it’s a perfect pairing: “Like MIFF, Mornington beer is for the discerning audience and gathers inspiration from
Every coffee table, public bar and man cave on the planet deserves this book. Sixty-five of the world’s most breathtakingly bizarre brews have been assembled for Brewed With Balls (Affirm Press) – the most perfect companion to a cold frothy one since salted peanuts. There’s a short and highly entertaining description of the ingredients or brewing technique that sets each beer apart from the (six-) pack, and at the back of the book is a list of all the breweries featured and a link to their homepages so you can go straight to the sauce … err, source. Collagen, Redskins, hemp, squid ink … even pizzas and key lime pies have found their way into a beer somewhere. Bulls have given their testicles and goats their brains in the name of beer (the latter, inspired by The Walking Dead, is appropriately called Walker and reportedly prompted a phone call from one of the show’s producers keen for a taste). There are beers made with coffee from beans that have passed through the digestive tracts of civet cats and elephants. There’s one containing barley grown on the International Space Station (for a truly out-of-this-world taste, presumably) and another that was designed to be consumed in space (low

across the globe to create a true craft product.” Mornington beer will be available at cinema venues during the festival and throughout the city at many of the Food & Film partner venues. Several Food & Film Partners are offering food and drink specials to ticket holders. Here’s the list of Food & Film Partners stocking Mornington beers: The Black Hearts Club at MIFF, Belleville, Bomba Bar, Boney, Cookie, Embla, Emelia Trattoria, Fukuryu Ramen, Gingerboy, Harley House, Longrain, Meatmaiden, Movida, Nieuw Amsterdam, Pei Modern, Section 8, Sun Moth, The Carlton Club, Loop Bar and

Matso’s Broome Brewery produced its face-melting Chilli Beer for the 2013 Fremantle Chilli Festival after “ruthlessly” infusing it with a secret super chilli oil, while Scotland’s Brewmeister unleashed Snake Venom with a coma-inducing 67.5% alcohol content. Lost Rhino’s Bone Dusters Amber Ale uses yeast recovered from a 35 million-year-old fossilised whale bone, while Rogue Ales took its yeast from the beard of brewer John Maier. One of the strangest beers is Brewdog’s The End Of History. Only 12 bottles were produced, and each was packaged in its own grotesque stubby-holder: the body of a stoat or squirrel (all roadkill, the Scottish brewery says). Much more animal-friendly is Nail Brewing’s Antarctic Nail Ale, whose 30 limited-edition bottles contained water sourced from a chunk of iceberg. Each bottle sold at auction for more than $800 (and one fetched more than twice that) and all proceeds went to the Sea Shepherd’s whale conservation program. The writing in Brewed With Balls is as refreshing and effervescent as a southern German wheat beer, and at $19.99 it’s less than the cost of a slab and guaranteed to put just as big a smile on your dial ...

Sale of the century in Mt Eliza ‘Moondah’ – a sprawling 8.9 hectare beachfront estate in Mt Eliza founded by the descendant of a wealthy European settler, frequented by Victoria’s high society and the scene of lavish garden parties and soirees dating back to the late 1800s – is for sale. It is a significant move by owner Melbourne Business School, which plans to move all its executive education programs to new state-ofthe-art facilities at its Carlton campus. The magnificent property has changed hands only a few times since James Grice bought it in 1888 and built an opulent Victorian residence of 42 rooms overlooking Port Phillip Bay. It was a private residence for the influential family, complete with servants’ quarters, private vineyard and a two-storey Gothic revival-style gatehouse that still stands at the entrance. A history booklet produced in 1987 recalls the Grice family entertaining business associates and the racing fraternity with fashionable garden parties, soirees and dinner functions. “Moondah became the pivot of social life on the peninsula, reflecting the buoyant prosperity of the boom years,” it states.

BY ANDREA KELLETT The late Sir Reginald Ansett and Lady Ansett graced the great halls after Ansett Transport Industries bought the estate in 1947. ‘Moondah’ adjoins the former Ansett Estate and Sir Reginald restored the deteriorating building into a fivestar luxury hotel called Hotel Manyung. The hotel operated for about seven years and was the finest on the Mornington Peninsula in its day. The estate sold again in 1957 to the Mt Eliza Business School (MEBS), formerly known as the Australian Administrative Staff College, and was restored as ‘Moondah’ in 1960. Tens of thousands of students and participants have been taught at the campus over the past six decades and in 2004, Melbourne Business School became the new owner of the site, following a merger with the Mt Eliza Business School. Melbourne agent CBRE is selling via international expressions of interest and the estate includes private access to Moondah Beach, uninterrupted views across Port Phillip Bay, ownership of approximately 190m of beach frontage, 95 accommodation rooms and 203m of frontage to Kunyung Rd. In a letter to residents, School chief operating officer Marc Flipo cited changing times. “Today, our executive education clients locally, interstate and overseas are looking for business

education that is relevant, delivers demonstrable impact and is more accessible to major airports and public transport and ensures they can get back to work and their families sooner,” he wrote. “After months of deliberation, the School has decided to relocate all programs offered at Mt Eliza to dedicated new facilities at our Carlton campus, establishing a world-class centre for business education on the edge of the CBD and in the heart of Melbourne’s knowledge precinct.” ‘Moondah’ is subject to a restrictive covenant that only allows it to be used for education, religion, religious-based aged care or primary production. Melbourne Business School House Manager Mark Devlin regularly receives requests for weddings and filming at the Mt Eliza site, but most are declined. The ABC was granted rare access for two days of filming in June for a miniseries expected to air in 2017. And for those wondering which room is the piece de resistance, it’s No 15 – the grand original Grice master suite with spectacular bay views, original arched windows and a sitting room fit for a king.

Growing fresh fruit and vegetables at home is an important and enriching lifestyle choice of many of us on the Mornington Peninsula. A constant source of healthy seasonal foods is certainly a worthy dividend for the work that goes into our gardens. Most of our food plants are classed as “exotics” in botanical terms, basically meaning they are not from Australia. Europe and Asia are the origin of the majority of our vegetables, herbs and fruit plants and though we have great success in growing these food plants down here, they do require our attention. When plants are grown away from their native environment they need our help to adjust to local conditions, be it soils, water, food, pests and diseases. So we pay special attention to our edible plants so that they may provide us with all we want. In our wider gardens and landscape, we often plant “exotic” ornamental plants to provide us with structure, beauty, scent, etc. Again, many of these plants come from far away lands and require our attention to help them adjust to our local environment. Sometimes this may require significant or very regular work to maintain the health and form of particular plants. Otherwise they
may not be at their best. It is for this reason that people continue to turn to local, or indigenous, plants to enhance their landscape. Plants that belong in our soils and are adapted to our ever-changing climatic conditions will naturally require far less input, support and care than their exotic friends from abroad. Thus gardens that use a majority of indigenous plants are very much “low maintenance”. Which suits those of us who grow our own food just fine – there’s not a great deal more time we have to spend in the garden outside of tending to our crops. And it can be very costly if you have to pay for hired help! There seems to be a common misconception that our indigenous plants are a bit untidy, or dull. Most people think about the masses of tea tree on the Peninsula, or browning grasses without actually seeing the more beautifully structured plants and pretty flowering plants. We have a range of very unique and stunning trees that will grow effortlessly in our home gardens, and for a variety of purposes; screening, shade and of course aesthetics. A combination of a number of different tree species under-planted with some flowering shrubs, grasses or groundcovers can replicate some of our beautiful coastal landscapes, while a closely planted row of small evergreen trees can provide a quick low maintenance screen or wind barrier while looking good year round. Add a few strategically placed local rocks (granite or limestone), gravel paths and mulch and you can quite easily transform a tired
and maintenance intense area of your garden to something beautiful and virtually maintenance free. Another important reason for using local plants is to help maintain habitat for our local bird, mammal and insect populations. Providing shelter and food for our indigenous animals is not only the responsibility of state and federal governments…we can all do our bit by making sensible plant choices. Sure, a few exotics here and there is great and no problem at all, but if your entire landscape is made up of introduced species you may want to have a think about how you may make some changes. You may be pleasantly surprised what interesting and beautiful local (and native) plants you can access and grow down our way. If you want to see a good range of local plants suited to your property you can drop into Peninsula Plants in Fingal. They have some fine mature examples of most of our local plant range growing in their gardens. Will and his team are also happy to discuss everything from plant choices to landscape design whilst sitting amongst the gardens and plants. Well worth a look. So when you are next having to make decisions about what to plant and where, consider drawing your attention to the range of Mornington Peninsula indigenous plants. And relax.
Happy gardening. Drew Cooper, Edible Gardens www.ediblegardens.com.au
