Julianne’s Bittern the Big Apple BY KATE SEARS
As the token Australian in the Great Big Story team, Julianne Wilkinson is the producer from Bittern making it big in Manhattan. While a Bachelor of Film and Digital Media from Deakin University and a Certificate of Documentary Video Production from RMIT set her on her way, Julianne credits her Year 12 media class at Padua Mornington as a major influence on her career. “While working on my VCE media film it really hit that this was what I wanted to do for my career,” she says. “I wanted to make film. I found myself staying back after school and trying to get my edit just perfect, and that was when I realised it didn’t just feel like a class I needed to pass for my VCE, and it didn’t feel like work, which is the best kind of job to have.” Great Big Story was founded as a social video network in 2015. It makes short documentaries about incredible people and places and releases two or three new videos a week on social media. As a producer, Julianne is responsible for pitching, filming and editing. GBS started with a dozen staff and has grown to a team of more than 40. Its motto is ‘Tell me something I don’t know; show me something I’ve never seen’. That being said, her team endeavours to focus on the unknown and the curious while concentrating on creating beautifully made video productions. They’re adamant that social media platforms deserve as much effort and quality put into their videos as larger scale productions do, since these platforms tend to be the most accessed place to watch short videos. “It’s an exciting time to be at the company and we’re fortunate to have a corporate parent (CNN) that has such high hopes for us,” Julianne says. “I have had the opportunity to meet so many incredible people and see parts of America I would never have visited otherwise. I’ve seen more rural towns of America than I’m sure a lot of Americans have.” Previous work as the assistant editor for Broadway Video gained her experience in working with such high-profile clients as CNN, CBS, NBC, Comedy Central, VH1, MTV and Tidal. This followed her promotion from a receptionist’s role and internship there previously. Freelance positions in Australia for Not Half Bad Productions, All My Friends Productions and Theatrepeople gave her the encouragement to take the leap of faith over to The Big Apple. “While I was studying at Deakin University I did a semester exchange to Hunter College in New York in 2011 and, like a lot of people, instantly feel in love with the city. I was really attracted to the amount of opportunity there is here to work in the film and digital media space and how different platforms for video were being embraced in a way I wasn’t seeing yet in Australia.” Having settled into Manhattan after moving from Brooklyn (and ultimately the sleepy beach town of Bittern), Julianne misses our coffee. “I’d do just about anything for a latte from Local Café in Hastings and a walk on the beach right now,” she told Mornington Peninsula Magazine as her home town caffeine cravings became real. The noise and pace of Manhattan matches her days at work, but she relishes the time she’s on the road filming because it becomes her entire focus, instead of balancing several projects at various stages of production in the office. “Mine and GBS’s biggest fan is ultimately my mum,” Julianne says. “She comments on every post.” And finally, Julianne has some advice for anyone contemplating following her lead: “If you’ve recently graduated in a creative degree, do not be disheartened by the lack of opportunity or jobs and get out there and create your own. Make your own web show, film your own videos, put on your own play - don’t wait for someone to hire you.”

NEW R FUR ANGE NIT O URE F BED OUT ROO NOW M !
Steeped in 143 years of history, Toorak College is a school community that dreams big, strives for excellence and inspires future lives. Recently the Junior School, Wardle House, celebrated its 60th Anniversary. Celebrations commenced with a school assembly attended by special guests Mr Chris Crewther, the Federal Member for Dunkley and Mr David Morris, the State Member for Mornington and Shadow Minister for Finance. Festivities continued throughout the day with a VIP morning tea and a party in the afternoon enjoyed by students and their families with roving entertainment, music performances by students, vintage games and fun passports taking students on a historical journey of Wardle House. In the lead-up to the 60th anniversary celebrations, each junior school student designed their own ‘peg doll’. This activity originated as a competition in Wardle House throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s for students to earn points for their
Houses, and is remembered fondly by the Collegians today. Students wrote letters to Collegians asking them about the history of Wardle House; this helped to give them an understanding of the historical significance of traditions and events that they enjoy and embrace today. The Annual Beach Picnic which started in 1956 for day students to bring lunch for the boarders, the House system which provides a feeling of identity and belonging, weekly Share Assemblies, the Birthday song, House Fairs and Sharing Day are just a few. Mrs Caralyn Such, President of the Toorak Collegians, shared her adventures at Wardle House with the current students. “I grew up in Mount Eliza which was just a little country town and Wardle House was very small then. It was a bushland block, there was no play equipment so we used to build cubby houses in the tea tree. Ms Wardle was Principal of Toorak College, and Miss MacLean was Head of Junior School. “In my day there were no aerobics teams or theatre productions, but we did do ballet classes in an old wooden building called ‘The Elephant’. I remember we used to get a cooked lunch every day, which came down from the boarding house.”
Head of Wardle House, Mrs Mandy Whitworth says, “We are so proud of the warm, supportive and inclusive environment that Wardle House continues to provide. It is the traditions, values and rituals of the past that continue to make Wardle House the special place it is today.”

relationships and engage directly in a diverse range of experiences. Woodleigh has established meaningful partnerships with several Indigenous communities locally and throughout Australia; in particular, Mijwatj in northeast Arnhem Land, Ampilawatja in central Australia and Wugularr School in Beswick NT. Our Year 6 Penbank students have recently enjoyed a trip north to visit their friends at Wugularr School. The two schools have formed a strong connection over the seven years they have been visiting each other. The ‘Wugubank’ Partnership aims to develop long-term relationships, establishing trust, personal respect and connections with the view of broadening horizons for all. It is based on the premise that young children naturally interact with each other and are not unduly affected by the barriers of culture or language. Children are generally free from prejudice and simply love to play and learn. In a school setting, and through structured
and culturally respectful educational exchanges, the Wugubank Partnership enables the children from each school to understand and influence each other about their world. Our Indigenous Partnership programs help students to understand: “What does it mean to be an Indigenous Australian?” By forming an understanding of other cultures, students also learn to value their own culture and the insights, ways and understandings that they can offer others. At Woodleigh, a journey of cultural investigation begins in our Early Learning programs at both Minimbah and Penbank campuses and is embedded throughout the secondary years. We believe deeply in a culture of mutual respect. We educate students to be inclusive, collaborative and to celebrate differences. We believe that together we are empowered.

October is a significant month for Simon Imrei. The Peninsula-born and bred acoustic guitarist/vocalist is set to launch a new single, titled Let Go, and he will perform it live at the Main Street Mornington Festival on October 15. Let Go is the first single off Simon’s forthcoming album The Sum of Scenes, a double-disc collection of songs amassed over the four years since his debut album Branching Inward (2012). He’s also just finished a bunch of gigs around Melbourne, including a September residency at The Retreat Hotel in Brunswick. The official launch of Let Go is on Sunday, October 29, at Bar Open in Fitzroy and Simon will play with a full band line-up, along with special guests Delsinki Records, Brooke Taylor and Millington. Tickets are available now for pre-sale ($10+bf) at bit.ly/SimonImrei The Frankston-born, Mount Eliza-raised muso has been writing, recording and performing music since 2005. He has played live at venues large and small, including Queenscliff and Port Fairy. He splits his time between the city and ‘home’ on the Peninsula, with gigs here at Brass Razu in Main St, Mornington, the Somerville Hotel and more. The Sum of Scenes (due for release early next year) was, he explains, initially meant to be an EP, but it became much more. There’s also, he adds, a music video on the way. Let Go is available online via iTunes, Spotify & Google Play. More on Simon Imrei on Facebook (/simonimrei), Instagram (/simonimrei) and at simonimrei.com

Finding fun in the upside-down world of The Addams Family
Almost 100 Peninsula Grammar students from Years 5 to 8 have come together after school and more recently on weekends to learn lines and choreography for the much anticipated Middle Years’ production, The Addams Family. All The Addams Family characters you know and love are back in a brand new story which introduces the very normal Bieneke family and the very kooky Addams Family ancestors. Wednesday Addams, the eldest Addams child and lover of all things dark and creepy, has grown up and fallen for Lucas Bieneke, a sweet, smart young man from a normal respectable family. Head of Theatrical Productions at Peninsula Grammar, Melinda Slade, is leading the show and has taken the students on a journey which has seen them engage with the story line and embrace the often challenging choreography. “These quirky characters are being brought to life by these talented students,” an excited Melinda said. “It is such a funny show for both children and parents that will have all family members nodding and understanding as they see their household troubles explored on stage. There are so many delightful moments that will have you chuckling. “The idea of two young adults from two extremely different families falling in love and discovering that their values aren’t that different is both beautiful and hilarious and one that the students appreciate.” This lesson is but one of the many learning opportunities offered by Peninsula Grammar’s performing arts program as explained by Principal, Stuart Johnston.
“The value of being part of a team, something bigger than yourself to create something wonderful for others to enjoy can’t be underestimated,” he said. “We see so many students who experience the challenge, excitement and creativity of the Middle Years production take on other challenges in their life after being part of the program. It really is inspiring.” Potentially this is the reason why so many students choose to take up performing arts at Peninsula Grammar. Year 8 student Remi Stock is one of these students and is playing the lead role of Wednesday Addams. “The songs are so enjoyable and the comedy is hilarious with fantastic sarcasm,” said Remi. “We are all working hard as a team; I am so lucky to be part of this amazing production and can’t wait for our performance nights.” As with every Peninsula Grammar production, The Addams Family will be a very professional show with incredibly detailed sets, costume and make-up designs. And while many of the characters are dead ancestors, the performance will by no means be dull, with lively dance moves that will have the students and audience grooving through the graveyard. To see Peninsula Grammar’s The Addams Family performed at George Jenkins Theatre on Wednesday, October 25, to Friday, October 27, please contact 9788 777 or visit peninsulagrammar.vic.edu.au PENINSULA GRAMMAR A: 20 Wooralla Drive, Mount Eliza T: 9788 7777 W: www.peninsulagrammar.vic.edu.au

“School was not suited to me for lots of reasons,” Naomi said. “Since making the switch, I’ve found my place where I feel at home.” The future is looking brighter through an apprenticeship program that means she’s at TAFE one day a week and applying what she learns with real work experience at Peninsula restaurant Pizza D’Oh. “When I stepped into the kitchen, I thought this is my thing and what I want to do. I love all the possibilities there are with hospitality - from being in the restaurant, seeing the joy on people’s faces when they’ve received the best service ever, to cooking in the kitchen. “I know front-of-house like the back of my hand now, so I’m working with my mentor, Michael Simmons, to perfect my cookery techniques and develop new skills. He has pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and be competitive, firstly by believing that I can actually do it, and then by helping me to develop and perfect my awardwinning lamb back-strap dish. Since winning a silver medal at the regional AUSTAFE competition this year, my confidence has grown and I’m inspired to continue. I never thought I would get to achieve this.” But Naomi has a vision that extends beyond the Peninsula after she completes her three-year apprenticeship training. “My sights are set on travelling the globe before finally opening my own restaurant. I’m really hard-working and committed, and through the support I’ve received at Chisholm I know I can push forward.” CHISHOLM TAFE ROSEBUD CAMPUS A: cnr Henry Wilson Drive and Boneo Rd, Rosebud PICTURED: Cert III T: 1300 244 746 Commercial Cookery W: chisholm.edu.au student Naomi Cheeseman

Why in the world would Harriet Brown, the current World Ironwoman Champion, be gracing the pages of Mornington

This down-to-earth queen of surf life saving lives on the Gold Coast. She travels the world competing at the top level of her sport. Why Mornington? Well, it turns out Harriet has just been appointed water coach and youth mentor for the Mornington Life Saving Club. And that is big news around here. The forward-thinking team at Mornington Life Saving Club announced the news to members on August 30: “After months of planning, we have designed a cuttingedge training program that utilises faceto-face sessions, a feedback and review package that leverages the latest video technology and a range of social initiatives that will see our members given consistent opportunities that southern-based

athletes have never had access to before,” club president Mike Whitfort wrote. Put simply, having the current World Ironwoman Champion and Nutri-Grain Ironwoman Series Champion nurture Mornington members is an absolute coup. And it’s a bit of a first for the Geelongborn champ too. “I’ve been captain of the Victorian team for the past few years and I’ve run quite a few Nipper clinics but I haven’t actually been a mentor in an organised sense like this before,” the insanely busy 27-year-old explained before racing off to compete in an arm wrestling competition at the Gold Coast Show. Having moved from Victoria to the Gold Coast in 2009 to pursue her sport at the highest level, along with her studies, Harriet says she’s keen to “give back” to clubs and kids in her home state. “I’m really excited,” she said, explaining she’s raced here while growing up and loves the area. “I’ll be coming down a

There’s a lot to learn about Harriet Brown - accomplished ocean swimmer, exercise physiologist, pilates instructor, public speaker and overall advocate for healthy living.

looking forward to a partnership with a “role model who will add enormous value into the lives of all our children”.

You’ve probably heard of mindfulness. It’s the practice of maintaining an awareness of the present, of being totally conscious of your thoughts, feelings, sensations and environment so you can enjoy the right here and right now. In other words, it’s the opposite of worrying about what’s for dinner tomorrow night or dwelling on the time you called

your teacher “Mum” in Grade 4. But did you know nature can lead you towards this sense of calm? Kate James knows this better than most. She’s a mindfulness teacher and author who, up until a couple of months ago, lived in bustling Elsternwick. Kate runs meditation retreats in Byron Bay and Bali but has always had a vision of creating a more local “oasis” for her clients, and
maybe moving out of town herself. Enter the Mornington Peninsula. Kate decided our pocket of the state would be the perfect place to escape to and soon fell in love with acreage in coastal Mount Martha. “I went down to the beach recently and couldn’t believe how stunning the view was looking back to the city,” Kate says. “It’s a place that needs to be shared.” But it’s not just the beauty of the area that Kate finds amazing; it’s the way our “escape from the city” impacts her mindfulness. “The minute you see a bit of wide open space, you feel like there’s a capacity to think more clearly.” Clearly, a move from the city to the sea can inspire a sense of calm, a way to tune into the harmony of life around you. If you’re keen to take a break from a hectic urban life, you could also leave your worries at home and embrace mindfulness in nature. Try wandering the Flinders blowhole track, watching the waves roll in on your favourite beach, or hiking with the kangaroos through Arthurs Seat State Park.

Twenty-five years of helping others BY KATE SEARS
Life-Gate is celebrating a remarkable and well deserved 25th birthday to acknowledge its years of service to the community. It was founded in 1992 as a Christian Public Benevolent Institution by the Rev Angel Roldán and his wife, Pastor Ulli Rothstein de Roldán. From the beginning their vision was to powerfully influence troubled individuals to reach their potential. Life-Gate’s mantra is that “life-controlling problems, addictions and emotional disorders can be overcome through meeting the needs of the whole person”. “Our heart and passion is to see people fully restored and to equip others to do the same,” said Angel. To get in touch with a greater number of vulnerable people across the state, the group established several initiatives complete with volunteers trained by Life-Gate, including the Street Outreach Team and Prison Team. It also carried out nursing home visits, helped Aboriginal youth and families in the Lake Tyre area; offered counselling; set up a rehabilitation centre and an op-shop; provided court assistance; conducted inductions to rehabilitation centres; operated a dropin-centre and coffee shop; established sexual abuse therapy groups and hosted seminars on important topics in Victoria and interstate. Life-Gate is run solely by volunteers and depends on donations with the support of
individuals, business, philanthropic trusts, and Frankston Council. The late Dame Elisabeth Murdoch was one of its main sponsors and even supported Life-Gate financially for more than 20 years. “We have faith, and we rely on donations – it’s how we bought Life-Gate,” Angel said. Over the 25 years, Life-Gate has been assisted by approximately 750 unpaid volunteers. Angel and Ulli are extremely grateful to those who have dedicated their time and effort over the years to assist them in their goal to help the needy in our community. “Our vision is to expand our services, especially to obtain a property in the surroundings of Frankston to help people in need of restoration on a fulltime basis.” Marking the anniversary will be politicians, council members, supporters, members and of course friends and family. Guests will be taken back in time as they learn the history of the charity through videos and photographs. The celebrations will be held at 1A Olsen St on Saturday, October 28, from 5.30pm. “It will be held at our building in the heart of Frankston,” Angel said. “It’s really a wonderful blessing to be located where we are.” The couple, who this year were awarded Frankston’s Citizens of the Year, remain down to earth despite their amazing achievements. “We thank God for the wonderful experience. It’s been tough at times, but exciting and rewarding all the same.” So be an angel and join Life-Gate’s celebrations - and perhaps consider making a donation so it can continue its mission.
Everybody wants to help the environment, right? Well, in an effort to reduce waste and encourage recycling, reusable Main Street Market bags are available for purchase from the Mornington Chamber of Commerce, 103A Main St, for $5. These tasteful bags are a great size and very sturdy, making them perfect for all your shopping needs. They can be used as your daily run-around shopper or even as a beach bag - the uses are limitless!

Oh Rio, what a city
BY ELEANOR GIBSON
South America was on my list of places to see but, let’s be honest, it’s a long list! So when an opportunity arose for me to steer towards this grand continent, how could I resist?
In August, I flew to the vibrant city of Buenos Aires for an amazing four days. From the tempting steak restaurants that line the river to the colourful La Boca and its tango-filled streets, there are so many things to do and see - it is a city that doesn’t sleep. From here, it was off to Iguassu Falls, the largest waterfall system in the world. With most of the falls on the Argentinian side, my tip is to head to the Brazilian side for the best viewing. If you have a sense of adventure, then a boat ride under the falls is an absolute must. Rio de Janeiro … oh, what a city! From the volleyball on the beaches at Copacabana to the music permeating from the favelas, you get a sense that this city is alive. It’s impossible to miss Christ the Redeemer, towering overhead from almost every angle. But if you want to get a closer look, be sure to rise early, beat the crowds and take the tram to admire the enormity of this wonder of the world. South America is still on my list - but for a return visit now! PENINSULA TRAVEL A: 9 Bay Rd, Mount Martha T: 5974 3911 A: 87 Arthurs Seat Rd, Red Hill T: 5989 2393 W: peninsulatravel.com.au

Frankston’s future by design BY KATE SEARS
Mornington Peninsula Magazine
speaks to Frankston Council urban designer Meghan Doherty about her work and how she sees the city changing over the next 20 years. Could you tell us a bit about what you do
at the council? I provide urban design advice on proposed developments within the municipality. This may be for housing and apartment proposals, streetscape redevelopments, commercial development and even shop frontages. What types of areas/buildings do you work on?
“Good design doesn’t necessarily have to be attractive to be enjoyable, nor does it have to be ugly to be functional. It’s always about finding the right balance.”
( 28
Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month
Some public spaces (streetscapes etc) but the vast majority is housing and commercial development. This extends to individual housing, unit development, apartment design, mixeduse developments, even aged care and childcare developments. How important is sustainable design? Frankston City Council has a proud history with sustainability initiatives and won the Australian Sustainable Cities Award in 2015. Sustainability in any form of design is crucial for a variety of social, environmental and financial reasons; the implications of sustainable (and unsustainable) design extend well beyond our immediate community. Urban design has numerous sustainability considerations including energy performance, water resources, stormwater management, transport, waste management and the urban ecology. Design longevity is also a key indicator for sustainability, so how our spaces can adapt to change is also important. What’s your favorite part about your industry? I love the collaboration, whether it is between departments, external professionals or the community – the diversity in my projects ensures I’m never bored and the work is never ‘stale’. Being able to see the physical results of your work is also very satisfying, especially
when you can see the benefits reflected in the community. What/who would be your favourite design/designer? I don’t have a favourite design or designer per se but I’ve always had a fascination for coastal designs and projects that manage to integrate with the landscape rather than use the landscape to ‘grandstand’. Paula Hayes was one of the first designers who caught my attention and I still think her work is fantastic. How do you see Frankston changing over the coming years? It’s so exciting to be working in Frankston at the moment. There’s a lot of change happening; some big infrastructure developments are giving Frankston a fresh start and new vitality and the results can already be seen. Frankston has so much potential as a seaside city so it will be interesting to see the change and push for revitalisation over the next 20 years, including upgraded streetscapes, new buildings and new public spaces. What makes urban design attractive in your eyes? Good urban design comes in all shapes and sizes but is generally well considered and responsive to its context. What’s your preferred style of design? I prefer highly considered, fine-grain design – often with a quirky or playful detail.

A new tourism information kiosk and public toilets at Sorrento have been completed as part of a million-dollar improvement project by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. The information kiosk was designed with the modern facilities and amenities required for an accredited tourist business and is now eligible to use the Visitor Information Centre trademark – a blue and yellow italic letter ‘i’. The project also saw construction of six new public toilet cubicles on George St. These are fully automated and touch-free, and one is fully accessible for people in wheelchairs. Streetscape works were also constructed featuring high quality public spaces, including footpath paving, associated garden beds and street furniture. “This new information kiosk offers a warm welcome to visitors on the Peninsula who will be greeted by one of the 30 dedicated volunteers working there,” said Mayor Bev Colomb. Nepean Ward councillor Bryan Payne said: “We hope both visitors and locals alike enjoy these positive changes to Sorrento.” Fellow Nepean Ward councillor Hugh Fraser said: “It’s great to see the completion before summer of this much-needed public amenity for Sorrento, the shire’s premier tourist destination. The modern but sympathetic design in this sensitive location was collaboratively developed by council working with the Sorrento Portsea Chamber of Commerce, Beachside Tourism and Nepean Ratepayers Association.” PICTURED: Fred Dijkgraaf, Cr Bryan Payne, Marc Clavin, Cr Hugh Fraser, Barb Pow, Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Team Leader Buildings and Open Space David Hampton, Gerard Attwood and Sharon Richardson at the recently completed tourism information kiosk in Sorrento.

The Peninsula Teenage Fashion & Art Exhibition returns to Dromana College on Monday, October 23, marking the 10th anniversary of this popular and engaging event. Students from years 7 to 12 are busily finalising their garments to enter in one or more of the three categories: Special Occasion, Fantasy, and Casual Wear. The standard of entries from a range of Peninsula secondary schools is exceptionally high, which makes selecting the award winners a difficult task for the four judges, all respected designers, makers and teachers. Although a competition, the event promotes a wonderful camaraderie and respect between entrants. It is also a great opportunity for the Peninsula community to celebrate these talented young designers. The evening will kick off at 6.30pm with an art exhibition in the college design
centre. On entry, guests will be treated to a glass of Peninsula wine, and finger food prepared by Dromana College food technology students. They can bid for the stunning prizes donated by Peninsula businesses and enjoy the artwork by senior students. At 7.30pm the basketball stadium will be transformed with lights, sound and the familiar runway. The aptly named Ms World will introduce the designers as well-rehearsed models stride the catwalk with confidence and smiles, much to the delight of an enthusiastic audience. Tickets are $22 and can be purchased at the school reception or via phone on 5987 2805. The exhibition is the main fundraising event for the Dromana College Parents & Friends Association. Proceeds go to purchasing muchneeded equipment that benefits the whole school community. Tickets are selling fast so don’t miss out! Grab a friend and get along to support this fabulous future of fashion event.

Mornington turns up the style stakes It’s Spring Racing Carnival time again and the biggest racing event on the Peninsula - the Ladbrokes Peninsula Cup - is on Sunday, November 5. This year the Mornington Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Mornington Racecourse to sponsor the Main Street Mornington Style Stakes competition. Housed in a trackside marquee, the Style Stakes is a photographic competition where entrants are taken through a professional photography session to capture their race day look. With winners across four categories sharing in a $4000 prize pool of Main St vouchers, it’s a partnership that will not only benefit the lucky winners, but also the community. Local sponsorship of the Style Stakes was a welcome addition to this year’s event, according to Mornington Racecourse general manager Stephen Bell. “Supporting the local community is top of mind with everything we do at Mornington Racecourse. We are thrilled with the partnership with Mornington Chamber of Commerce and to be able to promote Main St, Mornington, to our race day audience.” Mornington Chamber of Commerce marketing and promotions and office coordinator Alexandra Levy says the partnership is a natural fit. “The Ladbrokes Peninsula Cup is a fantastically run event that attracts thousands of locals and those from outside the region. It is a great initiative to encourage racegoers to get involved and spend locally in Mornington. No need to leave the postcode.” Tickets: mrc.racing.com/calendar/2017-11-05/ladbrokes-peninsula-cup-day

If you’re like me heading into the silly season – disorganised and decoration-depleted – then why not start early this year and head to Santa’s Place in Moorooduc, where everything Christmas resides. As soon as you walk through the door you are welcomed into a world where Santa and all the magic he brings survives and thrives. Three generations of family for more than 18 years have been supplying Christmas trees (including fibre-optic), indoor/outdoor decorations, advent calendars, nativities and large display pieces plus more to the Peninsula and beyond. The 8ha site includes a Christmas tree farm and shop, café and playground,
and a licensed bar that’s ideal for long lunches or morning and afternoon parent group playdates. Santa’s Place is full of Christmas cheer from July onwards, when the doors open to invite clients in to experience a world full of wonder and festivities. Get a group of friends together for a cuppa heading towards Christmas and enjoy some pre-Christmas downtime and shopping while the kids jump on the trampoline or climb and slide outside. There’s plenty of parking - the carpark accommodates 200 - and you can stay all day. Tractor rides are available in December too! Be smart this Christmas and get your decorations and gifts sorted early so you can sit back and relax while everyone else gets flustered. Santa’s Place stocks the
lot - think angels, candles, bon-bons, tableware, snow globes, costumes, stockings and sacks! The list is too long to put down here, but one thing’s for sure: if you’re searching for something that makes your child’s heart sing, you’ve found it. Make sure you have a very merry and relaxed Christmas this year and start shopping today and stay for the fun at Santa’s Place. The man in red is calling. Ho, ho, ho!

Community steps up The Mount Martha community has rallied in support one of its key community groups - Mt Martha Preschool. The inaugural Mt Martha Community Bank Family Fun Fair, held on September 17, saw kinder kids walk and run laps of Mt Martha Primary School oval to raise money for new facilities at the preschool. Mt Martha Community Bank also put its best foot forward in support of the event as the naming rights sponsor. The fair was a festival of entertainment and family fun with designer market stalls, food trucks, live entertainment, an animal farm and reptile enclosure, jumping castles, ten pin bowling and more. Other supporting organisations included Chisholm & Gamon, the Mt Martha Cricket and Football clubs, Mornington Little Athletics and the Mt Martha CFA.

Little hands help little wings
A group of Peninsula children and their families are coming to the aid of Australia’s smallest nocturnal bird.
The Natured Kids Junior Landcare Group has teamed up with members of the Mornington Men’s Shed to build nesting boxes for the Australian owlet-nightjar. These will be placed in trees on private properties along Balcombe Creek estuary, in community gardens and nearby woodland and on other private properties with suitable habitat bordering Kananook Creek in Frankston. They will be under-planted with insect-attracting flora native to the Peninsula to increase the chances of occupation by owlet-nightjars. Environmentalist and freelance teacher Narelle Debenham says the lack of recent sightings of owletnightjars had many birdwatchers and environmental enthusiasts concerned until a bushwalker last month photographed one sunning itself at the entrance to a hollow in a tree at The Briars in Mount Martha. Narelle says that while the owlet-nightjar is vanishing from populated areas, it has at times been seen in other urban areas with remnant bush nearby.
Picture by Luke Shelley that’s where Natured Kids comes in. Group members Poppy, Pearl, Shyla, Willow-Rose, Jamie, Kimi, Ariele, Marli, Oliver, Jarvis, Rafferty, Aun, Faraz, Adan, Joachim and Warwick were recently invited with their families to work in a Landcare workshop in Mount Martha where, with Mornington Men’s Shed members, they built nesting boxes under the direction of Narelle, Landcare property owner/teacher Tony O’Connor and nesting box enthusiast Jim Greenwood. A small number of these nesting boxes are for sale and the proceeds will pay for the purchase of materials for the group’s unfunded future projects.
The call of the owlet-nightjar is said to be one of the most commonly heard sounds in the Australian bush after sunset. The bird feeds at night on a variety of insects, especially grasshoppers, beetles and ants, and plays an important role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Owlet-nightjars mate for life, the female laying three to five white rounded eggs and raising one clutch per season. This insect-eater, which has cat-like whiskers and measures just 23cm, prefers woodland and is usually
difficult to locate during the day as it hides in its roost in a hollow branch or tree trunk. Natural hollows form in trees after 100 or more years of growth and decay, providing shelter from the weather and predators, and safe sites for roosting and breeding. But many of these trees are disappearing, and there’s intense competition among bats, possums, gliders, owls, parrots, antechinus, ducks, rosellas and kingfishers, as well as numerous species of snakes, frogs and skinks, for those that remain. Artificial nesting hollows can help conserve species traditionally reliant on tree hollows for breeding – and

Made up of Peninsula families, their children aged four to 16 and primary school environmental leaders, Natured Kids meets weekly to conduct vital intergenerational projects for nature. “Intergenerational teaching and learning enhances our cultural, social, emotional and economic health while expanding environmental literacy and is the most powerful way to acquire new knowledge,” Narelle says. “Such meaningful and long-lasting experiences would not be possible without participation from the Mornington Men’s Shed – Natured Kids are so thankful for their support of the many ‘projects for nature’ over the years. It is great to pass on what you know!” To learn more about the Natured Kids Junior Landcare Group’s environmental projects, phone Narelle on 0431 791 379 or visit the group’s website naturedkids. com or Facebook page facebook.com/NaturedKids/ For instructions on how to build your own nesting box, see birdsinbackyards.net/sites/www.birdsinbackyards. net/files/page/attachments/Australian%20owlnightjar_0.pdf

Strathnaver the first of the White Sisters For the people of Melbourne enduring an economic depression, the arrival of a new liner on her maiden voyage brought a spark of excitement. Articles about the ship in the daily papers resulted in a large crowd being at Station Pier to greet her on the morning of November 9, 1931. The ship was the P&O liner Strathnaver 22,000 tons, 203m and accommodation for 500 first-class and 688 tourist-class passengers. At that time she was the largest ship to visit Melbourne. She was easily identified as she approached gleaming white in the early morning light. The first of the five White Sisters built for P&O, she had three yellow funnels but only the middle funnel was functional; the others were intended to impress potential travellers. During WWII the fore and aft funnels were removed. Her sister Strathaird (1932) was also built
The P&O electric ship Strathnaver as depicted on a postcard from the 1930s
with three funnels but the later trio Strathmore (1935), Stratheden (1937) and Strathallan (1938) - had only one. The Strathnaver was unusual in that her steam turbines did not drive her propeller shafts. Her turbines were connected to electric alternators and her propeller shafts were driven by reversing electric motors. Strathaird used the same system but in the later ‘Strath’ ships the turbines drove the propeller shafts directly through
gears. Melbourne daily newspaper The Argus claimed the Strathnaver could achieve 26 knots but her usual speed was around 20 knots. The same article describes the décor and lists the dignitaries who were aboard. Those who are interested should check the ‘Trove’ site of the National Library of Australia on the internet to read the column on page 7 of The Argus of November 10, 1931.

Most of those who greeted the Strathnaver could only dream of sailing aboard her. A holiday to the UK in those days required considerable wealth as well as time because weeks had to be added to allow for the ocean passages. A small group of children, however, did have the pleasure of visiting the ship at an afternoon tea on the day she arrived. The winners of a P&O essay competition received their prizes from the captain and a framed picture of the Strathnaver was given to the school which each one represented. After two days the liner departed for Sydney, but when she returned on Sunday, November 29, on her return passage to the UK about 12,000 people met her at Station Pier. From 2-6pm the public was permitted aboard to inspect the ship, and nearly 5000 managed to do so.

MARK PATTERSON: Ting Tong Kanteen, BALNARRING It’s all colour and smiles when walking into Ting Tong Kanteen in Balnarring. Accessible, open and full of Asian flavour and ambience, this little gem generates five-star flavour-sensation dishes with a twist of southern coastal flair. You’re welcome here. Mornington Peninsula Magazine chatted with owner/operator Mark Patterson who is as colourful and creative as his menu. Why the name Ting Tong Kanteen – does it mean anything? Ting Tong is a character in an English comedy series which we love, so it’s partly because of that. Ting Tong also means “crazy” in Thai, which we thought was funny too. How long has Ting Tong Kanteen been in existence and why Asian Fusion food? We’ve been open three years this coming January. We opened because we found a need for great fresh (not processed) Asian Fusion food on the Peninsula. We were driving to Melbourne to eat it which became a little hard with a young child in tow. So we opened Ting Tong. What inspired you to plant business roots in Balnarring? We live in Somers, so it was a lifestyle decision. We could also see Balnarring expanding, so we jumped in! Please describe some of what’s on the menu over the next month or so. The menu is about to change slightly, but we have some great new specials about to hit like our BI BIM BUB, which in short is a Korean chilli beef rice bowl with fried egg and pickled vegies. There’s a great new Thai salad

coming too which consists of watermelon, lime, mint and a special fish crumble which is deliciously fresh for the warmer weather. Our specials board is constantly changing too. Was there another professional life before Ting Tong Kanteen? I had two retail stores before we opened Ting Tong - one in Flinders and the other on High St, Prahran. Prahran was also the head office for my main design business and furniture company 4M Pty Ltd. 4M was all about designing/manufacturing commercial quality furniture and lighting in Australia and selling it through the Australian architectural market and specifiers. We custom-made furniture for past prime ministers, archbishops and celebrities through to large and small corporates, hotels and restaurants. I also did a lot of interior design work on my own property developments, friends’ properties and restaurants, which I suppose led to me designing my retail stores and now Ting Tong. What’s your favourite style in design and art? I have a contemporary eye and I’m not afraid of colour. I love to mix things up a bit. I can work to a tight budget without it being blatantly obvious in the end result. Tell me what you love about living on the Peninsula and how long you’ve been here. We have lived here permanently for about eight years now. We had beach houses in Somers for a number of years, and like a lot of people loved it and made the sea change. We haven’t looked back since. The new Ting Tong Bar has a dramatic continental cosy style – any favourite local designers or artists you follow? We follow heaps of local artists and designers. A couple that stand out to me personally would be Tash Carah Photography from Mount Eliza and Manyung Gallery, also in Mount Eliza. Neil Williams from Flinders is great and I love Kate Walker’s Interior Design.
page!
You’ve just been away on a trip. Any new decorations to add to the Ting Tong interior or your home? Only a traditional straw hat for the bar from Vietnam … and heaps of great fresh food and market pics from Paris, Barcelona and London for our Instagram
What’s next for Ting Tong Kanteen? Maybe it’s time for a coffee and cake café and flower shop. Both are in the planning and under the same roof. Watch this space as we continue to grow! Follow the news regarding Ting Tong developments on FB @Tingtongkanteen and on Instagram @ tingtongkanteen
How do you like to spend down-time with your family? Because I’m working most nights and weekends I love to cook a meal … and that’s anything but Asian Fusion! Any favourite haunts on the Peninsula other than your own restaurant? The two most regulars would be Fontalina Pizza, for the best lasagne and pizza, and Le Bouchon, for fantastic French food and wine - both in Balnarring.

Rainbows are reigning over the Peninsula as supporters of marriage equality make their feelings known on the Federal Government’s Marriage Act postal survey. The survey, which simply asks voters “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?”, has resulted in rainbow flags, signs and posters springing up in shop windows, businesses and even on the pedestrian overpass at the Nepean Highway/Wooralla Drive/Mount Eliza Way intersection in Mount Eliza (pictured). As long-time supporters of marriage equality, we at Mornington Peninsula Magazine urge all our readers and advertisers to vote YES. We strongly believe same-sex couples should have the same rights as married couples – rights they are denied under the present law; we do not believe the NO campaign has provided any relevant arguments why same-sex couples should not be allowed to marry; and we believe our way of life in Australia faces a far greater threat from climate change than it does from allowing two people who love each other to marry. The survey closes at 6pm on Tuesday, November 7, and late survey forms will not be counted. The ABS recommends, therefore, that you post your survey no later than Friday, October 27. Survey results will be published on the ABS website on November 15. Picture: Tanya Fry

lizard was OK – but definitely no snakes.” And anyway, Spike is special - he waves! “He does this funny thing - he lifts up his front leg and waves at us.” What a beauty! Beard and all.
Peter Sorensen, from Mt Eliza Village Vet, and Spike have been best mates for 16 years. Bearded dragons are only meant to live for eight to 10, but Peter reckons it’s because Spike is living the high life. “He’s pretty spoilt. There’s a heat light and UVB tube (which assists in the production of vitamin D3 in reptiles and amphibians) in his terrarium. He has to keep warm because he’s cold-blooded. He eats fruits and vegies plus live crickets and insects because he needs to chase and hunt. I also ‘mist’ the enclosure so he can lick the droplets of water off the walls. Bearded dragons are desert species, so they don’t need much.” Peter has always loved animals. He collected insects and skinks, green tree frogs and blue-tongue lizards as a kid and worked part-time in a pet shop. He got Spike when he was at high school. “Bearded dragons lead a pretty sedentary life. We take him out at night and he just hangs with us watching television. He goes outside when the weather gets

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has started Saturday morning drop-in sessions at its Community Animal Shelter and Pound. During the council’s six-month trial of the sessions, which began on September 2, residents and visitors looking to learn about responsible pet adoption are welcome to visit the shelter and pound without an appointment anytime between 10am-1pm on Saturday, during which they can cuddle a cat, adopt a pet or ask a question of one of the council’s friendly staff. “The Shire looks forward to seeing the Saturday morning trials run throughout our busiest season,” said Mayor Bev Colomb. “Our shire-run facility has been caring for cats, dogs and stray livestock for more than 30 years. Our dedicated staff place a high priority on the welfare and care for lost pets and endeavour to re-home all unclaimed domestic pets. “At the facility last year we successfully reunited more than 800 pets with their owners,” Cr Colomb said. “A further 573 pets were rescued or adopted into a loving home through the tireless efforts of volunteer animal rescue group partners. We hope these drop-in sessions will help locals and visitors alike to have more opportunity to learn about responsible pet adoption through our community animal shelter and pound.” Of course, for less wait time and to suit your availability you are also welcome to visit the shelter any other day
of the week by simply booking an appointment on 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000 during business hours, or on 5975 2596 from 10am-1pm and 2-4pm on weekends and public holidays. The shelter is open to the public every day except Christmas Day and Good Friday.
If you are thinking of adopting a pet, be sure to do your research first by visiting mornpen.vic.gov.au/pets, where you can view pets available for adoption and learn more about the responsibilities that come with owning a pet on the Peninsula.

While many people think Halloween is an American tradition, it’s actually a Celtic celebration dating back almost 2000 years. What began as a way to ring in the New Year on November 1 has now evolved into a night of dressing up, trick-or-treating, and scoffing the entire contents of a jacko’-lantern. Australia has been slow to adopt Halloween but it seems like it’s finally found a home Down Under – so, what’s it like on the Peninsula? It’s all aboard Mornington Railway’s Halloween Spook Train! Each October, the famous traditional steam train undergoes a ghoulish transformation to celebrate the scary season. “We have a resident ghost or spook who rides the trains, music, platform decorations,
( 60
train decorations, and face painting on the platform,” says Mornington Railway event co-ordinator Marg Ffrench. “We encourage our volunteers and passengers to dress up in Halloween outfits.” Marg says more and more passengers are flocking to the spook train every year, reflecting the growing popularity of Halloween on the Peninsula. And for those seeking an extra thrill, there’s even talk of adding a twilight or night train in the future. Little Shop of Horrors Costumery in Mornington is also a big fan of Halloween and is preparing for an influx of witches, goblins and ghouls looking for a suitably scary outfit and some frightfully good make-up for a night of trick-or-treating – see the feature opposite. Meanwhile, the Frankston Spooky Adventure Path is also running over the Halloween period. The Spooky Adventure Path is a trickor-treating trail of Frankston businesses for children, proving just how popular Halloween has become in our neck of the woods!

Harmonise life’s negative energies Have you stopped to consider how 24/7 exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is affecting you and your family? Experts tell us we are being bombarded by EMR from Wi-Fi and digital TVs, smart meters, microwave ovens, laptops and tablets, smart phones, smart watches, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors and more.

Get over your public speaking fears When it comes to people’s worst fears, public speaking is right up there with death, heights and snakes. But at some point in our lives, we all have to do it. Whether it’s at a young age in school or at university, a presentation at work or even introducing yourself at a networking event, we often experience such anxiety in these situations. But enjoying (or at least getting used to) public speaking will be one of the most rewarding and empowering things you can do for yourself and your business. So here’s a few tips to help you get over your fear of public speaking and remember the benefits instead - like that it helps build your personal brand, helps grow your network and establishes yourself as an industry expert. Tip 1: G et super-clear on your pitch and purpose - not from a sales point of view, but be sure you can easily communicate who your ideal customer is and what your product or service solves for them. Tip 2: K now your audience – don’t present the same old presentation or story to every group you speak to or even every new connection you meet. You’ll need to curate your content depending on your audience, their (and your) objectives and know what’s most relevant to them. Tip 3: P ractise makes (almost) perfect. Perfection isn’t the goal here; being your authentic self and sharing your unique story is – that’s what people will remember.

Beautiful Balnarring
The soul of Japan By Liz Rogers
Beautiful Balnarring With its charming township, sweeping coastline and breathtaking beach rated ‘Australia’s Cleanest Beach’ by the Keep Australia Beautiful Council in 2006, it’s little surprise this quiet coastal township fronting Western Port Bay is considered a Mornington Peninsula gem.
Balnarring is located approximately 80km southeast of Melbourne, about halfway between Hastings and Flinders, and it is wrapped in wineries and wetlands. In this issue of Mornington Peninsula Magazine, we take a look at some of the businesses that call this spectacular region home. We speak with the owner of authentic Italian restaurant Fontalina, we explore Rain, Hayne & Shine Farmyard and we take a look at Ting Tong Kanteen Asian fusion restaurant, Salt Café Balnarring, Global Hair Design, Oritas 2 Japanese restaurant and Balnarring Community Bank.
Master chef Hikaru Orita (of Orita’s 16 years of fame in Toorak) creates authentic, healthy and delicious Japanese dishes that feed the soul. His Orita’s 2 restaurant in Balnarring concentrates on delivering delicate Japanese food that keeps clients returning for more of his passion and dexterity. Flavour comes alive at Orita’s 2 and tells a story of Japanese culture and connectivity through daily fresh ingredients and sensory seduction. Once you’ve sampled Orita-san’s gyoza (pan-fried Japanese dumpling), okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) and agedashi tofu, your place will be firmly set as a regular at this traditional Japanese restaurant. These are dishes you can never have too much of, while Orita-san’s 50-plus years of experience means ordering the most sophisticated and intricate dish is possible too. Orita’s 2 also welcomes birthday celebrations. ORITA’S 2 A: Shop 17/3050 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Balnarring (next to butcher) T: 5931 3232 W: oritas2.com.au FB: @oritas2

A delicious slice of Italy...
Nothing beats the Mornington Peninsula in springtime, especially if you’re planning a visit to Fontalina Balnarring’s freshest taste of Italy.
Owner and head chef Dirk Anceschi follows his passion for producing top-quality food using locally sourced ingredients from various suppliers on the Peninsula. Dirk has comprised a menu that is uniquely simple and gives the diner an uncomplicated and authentic taste of Italy. The pizzas are created to complement the integrity and flavour of each ingredient, using real Italian flour, tomatoes and mozzarella. Your pizza is then made by hand by Fontalina’s Italian pizzaiolo, Massimo. With beer, wine and a selected few cocktails on its list, Fontalina makes the perfect stop after the beach for a casual bite with friends and family. Try the antipasto platter while you decide on your mains. Fontalina is open Wednesday through to Sunday from 5pm and from noon Friday through to Sunday. You can also enjoy a casual coffee and pastry on the weekends from 9am. Caelen, who is the front of house manager, also doubles as a pro barista. Fontalina offers all pizzas on its menu for $15 on Sundays but you must book a table in advance because it’s only on offer to those who dine in and the word is out!

Archibald winner showing in Red Hill Tim Storrier’s powerful lithographs have literally set the art world on fire, depicting the unyielding vastness and limitless horizons of the Australian landscape with stars, burning logs, ropes, and other three-dimensional constructions. At 19, Storrier became the youngest artist to win the Sulman Prize, and in 2012 he won the seminal Archibald Prize for his faceless self-portrait “The histrionic wayfarer (after Bosch)”. Storrier’s work hangs in the Louvre Museum in Paris, the National and Tate galleries in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York, and in Australian state and regional galleries. Now Storrier is showing at the Peninsula’s exciting new art gallery, Jon Cecil Fine Art. Jon Cecil’s gallery recently moved from Melbourne and Sydney to the former Poffs Restaurant site in Red Hill. Alongside Storrier you can also see works by Brett Whiteley, Charles Blackman, John Olsen, Lloyd Rees, Bruno Leti, Max Miller, Alexander Stitt, John Firth-Smith (Australia) as well as such legendary international artists as David Hockney, Joe Tilson, Richard Hamilton and Allen Jones (UK), Jasper Johns, Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist (US), and Joichi Hoshi, Toko Shinoda, Mitsuhiro Unno, Clifton Karhu and Yoshitoshi Mori (Japan). The Storrier exhibition runs from October 8-November 5 and can also be viewed online at artnet.net.au JON CECIL FINE ART A: 164 Arthurs Seat Rd, Red Hill M: 0419 966 333 W: joncecilart.com.au

Using essential oils for perfume is a great way to smell fantastic, feel great and promote wellness! Kis Organic Perfumes are locally produced by Kis My Body, eco-friendly and glamorous. What makes them different to most perfume is that they are blended using only essential oils and then added to organic sugar cane alcohol or organic jojoba (alcohol-free). What is an essential oil? An oil is “essential” in the sense that it contains the “essence of” the plant’s fragrance. Unfortunately most perfumes are created nowadays using mainly synthetic fragrances.
Using essential oils for healing purposes is often called aromatherapy, which is a holistic treatment seeking to improve physical, mental and emotional health. Why organic? Like eating organically, essential oils that are produced organically are free from toxic pesticides and fertilisers which may negatively impact humans and the planet. All Kis products use as many certified organic ingredients as possible. The Kis Range focuses on essential oils, and they are present in all products except the Kis Essentials Vitamin C antiageing cream, which is fragrance-free. Available online and at a stockist near you. KIS MY BODY T: 9787 8825

How to be your best you this summer If being comfortable in your own skin is something you’re thinking about as summer approaches, you’re definitely not alone. We all want to be confident in our own skin. But getting to a place where we feel this way has as much to do with mindset as it does with fitness. Spring is a great time to begin shifting your perception of perfection and focus instead on working towards being your best self. Set achievable goals for your health and fitness. If you’re hitting the gym or starting a healthy eating plan, choose new habits that fit in with your lifestyle so you can maintain them more easily. Take care of your mind as well as your OCTOBER 2017 (71)

Michelle-Ann Bras & Swimwear is celebrating 50 years of trading in Mornington. It is still owned by Lois Mitchell, who started the business with her late husband John in 1967. The following year they had a daughter, Michelle-ann, who was aptly named after the store. Michelle-ann joined the business 32 years ago and together they have enjoyed servicing the needs of the ladies of the Mornington Peninsula with bras and swimwear. Twenty years ago The Pink Room evolved to care for women who have experienced breast cancer surgery. It is a special part of the business Lois and Michelle-ann are most proud of. Michelle-Ann Bras & Swimwear is one of Melbourne’s largest retailers of swimwear and bras, offering a specialty fit service for both bras and swimwear with an extensive range of large cup sizes available. The entire team has been with MichelleAnn Bras & Swimwear for many years. Store manager Helen McMillan has been on board for 23 years, and what sets the business apart
from its competitors is the team’s knowledge of product and fit. Most importantly they take pride in knowing and caring for their customers. The staff are all Peninsula locals who have a strong connection to the community and have been well trained to advise you in making the right choice, whether it be a Camilla caftan, bathers, bra or prosthesis. Labels include Berlei, Triumph, Playtex, Panache, Glamorize, Empriente and Fayreform. Swimwear brands include Seafolly, Jets, Sunseeker, Tigerlily, Baku, Camilla, Speedo, Jantzen, Togs, Anita and Empriente. Lois and Michelle-ann would like to thank the wonderful people of the Peninsula for all their support and loyalty - it is very much appreciated. They feel very privileged to have three generations of customers, and some of Lois’s original customers are still shopping with her today, which they feel is something very special.

Online booking makes it easier and faster for you to book when it suits you, and Hair on Barkly has found that clients like it and want it. With Hair on Barkly’s online booking system you have the ability to book an appointment even when the salon is closed - and most importantly when it suits you. It has been designed specifically for clients to make their lives easier and ensure their experience with Hair on Barkly is the best it can be. Just like with standard appointments, clients who book online also receive reminder text messages. Hair on Barkly’s clever software system also recently released online bookings that allow you to upload photos to your online booking profile when you make an appointment online. The stylist you have chosen will be alerted that there’s a photo to view when Hair on Barkly receives your booking, so the staff know what you want before you even walk into the salon. The added bonus is you and the stylist can then do a pre-consult if necessary. With great care comes great hair at Hair on Barkly.

HOW TO ACHIEVE THE PERFECT COLOUR
When you colour your hair, visiting a reputable precision colourist is not the only thing that helps you get the best result. The power of perfection is in your hands. Follow Zúmay’s Top Three Tips before you book to guarantee you get the look you desire: 1. Do your homework: Keep photos of both the looks you do and don’t love. It makes a huge difference when you and your colourist share the same vision. Even if you’re an expert in all colouring lingo, photos will ensure you are explaining your look exactly the way your colourist would. 2. Go in for a free consultation: Your desired colour could take as little as an hour or even multiple appointments. A consultation will help avoid disappointment and guarantee your booking(s) allow enough time to give you exactly the look you’re dreaming of. 3. Be realistic about your commitment: Be true to your nature. If your colourist knows how often you will realistically come in for touch-ups, they can determine the technique and colour that you will best be able to maintain. Once your hair is exactly the way you want, there are a few tips you should follow after your appointment as well. For more information about how to keep your colour perfect, visit www.zumay.com/blog ZÚMAY SALON A: 8 Blake St, Mornington T: 5977 0711 E: zumay.mornington@bigpond.com F: @zumaysalon INSTA: @zumay

Your face is in expert hands Dr Fiona Milne is a cosmetic physician with more than 16 years’ experience in the area of nonsurgical enhancement and rejuvenation. Her emphasis is on a global approach to beautification. “The whole face must be taken into consideration - it must be harmonious,” Fiona says. “Sometimes I am simply augmenting lips but frequently I am considering age-related restoration, which is multi-faceted. Changes in skin, bone and fat loss, facial proportions all need to be considered.” Fiona’s area of expertise is injectables. She is a member of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Physicians, attends conferences regularly both nationally and internationally, and participates in teaching other doctors injecting techniques. “Safety and risk minimisation are paramount. Shopping around for the cheapest product in a largely unregulated industry risks a poor aesthetic result and dangerous complications. I fix a lot of poorly injected lips, for example, where
anatomy, product choice and proportions have not been well considered. This can be unnecessarily painful, increase downtime, and is more expensive than it should ever have been.” Fiona has opened beautiful new rooms at 60 Cranbourne Rd, Frankston. “We have more space, plan to expand our services and have lots of parking!” She is joined by Kirsty Turner, a cosmetic nurse with expertise in skin treatments and skin care. Her approach is holistic and tailored to each patient’s budget, goals and lifestyle. “Skin quality is integral to getting a good result with injectables. We are getting great results with our radio frequency needling and chemical peels particularly. LED speeds healing and stimulates collagen - and it’s painless!” Consultations with Fiona and Kirsty are welcomed. Remember to plan ahead for spring racing and Christmas.

Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month
The skin is the largest organ of the body. We human beings do not think of the skin as being one of the most important organs, with the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas taking priority over it. Our skin is the outer barometer of what is happening on the inside of our bodies. If there is an irritation, dryness, rosacea, blockage or rash, our skin lets us know our internal homeostasis is out of balance or an ingredient we are using on our skin is not right for us. Common signs of a compromised skin barrier may include dry, flaky, itchy, sensitive or red skin. When the lipids, which are like the cement that holds the cells together, are depleted by environmental conditions, harsh products or incorrect treatments, skin loses water and becomes dry. Once this happens an inflammatory response is triggered. The skin barrier serves an important role in protecting us from toxins, bacteria, infection and other DNA-damaging elements. A compromised skin barrier is more prevalent today than ever before as a result of our environment, overuse of skin care products with harsh ingredients, medications, autoimmune diseases, and also overly aggressive professional treatments. A corrective facial treatment for a compromised skin barrier may include an enzyme peel which contains amino acids which will soften the skin and digest surface cells. A facial massage will not only relax the mind and the skin, it will also hydrate and soothe when ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, organic stem cells and epidermal growth factors are incorporated.
Experts in their field.
The correct ingredients in home care are imperative to assist in rebuilding the strength and hydration of the skin. The incorrect ingredients applied to your skin may start an avalanche of problems on your skin, from milia and blockages to rosacea flare-up and dryness etc. We often see a water dry surface on an oily clogged skin - wrong products. Remember, hormones create the oil, not the blockage.

Eat the rainbow We have all heard it before, but what does eating the rainbow really mean and why do we need to do it? It simply refers to getting as many different coloured fruits and vegetables into your diet as possible. Why? As a general rule, each different coloured vegetable or fruit contains a range of different vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals. Red vegetables contain an antioxidant called lycopene; Purple/blue fruits and vegetables contain anthocyanin, which protects cells from damage; Orange vegetables and fruits contain carotenoids, some of which are converted to vitamin A, which helps with eyesight; Leafy greens are a good source of folate and iron; Brown/white vegetables and fruit contain potassium. In an ideal world, we would consume five serves of vegetables a day. Most people are lucky to achieve half this. Does that seem impossible to achieve? It doesn’t have to be. Say you have two to three serves of cooked vegies or salad every night with dinner; work backwards - all you need to do is find room for another two or three serves a day. Breakfast: If you have eggs for breakfast, consider putting quarter of an avocado on your toast and cook some tomato
and spinach on the side - that’s at least another one or two serves. Or if you have toast with Vegemite, swap it for toast with tomato and mushrooms. Lunch: Obviously by having a salad with a protein component you’ll be pretty close to meeting your requirements, but if that doesn’t take your fancy, why not try a wrap with tuna and salad, which will cover at least a serve. Chicken and vegetable soup will contain about one serve, or if you’re a sucker for a toasted ham and cheese sandwich, add some tomato, mushroom and baby spinach and you can count that as one serve. Snacks: If you are having nibbles with cheese and dips, add a whole heap of cutup vegie sticks – carrot, celery, cucumber, capsicum, even cherry tomatoes. Not only will it make your platter look nice, it will give you an alternative to crackers for your dip or cheese. Vegie sticks for a mid-afternoon work snack or even a good old stick of celery with peanut butter or cream cheese will count for close to one serve a day. All of the Be Fit Food meals and soups have four to 12 different vegetables, ensuring that a variety of vitamins and minerals are present in every meal. If you are following the Be Fit Food meal plans, make the most of the unlimited lowstarch vegetables that are part of the plan to ensure that you are meeting your five serves a day.

In just 25 days of operation since opening in July, Rosebud Skin Cancer Centre has seen 730 patients and diagnosed 132 skin cancers. This includes 14 melanomas. Although there is increasing awareness in the community about the dangers of melanoma and importance of checking your skin, there is still confusion about the best way to do this. There have been giant leaps forward in the diagnosis of skin cancers in recent years, and RBSCC prides itself in delivering the best possible care for its patients. Every patient at RBSCC has a dedicated half-hour appointment and sees a nurse and a doctor, each looking them over head to toe with a dermatoscope,
a specially designed handheld microscope. Using a dermatoscope in the diagnosis of skin cancers is so critical because even small, innocuous-looking moles can have obvious features of melanoma when examined under magnification. Last, and perhaps most importantly, every doctor at RBSCC has done extra training in skin cancer, and the majority work exclusively in skin cancer medicine. All of this translates into picking up skin cancers earlier, and in greater numbers. Please call 5986 1600 to make your appointment now.

by Stephanie Johnson
Aries It is time to hone your communication skills.
Your ability to relate to others, particularly your nearest and dearest, determines how well you get along this month. Forcing your way through obstacles mid-month is to be avoided. Diplomacy is the name of the game if you want to achieve your goals. Generally speaking, Taureans love security, steady accomplishment and accumulation. In order to continue along this path you need your health. It is time to give up bad habits and adopt new and fun-filled ways of living a healthy lifestyle. Co-workers could help you stay on track. This is a great month for making plans and sticking to them. If you have been in two minds about something then now you can make a commitment. You can be creative in your thinking and may enjoy organising a social event for friends and family. Once again it is your time to keep the home fires burning. Home and hearth are highlighted during October. You can hunker down, like the Crab, on your own. Alternatively you can gather loved ones around. The choice is yours as long as you commit to your home-base.
Taurus
Gemini
Cancer
Leo
October is a powerful month with the dwarf planet Ceres in your Zodiac Sign. Highs and lows are likely, particularly connected with short trips and siblings. You need to communicate with kindness, and nurture yourself and those around you. Spending time in nature can help re-establish your equilibrium. The way in which you earn your money is highlighted this month. The time has come to look at your income, your budget, assess how you earn and spend money and make adjustments. You need to cut your cloth according to your means, as the idiom goes. Me, myself and I. This is your focus for October. What makes you feel good? How can you take the focus off others and place it on yourself, even if just for one month? Beauty treatments, self-realisation classes, artistic and social activities could all help boost your health and wellbeing. The positive and uplifting planet Jupiter moves into your Zodiac Sign this month, heralding good fortune for all Scorpios. It is a time of growth and of reaping rewards for work well done. The trick is to make the most of your opportunities and stop yourself from going overboard.

Sagittarius Your social calendar fills during
October. Groups, clubs and social events demand your attention. You need to schedule downtime and make sure that work commitments can be handled as you will be busy after hours. Female friends, or groups involving women, are highlighted. It is time to shine in your chosen profession. Recognition and rewards could come your way this month, as well as promotions. The trick is to ensure that you have a sense of meaning and purpose in your public life, if not your work then a cause or club. October sees Aquarians embrace anything connected with the bigger picture in life. Forget the housework and chores. You seek adventure to broaden your horizons. If you can travel then you take off. If this is not an option then an international film festival or cultural events may do the trick. Imagination is your best friend. You may not have much energy for getting out and about but you can dream. Imagine the changes that you would make if you could. If you have the energy then implement these changes. If not, trust that energy follows thought.

Clinical hypnotherapist Gayle Dwyer (pictured) helps people to ‘rethink normal’, enabling a change in eating habits and emotional connections to food. “The only way to achieve long-term results with weight control is to re-program the automatic part of your brain and create ‘new normals’ for yourself,” says Gayle. “Without doing this you are left with a battle between what you consciously want and the subconscious programs/habits you are running.” Client Kim Fraser says: “I was so surprised with how easy it is to be mindful when it comes to food. I now eat smaller portions and make healthier choices. I used to think it was quicker to grab take-away on the way home from work. But now I realise that it is just as quick to go home, cook up some fish and vegetables and feel much better after eating. Also, I no longer want ‘afters’, which was normal for me in the past. As a result, I feel physically and emotionally better … and I have lost 16kg so far.”
“I have lost 16kg so far and I am feeling physically and emotionally so much better” Kim Fraser, Cranbourne Whether you wish to shift a small or large amount of weight, Time to Thrive has a program for you.

I, Joan Curson, am a Spiritual Psychic Medium, clairvoyant, clairordiant and clairsentient and as such I receive channelled wisdom messages of truth from Ascended Masters which carry the healing grace of God. These healing energies pass through me to others for the healing of body and mind. I have been asked by the Ascended Masters to pass on to humanity the messages of wisdom they relay to me so that all can understand the truth of what their heritage is. These poignant messages are healing to our body and mind and can re-calibrate the cells of our body to health once again. They can help shift your mood on a daily basis, and can also be used as a means of study to raise your conscious state to the fifth dimension, and even further beyond your expectations. They are able to be accessed on my website. I also offer a book “Wisdoms and prophesies for the 21st. Century” for upliftment on a daily basis.

Singers chosen for Voice semi-final Thirty of the Peninsula’s most talented singers will soon have the chance to lift up their voices in a bid to be named The Voice of Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. By the time auditions closed on September 29, hundreds of budding performers had entered the annual solo artist singing competition, leaving the panel of judges with an enormous task of narrowing down the field for the semi-finals. After a series of blind auditions, the judges chose 30 entrants across the three categories – Junior, Teen and Adult – who will now proceed to the semi-finals on Sunday, October 15, at 1pm at Rosebud Secondary College Theatre (formerly Southern Peninsula Arts Centre), 245 Eastbourne Rd, Rosebud. The expert panel of judges will be joined by Adam Ladell (pictured), a runner-up on The Voice Australia, and Cail Baroni, the winner of The Voice of Frankston 2013 who has also appeared on X Factor and The Voice Australia. Adam will also perform at the grand final, which will be held at the same venue on Sunday, October 22, at 1pm.
Proudly hosted by The Music Industry, this promises to be one of the most exciting events held on the Peninsula this year as the singers battle it out for cash prizes, a CD recording and the opportunity to perform at many of our live venues. As a member of the audience, your vote will help decide the winners, so get your ticket from themusicindustry.com.au or by phoning 5986 6888 and help send your favourite singer on the next stage of their new life.

Eagle rises to the Challenge
In an exciting first, The Arthurs Seat Challenge is this year partnering with The Arthurs Seat Eagle, giving you the option of taking a relaxing gondola ride back down after the 6.7km fun run/walk to the summit. This year’s Challenge will be held on Sunday, November 12, and an estimated 2000 people are expected to take part. While the fastest runners reach the summit in less than 26 minutes, The Eagle takes 14 minutes each way. At its peak, Arthurs Seat hits a whopping 9.5-degree gradient, made palatable by the breathtaking views of Port Philip Bay and the knowledge that participants are supporting the Fit2Drive road safety program. The Challenge aims to promote the profile of best practice road safety education for young people, with event proceeds supporting the implementation of the Fit2Drive program at secondary schools across the Peninsula, Westernport and Frankston areas. The Arthurs Seat Challenge is an opportunity for schools, families and the community to rally together and raise awareness of the overrepresentation of young people in road crashes in the hope of eliminating the pain road trauma causes. Registrations are open and your return journey on The Eagle should also be booked online at arthursseatchallenge.com.au

Whistlewood Gallery’s curators Susan McCulloch & Emily McCulloch Childs have just returned from their annual northern trips with many new and different examples of Aboriginal art to feature in their spring exhibition, From Nature. “This year we’ve been to Cairns and Far North Queensland and an extensive trip to Kimberley art centres as well as to Darwin,” Susan says. “We’re excited to be showing a really new range of works, including those of the well-known Lockhart River artists Rosella Namok, Samantha Hobson and Fiona Omeenyo, along with some great new Kimberley works in ochre and the exuberant works by rising star Halls Creek artist Janet Dreamer, award-winning Sonia Kurarra and other artists from Fitzroy
Crossing, WA.” The subtle hues of new paintings by contemporary artists David Beaumont and Claudine Marzik and textured barks in ochre from East Arnhem Land provide great contrasts to the brilliantly coloured works – with all chosen to demonstrate the artist’s connection to their lands and the spring season of rebirth and renewal. The exhibition is open until November 12 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 11am-4pm.

For the love of landscape BY LIZ ROGERS
Artist Philip Adams creates from the inside out. Reflections of his beloved Australian landscape spread out before the viewer in search of the never-ending. The endlessness of exploration. The expansiveness of connection - with the earth and the unknown. Considered indications of colour leap from this artist’s work where layer and texture tango. Although Philip paints what he sees, his oil and acrylic (or collage) on canvas and paper creations are worlds within worlds and surge from his interior memories. His expert brush strokes result in pure visual pleasure. “I love the possibilities of space and the Australian wildlife that inhabits it,” Philip says. “I fell in love with nature as a child holidaying in Balnarring. We’d run to Point Leo. (He now lives in Bung Bong, in central Victoria.) New landscapes excite and invite OCTOBER 2017 (71)
me.” His wife Pat continues: “He’s always looking out the window. Searching.” Philip’s work has been in shows since 1970 and hangs in private collections in England, France, Germany, Japan, the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Explore this world- renowned artist’s work across two distinct presentations with works on paper from September 23 and large canvases during mid-December at the sublime Manyung Gallery Sorrento, where the light is just right for showcasing these serendipitously sizeable contemporary Australian landscapes – and fall in love.

Back to back at the Curved Wall
Now this is exciting! Australian contemporary artist Steve Salo’s work is coming to the Frankston Arts Centre from October 19 until December 9 and you’re invited. Salo’s portraits of one of Australia’s most globally recognised and respected theatre companies, Back to Back Theatre, will be on show at the Curved Wall and is set to get hearts brimming. Best known for his emotive portraiture and landscape painting, the largely self-taught Salo has been working full-time as a painter since 2014 after losing much of his art history and materials in a fire in 2013. He has just returned from an art residency in Finland. His Back to Back Theatre Portraits are both beautifully conceived and painted. “I’ve learnt about the amazing creative projection that comes from these people; their sensitivity, fragility at times and their intense focus on their work,” he says. Based in Geelong, Back to Back Theatre has been challenging the assumptions of what is possible in theatre for around 30 years. This is a group that believes anything is possible and continues to prove it by producing work that inspires, questions and resonates. Steve Salo’s collaboration with the ensemble has resulted in an amazing selection of portraits that reveal the actor’s and artistic director’s souls. The Curved Wall Gallery is thrilled to show this important collection of work. Open Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm, and Saturdays from 9am-2pm. Entry is free.

Showing at Hoyts, Wells St, Frankston Having languished in development hell for eight years, the arrival of Stephen King’s 1986 novel It on the big screen couldn’t be more timely. Twentyseven years after the well-received TV mini-series, It returns to haunt a new generation. Given the source material’s 1138 pages, It is the first film in a planned duology (something last month’s ill-fated King adaptation of The Dark Tower could have greatly benefited from), which allows it plenty of room to breathe. For the uninitiated, the film centres on seven kids in small-town Derry, Maine who dub themselves “The Losers Club” and battle an evil entity known as It, which can take the form of whatever you fear, though It is most commonly portrayed as Pennywise the Dancing Clown (Bill Skarsgård – who never appears to be given the opportunity to leave his mark on the role). Director Andres Muschietti (Mama) shifts the story from the original ‘50s setting to the ’80s and it works like a charm, crafting a coming-of-age story (not unlike King’s Stand By Me) trading on nostalgia. Clocking in at two hours and 15 minutes, It spends much of the film’s running time focused on The Losers Club individually facing down their biggest phobias. These moments provide some well-timed jump scares, yet it’s the personal conflicts played out on screen which are arguably more disturbing than the more obvious horror tropes. Despite playing to convention, It does justice to the novel’s greatest strengths, making it one of the finest King adaptations ever to grace the screen. Bring on Chapter 2! SCOTT JACKSON HHHH
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is excited to bring its finest players and a gorgeous repertoire to Frankston Arts Centre for a very special concert. In this concert, British clarinet virtuoso Michael Collins (pictured) returns to play with and conduct the MSO in a riveting series of works, including the dynamic Ornamental Air, written for him especially by MSO’s composer in residence, Elena Kats-Chernin. Also on the program is Dvorak’s Serenade for Winds and one of Mendelssohn’s Konzertstücke, in which Collins will be joined by the 2015 ABC Symphony Australia Young Performer of

Ben Jansz has wanted to play music for as long as he can remember. Given his first guitar at the age of 10, he acquired his first residency at 16 and has gigged all around the Peninsula, Melbourne and regional Victoria ever since. Blending alternative indie rock with folk and roots, the Peninsula muso has won the Gods Kitchen Tuesdays vocal competition and performed on the recent Victorian Music Crawl Tour. In 2015 he headed north to Byron Bay, where he met Ben Taggart and Michael Aragon
busking on the streets. They formed The Bengel Tigers and played for a few months before Taggart went overseas. Ben and Michael then formed Lions Eye and continued performing around the Byron region before Ben, having written and recorded his first EP on the Gold Coast, made his way back to Victoria to release it. Since returning, Ben’s reputation has boomed on the Peninsula and he got
his first ticketed event supporting one his greatest inspirations, Kim Churchill. Ben includes John Butler, Foo Fighters, Bob Marley, Xavier Rudd and Matt Corby among his other influences and lives by his mantra: “Tomorrow I’ll be better than yesterday.” Ben believes the only person you should strive to be greater than is yourself, making the possibilities for self-growth limitless.

showcasing locally made • grown • produced Joe’s passion for steel has grown over the years and developed to now include timber, which is reflected in the beautiful work he creates today. He has spent thousands of hours learning his craft and perfecting it to a fine art. Everything he does is unique and created with love and dedication. Increasingly, Joe is focusing on sculptural furniture, which combines his industrial design skills with his love of unique art pieces. He works very closely with his clients to create something truly unique and memorable. There is no compromise in quality with his artwork - the process from inspiration to finished product normally takes one to three months - and Joe will also install the piece in your home, garden or gallery. Joe is very passionate about using only 100 per cent Australian-made Corten steel and Australian timber. He sources timber from all around Australia and highlights the natural patterns and flaws to the best advantage he can. Recent pieces have also included local custom-made glass that helps to accentuate the design. Joe currently has one of his pieces, a table, in Inspire Gallery in Mornington.

McCrae’s Alatonero restaurant has been named the Best New Regional Restaurant at the Restaurant & Catering Industry Association’s 2017 Victoria and Tasmania Awards for Excellence. Owner Jacqui Poulier says she was delighted when Alatonero’s win was announced at the ceremony at Peninsula Docklands. “It took us a few seconds to comprehend what had just happened; we were in complete shock.” Jacqui, who opened Alatonero in October last year, said the award “is recognition that we are meeting our customers’ expectations and exceeding industry benchmarks. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication from our staff to consistently deliver a high

quality food and beverage experience”. Alatonero was born from a passion for Greece, its food, people and culture. “Winning this award has been an excellent vehicle to introduce our venue to other industry professionals and customers alike.” Alatonero has had no time to rest on its laurels, busy getting ready for the peak season starting in October, with the installation of its stunning new “Garden of Alatonero” as well as opening for Greek-style breakfast on the weekends. “Our breakfast offering is quite different to your usual cafe breakfast fare. We wanted to offer something uniquely Greek, serving up delicious authentic dishes like spanakopita, tiropita and bougatsa.” Alatonero will also include some non-traditional Greek breakfast items including an egg and bacon roll and Greek yoghurt with fruit.
R&CA chief executive Juliana Payne said Alatonero should be proud of its achievement. “Running a hospitality business isn’t easy – there’s a lot of blood, sweat and tears that goes into making it work. But when you get the right mix of staff, produce and service, the results can be extraordinary.” Alatonero will now compete with other regional finalists at the national R&CA Awards for Excellence on October 30.

Now in its sixth season, it has become a must-visit destination with plenty on show, including live music, activities for the kids, craft workshops and mouthwatering street food. Little Beauty is quickly following
suit and gathering popularity while bringing the community together in the gorgeous surrounds of Beauty Park. “The success of our trial markets in March and April were testament to the strength of the local support,” says curator Vanessa Johnson. “We would love to thank the residents of Frankston as well as local creators and makers for being part of this exciting new community event. We can’t wait to be back!” Emu Plains Market, Balnarring, returns on October 21 from 9am-2pm while Little Beauty Market, Frankston, reopens on October 28 with a new time of 10am-3pm.

Deon Jansen, Ad Hoc Mount Eliza, 1/84 Mt Eliza Way, Mount Eliza Tell us a little about your background? I spent two years working at a well-known Peninsula winery as head chef. Previously I was the head chef at the very well known Oxo Tower Brasserie in London for 16 years, where I learnt to cook food from many different countries. I love to cook with spice and mixing different textures in my dishes. Why did you choose Mount Eliza? We loved the village feel to Mount Eliza; it seemed to have a strong community feel to it. With great independent shops we knew it would be a good spot for a new café bistro to open. What’s on the menu right now that we should know about? Spring and summer are my favourite times of the year. Think fresh vibrant flavours, heritage tomatoes, local asparagus, broad beans and lots of cool salads. Check out our grilled spiced calamari with roasted tomato, shaved fennel salad, Mt Zero olives and rocket
aioli; sweet corn zucchini fritters with crispy bacon, green pea feta smash, poached egg and kasundi relish; crispy pork belly with roasted candied peanuts, Asian slaw, sticky soy and Korean chili dressing; and smoked salmon open herb omelette with heritage tomatoes, asparagus, goats’ curd and sourdough. What’s your most popular dish? Our most popular item is the avocado smash with daikon radish, hazelnut dukka, Red Hill goats’ curd, poached egg and micro herbs. What do you love to do on the Peninsula when not at work? I love to go riding my mountain bike up at Red Hill, and spending time on the beach and in my pool with family cooking a great barbecue is hard to beat! I just love the Peninsula.

Spring has now well and truly arrived and we turn our attention to a style of wine that is synonymous with the Spring Racing Carnival - traditional Methode Champenoise, or Aussie sparkling wine made like Champagne. As most people know, these wines can no longer be called Champagne because they weren’t grown and made in that region of France, but these are Mornington Peninsula versions from small producers using the traditional French method and are perfect when the sun comes out.
Morning Sun Sparkling Cuvee $45 At the cellar door, they teach the value of the fine bubbles that can only be achieved from bottle fermentation in the true French way: “Ladies, if it’s not fine bubbles, he’s a cheapskate; get rid of him!” These are on full display with this lovely sparkling wine that has some of the bready, yeasty characteristics that the great Champagne houses are famous for, while also displaying some nice fruit. A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this is the most complex of the group and would age the best, but is drinking really well now.
OCTOBER 2017 (71)
Old Apple Shed Premium Cuvee
Pier 10 Pearl Sparkling Rose $40
This is a seriously crisp and refreshing wine. Recently we opened a couple of bottles at my daughter’s 1st birthday party, and a friend who doesn’t know too much about wine was heard to say enthusiastically “Oh my god, I could skol this!” High praise. Although displaying characteristics of Champagne, this wine isn’t trying to be anything too complicated; it is just a delicious “drink when the sun is out” kind of wine.
Pier 10 has really found a niche with its sparkling wines. It has a range of four, with its top-shelf Crystal retailing at $100. When speaking to cellar door manager Craig, the brief was to “give me something fun that people can drink at their Melbourne Cup barbecue”. He really hit the brief with this one. It is fresh and crisp with a hint of creaminess and, being 100 per cent Pinot Noir, displaying some lovely strawberry notes. A delightful wine.

PROPERTY OF THE MONTH
Links to the past and the future Attention all developers and visionaries: in a secluded street within the former grounds of the original Mornington Golf Club, this substantial allotment of approximately 936sq m complete with its original circa 1960s residence - is awaiting the next stage of its colourful life. Surrounded by substantial new beachside homes, the three-bedroom residence at 23 Kooyonga Grove, Mornington, is sound enough for short-term rental investment yet ripe for immediate redevelopment (STCA) in what has rapidly become Mornington’s beachside growth corridor. The walking tracks and beaches of Port Phillip Bay, Dava Drive shops, professional services and bus routes are a mere few minutes’ walk away, and it’s only a short drive along the Esplanade to the restaurants and boutique shopping of Mornington’s Main St. With everything so close, this most desirable Mornington Peninsula lifestyle is easily accessible, as is the fast route to Melbourne via Peninsula Link. The elevated block, which has gas, electricity and sewerage connected, has an outlook to tranquil parkland and is in a secluded street in a quiet neighbourhood with no passing traffic. The expected price range for the property is $970,000-$1.06 million and it will be open for inspection on Saturday, October 7, at 11am. For further details, call Bill Branthwaite at Nicholas Lynch Real Estate on 0438 148 858. NICHOLAS LYNCH REAL ESTATE A: Suite 8, 1A Main St, Mornington T: 1300 487 469 W: nicholaslynch.com.au

It just gets better and better. Latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows Melbourne real estate prices streaking ahead of Sydney’s. Melbourne property prices rose 3.0 per cent during the June quarter, according to ABS data released in September, compared with 2.3 per cent for Sydney. This continues to flow through to the Mornington Peninsula, where many of these happy city sellers are buying up real estate, fuelling a surge in buying activity and unprecedented sales results. Honor Baxter, who has been selling in the area since 1995, said: “Adding to this beachside desirability is the Peninsula Link road network, which means we can commute to the city in an easy hour. The best place in the world to live is just an easy one hour’s drive from the world’s most liveable city. “To preserve what we have we should think carefully about future land grabs and, in particular, plans for increased density and increased height limits. What we have is too precious to lose.” If you are considering selling or simply interested in the value of your home in this market, ring Honor and the Hockingstuart team to discuss a suitable time to catch up on 0418 148 468.

Trunks packed with history When a pair of Louis Vuitton 1920s trunks with the initials ‘V.A.F.’ found their way to Deco Heaven at the Tyabb Packing House, it was obvious the story they held was one that needed to be told. Valerie Anne was a beautiful English woman and darling of the social set. The trunks are from the time of her second

marriage to ‘Fergie’, an American from the West Coast of the US, and the trunks, with their new ‘V.A.F.’ monogram for ‘Valerie Anne Ferguson’, were loaded on to the Queen Mary for the trip to the States and her new home. It isn’t often one gets such detailed information about the things that pass through our hands, but every item has a story. Whether it is the bakelite telephone or radio that brought news both good and bad into homes, or the cocktail shakers and glasses for times of

celebration, those stories are there. A wonderful period, often there are items that strike a familiar chord in people’s memories, perhaps of loving grandparents having had something similar. The music of the times evokes Fred and Ginger, when people danced with each other. Jewellery, whether emeralds and diamonds or bakelite plastic, was flamboyant and worn with panache. Mirrors reflected both the boldness of the cocktail party and the gentility of afternoon tea.

BATHROOM!! SERVICES INCLUDE: Leaking shower specialist
Indoor & outdoor tile cleaning & sealing Pre-sale makeovers Mouldy showers re-grouted
A shower recess is one of the most used and harshly treated parts of your house. In some cases it will be used four to eight times a day, especially in summer and on sports days. It is then subjected to harsh chemicals and constant moisture, barely getting a chance to dry out. This causes the grout and the silicone to become weak. If not maintained properly it will eventually cause the recess to leak into its surrounds. Bayside Grout Solutions owner/operator Jorg says sure signs of this are damaged door frames and plaster
boards, and wet carpets adjoining the bathroom. In some cases, showers leak due to poor installation and ill-fitting screens. So why not have the shower recess serviced - just like you do a car - by giving it a full ‘rejuvenation’. Jorg will replace the grout and all the seals and polish all the surfaces so the shower gleams like new again, giving you many more years of use. All this can be done in a day in most cases, and your shower will be back in action 36 hours later for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. For a free no-obligation quote, call Jorg on 0424 843 358.

If you thought balustrading and pool fencing wasn’t glamorous, think again. Mornington-based Precision Installs is one of Melbourne’s go-to suppliers and installers of quality balustrading, pool fencing, splashbacks, mirrors, showers and privacy screens. Think Jackalope. The Precision Installs team have worked extensively on this development. That glass staircase seen in Jackalope’s stunning hotel marketing imagery is the work of the Precision Installs team. They spent nine months at the multi-million-dollar luxury hotel site during construction, installing state-ofthe-art pool fencing, balustrading, mirrors, showers, splashbacks and more in the hotel suites, the bar, the staircase, the restaurant, the kitchen and even the designer bathrooms. Their point of difference is unrivalled attention to detail and state-of-the-art in-house fabrication. As Clint says: “We can do anything in aluminium, stainless steel and glass. Basically, if you can draw it, we can make it.” The team are continually researching the upcoming trend in design and materials to ensure a cutting-edge finish can be achieved. Curved glass, large louvre screens, glass roofing and even 150m of glass for Bosch HQ’s stairs in Clayton - no job is too complicated. This professional team offer quality advice and planning assistance to help you “finish the dream”, no matter the project size.

Finally. The sun has started to shine. The soil has started to warm up. And the plants have really started to put on new growth. It’s been a very slow start to spring, but here we are and it’s time to get back into the garden to ensure we have plenty to harvest during summer and autumn. The most popular time for food gardeners is upon us warm season crop planting. If you haven’t germinated your seeds yet you may want to purchase some seedlings from your local nursery. There is still time to propagate a few vegetable varieties, but make a start with some bought ones and add to them later with successive plantings. Most of your warm season vegetables can go in the ground now, though you can hold off on the capsicum and chillies for a month or so until the soil warms a little more. All of the larger cropping plants such as tomato, tomatillo, eggplant, bean, cucumber, melon, pumpkin and corn can all go in. Also your leafy greens and salad vegetables can continue to be planted every few weeks, unless you have managed to let them self-sow successfully (definitely the way to go).

When deciding on numbers of plants to put in this season, think back to the previous year to determine whether you had enough to get you through. It’s always better to have too much than too little. If you end up with a bigger harvest than you expected or wanted then there are a few ways you can deal with this - give, trade and swap. You can give your excess away to friends, family or those in need. You can trade for other goods and services for those willing to accept your clean grown produce. Or you can “post” your excesses on the “Southern Peninsula Food Swap” Facebook page and perhaps receive something you don’t have in return.

Another way to deal with a bumper harvest is to consider preserving. Many people preserve their tomatoes in the form of passatas and chutneys/jams or simply just chopped. The idea of preserving is to reduce the amount you have to purchase until your next harvest. So, for example, you will need around 15-20 tomato plants to preserve enough to feed a family of four until the following year. But it’s not just tomatoes you can preserve. Cucumbers, pumpkins, beans, capsicum, chilli, tomatillo, corn … the list goes on. Probably the best idea if you think you might want to embark on a preserving journey is to get yourself a good book or a good website. It’ll save you a heap of money, reduce a heap of waste and give you heaps of satisfaction. Preserves also make wonderful gifts. As always, make sure your plants are mulched very well and receiving adequate water. Naked, dry soils will never produce optimum crops. With a little care we will soon be reaping the delicious rewards of our work.

Let’s talk about coffee and its cup – paper, plastic, glass, ceramic. There’s lots of ways you can take it, have it on the go, get it hot to trot. Fill your own, or grab a spot of recyclable matter. But where do all the takeaway coffee cups go? Which ones are recyclable and who’s responsible for washing the ones that the bunch of brilliant brew addicts bring from home? Want to know? Steady yourself! Aussies love their disposable coffee cups. It’s been estimated that we use approximately one billion a year and they are the second largest contributor to litter waste after plastic bottles. Yikes! Most ‘paper’ cups actually have thin layers of plastic inside that don’t break down. There are biodegradable cups, but using an additive in the oil-based plastic lining
that should break down when deprived of oxygen hasn’t been scientifically proven, and not all cafes use them because they are expensive. So, what’s the answer other than landfill and suffocating our land? Last month at the Mt Eliza Farmers Market there was a small wooden shelf with coffee mugs on it. There was a sign encouraging people to grab one, fill it up and return it washed and ready for the next person. There’s also talk of a Mount Eliza Village cup specifically designed for reusable purposes. Pops Café in Ranelagh Drive, Mount Eliza, accepts the bring-your-own-cup philosophy - but although on board in the fight against waste, the café finds it hard to fit some cups under its coffee machine. Ad Hoc in Mount Eliza Way is happy to fill re-usable cups, as is Jim from Laneway Espresso in Dromana, who says it’s the way forward and even offers a discount for those who do it. There’s no quick answer to this overwhelming problem, but there are some things that everyone can do to help reduce coffee cup waste. If you are buying a coffee on the run, you can refuse a lid, choose a cup made from rapidly renewable resources or, better yet, bring a reusable one that you intend to wash yourself and that will fit in the café’s machine. Food for thought! Now, time to get drinking …
TILE AND GROUT CLEANING
Porcelain floor tiles
Here’s how to get your porcelain and ceramic floor tiles and grout to gleam and sparkle like new, with our tile cleaning, grout cleaning service. Our clients are absolutely astounded when they see this system actually work on their own floors, and you will be too. This exciting system does not just remove years of built up dirt and grime from tiled floors, it also removes detergent residues from the grout lines. Detergent residues can make the grout lines appear discoloured and patchy. In fact, detergents actually make the grout more porous, thereby collecting more dirt. This spoils the look of your floors and leads to them resoling relatively quickly.
Ceramic Floor Tiles
By removing detergent residues, as well as soils, grout lines return their original colour, and, with a little care, you will be able to keep your floor looking cleaner for longer.
