BY KATE SEARS Mulberry Hill, the home of Sir Daryl and Lady Joan Lindsay, has reopened after its two-month hiatus. Sir Daryl, a successful printmaker and painter, was director of the National Gallery of Victoria from 1941 to 1956 and helped establish the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) in 1956, becoming its first president. Lady Joan, a writer and artist best known for the classic novel Picnic at Hanging Rock, also wrote Time Without Clocks, which focused on the couple’s life together at
Mulberry Hill. It’s no surprise, given their dedication to the arts, that the Lindsays bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust. In 1925, Sir Daryl and Lady Joan added an American Colonial-style house to the pre-existing four-room 1880s weatherboard cottage on the property and transformed it into the house you can see today. Set on a stunning 11.7ha block surrounded by picturesque countryside, Mulberry Hill is filled with fine Georgian furniture and glassware, Staffordshire
ceramics and a collection of Australian art. When you enter the house you’re instantly transported back in time to see first-hand how the Lindsays lived. You can inspect Sir Daryl’s painting projects and see the typewriter that Lady Joan used. Guided tours will enable you to discover how the home was created with mementos of the Lindsays’ world travels while making use of local reclaimed materials. National Trust guides can answer any questions that may arise as you bask in the diverse works of art and rich history that the property has to offer. Wander among the grounds as you locate the Lindsays’ original vegetable garden and stumble upon simple outbuildings used to maintain

the property. You can also pack a picnic to enjoy on the lawn under a mulberry tree. Mulberry Hill, 385 Golf Links Rd, Langwarrin South, is open on Sundays from 11am-4pm for guided tours (last admission to the house is 3.30pm) and by appointment for special events. It is closed during July and August and on Christmas Day. Admission is $4 for children, $7 concession, $10 for adults and $26 for a family of two adults and two children; National Trust members are admitted free of charge. To arrange a group tour or acquire tickets, phone the booking office on 9656 9889 weekdays. For more details, go to nationaltrust. org.au/places/mulberry-hill/ SEPTEMBER 2017

ED’S A happy little Vegemite BY KATE SEARS
So this excitable young man was offered to Ella, a self-confessed emu nut who had worked previously at the sanctuary. She knew Ed was lovely and that he’d fit right in with her four other emus. Ed was enthusiastically added to the flock; however, it didn’t go to plan. “The other emus ostracised him. His lack of social skills with the other emus were the downfall; he just couldn’t seem to build a relationship with any of them. He now happily coexists with chooks, dogs, and cats. Humans are definitely his friend of choice; even my friends’ toddlers just adore him.”
Vegemite sandwiches, cuddles with humans and walks to the kitchen make Ed a happy camper. Ed the emu enjoys his new paddock at home with Ella after he was politely asked to leave the Moonlit Sanctuary because he was causing a ruckus with his friends. Sound familiar? “He was fighting with the other emus & trying to mate the keepers!” says Ella.
OUR
COVER
This endearing feathered friend follows everyone into the house, and if you’re not careful you’ll often find him in the kitchen. He’s a fussy eater and will always take a cuddle over food. Generally, he settles on eating what the chooks eat but is extremely partial to a Vegemite sandwich. “All emus like sandwiches, especially Vegemite sangas, which is why most humans have a fear of emus,” Ella explains. “If you go into a paddock with emus and you don’t have a sanga, they’ll generally leave you alone.”
Ella has never had a fear of emus and now we know the secret to taming them - or buying their love. Surprisingly, Ella the emu whisperer fails in one regard at keeping mischievous Mister Ed in line. Ed is a good-looking rooster with a long tail - and he knows it. Therefore, when it comes to mating season, he’s cheeky and isn’t picky at all – he’s even shown interest in a dog! This is OK because Ed is more like a dog anyway, according to Ella. It’s a result of lots of human contact at the sanctuary, so in turn he’s not the stereotypical “scatty emu”. This birdbrain is such a character and enjoys the odd selfie bomb with Ella, and she doesn’t mind at all.

Bella May is having the standout year of her sporting life. At just 11 years old, this Seaford youngster is leaving her competitors in the dust as she blazes a brilliant path on two wheels. Bella’s already gained the title of BMX racing national champion and nothing’s going to stop her in her bid to one day represent Australia at the Olympics. Currently seeded No.1 in her age group, she puts her amazing success down to her “never give up” attitude. This includes training five times a week and setting personal goals that she strives to reach every day. This mature young lady with attitude to boot also holds the No.1 ranking in Victoria and the ACT. She captained the Australian girls’ team to victory against New Zealand and next month she will again represent Australia against New Zealand, but this time as the team’s No.1 rider.
Frankly Frankston asked Robyn May how her daughter got involved in BMX. “We drove past (the Frankston BMX Club) by chance when there was an event on and we stopped to have a look. When Bella saw them racing she looked at my husband and I and she said ‘This is for me!’”
Since then, this rider hasn’t let her age stop her in her tracks. Her love for BMX racing is running deep in her veins after passionately pursuing the sport for almost four years now. If you can catch sight of this little spitfire, you’ll find she’s as headstrong as ever and gone in a flash!

Season of Excellence a showcase of talent Famous French artist Henri Matisse once said, “Creativity takes courage.” Toorak College’s Season of Excellence evening showcases the outstanding talents and achievements of its VCE students across the Arts; celebrating both creativity and courage.
Toorak Collegians, Jessica Wu (TC’14) an accomplished pianist, and Jessica Baker (TC’15) equally talented on the flute, are two examples of gifted musicians who were able to use their passion for music studying the subject they loved. Season of Excellence guests can enjoy musical performances from students of this year’s VCE Music Performance class.
Toorak has an extensive Arts program comprising Studio Arts, Visual Communication Design, Art,
Media, Product Design and Technology, Drama and Music Performance. The Performing Arts program embraces VCE Drama, with pathways underway for girls to study VCE Dance in the very near future. “Studying Drama and gaining the knowledge and practical skills in performance has helped me in so many ways, especially in building confidence and in public speaking,” says Year 11 student, Hannah. “At the Season of Excellence evening, I will be performing

The evening will also highlight the final pieces from the Visual Arts and Technology subjects, including Sculpture, Installation, Photography, Film, Garments, Designs, Drawings, Paintings, Conceptual, Traditional, Ceramic, Digital, Darkroom experiments and more. This year’s Art Prefect Sophie Fairbridge used her talent for Fashion Design in 2016 to make a strong statement about environmental responsibility with her Great Barrier Reef design. “Its purpose was to show people the beauty of the magnificent reef so they would want to help save it,” Sophie says. Her garment was selected to be part of the Top Designs exhibition at the Melbourne Museum.
my Unit 4 VCE Drama solo as preparation for my final performance later in the year. After school I hope to study theatre at University and continue performing.” For passionate music students, Music Performance allows girls who have been learning an instrument, including Voice, as part of the co-curricular program to use their talents in a VCE subject.
Toorak College warmly invites you to attend its VCE Season of Excellence evening on Wednesday, September 20, from 4.30-7.30pm. Toorak looks forward to sharing the works and passion of the next generation of artists with you.

Madison weaves her magic in LA BY YAZMINE LOMAX
Madison Daniel has been singing and acting since birth and is now living her dream in sunny Los Angeles. At just 20 years old, Madison has already scored some mega roles, including her recent stint playing Hugo Weaving’s daughter in the Aussie drama Seven Types of Ambiguity. “I was in LA when my Australian manager called me and said that the casting director for ABC really liked my work,” the Peninsula resident says. “I filmed a scene for her to watch that wasn’t for any particular project so I just had fun with it. About a week later my manager called me again and said, ‘Hey, you’ve got this role on a new ABC series playing Hugo Weaving’s daughter’.” Luckily, the show’s filming schedule lined up with her planned trip home, and soon after touching back down in Melbourne Madison was shooting alongside superstars like Hugo and Xavier Samuel. “Hugo is such a cool and interesting character in himself so it was awesome to call him ‘Dad’.”

( 10
Since the series wrapped up, Madison has returned to LA and is busy auditioning around the city for such producers as Leonardo DiCaprio and
Kevin James, and offices such as Warner Bros, Paramount and Fox. “I’m really getting into comedy as I’ve always enjoyed auditioning for Disney and Nickelodeon. My plan is to be cast in a CW Network teen series,” she says. “I’m also writing (music) every day and working with producers creating new songs and filming music videos.” Madison’s family have been nothing but supportive of her dream; her grandfather was a “musical genius” who taught her piano and music theory, and her auntie is a singer. “Hands down my biggest inspiration comes from my family and I’m learning more and more each day how important their support, spirit and guidance has been for me to manifest what I want to achieve, be myself at whatever cost and believe that I can do anything that I set my mind to.” So, besides her family, what does Madison miss most about home? “The non-LA traffic - it seriously sucks. I miss driving too; I take on average 28 Ubers a week! I also miss not being across the road from the beach instead of travelling 30 minutes to an hour to Santa Monica or Venice.” A self-professed ‘Hannah Montana’ who’s got the best of both worlds, Madison loves travelling between Australia and the US to pursue her goals. Stay tuned, folks!

Georgia Smith likes big words and chatting to people. That’s how she found herself studying medicine, a course that’s already taken her on an energising trip to the Polynesian kingdom of Tonga. Along with four other med students, the Peninsula resident took off to Tonga in June where she volunteered in hospitals and in the community to understand and address the issues of diabetes and hypertension. It was a trip that involved visiting rural villages, setting up stalls in Vava’u to test blood pressure and sugar levels, and - to Georgia’s delight gabbing with local youth groups. “My favourite moment was sitting on some steps in the middle of the main street and taking two ladies’ blood pressure,” Georgia recalls. “Before we knew it, we had taxi drivers pulling over to check their blood pressure and construction workers having their fingers pricked on their break and getting competitive with their sugar reading results.”
( 12
Although she’ll be spending the next few years on placement in either Bendigo or Mildura, Georgia’s interested in using her skills to help those closer to home. “I’m massively keen to get involved in projects around the Peninsula and Frankston,” she says. “I’m particularly excited about the success of mental health initiatives around Frankston and hope to be able to get involved in the future.” This will see her following in the footsteps of two of her biggest inspirations: her mum and grandmother. Both have lived in and loved our corner of the globe for years and worked passionately in schools and health centres respectively. “I also have massive admiration for people like Dr Ranjana Srivastava OAM,” Georgia says. “She’s an oncologist who engages the public in discussion with her writing and broadcasting. I really like the idea of medicine being broadly accessible, exciting and understood.” So while she’s said “Nofo ā” to Tonga for now, expect Doctor Georgia to be popping up around the world soon!

Each new life delivers joy to doctor
Kate Sears from Frankly Frankston chats to Jolyon Ford, the newly appointed Clinical Director of Women’s Health at Peninsula Health, about motivation, his most rewarding career moments and why you shouldn’t stress over organic food. How has the change of positions treated you?
I am really enjoying my new position. I am no stranger to full-time public work as this is a common career path in the UK, but at the same time I had really enjoyed my experience setting up a private practice at The Bays Hospital in Mornington over the last five years. When I was offered the job of Clinical Director of Women’s Health at Peninsula Health it was a difficult decision to give up the practice I worked hard to set up but also to leave the patients that I developed a great rapport with. The rewarding aspect of private practice is being able to develop that therapeutic relationship, especially during pregnancy care, and guide someone through what can be a challenging experience. Likewise, in gynaecology it is very rewarding to follow patients up and make sure they are improving. In my new role I can make changes to improve the service of the whole department and therefore benefit a larger number
( 14
of patients in the whole community. Like all jobs it can be rewarding and challenging, but I enjoy every day I am at work and it is exciting to see some of the changes we introduced having positive results already.
What’s been the most rewarding experience of your career? I am lucky in my field of medicine that the rewards still come on a regular basis. Even today I helped someone deliver their baby and feel honoured that I was there at one of the most special times in their lives. The most rewarding times are when you have helped someone through a time of immense tragedy, such as losing a baby, which is such a rare but awful experience, only to see them brave their way through another pregnancy and be there to help bring another life into the world. Of course, it’s a time of very mixed emotions grief and joy at the same time - but again it’s an honour to help guide women and their families through momentous life experiences. What’s the best health advice you can give our female readers? This is going to be boring but the core advice for ideal health is a good diet and regular exercise. Don’t sweat about the small stuff like which superfood or antioxidants you need – most of that stuff makes minimal difference. People are not getting sick
because they are not eating organic or having enough kale or quinoa; they are getting sick because they succumb to the intense marketing of unhealthy processed or sugary food and drink. Stick to the fresh food aisles where possible. Drink coffee and alcohol in moderation and keep your body fit. Exercise is a great way to clear the mind. What does the future hold for health services on the Mornington Peninsula? The Peninsula population is growing at a steady pace and in women’s health we are becoming large enough to provide care for many conditions without women having to travel to the city. My goal in the next few years is to allow these services to grow, and I hope to develop improved services for high-risk pregnancies, gynaecology outpatients, more streamlined management of prolapse and incontinence, and for the early diagnosis of causes of pain such as cysts and endometriosis. On top of that, Peninsula Health is expanding its research interests, which we aim to become part of. The next five to 10 years could also be an exciting time for the whole hospital, but it’s too early to say anything else at this stage. Watch this space! What motivates you?
Seeing the results of my work is, of course, very rewarding. This can be on a personal level as a doctor but now on a larger scale. Seeing that our service is improving over time is immensely satisfying. What gets me out of bed in the morning is the chance to work with some amazing doctors, midwives and nurses, as well as the other awesome staff in the hospital. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? I love spending time with my wife, Jo, and two girls. Lily loves playing music and Rose and I play guitar, go swimming and go rock climbing when we can. Music is our day-today passion with a great music room in the heart of the house. I also love making furniture, baking bread and in the summer swimming in the bay.

BY KATE SEARS A wander along Boggy Creek in Langwarrin prompted Suzie Webster to form Friends of Langwarrin Outdoors and Waterways (FLOW). Suzie was on her daily afternoon walk with her mum and toddler when they became increasingly frustrated by how bad rubbish and pollution was in the area. “Then one day we saw some brand-new ducklings trying to swim around and over plastic bags, bottles and Styrofoam balls,” Suzie said. “Just like that we went and started picking it up each week. We then decided that we needed to actually start a group so we could have more people helping us as the problem was too big for us.” FLOW’s four main members - Suzie, her mum, Nicole and Wayne - are supported regularly by eight other volunteers, and Suzie’s toddler Max even joins in on the mission. The group’s biggest concern is the Langwarrin environment and the encroaching development on open spaces, and its main goal is to protect and conserve the environment of Langwarrin as well as educate the community and motivate people to get on board.
“We have a vast array of wildlife in Langwarrin and we are losing so much of their habitat. The impact that litter is having on the environment is a huge concern also.” FLOW’s next big clean-up is on Sunday, September 24, from 10am-noon and will focus on Boggy Creek and the area around Lloyd Park, where the group collected a disgusting total of 418kg of rubbish during Clean Up Australia Day last March. Everyone is welcome to get involved, and there will be a barbecue lunch afterwards for the volunteers. FLOW targets areas for clean-ups as well as other issues as they are brought to its attention by other nature lovers. The group is currently fighting the potential subdivision of Cruden Farm as well as the development of 16 units that are planned for the edge of Boggy Creek in Athol Court, Langwarrin. It successfully lobbied for wildlife crossing signs in several areas in Langwarrin as well as the installation of extra rubbish bins, and it regularly consults VicRoads and Frankston Council regarding
( 16
the state of roadsides covered in litter and the illegal dumping of rubbish. “We are also trying to ban the use of plastic ‘donation’ bags for clothing collections, as the bags end up in the waterways and the clothes end up strewn across the roads.” To become aware of the environmental issues affecting us and to join FLOW’s spring clean-up, make sure to follow the group on Facebook @ FLOWenvironmentalgroup.

BY KATE SEARS Street art is about to take over key locations in Frankston’s city centre, transforming bleak walls with blazes of colour. Frankston City Council and the State Government have combined their artistic visions as part of the $63 million Frankston station precinct redevelopment that will add to the city’s appeal as a place in which to live, work, study, invest and visit. “Council has had a long-term commitment towards delivering free public art right across the municipality,” Mayor Brian Cunial said. Cr Cunial said there was a strong desire to make Frankston City a destination for visitors and investors as well as students, workers and residents. This initiative will bring more business and people to the city centre and create an inviting outdoor exhibition for everyone to enjoy. “We want to create a sense of arrival as part of the Frankston station
precinct redevelopment. We’ll do this by making the laneways in the heart of our city more interesting, engaging and attractive for everyone who walks through.” A street art festival over the 201819 summer is also part of the plan and will feature street artworks, installations, demonstrations, and tours of Frankston’s laneways. Frankston state Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said the festival will engage local, national and international artists as well as youth programs and schools to participate and show off their artistic flair. “This street art masterplan complements the existing works including redeveloping Young St, building the new train station and removing the Overton Rd level crossing, which will transform Frankston’s heart into a more attractive and safe environment which will attract locals and tourists alike,” Mr Edbrooke said. “The Victorian Government’s funding of the masterplan will contribute to
Frankston reaching its full potential by attracting locals to the largest city on the Peninsula.”

More than 350 riders aged from two to 50-plus descended on the Frankston Sharks BMX track on August 18 for Helltrack Round 6 of the Victorian state series. “It was amazing to see so many people from all over Victoria and interstate turn up to race,” said club president Robyn May. “The event had a friendly and energetic vibe with many of the

Frankston Sharks riders doing so well and heading in the direction of state and Australian champions.” The track has recently been brought up to a higher standard to host these large events thanks to the tireless work from the mum and dad volunteers that keep the club going and money from Frankston City Council for the newly added bitumen berms and other necessities. In fact, the track is of such a high standard that it is one of only four in Victoria
that offers a pro straight to host proclass BMX racing events.
people will come down to the club and get involved,” Robyn said.
BMX is currently experiencing 1980s-era growth, and that can be attributed to its status as an Olympic sport – it debuted at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 - and TV shows such as The Riders Life.
Not only is BMX a fun and challenging sport for all ages, it’s great for health and fitness. Mums and dads are also getting involved, with some hopping back in the rider’s seat and reliving their youth.

Freedom transforms aged care Freedom Aged Care is a network of ground-breaking home care communities that are transforming the very way we think about – and deliver aged care.
June receives the care she needs in her own unit from Freedom Aged Care personal carer Ellie.
With their focus firmly on freedom of choice, togetherness, independence and care, Freedom Aged Care communities are vibrant social hubs where residents own their self-contained units, live together as couples regardless of their changing care needs, and are free to bring their pets. Family and friends are encouraged to stay over and share the Freedom amenities and activities, which include happy hour, movies, hair and beauty services and even vegie gardens and chook pens. Built on three key pillars – care, lifestyle and community – and four sacred values – love, decency, kindness and respect – everything about Freedom Aged Care is designed exclusively around meeting your physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Every level of personal and nursing care, from low to high, dementia and palliative, is available to you. Behind the everyday functioning of each Freedom community is a seamless support team comprising a registered nurse village manager, carers, diversional therapists or lifestyle co-ordinators, cooks, gardeners, maintenance and admin staff. For those who call Freedom home, of course, these dedicated individuals are simply family, just like

Get the lost dogs home BY KATE SEARS If your dog was spooked by fireworks or thunder and ran away, what would be your plan of action? Design and print flyers to plaster over street poles? What about social media? Facebook is filled with groups whose members are always happy to help find lost pets. Sharing a post by a distressed friend to my own personal wall resulted in another friend responding straight away, informing us that she’d seen a post about the dogs in another group. My friend’s pampered pooches had been rescued by a fellow fur-loving Facebook user who was desperately seeking their owner. This all

happened within 15 minutes - and on Christmas Day of all days. Frankston Council has embraced the online strategy and joined the North Melbourne Lost Dogs Home’s online impound registry for lost cats and dogs. The registry lists animals from the Bayside, Brimbank, Cardinia, Casey, Frankston, Greater Dandenong, Hobsons Bay, Hume, Kingston, Macedon Ranges, Maribyrnong, Port Phillip, Wyndham and Yarra councils. Animals that are found in other council areas will be added to the system as the Lost Dogs Home rolls out the service to participating councils. Visit dogshome.com
Triathlon a test of welders’ mettle
Victoria’s top welders descended on Chisholm in Frankston this month for the second annual WTIA Welding Triathlon. The event was run by the Welding Technology Institute of Australia for members and non-members of the WTIA in Victoria, with the 12 competitors ranging in experience from welding apprentices (Certificate III in Engineering Fabrication) to welders and welding instructors. Jesse Smolenaars was crowned best welder in Victoria and was awarded a special prize from Kemppi Australia. Cameron Runacres was second, Ben Hoareau third and Jake Adie fourth. Competitors demonstrated exceptional welding skills across three timed events - a horizontal fillet using the gas tungsten arc process
on aluminium; a single “V” vertical butt weld 10mm plate using flux core arc welding; and a pipe inclined on a 45-degree angle with a GTAW root weld capped by hydrogen controlled arc electrodes.
Event organiser and Chisholm teacher Rodney Bentvelzen said: “The event promotes welding as an attractive career choice, allowing participants to network with inspectors, fellow welders and industry leaders, and for the general public to check out our training facility here at Chisholm.” Anyone interested in taking part in next year’s welding triathlon can call Rodney on 9238 8233 or Robert Vernon on 0487 400 002.

Historic and modern art side by side McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery is holding two beautiful and contrasting exhibitions simultaneously until Sunday, November 12, featuring the works of sculptor Tina Wentcher and artist Stephen Haley.
Curator Ken Scarlett OAM has been working for many years on the poignant retrospective of Tina, who was born in Constantinople in 1887, and remembers meeting her before her death in 1974 in Melbourne. “She recounted her ‘lucky’ story of how she and her husband won a raffle ticket to travel to Asia just before Hitler and the Nazi party came to power.” Stephen Haley: Out of Place curator Simon Lawrie said the experience of developing the exhibition with Stephen was astounding. “The acclaimed artist passionately discusses through his work the two defining movements of our age: rapid global urbanisation and technological development.”
McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am5pm (closed Mondays and some public holidays). Entry is by donation. McCLELLAND SCULPTURE PARK + GALLERY A: 390 McClelland Drive, Langwarrin T: 9789 1671 W: mcclellandgallery.com

Students helping students The Keep On Learning program is a ground-breaking partnership between Wallara and Monash University. Initially led by Dr Sarah Hopkins, the program began in Berwick in 2014 and paired young adults with a disability who wanted to improve their literacy and numeracy skills with pre-service teachers who needed experience in creating inclusive classrooms.
This year the program was launched at Monash’s Peninsula campus under Dr Ruth Jeanes’ leadership with health and fitness students. It will
run for 11 weeks, with 18 Wallara clients taking part in a variety of health-related activities scheduled by Monash students. Two or three students are assigned to the role of ‘lead’ teacher and are responsible for planning, organising and reflecting on the session. Up to 60 Monash students overall are involved in the program, which ensures a wide variety of activities for the Wallara clients. The activities vary from physical exercise in the gym or dance studio to classroom sessions relating to
health and wellbeing. The team attended the first sessions and it was clear the students were creative in planning their sessions to ensure engagement throughout the course of the day.

“The program has been a wonderful opportunity for our student health and PE teachers to learn about how to work inclusively in real-life contexts,” Dr Jeanes said. “It is also a great way for the university and Faculty of Education to connect with our local communities. The students are clearly challenged to think how they can adapt their practice
to meet the diverse needs of the Wallara clients and it has been a great learning experience for them.” A Monash student said the program was challenging at times, but added: “I’ve learnt so much about how to teach inclusively.” This has also been an amazing opportunity for Wallara because its clients get to experience university life on campus and build relationships with a wonderful group of students. The most rewarding moment is when the Wallara clients proclaim: “I am going to uni today.”

Now we can really look up to Norm BY CAMERON HOWE
Carrum icon Norm Stephens is now immortalised in Station St after the completion of an art piece at Atticus Health. Norm has been a member of the Patterson River Fire Brigade for a staggering 72 years, and the mural depicts a bold, unwearied Norm in front of the bushfires he once fought. However, his passion isn’t just confined to the CFA - he was also treasurer of the Carrum Football Club for 12 years before becoming the club’s president. The Stephens family has a rich history in Carrum. William Stephens was both a councillor and mayor of the Borough of Carrum during the 1920s. Some years after William’s mayoralty, Beach St was renamed Stephens St in recognition of Norm’s grandfather’s contributions to the community, including his involvement in the construction of the war memorial that stands at The Beauty Spot. Dr Floyd Gomes commissioned Project Normie, and the vibrant mural adorns the side of the heritage-listed site on the second storey of Atticus Health. Dr Gomes describes Norm’s contributions as being broad and persistent. “One day he walked into my office dressed in his fire brigade volunteer shirt and pants, badge on, and after asking, I learnt that he had been a member of the Patterson River Fire Brigade for 72 years,” Dr Gomes says. “That blew me away. He simply loves the town.” Norm is overjoyed with the mural. “It makes you feel quite proud to be sitting up there,” he says. Artist Cam Scale turned the blank canvas into a talking point for the community, and money is being raised to cover the cost. You can donate via gofundme.com/normie www.franklyfrankston.com.au

For a short but exciting nine years, the Frankston Guitar Festival attracted hundreds of players from Australia and beyond. Oz legends Tommy Emmanuel, George Golla, Phil Manning, Ross Hannaford and Slava Grigoryan performed around the city, as did the likes of Martin Taylor (UK), Tony McManus (Ireland), Dan Crary (US), Beppe Gambetta (Italy) and David Lindley. Since its closure there have been several unsuccessful attempts to resurrect the event, so this year organisers are planning a huge party to mark the festival’s 20th anniversary, and lucky punters have
a whole weekend to catch up with and hear some of these superstars of guitar. Tickets are limited and are on sale only from Beach 162, 162 Beach St, Frankston (phone 9783 7109). Get into the rhythm at the Friday and Saturday night shows with a three-course dinner and show option on offer in the dining area. If you’re more into dancing and snacking, there’s finger food and show tickets for Friday and Saturday nights at the Beach 162 Garden Bar, and Saturday and Sunday afternoons will see individual artists on the Garden Bar stage - and perhaps even a few special guests as well!

Aghast from the past BY KATE SEARS is a chance to look back at it with a wink and a nudge. The show is pretty non-stop; we run around like nutters. It’s a rollercoaster through history. It’s exciting as a performer and an audience member.”
If you could squeeze England’s grisly but great history into an hour, make it humorous and interesting and fill it with some of the country’s most colourful historical figures, would you?
Letting slip some juicy details
Live Nation and the Birmingham Stage Company have done just that with Horrible Histories: The Best of Barmy Britain. Filled with laughs, quirky characters and quick wit, it’s a horribly funny and slightly twisted version of the history of Britain with the nasty bits left in and will be performed at Frankston Arts Centre on Sunday, September 24, at 11am. Based on the works of Terry Deary and Neal Foster, Horrible Histories will amaze, appal and delight you as you meet the most famous, infamous and dangerous characters from British history through audience participation. Songs, facts, funnies and farts will bring the stage alive in this acclaimed West End show.

about the play, Robin told us that the characters are quite insane, yet they all existed. As the show highlights the more horrible side of history, there’s even a skit on the bubonic plague, which highlights how far science has come. Robin truly relishes his time on stage with Pip Chamberlin, who plays Queenie. “We instantly set
Henry VIII was Robin’s favourite character to play. He’s a massive historical figure and he got away with so much. However, the show takes the mickey out of him so he’s fun to play. “I got stuck into making him even more absurd. It is a fun show to perform, but it’s challenging too.” This introduction to history has garnered great reviews, so it’s an ideal outing for the whole family. The show is aimed at children, but adults can learn (and laugh) a lot as well. You just can’t miss Queen Victoria rapping on stage, so purchase your tickets without delay from thefac.com.au (prices $34-$39.20).

WE’VE PENNED THE ULTIMATE BEAUTY SOLUTION
Dermapen (also known as skin needling) is an amazing treatment for people wanting clear, bright and refreshed skin. Don’t we all? It’s essentially for everyone and every imperfection you might have. Dermapen skin needling is a non-surgical method that triggers your skin’s natural healing process to reveal younger-looking, flawless skin. (We did tell you we’d penned the ultimate beauty solution – do you believe us now?) The most advanced form of facial skin needling is in fact Dermapen. It uses oscilating micro-needles to gently glide over the skin to stimulate the production of collagen. This technique can target even the most hard-toreach areas on the face, including under the eyes and upper lip. This process helps to treat; acne, enlarged pores, scaring, fine lines, wrinkles, open pores and pigmentation. It’s the ultimate solution for skin rejuvenation, whatever age you may be. Pop into La Belle Salon to have a chat to the girls to see how Dermapen would benefit your skin. LA BELLE SALON
IT’S THE COOL WAY TO REDUCE FAT
Coolsculpting is a revolutionary method of reducing fat in stubborn areas that may be difficult to lose with diet or exercise alone. Coolsculpting can be used to reduce unwanted fat on your abdomen, love handles, back rolls, thighs and inner arms. There’s also a new treatment called the Coolmini, which will treat fat deposits on the inner knees and under the chin. The procedure uses patented technology to deliver targeted and controlled “cooling” to specific areas of your body. This affects only fat cells while ensuring no harm to any surrounding tissue or cells. Known as cryolipolysis, the process uses the body’s natural clearing mechanisms to remove the destroyed fat cells over a two to three-month period. As the fat is eliminated by the body, you will notice a reduction in your fat deposits. One treatment may reduce your fat deposits by 20-25 per cent, and these effects are permanent.

Performed by Emma, Certified CoolSculpting Technician and Plastic Surgery Practice Nurse to Miss Patricia Terrill, the procedure requires no needles, anaesthesia or incisions and eliminates the downtime associated with traditional liposuction.

This father and daughter team at Mt Eliza Optical have been working together for around three and half years and love every minute of it - including the fact that the new premises is just 5m from Ritchies supermarket, which means the petty cash can get a great daily workout. “Getting to banter and have a joke with our clients makes our job enjoyable and hopefully our clients leave with smiles on their faces,” the pair says. “We don’t always agree with each other,”
says Sarah. “But that’s what makes it interesting,” continues Marcus.
“Getting to work with family is so rewarding and we jell well,” says Sarah. “I’ve learnt an array of skills just by watching and imitating how my dad interacts with clients.

Women love their heels, but at what expense? The Sports Injury Clinic in Frankston explores the science behind wearing heels and the impact on your body.
By wearing high heels we are raising the hindfoot to create unwanted force through our anatomically smaller metatarsal bones. Once the tissue can no longer tolerate the excessive forefoot loading, injury will likely ensue. This is why forefoot pathologies such as corns, neuromas and stress fractures are common in high heel wearers, especially around Spring Racing Carnival time. In heels, the ankle is placed in an unstable

High heels a high risk position. The base of the high heel is often narrowed and is the reason for many sprained ankles. High heels exaggerate the pelvis position, which not only overactivates your back muscles and hip flexors, but places increased stress and compression on your spinal joints, resulting in back pain.

Dale Payne: The Cheeky Squire, 510 Nepean Highway, Frankston of our business and the personal success and development of our team. Plus it’s always good to know when a customer loves their experience at The Cheeky Squire.
Frankly Frankston has a cheeky chat with the
very passionate foodie Dale Payne, head chef at The Cheeky Squire in Frankston. With 12 years’ experience under his belt, he’s created quite a stir in Frankston since the eatery opened in June. What is the most popular menu item at The Cheeky Squire? That would have to be our slow-cooked sticky lamb ribs. The meat is really tender and falls right off the bone. What is the concept of the menu? Our concept consisted of teaming up with James Squire and matching craft beer with our delicious casual, modern-style pub grazing menu, designed to be shared with family and friends. What trend are you loving at the moment? A “grocerant”, which is a mixture of a restaurant and a retail store in which restaurants sell the fresh produce they cook. What is most rewarding about your job; what makes it all worthwhile? Making a difference in terms of the success
( 54
Please tell us a little about your professional background? I completed my qualification at William Angliss and have been working in hospitality as a qualified chef for over nine years. I have had the privilege to have worked with a number of Melbourne’s most talented chefs over the years, sharing recipes, learning and developing new styles of cooking and learning different techniques. My recent qualification as a certified trainer has allowed me to train and assess students wanting to excel in hospitality. I’m currently working as a head chef and I’m very passionate about training and development within the workplace, demonstrating new techniques, teamwork, leadership, coaching and team motivation. What is your style in the kitchen? Fast-paced, collaborative, agile and energetic. I like to empower my team to get things done. I don’t believe in a dictatorship style. Now that spring is here, what ingredients would you be using in your new menu? Artichokes, asparagus, sugar snap peas and broad beans - all delicious ingredients. When you’re not in the kitchen, what do you enjoy doing in your spare time? I really enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going out to restaurants and trendy cafes. I love going to the local market to see what fresh ingredients are available and in season. I also enjoy watching soccer and training at the gym.
Any advice for aspiring chefs? Listen, communicate, research, network, set goals, go above and beyond, be humble and create a great leadership team.

On the weekend of November 18-19, the first Peninsula VineHop Festival will showcase some of our most popular venues while also shining the spotlight on lesser-known hidden gems. Event producer Lisa MacGregor says the festival will bring together wineries, microbreweries and cideries in a fun-filled weekend so people can experience the diversity of the Peninsula. “It is not just another wine festival; there is something to excite craft beer lovers, pinot drinkers and cider sippers,” Lisa says. The festival will come to life at Blue Range Estate Wines, Dromana Estate, Hickinbotham Estate and Hix Beer, Merricks General Wine Store at Baillieu, Mock Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula Brewery, Nazaaray Estate Winery, Phaedrus Estate, Red Hill Brewery and Red Hill
Estate. “There are also three pop-up bars – Jetty Road Brewery at Dromana Estate, and Bass and Flinders Distillery and Mr Banks Brewery at Red Hill Estate – which really adds to the variety people can enjoy during the festival.” Each location will feature live bands or DJs and will have food available from their own restaurant or from food trucks. Festival-goers will also be able to gain exclusive ‘behind the scenes’ access at some venues. “Baillieu vineyard, rarely open to the public, will be opening for the weekend and Mornington Peninsula Brewery will open its production site.

Nestled in the heart of Patterson Lakes, The Cove Hotel now boasts one of the finest food and wine offerings in the local precinct and is comparable to the premium restaurants in the CBD. The famous ‘deck’ has been transformed to reflect the look and feel of an indoor garden. The ceiling is tastefully ornamented by hanging pot plants and dining tables are surrounded by a stunning array of greenery, creating a sanctuary for you to sit back, enjoy exquisite food and wine, and relax in a calming environment.
In addition to The Cove’s already extensive food and wine menu, the introduction of brewery-fresh Carlton Draught is imminent and will complement the venue perfectly. The new benchmark in beer is fresh draught tank beer - unpasteurised Carlton Draft accommodated within magnificent copper tanks. Tank beer is served with ultimate freshness and as the brewer intended - in its purist state with a smooth finish. The Cove Hotel also offers a private dining experience in The Brasserie Room, which will delight patrons in groups of 10 to 16 with its own private wait staff. You will be amazed by this experience, so book early for that special celebration, work meeting, or social get-together.

Frankly Frankston 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? Some public spaces (streetscapes etc) but the vast majority is housing and commercial development. This extends to individual housing, unit development, apartment design, mixed-use 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
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.
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/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
What’s your favorite part about your industry? I love the collaboration, whether

the landscape to ‘grandstand’. Paula Hayes was one of the first designers who caught my attention and I still think her work is fantastic.
and push for revitalisation over the next 20 years, including upgraded streetscapes, new buildings and new public spaces.
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
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.
“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.”

1269 Nepean Highway, Mount Eliza
(Melway: 105 D6)
Don’t expect neat lawns and clipped hedges in this organic garden. It is an abundant garden tucked away on a standard house block and is a tribute to its dedicated owner, a gardener of only eight years’ experience. It has a sustainable vegetable garden and an orchard where fruit trees are espaliered to minimise the use of space. There is also a courtyard complete with a pond and bridge as well as hundreds of roses, perennials and bulbs to arouse the senses and calm the soul.

(Melway: 101 E10)
Willowie is another wonderful garden. Established on a battle axe block, it really is a hidden gem. On traversing the long driveway, you’ll find the garden formally arranged around the pool. It features many roses, camellias, and hydrangeas among a delightful range plants. The garden also offers glimpses of the bay. 65 Boes Rd, Tyabb (Melway: 148 C12)
Lyn and Doug McDonald’s garden offers a leisurely stroll around the park-like woodland and lake. Quirky sculptures emerge along the walk with interesting succulent and native plantings as well as a large variety of trees surrounding the house. The dam is home to many ducks and water birds. Blue wrens, spotted pardalotes, eastern rosellas and willie wagtails are among the frequent visitors to the garden.
