FLINDERS POLO

AN EXCLUSIVE NEW EVENT ON THE AUSTRALIAN POLO CALENDAR Private polo field in Melbourne to open its gates for the first time.

From the owners of the highly successful Portsea Polo comes Flinders Polo, an exclusive new polo event to be held at an incredible private estate in Flinders, on the stunning Mornington Peninsula.

The inaugural event will take place on Sunday, November 27, with limited tickets available for guests to enjoy an elite day of Polo, sponsored by premium real estate agency Kay & Burton, Microflite and BMW (Brighton and Mornington Dealerships).

This will be the first time the home owners have opened their doors for a public event, with the polo field traditionally kept for private use. Guests will be given the opportunity to sip champagne around the grass tennis court, stroll through the Paul Bangay designed manicured gardens and enjoy this beautiful property while being witness to a brand new lightning premiere polo cup.

Guests will be treated to VIP service (unique Carboot Picnic sites with their own butler), as they are brought up close to the action for a new and exciting 20/20 style

format of polo showcasing some of Australia’s leading players.

Created by the team behind the glamorous Portsea Polo, which has seen sell-out crowds for the last 16 years, Flinders Polo will be a coveted affair attracting the who’s who of Melbourne to a luxurious private estate.

“We are excited to bring this style of polo event to Australia for the first time,” said event owner Daniel Vaughan.

“Our aim is to create an intimate and sophisticated event that brings the pinnacle of Australian polo together with a bespoke, relaxed picnic environment.”

Flinders Polo is expected to sell out quickly so those

wanting to attend are advised to purchase their tickets early to avoid disappointment.

Carboot Picnic sites and corporate marquees are available to purchase. The Carboot Picnic Sites are situated immediately beside the polo field, includes guest passes for 12 people with a shade marquee AND a butler/bar person to serve guests throughout the day.

Those who purchase a Carboot Picnic site have the option of bringing their own food or pre-ordering from event caterer Damm Fine Food.

The corporate marquees are chic and vibrant areas located in prime viewing position and include free on-site parking for every guest and a security person.

Alternatively, guests can arrive in style via a Microflite helicopter – no better way to cap off a great event experience.

Carboot Picnic Sites: $1320 per site Corporate Marquees: $110 per person For more information and ticket purchases please go to www.flinderspolo.com.au

“If you’re not living in Mount Eliza, sweetie, you’re camping out.”

And with that, celebrity impersonator Victoria Ramage, aka Patsy from Always Fabulous (her take on the BBC television sitcom Absolutely Fabulous) sets an entire suburb on notice about how she might weave her performing art magic, now that she’s a local.

This queen of entertaining with a killer likeness to Jane Turner, aka Kath from the hit Australian comedy series Kath and Kim, moved from the Gold Coast to the “Mt Eliza area darling” about 12 months ago. The Geelong-born woman has a razor sharp memory for names, a skill for off-the-cuff humour and a love of people. Having settled in with her husband and the two youngest of their four children, Victoria is now starting to appear in character on the Mornington Peninsula social scene. And what a ride we are in for.

As we chat in her “fabulous” dining room, Victoria swings in and out of character. “I love fabulously snobbish people because they’re such great material,” she says in her Patsy voice.

Patsy appeared at the annual Fields of Fashion charity luncheon at the

Mornington Racecourse in September; at a breast cancer fundraising event at Common Folk, Mornington, in October; and at a handful of other local charity events this year. Always Fabulous is, in her words, “the entertainment package never short of a Bolli, Stoli and Jolli good time sweetie darling”.

Victoria and her long-time partner in impersonating crime Jacqueline Gill, of Brighton, burst onto Melbourne’s entertainment scene in their bogan best as foxy morons Not Kath and Kim (their take on the Australian television

comedy series Kath & Kim) at a recent Brighton Rotary event. “We rocked up in Jacquie’s little Mercedes sports,” Victoria laughs. “We are in character from the time the wigs and makeup go on. If someone’s watching us arrive, we’ll play the part and fall out of the car”. Between Kimmy’s killer voice and Kath’s noice dancing style, this act promises to get a party “going off on the dance floor like a pav in the sun”.

Victoria writes all of her own material and tailors it to suit the event and the audience, whether she’s performing stand up, Emcee at corporate events, roving entertainment or icebreakers.

And there’s more. Her repertoire also includes former PM Julia ‘Kill-Billard’, Miss Ansett, the outrageous Miss Joan Brook (her take on the late Joan Rivers), Prude & Rude and the Trolley Dollys.

The Australian Film & Television Academy and Warehouse graduate is also about to launch two new acts – Housewives of Melbourne’s Janet Roach and Pauline Hanson. “I’m going to have to get a prosthetic nose for that one,” she says of Hanson.

Victoria Ramage - what an absolutely fabulous addition to the Mornington Peninsula. More: thinklight.com.au or phone 0412 159 289.

Great education builds resilience and resourcefulness – the ability to find a way, to struggle and achieve.

It gives students the confidence to push their own limits – to take on and conquer new challenges.

Great education is creative. It is collaborative. It is hard work for just reward. It has balance and perspective, nurtures self-worth and instils the desire to contribute and make change. THIS IS EDUCATION.

Our world needs more than an ATAR In a recent article, Fairfax journalist Anna Patty reported that companies such as KPMG, PwC, and Macquarie University were now asking prospective employees if they have a Duke of Edinburgh Award in order to help assess whether they are well-rounded and team players.

The Duke of Ed. program involves elements of community service, physical recreation, learning new skills and taking an adventurous journey.

It is a program supported by an increasing number of schools, including Woodleigh, where it is a natural fit with all that we do.

In the article, Deputy chairman of the Duke of Edinburgh International Award, Sandra Nori, is quoted as saying

NOVEMBER 2016 (60)

“Resilience, responsibility, respect and co-operation cannot be taught, they can only be learnt experientially.”

I could not agree more.

Experiential learning, or learning through direct experience, is a term I use a lot to describe the programs offered at Woodleigh School. Our Camps, Activities, Homestead, Broadening Horizons, Round Square, and Immersion Learning Programs offer our students a myriad of opportunities that challenge them to step out of their comfort zones, to be creative, to solve problems and collaborate.

Universities too are looking beyond the ATAR as a sole measure of student performance. Interviews, folio presentations and evidence of leadership and active engagement in the community are an increasingly important part of the tertiary selection

process.

These human, or ‘soft skills’ not only improve employability, they support success throughout careers which will undoubtedly be longer and more diverse than our own. The concept of providing an education which is expansive and moves beyond the traditional schooling model is not new – at Woodleigh we have been practising this for more than 40 years.

But today it seems more critical than ever.

X Factor sensation Amalia Foy is living her dream. For as long as she can remember the Toorak College student has wanted to be a singer, and when she turned 14 this year – the minimum age for a contestant on the hit Channel 7 show – she leapt at the chance to audition.

And what an audition it was – her version of Passenger’s Let Her Go had the audience on its feet and judge Iggy Azalea in tears. It also prompted a flood of tweets from viewers declaring the show’s youngest contestant a future pop superstar.

“I came to the auditions definitely not expecting much, and when I finished my song they just all stood up, and I couldn’t believe it – I was getting so emotional, Iggy was emotional - that was a really memorable moment for me.”

Amalia has been playing the piano since she was five – she also plays violin – and started singing lessons four or

five years ago, and even though she is no stranger to the spotlight, X Factor is on a whole new level. Yet she was able to keep her nerves in check. “They weren’t on my mind as such because I couldn’t not do the audition – I just had to give it my all. I think it was the drive to just do my best and not worry about anything.

“I love acting, I’ve been in musicals and stuff and I’ve done the school soiree (but) this is my first time applying for something like this, and seriously, I can’t explain what I’m feeling right now – it’s crazy. It’s one of the best experiences of my life.”

Amalia is full of admiration for US singer-songwriter Adam Lambert, who mentors her in the under-22s group.

“Adam is amazing; he’s so, so good.

He’s just so kind and genuine. It’s all positive feedback that we can work on all the time. It’s really uplifting to know what you can work on for the next round or in the future.”

Amalia’s father stays with her while

she’s in Sydney for the show and her mother comes up to see her on weekends. “My friends and family … I could not ask for better support; everyone’s been so positive. And the school … I love attending that school.

They’ve really prepped me for this experience because of the leadership they work on with public speaking and responsibility in a sense – they have contributed to what I’m doing now and I couldn’t be more thankful.”

Citing Jackson Browne, Delta Goodrem and Birdy as influences, Amalia is determined to forge a career in music no matter what happens on X Factor.

“If I end up winning this competition, seriously, it would be unimaginable; it would be amazing. (But even if I don’t) everything is set up from this point.

Ultimately I’m achieving my dream.

This is what I want to do for the rest of my life.”

The X Factor screens on Channel 7 on Sundays at 7pm and Mondays at 7.30pm.

Windy weather failed to deter hundreds of spring loving wine enthusiasts who flocked to Montalto Vineyard & Olive Grove in Red Hill South on Sunday, October 9, for the inaugural Awakening Festival – a celebration of spring. Visitors were treated to inspirational speakers, quirky cooking demonstrations, seasonal food, live music and, of course, fabulous estate wine and wine tastings. Photos: Andrea Kellett

A Batsman

TO BEAT The Peninsula School Year 9 student Patrick Rowe is making an impression.

“Patrick Rowe is an outstanding and exciting young cricketer,” remarks Mr Steve Brennan, Director of Sport, when asked about the Year 9’s sporting ability.

This comes as Patrick was named in the Australian Under 17 cricket team due to play in New Zealand next year. At only 15 years of age, this is a significant achievement. A 7-week stint in England playing 30 games of senior cricket in 40 days for a local club no doubt contributed to his success.

But his success hasn’t come overnight. “I’ve been playing since I was 6. And it picked me really,” Patrick explains.

“But I can’t bowl though, I’m better at batting.”

In fact, Patrick isn’t just good at batting, he’s an exceptional batsman. He’s made 12 100s and 40 50s so far and has a batting average of 53. He also won the batting award for the First X1 for the 2015/2016 season an outstanding achievement for a Year 9 student.

The juggle of school and playing sport at an elite level is something Patrick is very aware of. “There are sacrifices that you just have to make – when you’re training before and after school every day and often away on trips, it is a bit difficult for friends and your social life,” he explained.

Having said that, Patrick loves his cricket. “It’s a great game and I’m hoping it will take me as far as I can go,” he explains. It’s given him some amazing opportunities to travel and to work with some impressive athletes. A number of extremely supportive and enthusiastic coaches have had an impact on Patrick including professional cricketers Greg Shipperd, Darren Berry and Sri Lankan Thilan Samaraweera. He’s definitely a cricketer to keep an eye on.

Chisholm’s Rosebud students and staff are very excited as they embark on a project to establish the Conservation and Land Management Centre at the Boneo Rd site. As the result of a successful Innovation Funding grant, the Conservation teaching team and students will develop an initiative aimed at supporting school groups, community groups and individuals to improve their capacity to conduct bushland restoration and revegetation activities.

1388_0916 CRICOS No 00881F

RTO No 0260

The Mornington Peninsula is a biodiversity hotspot, hosting a huge variety of flora and fauna species in more than 45 different ecological vegetation classes. Many of these species are threatened and their long-term survival depends on conservation work conducted not only by industry professionals but by the community. It is Chisholm’s intention to support these efforts to conserve local biodiversity on public and private land.

The development of an indigenous plant nursery that offers community groups and individuals the opportunity to propagate their own indigenous plants for their community conservation projects is a key component of this initiative. This will be supported through the development and provision of a series of accredited and non-accredited workshops aimed at providing knowledge and skills around the following areas: An introduction to the indigenous flora and fauna of the Melbourne region, tools and tricks to identifying indigenous flora and fauna, knowledge on ecological vegetation classes, identification of potential fauna habitat, and some tips on the identification of some of the larger plant families and species within the greater Melbourne region; Information and practical sessions on native seed

collection, cleaning and storage, propagation techniques for a wide variety of indigenous species, caring for nursery plants and successful planting of trees and shrubs; and, Development of the skills and knowledge to undertake bushland restoration works.

This course includes theory and field-based sessions and covers weed identification and control, principles of bushland restoration, basic GPS skills, supervised chemical use and record-keeping.

All sectors of the community, Friends groups, schools, Landcare members and individuals are welcome.

Cultural Connections is a participant based program operating from the North Frankston Community Centre and targets Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Maori and Pacific Islander youth from 15 to 25 years old who have been disengaged (or who are at risk of disengaging) from school, family, community or culture.

Girls’ school advantage “When girls go to single-sex schools, they stop being the audience and become the players” -

Robin Robertson The middle years of schooling is one of the most integral periods of developmental growth - cognitively, socially and emotionally.

Due to this the importance of offering specialised programs during these years is integral to providing a scaffolded learning program from years 5 to 12.

Research shows that gender differences in confidence and perceived abilities begin to have an impact on girls from as early as Year 3. It is supported programs, relationships and environment that foster this developmental period and are of benefit, particularly to girls, to enhance not just their academic growth but for their wellbeing as well.

“Girls’ schools are focused solely on girls - how they learn, how they play, how they develop friendships and what they need to be successful,” says National Coalition of Girls’ Schools president Trudy Hall. All-girl settings provide girls a certain comfort level that helps them develop greater self-confidence and broader interests, especially as they approach adolescence.

From Year 5 onwards, Toorak College offers a girls-only approach to education, providing the perfect environment to give every girl the opportunity for leadership, participation and voice. Toorak College offers endless opportunities for girls in sports, the arts, performance, academia, community engagement and leadership, so that every student can find their passion.

Dr Alison Booth, from Australian National University, says: “Girls’ school students are more likely to take healthy risks than girls in co-educational settings.” Girls’ schools create a culture of achievement where girls can take centre stage and strive to fulfil the dreams they aspire to.

NOVEMBER 2016 (60)

The program is facilitated by Frankston Council officers Jeremy Nikora (Cultural Connections project officer) and Grant Lea (Aboriginal youth health officer) plus Pacific Island and Aboriginal leaders and elders, a steering committee made up of elders, local agencies and Frankston Council.

In operation since September 16 this year, the program offers individual development strategies to youth and supports them with alternative pathways to education and employment where traditional pathways have failed. Some of the clients have had encounters with the justice system and some just need guidance to help figure out who they are.

The group has room for 20, but Frankston Council hopes to have a positive impact on the wider local community through their cultural events and education programs, held at the community centre and Narim Marr Djambana respectively.

Both Jeremy and Grant have wide experience with mentoring youth, promoting cultural awareness and assisting families. Jeremy has worked on multiple levels, mainly within the Maori and Pacific Island (MPI) communities in a mentoring capacity to youth within the justice system. He sits on a number of community and cultural committees and is regularly

consulted to help with MPI community issues, such as the current APEX youth crime wave. He is also a member of, and tutor in, a couple of Maori performing groups and hopes to encourage and support cultural self resilience within all Polynesian youth who have left their cultural foundations back in New Zealand or the Pacific region.

Grant is a Wulli Wulli and Darumbal man of the Kulin Nation in Queensland and has travelled most of the country. After going back to university in his 30s to do a teaching degree, he has taught high school maths, worked with street kids, had a stint in a youth detention facility and worked with The Brotherhood of St Laurence as an Aboriginal case manager for Youth Connections. He now works with the entire Aboriginal community to help provide a better health service.

If you think you might benefit from participating in the Cultural Connections program with Jeremy and Grant, or know someone in the Frankston North area who may, contact Frankston Council on 9768 1367 - because life is all about feeling connected, isn’t it?

FIONA PARRY-JONES Colour Your Home Fiona Parry-Jones, known as the ‘colour guru’, delves into the dreams of her clients to create beautiful homes with personality.

She is the owner of Von-Haus Design Studio, which offers a range of colour and design services that are tailored to each individual client.

Having recently moved to the Mornington Peninsula with her husband and little boy, Fiona and her team are motivated with a mission to bring excitement and charm to every project. We sat down to talk about her love of the Peninsula and how it inspires her design.

What made you move to the Mornington Peninsula?

We wanted a change of pace from the hectic inner city lifestyle and somewhere close to a beach that would be a good place for our little boy to grow up.

The new roads make it so easy to still commute to clients, both city bound and

diversity of elements the Peninsula has to offer. I feel very spoilt here to have both amazing landscapes and beaches as creative reference. Every weekend I will try to explore a new area and I have come across some amazing talent with local retailers and artisans.

locally, and I love how friendly people are here.

ranging from rustic country to elegant Hamptons depending on where you go.

Do you think the Mornington Peninsula has its own particular style?

Yes, it does have its own style. I feel the Peninsula has a more relaxed, beach vibe with the variety of styles in architecture and design to enhance this. There is a lovely sense of community all over the Peninsula, which makes each suburb have its own special style unique to the area,

What type of design do you love at the moment?

I love any type of design that embraces colour in unique ways. It’s hard for me to pick one trend or design style because I am always looking at new ways to bring different styles together. What I do love is how colour is coming back into kitchens.

Kitchens and bathrooms should have personality and why not make them colorful too!

Where are your favourite places to shop for design pieces on the Mornington Peninsula?

Tyabb Packing House has always been a top favourite of mine since I first discovered it back in 2003 when I came over from the UK. I love Mynd interiors in Frankston and all the markets too. My newfound discoveries are The Colour English in Mount Eliza and Greedi Lulu in Mornington. It’s very dangerous living so close to such beautiful shops but I’m very passionate about investing in local artisans and retailers.

Where do you draw inspiration from on the Mornington Peninsula?

I draw a lot of inspiration from the

Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month

Where did your love of colour come from?

It started at university when I was studying fine art, I investigated the significance of colour on the human body and how we interacted with it through visual art. This led me to learn more about the effects of colour in our daily lives and particularly in our homes. From there my obsession grew to interior design and the ways I could use colour to make homes beautiful as well as reflecting the personality of people who live there.

What is the most interesting project you have worked on?

I recently completed a very colourful project in Northcote where the client wanted every room to have a different colour theme. They had an amazing collection of artwork that helped to explore this more and there was a special kids zone where their artwork became the wallpaper for the room. It was such a fun project and was wonderful to see how the family all had input on the overall use of the space and style.

What can people expect from your ‘Colour Your Home’ workshops?

There are lots of people out there buying houses and renovating, but don’t know what style they like or how to pull their ideas together. This workshop is a great starting point for any interior decorating project and helps you map out the direction you want to go in. You leave with a moodboard ready for your next step, along with a pack filled with information on local suppliers in the area to help with your purchasing decisions.

Fiona is running a ‘Colour Your Home’ workshop at Co.Co Place in Mornington on November 12. Tickets: www.von-haus. com.au/events For more information visit von-haus.com.au

Company gets the Ball rolling Leading horticulture company Ball Australia is moving to Skye as part of a $15 million expansion of its production nursery and distribution business.

Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny, Industry and Employment Minister Wade Noonan and Ball Australia MD Paul Boland at the Keysborough site for the State Government funding announcement.

The company has secured a $350,000 State Government grant to support the move, which is expected to be completed by mid-2017 and will include the construction of a production centre and office complex on a 20ha site on the corner of Hall Rd and Westernport Highway. The privately-owned Keysborough site it has occupied since 1998 will be sold.

The move is expected to create up to 19 new jobs with the company over the next five years, potentially including 12 retrenched automotive workers in the first 18 months, and as many as 100 construction jobs.

Ball Australia’s managing director, Paul Boland, said: “The move comes at a time of rapid growth for the amenity horticulture sector, and we want to be there to support this growth.

What Ball Australia will bring to Melbourne’s southeast as well as the overall Australian horticulture industry is opportunity, jobs, improved marketing and promotion of plant products plus a continuance of bringing gardening into consumers’ lifestyles.”

The new site will feature advanced equipment including germination chambers, growing and mother stock facilities and hi-tech environmental controls.

Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month

The streets in Frankston South near the corner of Humphries Rd and the Nepean Highway curve and cross each other at unusual angles because of the steep creek valleys that encircle this area. This can make finding your way around confusing, so it’s no surprise that there are streets that are not well known.

Yamala Park Bowling Club is in such a street and is a hidden gem in this suburban island. It has nestled in Dunstan St for more than 50 years, yet even some locals have been unaware of its existence until recently. The green is set into the hill facing Port Philip Bay within a small park with some lovely old trees on its boundaries; Yamala Park Tennis Club is in the same park.

During the summer months, Yamala Park Bowling Club offers a range of community activities that are becoming increasingly popular with many local families who enjoy barefoot bowling, with a barbecue, band and a licensed bar. As well as hosting social and competition bowls, it is also an excellent venue for family celebrations and community events.

Next time you are in the area, look up the bowls club in Dunstan St. You will see what a gem it is.

John Woodman Authorised by John Woodman, 5 Main Street, Mornington

70 years and still going strong Seventy years is a long time in business.

Watsons Pty Ltd marks its 70th anniversary in business on the Mornington Peninsula this year and, as one of the largest employers of professional staff on the Peninsula, it’s a significant milestone.

Watsons has been a leader in the land development industry since September 1946, when it was founded by the late Jack Watson (a former Shire engineer and surveyor). Current director John Woodman took over the business in the early 1990s.

From humble beginnings as a small local business, Watsons grew quickly to become the pre-eminent consultant to land developers across the Mornington Peninsula and Victoria.

“He was a pioneer,” Mr Woodman said of Jack Watson, during an interview about the organisation’s 70-year anniversary.

“He subdivided most of the land on the Mornington Peninsula (on behalf of clients).”

Watsons’ clientele, past and present,

include Stockland, Evolve, Villawood, Satterley, Australand, Peet & Co and AVJennings, as well as household names such as Lindsay Fox and the Myer, Ansett, Baillieu-Myer, Hains and Coles families.

The company currently employs about 60 professionals and has been involved in some of the Peninsula’s biggest developments including Moonah Links and The National (integrated golf course and low density living developments) and Martha Cove.

Mr Woodman contested this year’s local government elections – a big move for a man at the helm of such a large organisation. The decision was, he explains, driven by frustration. “I feel that over a period of time councils have continued to increase rates and, to some extent, to pay themselves more money. At some stage or other someone’s got to put a stop to it.” In this issue of Mornington Peninsula Magazine, Mr Woodman has publicly thanked everyone who voted for him.

The election results were declared as Mornington Peninsula Magazine went to print.

You might feel this is a situation you won’t encounter surfing on the Mornington Peninsula, given that most shark attacks (even two recently this year in May and June) occur on the west coast of Australia. But don’t forget our beloved surfing spots are not shark free.

Just a little further north, off the coast of New South Wales, Shark Shield’s Freedom7s were used to protect crew members during filming of the Hollywood blockbuster The Shallows. The Shallows is a shark attack thriller that sees surfer Nancy – played by Blake Lively - cling to a rock while being circled by a great white shark. The Freedom7 is an electrical shark deterrent originally developed for people diving and fishing, but in collaboration with Ocean & Earth (the world’s leading manufacturer of Surfboards & Surf Hardware, based in NSW) and surfing champion Tom Carroll, Shark Shield has developed a whole new device called the Freedom+Surf.

The antenna electrodes on this device have been designed into a sticker-thin adhesive decal that you apply to the underside of your surfboard. With a weight of just 250grams and a near zero drag adhesive decal antenna (only 600 microns thin), there is no impact on your surfing performance.

The Freedom+ Surf essentially turns your surfboard into an electrical shark deterrent. So, slap one on your board this summer, head to Cape Schanck, Flinders, Portsea or perhaps Phillip Island and catch some waves safely.

The Freedom+ Surf is available at sharkshield.com

Taking the time to care

BY ANDREA KELLETT

We love our pets. So it’s only natural that when they need veterinary care, we want them in the best of hands. We also want professionals who treat them as if they were their own. Professionals who make the experience easier.

Bentons Road Vet Clinic, with its relaxed atmosphere and welcoming staff, has become a community hub for Peninsula pet owners. Dr Kelly Halls and her team have created a friendly, stress free environment focused on animal health and wellbeing.

It is the only veterinary clinic on the Peninsula with separate areas in reception for cat and dogs, plus a separate ‘cat only’ consultation room.

“This has huge benefits,” Kelly explains. “Pets can suffer a lot of anxiety when attending the Vet. Our approach helps to keep them calm and allows us to work with their natural behaviours.”

Pets and their owners enjoy dropping into the clinic. Pets love the cuddles and liver treats and their owners can relax when they know their pet is happy. “We encourage owners to come in with their pets for visits at any time. We love seeing them,” Kelly says.

Dr Halls and her team understand just how precious your best mate is and are here to keep them happy and healthy. As well as offering all services of veterinary care, they also incorporate holistic and natural approaches in support of conventional veterinary treatment.

Bentons Road Vet Clinic - it’s local, friendly and full of warmth.

Peninsula locals will never miss a deal again with the recent launch of ifloc, a mobile app that notifies users of deals in real time.

Founded by Mornington locals, Anthony Cincotta and Nick Waite, ifloc is a free app that produces pop up notifications on your device when you’re within a 1 kilometre radius of the business.

The app launched exclusively at Mornington Main Street Festival last month, with local businesses such as Mercetta, Merchant Lane, About Thyme Cafe, HBT Skin & Beauty and Bay Hotel posting special offers for festival goers to redeem on the day. The app is continually expanding in its offering and geographical reach, with an increasing number of businesses signing up each day.

How does it work?

Shoppers can download the free app available on the App Store and Google Play Store.

Unlike other deal based apps you then receive ifloc alerts when you are close to a live deal, so you can access deals on-the-go, whether it’s a sale on shoes or a free coffee with lunch at your favourite local cafe. You then redeem the deal by presenting it on your phone at the business.

Anthony Cincotta explains, “The idea is that somebody might be walking through their local shopping strip, and deals will pop up on their screen as they walk. They can get real dollar savings as they go about their day, without having to print off coupons or vouchers like other deal offerings”.

Businesses are equally benefited by the app, which increases exposure by targeting the right customers in the right location at the right time. Any businesses that sign up prior to November 31 will receive the first 3 months of their subscription free.

Download the app now via the App Store and Google Play Store.

Rosebud is set to become the destination for families this summer with the development of the Destination Rosebud Playground where kids of all abilities are welcome.

Located opposite the pier and inspired by the Mornington Peninsula’s unique geography and landscape, this innovative and fun foreshore play space will cater for a range of ages and abilities (although not officially an all abilities space) and aims to inspire and excite through a number of accessible play options. There’ll be paths throughout the ground level, ramps to shelters, a single accessible BBQ, basket swing and tactile garden, plus a natural pallet of materials to explore.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has engaged Glascott Landscape & Civil to deliver the new Rosebud foreshore playground in time for Christmas. Designed by HASSELL, the playground is being constructed to cater to the growing community and their new ‘Destination Rosebud’ campaign aims at encouraging a high level of usage over the summer months.

The junior play space at Rosebud will focus on sensory and imaginative play while senior areas will provide a range of age specific challenges.

A charity striving to build “a happier, healthier, more inclusive nation” is inviting applications for seed funding to establish community choirs.

Creativity Australia, which was founded in 2008 by social entrepreneur and soprano Tania de Jong, established the With One Voice program to set up community choirs and singing projects for all people

regardless of age, race, religion, disability or disadvantage. Their purpose is to make people happier, healthier, smarter and more creative by tackling isolation and loneliness, social disconnection and mental health issues.

According to Creativity Australia’s website: “When diverse people sing together on a regular basis, we create supportive communities better-placed to solve some of society’s biggest

challenges, such as mental illness, cultural tension and unemployment.”

Grants of up to $12,500 are available to cover initial costs while the program establishes itself in the community. Communities will also receive support and mentoring from Creativity Australia to ensure the program becomes sustainable.

The deadline for applications is November 23. Details: creativityaustralia.org.au/choirs/start

If you noticed a scarecrow or two around the Mornington Peninsula hills recently, chances are they were courtesy of the Hinterland Scarecrow Festival and Trail.

Between September 16 and October 3 scarecrows popped up in gardens, shop fronts, vineyards and even mazes for the annual event. They were created and assembled by local children, families, wineries, artists, schools and businesses and the results ranged from the whacky to the extraordinary! Photos: Jonathan Pritchard

Addicted to Vintage

Lee and Dawn have an addiction, to vintage that is, and these buyers and sellers of “new, old and anything in between” specialise in collectables, vintage and antiques.

The business partners opened My Vintage Addiction in Rosebud four years ago. “We love to laugh and make customers have a relaxed and entertaining time in the store,” they explain. They seek treasures from houses as old as 1831, through to modern. They also have local craftsman who make unique pieces of furniture and items to order. They can organise restorers, china repairs, watch and clock repairs and they love to refurbish and upcycle.

Open seven days except Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day and Anzac Day. MY VINTAGE ADDICTION A: 1/2 Newington Avenue, Rosebud FB /MyVintageAddictionRosebud 0438 314 669 or 0434 382 304

MY Rosebud’s 4km of foreshore, with its shady coastal vegetation, is adjacent to perfect white sands and safe swimming beaches, making it an ideal family camping environment.

For those who enjoy more comfort and space, the town offers many other holiday accommodation options with a plethora of holiday homes for rent, caravan parks and motels all available throughout the year.

Traditionally home to water activities such as sailing, fishing and kayaking, Rosebud is now hosting new adventure activities including stand-up paddle boarding and – not for the faint-hearted – kite surfing.

The thriving shopping strip of Rosebud and its modern plaza are full of bustling cafes and restaurants, a sixscreen fully digital cinema, mini-golf, and indoor and outdoor bowls, all of which are within easy reach of the beach. With short drives to wineries, galleries, hot springs and golf courses, it’s a perfect destination for a family holiday.

Forthcoming special events include the Foreshore RockFest from November 25-27, the Australia Day Fun NOVEMBER 2016 (60)

Run, the Peninsula Short Film Festival on Saturday, February 4, and the International Kite Festival on March 12.

Rocking - Rock’n’Roll and Rockabilly Dances - Retro Market - Beach Party - Classic Cars & Rods - Pin Up Competition - Drive In Movies www.foreshorerockfest.com.au

With Rosebud’s long history as a great place to enjoy summer beach holidays, what better place to revive the fun-filled ‘50s and ‘60s lifestyle?

This new festival, Foreshore RockFest, will run over three days - November 25-27 - and will involve a series of different music, dance, movie, car and vintage shopping events.

Fun starts on Friday evening with a Beach Party in the Rosebud Scout Hall, plus the Mark Andrews Legends Show at GPO Hotel from 7pm. Mark

is a renowned Elvis impersonator and his show will focus on Elvis, Austen Powers, Tom Jones and others.

On Saturday morning the town centre will rock with hot rod and ‘chrome bumper’ cars on show, ‘50s performers and dancers along the footpath. From noon outside Vinnies shop, Rosebud resident and professional impersonator Wayne Crawford will delight shoppers with his faithful recreation of the King’s velvet voice.

There is also a ‘50s and ‘60s market running at Rosebud Primary School on both Saturday and Sunday.

The market will include clothing, food, DJs, live bands and dance demonstrations, with a gold coin entry. The vintage shops in town will pump with music, fashion and bargains while the cinema will feature a classic Audrey Hepburn movie.

Saturday evening will provide fans of

the ‘50s and ‘60s with multiple dance venues hosting live bands, including the Lincolns, Fender Benders and Honey B and the Stingers, along with a special Elvis double feature at the Dromana 3 Drive In. Sunday will see a pre-1970s hot rod and classic car show on the Village Green, featuring hundreds of cars and vintage caravans, with live music.

For the fashionistas from the era, a vintage clothing and ‘pin up’ contest will also be held in the Memorial Hall next to the car show. All events will culminate at 3pm.

Tickets are essential for many events, and they’re selling quickly online.

In this increasingly throwaway society, it’s refreshing to find a business whose vision is to change our attitudes to disposable consumerism.

Table Furniture was founded by furniture maker Zac Pearton, of ZP Woodworks, and designer Tara Knoop, both of whom were as keen to move away from those excesses as they were to merge fashion with furniture.

To that end, Zac and Tara use only recycled and salvaged timber, all of it sourced from the Mornington Peninsula.

“Our vision/purpose is to make a change in this ‘disposable’ society by only using recycled timbers,” they said. “We hope that our customers only ever need to

( 46

purchase one table - a Table table - and that we can help them make an environmentally savvy choice.”

Zac and Tara’s non-mass-produced furniture is designed and hand-crafted on the Peninsula and is made to last a lifetime. They have just launched their debut range, Beyond the Black Stump, which draws inspiration from the Australian Outback with natural, earthy tones and timbers that look raw and lightly textured.

All Table Furniture products can be made in bespoke sizes and colours to suit your home. Inquire now for a pre-Christmas delivery.

Paintings by two of the five sisters whose large collaborative painting of their country won the Wynne Prize for Landscape Art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in July this year feature in the Spring Salon + Art Parade exhibition at Whistlewood Gallery, Shoreham, this month.

The Wynne Prize is Australia’s longest running art prize and is awarded each year in conjunction with the Archibald Prize. This year’s winners were the Ken sisters from the Aboriginal-owned art centre Tjala Arts in Amata in the Pitjantjatjara (APY) lands of northern South Australia. They are the third indigenous artists to win the much-coveted award and the first from their APY Lands to do so.

“The Wynne is a hugely prestigious award whose past winners include many of Australia’s most famous landscape artists,’ says Whistlewood’s co curator Susan McCulloch. “The Ken sisters’ paintings have long been notable for their vibrant colours and wonderful fluidity.

According to the judges, their work this year was a clear winner.”

“We’ve shown the works by the Ken sisters and many other artists of equal stature for a number of years and it’s fabulous to be able to feature them now in this new context as major prize winners!”

Ms McCulloch will open the show on Saturday, September 24, with one of McCulloch & McCulloch’s unique Art Parades in which more than 50 works are shown by a team of paraders while she provides commentary on the works and meanings.

Along with the Ken’s works, the range includes new paintings, sculptures and barks the McCullochs have gathered from their annual northern trips to the Top End and Central deserts.

For those of you who thought the industrial precinct in Mornington was just a bunch of warehouses full of space, stock and machinery, think again. This zone is a hidden maker’s melange of hand crafted creations and expressive art and November marks the emergence of The Mornington Arts Precinct (M.A.P) event, where you get to take a peek inside.

Apparently there are creators tucked away here, there and everywhere and now’s the time to share! So who’s involved? “Artspace 8, Baluk Arts, Blackspot, Co.Co Place, Commonfolk Coffee, Lost Boy Customs, MP Brewery, Oak Hill Gallery, Oasis Pop Up Bakery, and Peninsula Recycled Timber, Southern Buoy, The Nook and The Snake Hole.

Everyone is volunteering their time to make this into something we hope will develop into an annual experience – even into a festival at some stage!” Lindy says.

Creative venues are plentiful on the Peninsula and 13 of them will open their doors to the public on November 11 through 13. Coordinator of this fresh-minded event, Lindy Bayley, explains: “I don’t know what I’ve got myself into!

This is shaping up to be huge. M.A.P aims to showcase local creatives (think open studios, creative talks, exhibitions and live mural painting over the weekend) within the industrial area of Mornington. Each one of the studios and businesses that have agreed to collaborate will be featuring their own creative hub in their own unique way.”

There will also be an Inaugural Life Drawing Artist of the Year competition run in conjunction with Oak Hill Gallery and major sponsors BMW and Arete Aesthetics.

Artists can paint, draw, sculpt or do prints based on the nude. Enter by November 12 to be part of the pop up exhibition, sales and judging by sponsors, which will take place on November 13. Sponsors Choice Awards include a $1000 gift voucher from Arete Aesthetics and another $1000 gift voucher from BMW, as well as a range of other prizes donated by local businesses. It’s open to all.

Magic realism meets urban expansionism at Manyung Mount Eliza

BY LIZ ROGERS

Spanish/Australian fine art photographer and multi-media artist Alberto Sanchez sets the scene with his view finder and then rearranges what he sees through physical perversion. Sound interesting? That’s because it is.

This multi award winning and world-wide exhibited artist (think the States, Singapore, Milano, Hong Kong, Germany, Sweden and the list goes on) conceives photography as a creative art form that is not constricted to the digital medium. His work transcends mere representation. A Sanchez work of art breathes new and reimagined life into a scene through unique hand-colouring technique, scratching and mastery manipulation. Multi layering is what you’ll see. An injection of surreal reality is what you’ll feel when viewing his sensory work which is akin to a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel or short story.

He explains: “My work is about the

@

interaction between cities and urban landscapes and how I can alter perception. I take my photo and then intervene. I scratch, paint and move what I have seen. It’s a physical process and I love to pervert those original images – the photographs – to deliver a different message.”

“I set the characters free to teem and detach themselves and indulge in limbo where they struggle to reclaim space in an increasingly overloaded sensory environment,” he continues.

But you won’t struggle to transcend the everyday with this vibrant and ferociously sophisticated limbo inducing work which can be viewed at Manyung Gallery Mount Eliza from Friday, November 4, onwards. Don’t miss it.

Mount Eliza secures third major event for a charitable cause Geoff Nyssen has learned to turn his own adversity into an empowerment story and wants to bring others along for the ride.

Geoff Nyssen has spent the past two years learning to live a new ‘normal’. Multiple Myeloma is a terminal blood cancer with the average age of diagnosis being 70 years of age. For Geoff, this diagnosis was three weeks after his 40 birthday, on February 18, 2014.

It’s the pressured times in our life that bring out our true character. When you meet Geoff you’ll soon realise that he is not a man walking around shackled by his circumstance. Instead, he stands tall (literally at 6.6ft, 198cm) in the crowd, seemingly humbled by his own journey and motivated to see everyone who he meets live life to the full.

“On the day that I was diagnosed, I was told that, statistically, I have 8-10 years to live. I don’t subscribe to those statistics. Statistics look backwards and I look forwards. I look forward to my 80th birthday. It will be one big party,” he said.

Geoff’s story is so inspirational he has been called on to speak around the country about his empowerment journey. Taking his commitment to purposeful living a step further, he has a big vision for the Mount Eliza and Mornington Peninsula community which, he says, has provided amazing support to him and his family during his most challenging of times.

“When I consider my community, I recognise that my community is extensive. I grew up on the

Mornington Peninsula. This is my community. I have Multiple Myeloma. Those with Multiple Myeloma, and those who support us, are my community. My kids go to Kunyung Primary School and I wanted to give back to my community. Something bold, something engaging and something that would bring a smile to the faces of families within my community, especially the kids.”

On March 26, 2017, Geoff and his team will deliver the inaugural My Mount Eliza Run and Fun Festival.

Of his team, Geoff offered, “As a rallied group of locals, we believe that our ability to empower others starts with our personal wellness. So, we decided to volunteer our own talent and time to create a sustainable annual festival that benefits the community for the longer term.” With an anticipated crowd of up to 1000 locals, the My Mount Eliza Run and Fun Festival will look to engage the community in a festival experience comprising a unique trail run around the Mount Eliza quarry, a premium skate park competition and many other family orientated activities and exhibitions.

Register now for the trail run challenge! Go to mymounteliza.org.au for details.

Want to partner with this major event? Contact sponsors@mymounteliza.org.au to obtain a prospectus.

Join with Geoff and his team as they promote wellness, empowerment and community while supporting their charitable cause, Multiple Australia.

Did you know movie posters are the most collectable item in the world?

And here’s a tip - if you happen to have an original Casablanca poster stashed away, you’re sitting on a goldmine, according to Greg Chilvers from Silver Screen at Tyabb Packing House Antiques.

“Casablanca, you can’t get it,” this walking encyclopaedia of vintage film and television collectibles/memorabilia explains. “I sold one about six years ago and I haven’t got another one since. Today it would be worth $4000 upwards.”

He also has an original ‘That’s Cricket’ Don Bradman 1931 movie poster that is so rare it commands a five-figure price tag, and it’s stored off site.

Silver Screen is located at Tyabb Packing House Antiques. Greg and his team specialise in original (old and modern) movie posters and movie memorabilia, lobby cards, comics, hard to find DVDs, Disney, Beatrix Potter, limited edition figurines, statues and more.

The place is a mind blowing treasure trove, and it’s right under our noses.

Better still, it has the biggest collection of original, vintage and modern movie posters in the country and the collection is ever changing!

“I literally have hundreds of thousands of posters and what you see in here is a small portion of what I’ve got,” Greg says.

A tour of Silver Screen with Greg is an

event in itself. From Hitchcock to Elvis Presley, James Bond, Disney, Mad Max, Star Wars, Dr Who, Jaws and more, he’s got it all. “What about Attack of the Killer Tomatoes?” Greg says, gesturing towards the 1978 horror/sci-fi film poster. “You couldn’t go past a poster like that!” What about Pulp Fiction? “I just sold the last

Pulp Fiction,” Greg says. “They are as rare as rocking horse manure!”

If figurines are your forte, Silver Screen has top of the range, limited edition sideshow figurines, Chucky dolls (the Good Chucky, the Bad Chucky and, of course, Bride of Chucky), the Wolverine brown costume premium format statue, Suicide Squad, Kratos God of War limited edition and so much more!

They also have life-size figures! (how about a 6ft Batman or Terminator for your movie room?)

And Greg and his team understand what drives the passion for movie memorabilia. “It doesn’t have to be a fabulous movie,” he explains. “It just has to leave an indelible mark on the brain, a connection…it’s the whole KA-BANG!” Whether you are a collector, a movie fan, buying for your movie room or entertainment space, or simply looking for a special gift, this is the place. Allow plenty of time.

Jewellery a stunning fashion statement

When local artist/gold and silversmith Katrina Newman opens her studio in November, you can expect to see a stunning collection of contemporary statement jewellery.

Katrina makes precious metal rings, pendants and cufflinks and beautiful lampwork glass beads that she fashions into colourful earrings and necklaces that would suit any occasion.

Katrina uses the ancient technique of cuttlefish casting in her gold and silver jewellery, taking a modern approach to create refined works of art that reflect her sense of place and her sensitivity to the natural beauty of Australia. “They have a character all of their own, with a special feature and design,” she says.

Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month

In her studio, where she has glimpses of the sea through her bush garden and views of Arthurs Seat, Katrina crafts jewellery to the highest standard. You can expect quality craftsmanship and a unique design and can be confident you are purchasing a high-quality piece.

Katrina studied gold and silversmithing at Canberra School of Art, graduating in 1983; this year marks the 30th anniversary of Katrinaʼs career in her practice. Katrina will be demonstrating the cuttlefish casting technique on weekend afternoons, so contact her if you are interested in attending a demonstration.

Tinalley enchants and surprises The internationally acclaimed Tinalley String Quartet enchanted a local audience on October 1 at the all inclusive Peninsula Community Theatre, hosted by the Peninsula Music Society. Warmth and passion marked the evening’s music; the beauty and virtuosity of Lerida Delbridge (violin) and Michelle Wood (cello) complementing the exquisitely integrated and skilled musical presence of Adam Chalabl (violin) and Justin Williams (viola).

The allure began with Webern’s romantic Langsamer Satz - a piece exhibiting the powerful charge of Mahler and Wagner while heralding a change in the nature of composition. Then came the sensitively rendered String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op. 13, its journey developing a theme which the young Mendelssohn, fallen in love, had previously published, in an Op.9 set to which he wrote both words and music.

Beethoven followed, with the engrossing drama of String Quartet Op. 59, No. 3 ‘Razumovsky’. As Tinalley’s enlightening program notes have it, this carries the listener from initial distortion to more energised colours touched with some restraint, and a second movement thematically “reminiscent of an ancient Russian folksong”.

The final lyrical minuet then “surprises”; this night, it did so gloriously, with the players launching into a rapturously acclaimed finale.

Exhibition a chance to draw breath Before the Christmas rush you have 21 days to stop for a breath of nature as the Brialyn Boathouse Gallery holds its final exhibition for 2016.

From the waterways of Fraser Island down the east coast of Australia you can enjoy the moments that Lyn Mellady (pictured at work on Incoming Weather) has decided to relive in her impressionistic realist paintings. This is her time to celebrate her work and take a breath. She will be very active next year. Her studio is moving and she has exciting painting and art travel planned, and this exhibition will show some of her favourite paintings to date.

Robert Knight, who is known for his canvasses depicting his impressions of his beloved tall forests, has also been active across Australia this

year, painting in Perth and NSW as well as visiting the magnificent eucalypts near his home studio.

He has a strong following of admirers and you too can see why in this gathering of works.

Of course there is also more to see.

There is another room showing some of the gallery’s favourite artists and its hand-crafted pottery, jewellery and glassware.

The exhibition opens on Tuesday, November 1, so enjoy the creative moments of beauty. For more information, visit www. boathousegallery.com.au or www. mellady.com, or phone 9770 6119.

Best of both worlds Living in Two Worlds is not only the title of Marion Parker’s latest solo exhibition, it also sums up the Mount Martha artist.

“I was always told to ‘come back down to earth’, or ‘stop daydreaming’, as I’ve always had my mind or spirit in the nonphysical world,” she says. “And so the title of this show is all about my two distinctive styles - of the physical world of earthly landscapes where I’m inspired by nature, and the ethereal nonphysical world where I paint my abstracts and am inspired by quantum physics and the metaphysical.”

Marion was a naturopath who treated such celebrities as George Foreman. She had clinics in Sydney and Melbourne, wrote a few books, had health columns, a radio show and even a racehorse then she had an epiphany and gave it all away to move to Mount Martha and paint.

After 10 years, with her art now selling internationally and her name becoming known in art circles, Marion feels she’s only getting warmed up and that the best is yet to come. One thing is for sure, though - she wouldn’t be doing anything else.

Living in Two Worlds is at the Frankston Arts Centre until December 10. W: marionparker.com.au P: Marion on 5974 8816.

Breast Care first for Peninsula Health Peninsula Health has welcomed Victoria’s first McGrath Foundation metastatic breast care nurse.

Jenny Macindoe has specialised in helping women and men with breast cancer for the last 20 years.

She will now help metastatic breast cancer patients and their families across the Mornington Peninsula and she said she was honoured.

“I’ve been a breast care nurse for so long that I was very aware that metastatic breast cancer patients had specific needs – so I really wanted to work towards trying to specialise in metastatic disease so I could hopefully access and help these patients,” she said.

Metastatic breast cancer refers to the stage of cancer that is incurable – when it has spread beyond the primary tumour site of the breast to other parts of the body.

The needs of patients with metastatic breast cancer are specific and demand for the support provided by metastatic

breast care nurses is growing, according to McGrath Foundation CEO Petra Buchanan.

Jenny has significant experience in specialist breast care nursing and will support metastatic breast cancer patients and their families every step of the way.

“I’m a really good listener and will be there to offer advice and guidance about dealing

with the disease and the impact it will have on patients and their family,” Jenny said.

“I will be that link person, that conduit, someone who you can call on to provide specialised knowledge and clarify information – I can help translate complex medical information into understandable terms.”

Jenny will also help guide patients through their treatment pathway if they are unsure of their next step.

In South Eastern Melbourne approximately 960 people will be diagnosed with primary breast cancer in 2016 and 140 will be diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, according to the McGrath Foundation.

Peninsula Health and Jenny both acknowledged the work of the McGrath Foundation in bringing this level of support to patients on the Mornington Peninsula.

“The McGrath Foundation has done an excellent job at placing breast care nurses in areas of high need so women in Australia can hopefully have access to breast care nurses when they’re diagnosed,” Jenny said.

“My mandate will be to try and have at least one contact with every patient who is diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at Peninsula Health so they know I exist and they know how to contact me.”

Patients and their families can access this free service by contacting Access on 1300 665 781.

Flawless skin starts here... treatment for your goals; and you will receive best practice treatment, under the supervision of Dr Jeremy Wilson (Plastic Surgeon).

Trained in London at The British School of Osteopathy, Simon Clement left England for a one-year osteopathic placement in Melbourne in the early 1980s. Thirty years later, he’s still at work on the Mornington Peninsula.

“Turns out there couldn’t really be a better place for my practice or for bringing up a family,” Simon said. “It’s wonderful feeling part of the local community and it’s also good for both the practice and the Peninsula to see so many young families moving down this way.”

After many years in Mornington, Simon recently downsized to a oneman practice in Mount Martha.

Simon has long seen osteopathy’s emphasis on spending time with patients and paying attention to how people adapt to injuries and work habits as the key to helping people get the most out of their

bodies. Using a combination of soft tissue work, exercise prescription and manipulation, many patients find occasional treatment can make all the difference in how they feel and move.

“I sometimes feel I’m almost picking people up by the scruff of the neck and giving them a gentle shake,” he says. “It’s remarkable how little you sometimes need to do to allow people to get on with life free from pain and restrictions in movement.

“Sooner or later we get to a point where we need help to get us back on track. Osteopathy is ideally placed to offer that help in a gentle and comprehensive manner.”

Simon is at work most days of the week and regularly on Saturday mornings.

How to beat the odds against skin cancer

BY DR SALLY SHAW

Here’s the news: spring racing has arrived and so has UV radiation. While you’re browsing this season’s designer collections, spare a thought for your precious skin because spring and early summer is a common time to get caught out with accidental sunburn. In Victoria, November weather is often cool and cloudy but the UV index can still be at an extreme level of 7‐8.

Under these unpredictable conditions, our skin can start to show signs of sunburn in less than 20 minutes.

A good strategy to avoid accidental skin damage is to plan ahead. Choose an outfit that will protect your skin. This is the most straightforward way to avoid UV radiation. If you can’t resist this season’s off‐the shoulder dresses, then make sure you apply broad spectrum sunscreen. This should be done 20 minutes before you go out and you will need to re‐apply at the regular intervals. Most sunscreens need to go on to clean skin, so apply the sunscreen onto your face before your makeup for maximum protection.

It’s not a happy statistic. UV radiation is the major cause of skin cancer, including the most dangerous type: melanoma. There are around seven Victorians dying of melanoma every week and it is the most common form of cancer in young people aged between 13 and 39 years.

So if you feel you need a tan to complete your look, I recommend you fake it, don’t bake it.

No tanning is safe, it only damages your skin cells and causes premature ageing. And here’s another great tip: if you’re planning on enjoying a glass of bubbles while at the track, don’t forget to keep hydrated and match every glass of alcohol with a glass of water. It will not only help your liver, it will also help your skin.

Be a winner in the skin cancer stakes this spring and remember to: cover up, apply sunscreen, choose a hat with a wide brim, wear stylish sunglasses and pick a spot in the shade to celebrate your winnings.

Dr Sally Shaw is founder of Peninsula Skin Cancer Clinic and The Wellness Manor in Mornington. She is Senior Lecturer at the University of Queensland for Skin Cancer Medicine and has been awarded for her work on skin cancer prevention by Melanoma Institute Australia.

Mel Bell a Telstra Business Women’s Award finalist

BY ANDREA KELLETT

Mayko Hair founder and managing director Mel Bell is a Victorian finalist in the 2016 Telstra Business Women’s Awards.

The 28-year-old made the finals of the Victorian Young Business Women’s Award – a category that recognises the country’s most brilliant women in business, under the age of 30. Mel launched Mayko Hair in 2008, when she was just 20 years old. The category was won by Anna Ross of Kester Black - a leading manicure and skincare brand built on beautiful design and ethical values.

Award organisers said Mel “strives to have her brand set the benchmark of quality in the industry. She seeks to achieve this by securing recognition through competitions, participating in industry events and showcasing her work through photo shoots. She also ensures that she keeps technology up to date and above all, maintains outstanding client satisfaction.”

Mel has also launched #maykover Love Bomb - a program designed to give back. It offers an ‘ultimate pamper session’ to a different person each month. “We want you, the people of the community, to nominate and tell us stories of people who are less fortunate, experienced trauma or are in need of some serious TLC,” Mel explains.

“We understand at Mayko Hair we have the power to change women and make them feel sexy and that’s what this program is designed to do.” More at www.maykohair. com.au/maykover-Love-Bomb MAYKO HAIR A: Shop 3/70 Mountain View Rd, Mt Eliza T: 9787 3489 W: www.maykohair.com.au FB: /Mayko Hair

It has been life in the fast lane for the Rams of the Zodiac in recent times. This month is no different. You can either go with the flow to see what life and the universe casts your way or you can take the reins and control your own destiny.

Home and family are at the forefront of areas needing attention in your life during November. You need to take a step back from work and any daily activities that are fraught with tension. If you need a release then kickboxing or martial arts may provide a positive avenue.

When it comes to friendships you are generous, loyal and fun to be around. Most of your friends stick around for life. However, this month sees shifts occur in your links with others. You are likely to be on the receiving end of praise, gifts and general appreciation.

Taurus

Words play on your mind this month as your thoughts are active. Discrimination, analysis and gaining finesse in one or more tasks take precedence. This is also the ideal month to gain new skills in communications, advocacy, neighbourhood politics or goddess energy, if you are more spiritually minded

Virgo

Capricorn This is your month to be elevated among the

Partnerships are highlighted this November. You are about to sow the seeds for new alliances or reap the rewards from past endeavours. The Law of Karma is evident now. Good acts and kindness in the past result in a rewarding and companionable November.

Gemini

Lifestyle is the key word for you in November.

Do you live a healthy and active lifestyle? Are there any improvements that you can make to your daily life? These are the types of questions that can be asked and, if necessary, changes implemented.

Libra

The positive planet Jupiter continues to wind its way through your Zodiac Sign, presenting you with opportunities to either make the most of your current attributes or reinvent yourself if you feel the need for change. Seeds that you sow now are likely to reap great rewards further down the track.

Cancer On the whole November is a fun-filled month for Scorpio The planets are aligned in a way that packs a Cancerians. However you do have to be wary of upsetting those closest to you. Changes in your major relationships can feel threatening but you need to note whether or not those alterations are vital to the health of your partnerships.

ranks of your peers. Like a mountain goat, you have climbed to the top of the hill. You now have a great view from which to appreciate all that you have achieved. Likewise, others see you and hold you in high regard.

Aquarius As an Aquarian you are accustomed to group

dynamics. This month sees you embroiled a little more than you would like in the politics. This could involve friends or colleagues squabbling or party or professional politics. You may be called on to do your civic duty.

Pisces During November your fortunes are likely to change.

If you believe in yourself and embrace new opportunities then you are likely to boost your fortunes. You need to invest in positive thinking, trusting your intuition and ensuring that you don’t go overboard in your efforts.

Hence, six of his favourite words: Love. Life. Tradition.

Generosity. Extravagance. Food.

Such is the beauty of what Guy presents on a plate that spare tables, and even a few spare seats, are hard to find in his cafe; his cooking classes are sell outs; and his cookbooks ‘Eat Ate’ and ‘Hungry’ (you can find both in store, on display) are on coffee tables and in kitchens across the country.

At age 63, Guy has creative energy to burn. In fact, he still dreams of opening a second café and has been working on another cookbook, called ‘Tom’.

“I’ve been saying for 15 years that I’m going to open another place but I’m too fussy about what I want,” he says.

“My philosophy has always been to try everything, do everything. We used to have a tote bag that we used to sell that said ‘Do Everything’ and that’s kind of the Shop Ate motto really, because life’s too short.”

‘Tom’ is waiting to be published, perhaps self published this time around. Tom, Guy explains, was his name for the first 11 years of his life, before his parents changed it to Guy. “It’s beautiful, it’s a beautiful book,” Guy says of ‘Tom’. “Tom is at home right now, he’s on my computer.”

While ‘Tom’ waits for the right timing, Guy is busy as usual at Shop Ate Café and Store, and with teaching. He’s running a bunch of cooking classes across Melbourne between now and Christmas, but you’ll have to wait until next year for one of his popular men’s cooking classes at Shop Ate.

WORDS BY ANDREA KELLETT PHOTOS BY WILLOW CREATIVE

Fifteen years.

That’s how long Guy Mirabella has been working his magic in the intimate kitchen space that is the heart and soul of Shop Ate Café and Store in Mt Eliza.

And this talented cook, family man, cookbook author/ designer and business owner has his heart set on rounding that out to at least 30.

“In 15 years I’ll still be here,” he says during a wide ranging interview with Mornington Peninsula Magazine about life, good food and, of course, himself. “My father used to say that you go with your heart and your brain will follow.”

Whether influenced by his father, wired that way, or perhaps a dash of both, Guy Mirabella has always led with his heart, especially when it comes to food.

NOVEMBER 2016 (60)

He still, however, manages to find time for his other creative love, painting. In September, artworks by Guy featured in the front window of Pomme, in Main Street Mornington, to coincide with the store’s relocation from 59 to 27 Main Street, a little closer to the sea. “They represented a flight of birds, moving,” Guy explains.

Life in and out of the kitchen is pretty sweet right now, it seems. Bring on the next 15, Guy. SHOP ATE CAFÉ AND STORE A: 8/87 Mount Eliza Way, Mt Eliza T: 9787 0288 W: shopatecafeandstore.com www.morningtonpeninsulamagazine.com.au

Christmas Fare at Woolumbi Farm Woolumbi Farm Produce Store in Tyabb stocks only the best quality produce. Most foodstuffs have been bred and made on the farm and you can’t get more delectable or healthy than that.

Woolumbi Farm was founded on ethical food principles.

That means you’ll find rare breeds of free range animals and chickens you won’t necessarily find anywhere else.

All animals are butchered on site at this boutique farm to create the most delicious range of gourmet small goods on the Peninsula (owner and butcher Sonya Neff loves learning everything about the animal and treats them with respect and care). There’s also a fabulous smoke house where speciality hotdogs, cabana, and German continental sausages are created.

Christmas preparations are in full swing at Woolumbi Farm now. Sonya is taking orders for her wonderful melt-in-the-mouth ham, on or off the bone, bacon and porchetta. You can head in store to choose your cut and size or order online at woolumbifarm.com, but make sure you do it by the end of November when orders close.

Sonya and her husband Kenneth also have a wide range of Christmas condiments and speciality foods such as mustards, brandy sauce and Christmas puddings on offer - and if Sonya can find a few “Christmas elves to help” her, there’ll be brandy ice-cream as well. All gifts, including Christmas hampers, are wrapped in cellophane or black and white so you know you’ll be able to find something that not only tastes amazing but looks magnificent too.

“Woolumbi Farm is totally transparent to our customers,” says Sonya. “It’s important to know where your food comes from and how it has been grown or raised. We don’t use any pesticides and abide by the principles of environmental sustainability and all our ingredients are 100 per cent natural.”

They also offer CHARCUTERIE courses so you can learn

how to create your own small goods. Now that’s a Christmas gift idea in itself!

Dining experience impossible to fault It lasted for only two seasons – just 12 episodes in all – yet Fawlty Towers has endured as one of the most loved British comedies of all time. Now, just in time for Christmas, Basil, Sybil and Manuel are coming to Brooklands of Mornington in the highly acclaimed dinner and show, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience.

Starring Paul O’Neill as Basil, Karen Hamilton as Sybil and Anthony Sottile as Manuel, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is an affectionate homage to the 1970s TV series written by John Cleese and Connie Booth. However, it doesn’t use any of the original TV scripts; instead, 70 per cent of the show is improvised, with the diners calling the shots, so no two performances are ever the same.

Faulty Towers The Dining Experience was born in Australia in 1997 and has since toured the world. This year alone it has

been performed in 20 countries, and it is also in its fourth year of a West End residency in London’s Charring Cross.

Critics have acclaimed it as an “evening of superb food and comedy” and its cast as “stellar”.

Now it’s your chance to sit down to a ‘70s-style three-course meal during a two-hour show full of mayhem, mischief and madness that’s just perfect for your Christmas celebration, end-of-year

break-up or even an early Christmas present.

Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is on Tuesday-Thursday, December 6-8, with another show on Saturday, January 7.

Tickets cost $89 per person inclusive of dinner and show.

Alatonero (saltwater in Greek) is the newest offering from hospitality duo Zac and Jacqui Poulier, from the renowned Stillwater at Crittenden and Freshwater Catering.

Formally the McCrae Pavilion, the venue received a significant makeover before opening mid October, to rave reviews. Crisp white and royal blue are the distinctive colours used to create a restaurant oozing seaside and Mediterranean flavour.

The menu is full of Greek delights made to share, with a modern twist. Think mezze such as chargrilled octopus with fava and dill, goat cigars with pomegranate glaze and favourites such as saganaki and dips to start. Follow this with large plates such as whole fish, spit roasted free range meats and traditional moussaka.

As always with the Pouliers, local produce is the menu hero and all seafood and meat is Australian and only the finest quality.

The kitchen is headed up by chef Graeme Walter, who has worked with Zac and Jac at Stillwater over the years as well as at other high end dining establishments. You can be assured with this professional group the food will always be delicious and the service

Cameron Taylor, owner, The Boathouse

BY ANDREA KELLETT Cameron Taylor took over The Boathouse on the banks of Kananook Creek in Frankston five years ago. In that time, he has stamped his mark on the iconic restaurant, intent on making it a “special place” in its unique location. It seats up to 80 guests and up to 140 for cocktail service.

Cameron is a qualified chef with an eye for detail, a passion for fresh, seasonal ingredients and a focus on constantly evolving. Mornington Peninsula Magazine sat down with this restaurateur and long-time Frankston advocate (he moved to Frankston in 1981) ahead of the busy festive season to talk all things food, Frankston and, of course, The Boathouse.

Tell us what’s new at The Boathouse.

the Honey Blonde, Toblerone, Cheeky Applejack and more) and we’ve got new beers on tap, including German wheat beer (Edinger Weissbrau). We’ve got about 20 different beers and ciders on tap and in bottles... we’re talking boutique.

And as the weather gets warmer the menu will move more towards seafood.

I’m also just about to create a fire pit outside because I think that will create atmosphere.

What are you offering for Christmas?

Christmas Day we are having a nice fivecourse, simple menu that’s easy pleasy! (think sweetcorn & leek veloute with char-grilled Queensland banana prawns, smoked tomato salsa and chive oil for entrée; roast porchetta stuffed with currants and pinenuts, potato galette,

buttered greens, orange and rosemary jus for main; spiced plum pudding with brandy anglaise, fresh cherries and almond nougat for dessert, plus starters).

What is the key to your success?

Evolving. We are constantly evolving the menu, the dishes and the wine. We are always looking for new ingredients, what’s new, the next smart thing and it’s got to be fresh and exciting. We actually offer a martini as a dessert.

So you like to shake things up?

I’m not afraid of trying different things.

What do you love about Frankston?

I think it offers a lot to everyone and there’s more than just the beach – there’s diversity, open space and an untapped beauty here with Kananook Creek. I am an advocate for Frankston.

Have any big name celebrities dined at the Boathouse Restaurant?

Yes (but he won’t reveal who!)

What do you do when you’re not at the Boathouse?

I’m a Flying 15s state champion. I sail out of Davey’s Bay Yacht Club with a lady by the name of Sue Thompson and we’re aiming for the world titles in New Zealand next year. In the warmer months I’m down the beach once or twice a week.

Tuesday It’s all in a Crust

BY LIZ ROGERS

Crust Pizza is renowned for making delicious gourmet pizzas that really satisfy. Franchisees Pratap and Roja Manchukonda are making their mark in Mornington as family friendly operators who deliver great service and the Crust Pizza signature taste with a smile.

Pratap comes from a hotel management and catering background and has a great deal of experience in running hotels as an operations manager. Mix these qualifications with his family’s desire to create an environment where everyone is welcome, and you have the perfect recipe for that decadent taste, time and time again.

Health and palate are top priority at every Crust store. All ingredients are fresh and Crust authenticated, so you know it will be delicious. The Crust Mornington kids’ meal deals come with an organic apple juice and you can even create your own pizza in any size plus there’s seating outside which is ideal for a quick pizza stop under Peninsula skies.

The Long Table prides itself on more than 13 years of consistently delivering innovative menus inspired by local, seasonal and fresh produce and pairs its food offerings with a Peninsula focused wine beer & cider cellar.

The new addition of the Quealy Winemakers cellar door, open Wednesday through Sunday for tastings and sales, is a great compliment to this local institution.

This hinterland foodie haven takes pride on delivering events to remember whether on-site or Peninsula-wide from intimate weddings, birthday and engagement celebrations, hens’ parties with a difference or the next food and wine gathering for community groups.

Vespa’s Pasta, Gelato & Wine Bar is the place to be seen this holiday season. This Main Street favourite is open seven days a week, offering coffee that makes any morning worthwhile getting up for - but it is also famous for taking your tastebuds on a journey through Italy and satisfying the biggest hunger at lunch and dinner time too.

Everything is made fresh daily on the premises at Vespa’s Pasta, Gelato & Wine Bar in Mornington. Roberto Biguzzi ensures that Italian inspiration and fresh produce go hand in hand to create a space where delicious gelato, crepes, lasagne, Panini, soups and spaghetti come together (drop by today to sample their pasta, wine and gelato meal deal currently available).

Vespa’s Pasta, Gelato & Wine Bar is fully licensed so you can enjoy a glass

of vino over lunch or dinner, or with an afternoon cheeseboard - plus they are open late Thursday through Sunday. That means you’ve always got somewhere to go when you’re hungry, thirsty or just want a late night catch-up cocktail.

Made in the Shade also offers an Australia-wide refurbishing service between April and September to all its customers at about half the cost of a new umbrella.

Property Home Garden Our resident populations of sun-loving copperheads and tiger snakes are out and about again after another winter, and that means clearing shrubs, bushes, wood piles and other hiding places from around the house if you want to avoid an encounter.

“The snakes need a place to hide and feel safe,” says Mornington snake catcher Barry Goldsmith, “so if you remove those hiding places there’s less chance of encountering a snake. No snake has bitten someone unless it was disturbed first - we’re not on their menu.”

Killing the snake shouldn’t even be a consideration. “I just want people to know it’s cruel, it’s not necessary, it’s illegal, and there are snake catchers all over the place who can be at your place to remove the thing within an hour.”

It’s also dangerous – most people are bitten while trying to kill the reptile.”

Barry’s been catching and removing snakes for about 40 years. “It’s more of a pastime or a hobby – I just like to be the person people ring as opposed to killing it.”

If you’re the kind of person who wants to get up and go, then take a look at the ultra-light Tail Feather Camper. This trouble-free weekender and short stays away vehicle is perfect for small four cylinder car towing and those who don’t want to lug a large caravan or invest in a new car to do it!

The Tail Feather Camper lands right between a tent and a caravan. It’s easy to set up, easy to keep cosy (and off the ground) and is simple to tow to your next spot. At only 8ft long, 500kg and with a 50kg ball weight, it gives you the freedom to keep moving. It also has a removable roof so conventional garage or carport storage is straightforward.

You can purchase a compact Tail Feather Camper to fit your own 8’ x 5’ trailer or a complete camper/trailer package… and then you’ll be off, light as a feather.

Roll the dice!

The Mornington Peninsula is in with a chance to make it onto the iconic board game Monopoly and Mornington Peninsula Magazine readers can help make it happen.

The 2017 Australian edition of the world’s most popular board game will showcase Australia’s favourite locations – and the result will be decided by the voting public.

Here is how it works: state and territory tourism offices have been invited to nominate five key locations and attractions people know and love and the Peninsula has made the cut in Victoria. We are up against Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road, the Yarra Valley and Phillip Island. However, only two or three of the top five in each state/territory will make it onto the board (40 destinations are vying for 22 property spots).

The final selection is up to the Australian public the Mornington Peninsula needs your vote! It’s a rare chance to put the Peninsula on the map, so to speak.

Voting is open from November 1 – 22 at monopolyaustralia.com.au and you can cast one vote per state and territory, per day. The all new Monopoly Australia board is due for release in July 2017.

The NSW contenders include Sydney Harbour, Byron Bay, Orange, Coffs Harbour and Lord Howe Island; the ACT final five NOVEMBER 2016 (60)

are Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra, the Australian War Me-morial, Floriade and Questacon; the final five in Queensland are Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, the Whitsunday Islands and tropical North Queensland; South Australia’s five include Hahndorf, the Flinders Ranges, Port Lincoln, the Barossa Valley and Kangaroo Island; Western Australia’s top five are Perth, Margaret River, Broome, Exmouth and Esperance; Tasmania’s are Evandale, Freycinet, Hobart, Stanley and Strahan; and in the Northern Territory it’s a choice between Uluru, Kakadu National Park, Arnhem Land, Darwin and West MacDonnell National Park.

Ultra Light, Safe & Easy to tow Sleeps two (double or two singles), fits a standard 8’ x 5’ trailer, tare weight of 500kg, ball weight of 50kg.

Kiss appliance failures goodbye!

Is your refrigerator too cold, not cold enough, making strange noises, or you can smell last week’s $500 food shopping going rotten?

Have you turned up to the holiday house to find the beer is warm and you can smell the fish you caught and put in the freezer last week when you open the front door?

Peninsula Appliance Service will diagnose your refrigeration problem and provide an estimate on repairs and options.

They cover all the major brands including GE, Westinghouse, Sharp, Fisher & Paykel, Bosch, Jennair, Maytag and more.

And what about your oven? Has your oven or cooktop gone on strike? There are quite a few things that can disrupt that cooked meal – the oven door won’t stay closed, your oven temperatures are out of control, you can’t select that cooking program, the elements are failing and more.

Peninsula Appliance Service understands your disappointment. Call 0438 304 467 today, they have been fixing ovens and electrical appliances for more than 20 years.

With these longer sunny days we will begin to see substantial growth in our edible gardens over the next few months, and keeping up with it all can be overwhelming for some.

However, if you plan well for the season and understand how the cycles work in your own garden you can prepare and stay on top of the maintenance of your food crops.

The important things to keep in mind over this warm period are maintaining soil moisture, watching out for pests and diseases and consistently harvesting your crops.

If your soil has been prepared adequately prior to summer planting with plenty of nutrient and organic matter, a lack of soil moisture is really the main issue that may impede strong growth and healthy crops during these warmer months. A well functioning drip irrigation system covered with a thick layer of mulch is going to make maintaining moisture in your soil easy, no matter what water restrictions are thrown our way.

As a food gardener many of us will be trapping good quantities of water from our roofs anyway. As far as mulches go, a 75-100mm thick layer of straw or lucerne mulch will be fine. Any less will break down too quickly and lose its effectiveness.

As well as attending to your soils, make sure you keep a regular eye on pests and diseases over the season. I recommend casting an observant eye over your crops at least 2 to 3 times a week to see if there are any little crawlers or fungal issues. The common vegetable bug will be out and about, along with the cabbage butterfly, earwigs, slaters and their friends. A few bugs in the garden are fine and a little damage is nothing to worry about, so long as you catch them before any serious infestation takes hold you will be right. If you think you may have a disease issue, pluck a leaf or fruit and have it handy as you use your reference book … or Google it.

If there is a safe, non-toxic approach to remedying your situation, always take that option first.

Failure to keep up with harvesting your fruit and veggies can lead to all sorts of problems, so be sure to keep track of which plants are producing, and when (this will

help in subsequent seasons). Regular harvesting will encourage your plants to continue to produce, in most cases, and prevent rotting veggies attracting flies and bugs. You may also end up with dry, split or oversized vegetables if you leave them too long. Nibble as you wander to check how they are going.

The best way to stay on top of these things is to ramble through the garden two or three times a week sticking your fingers into the soil, checking for bites and bugs, and filling your harvest basket with goodies. It’s all part of enjoying an edible garden.

If you haven’t already, it’s the perfect time to plant your tomatoes, capsicum, eggplants, cucumbers and pumpkin. Try watermelon and rockmelon, both easy for beginners and “golden” on those hot summer days.

Successive plantings of leafy greens can continually go in to maintain constant harvests, and companion herbs will serve their dual purpose of helping other crops and providing tasty additions to meals and drinks.

Happy harvesting!
