BY ANDREA KELLETT
Alex Fevola is without doubt a well-known name and face across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. Now this make-up artist and photographer (and wife to Brendan Fevola, of course) has opened one
(4
of her successful Runway Rooms in Sorrento. The Runway Room is a luxe one-stop shop for hair, make-up and beauty services. Mornington Peninsula Magazine spoke with Alex about her Sorrento move.
Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month
We love that you have brought your Runway Room concept to the Mornington Peninsula. How did you come to select Sorrento? I have been holidaying here for over a decade and have always admired the retail strip. Seeing a hole in the market for a luxe salon that offers both hair and makeup, I decided to open a Runway Room. We were already servicing many weddings on the Peninsula so I hoped that with the offering of a luxurious venue and a local team, we would attract even more of the wedding market. Tell us a little about what you love about this part of the world. I have holidayed here for a long time and my family loves coming down over summer and spending time at the stunning beaches, the local restaurants, and I love shopping in Sorrento. When you are in Sorrento, do you have a favourite café, a favourite thing to do? Yes, we love Sisters Cafe and we love dining at Itali.co. We will often meet friends at the Sorrento Hotel for a drink on a warm afternoon. What’s your vision for Runway Room Sorrento? I really hope the locals support us throughout the quiet months. We have developed a VIP Locals Discount system to attract more local and regular clientele. We have invested a lot into making the experience luxurious and use only the best products, so I hope to see Runway Room grow to be the most popular salon on the Peninsula. I also hope to be recognised as the go-to for weddings and events as our team specialise in this area. What have your first six months been like? Fabulous! We couldn’t have asked for a better start. Our phone was ringing for appointments before we even opened so we are thrilled with our first six months. We are very grateful to the locals for their support and hope to forge a loyal following from the community. Is this the go-to place for the Portsea Polo? Yes, absolutely! We were fully booked last polo event and we had only been open
two weeks so you can’t ask for more than that. I think it helps that a lot of patrons are from Melbourne and are already familiar with our ‘signature service’ that is designed for events - The Luxe Makeover. Can we expect to see you and Brendan at the next Portsea Polo now that you have opened a Runway Room in Sorrento? Yes, most likely. We love the polo and have been many times, so hopefully if I can get out of the salon on time we will attend. Can locals expect to see you on Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento, regularly? Yes, more so throughout summer as we have a place down here and stay for a few weeks and during that time I like to work in the salon when needed. But I also visit regularly throughout the year. Tell us a little about the ‘affordable luxury’ experience at Runway Room Sorrento. Well, our motto has always been about providing a luxurious experience using quality products, but for an affordable price. We want our clients to come regularly so we have tried to keep the prices as affordable as possible. The Hair + Make-up Package is $139 and will leave you looking and feeling like a million dollars. We also offer regular promotions of $60 redeemable make-ups, which clients will find hard to beat. Our own products are of a superior quality as they’re professional grade and made in Australia. Do you have plans to open another store in the area? Not at this stage. However, you never know what’s around the corner. Feel free to add anything else our readers may find interesting about your new Sorrento salon. Just that we are the ‘one-stop shop’ offering all hair and beauty services including spray tans, nails, complete hairdressing services and a beautiful range of hair, face and body products from a range of different brands including Becca, Moroccanoil, Bondi Sands, Aspar, Evo and many others. Runway Room Sorrento is at 101-103 Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento. More at runwayroom.com or phone 5984 5594.

Jessica applied her talent and passion for the flute in a VCE subject
Season of Excellence
Ruby won first place in the Year 11-12 Award Category for her image ‘Gill’ in the Ilford School Photo & Digital Image competition
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.
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. “It’s 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.
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 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.

Sophie’s garment was selected for Top Designs 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 College warmly invites you to attend their VCE Season of Excellence evening on Wednesday 20 September, from 4:30pm to 7:30pm.

Beliefs about education At Woodleigh, we believe that education should be a journey of ever-expanding opportunities. One which opens up multiple pathways and helps students find their individuality and discover their passions. We commit wholeheartedly to the words of our founding Principal, Michael Norman, who said, “We ought never do for a young person what they, with a struggle, could be expected to be doing for themselves.” When students are challenged, real growth will occur. There is no growth without struggle. Students must be challenged – they must experience the discomfort that comes with breaking through to new ways of thinking. As children move from early childhood, through adolescence and into adulthood, they need to be given the space to grow, develop ideas, create, take risks, and importantly, to fail and learn from their mistakes. “Content knowledge matters. Skills matter more. Motivation matters most. Because
if someone is intrinsically motivated, they’re going to continuously acquire new content knowledge and skills.” (Wagner 2016). We can no longer apply 20th century thinking to 21st century problems. The employment landscape has evolved at an astounding rate in the past decade and knowledge is no longer enough. Today’s employers demand resilience, grit, perseverance, digital skills, critical thinking skills, tenacity, creative problem solving, collaboration and effective communication skills; qualities which are central to what we do, teach and value. The Woodleigh School learning model actively develops a range of diverse pathways for students, encouraging individuality, creative thinking and the development of adventurous minds. To learn more about our school visit www.woodleigh.school or contact our enrolments department on 5971 6100. JONATHAN WALTER - Principal

Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month
Each new life delivers joy to doctor Kate Sears from Mornington Peninsula Magazine 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 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-to-day 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.

Developing true friendships takes kindness, courage and a willingness to grow Throughout this term, Peninsula Grammar students in the Junior Years have been learning how to navigate the “bumps that appear in the road”. While it may seem like a mature concept, the Kinder to Year 4 students have immersed themselves in Peninsula’s Positive Education program that focuses on developing healthy relationships and navigating disagreements when they happen. “It’s important that our students know that despite wanting to be happy all the time, it is a normal part of life that we sometimes feel lonely, or find it difficult to make new friends,” explains Peninsula Grammar’s Director of Positive Education, Ms Therese Joyce. “Our students learn that friendships can change, and they may feel hurt if they argue with friends, or feel left out but they’re learning that these ups and downs are all part of being human.” Within the Positive Education program, student leaders in the Middle Years have been reflecting on the skills that make a good friend and leader. “Students learn about what friendship means and how to be a good friend,” Ms Joyce said. “Good friends are kind, they consider others and
( 12
act in a way that is fair and honest. Good friends stand up for each other, listen to any concerns and look for the good in others.” Peninsula’s Positive Education framework reflects the work of many psychological wellbeing experts who focus on the value of positive healthy relationships. “Our relationships with other people have a huge impact on our sense of self and our level of wellbeing and it is important for children to learn how to deal with challenges in their relationships and to develop good social skills.” “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.” ― Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Across the school, Peninsula Grammar has invited staff, students and the community to take an active part in a kindness initiative and to consider ways they can each bring a little more kindness to the world around them.

Killer weight loss plan lures sharks BY ANDREA KELLETT
Be Fit Food founder and
Mornington Peninsula Magazine
columnist Kate Save is reeling.
The Mornington Peninsula dietitian/exercise physiologist, 33, and her business partner, bariatric surgeon Dr Geoff Draper, have secured a $300,000 investment in their food business from Boost Juice founder Janine Allis, and it’s making headlines nationally. The pair appeared on the Channel 10 show Shark Tank on August 15, where they blew the sharks away with their RAPID weight loss meal plan that can strip up to 10kg in just two weeks. In the days that followed, Kate’s phone ran hot. “It’s ridiculous!” she laughed. “We have just done eight weeks’ worth of trading in one day. We are overwhelmed.” Be Fit Food is dietitian-designed, chefcreated and prepared, home-delivered
food formulated around the ketogenic diet — high fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate. It is designed to create rapid weight loss with “real food” instead of supplements or shakes. And theirs is a business backed by science. “There is science out there now to show that people who lose weight rapidly keep it off for longer,” Kate told Studio 10 during an interview in Sydney after the show aired. “We follow the science of the CSIRO.” Geoff and Kate applied to appear on Shark Tank a year ago, realising they needed a business partner with logistical expertise and an understanding of the food industry to help them take Mornington-based Be Fit Food to the next level – national. To find out more about Kate and Be Fit Food, head to befitfood.com.au, and of course, check out Kate’s regular column in the Health and Beauty section of our magazine. Be Fit Food is located at 49B Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington. Shark Tank screens on Ten on Tuesdays at 7.30pm.

Melbourne has just been voted the world’s most liveable city for the seventh consecutive year, but behind the shiny accolades is a group of people who are doing it hard. Hard as the bricks and mortar our most liveable city is constructed from. More than 100,000 Australians will be homeless tonight, and the one after that, despite our Great Southern Land experiencing its highest level of economic prosperity since the 1970s. Many of them will be under 18. The Mornington Peninsula has its fair share of homeless youth. Some sleep under the boatsheds. Some move from couch to couch. Why? Physical or sexual abuse, domestic violence, family and relationship breakdown, drug or
( 14
alcohol abuse or lack of employment opportunities. These can all come into play. There’s mental illness too. Loretta Buckley and Tatiana Croft from SalvoCare Eastern in Frankston explain. “We are constantly searching for ways to engage with our clients who are between 16 to 25 years old,” manager Loretta says. “As the main entrance point for homeless youth in the region, we offer a safe place. The Crisis Centres (Frankston and Rosebud) are non-appointment based services and provide information, referral and advocacy for our clients. We are here to listen.” “I got into this line of work to make a difference,” says transitional support program co-ordinator Tatiana. “It’s hard for these young people. They need information and a place where they can talk to someone in private. We offer referrals to refuges and crisis accommodation facilities, general housing advice and information, referrals to employment and training providers, counselling, drug and

alcohol, and family violence services. We need more youth refuges, and supported and affordable housing as well. We need to find beds for young people in crisis.” Fusion in Mount Martha is the only youth refuge on the Peninsula offering eight beds for a three-month stay. “The government-funded Headspace in Playne St, Frankston, also offers support for young people experiencing difficulties,” Loretta says. Long-lasting solutions need to be found to address this issue. Investing in families and young Australians ensures they have a future and can put homelessness where it should be – in the box labelled ‘thing of the past’. That’s what a truly liveable city is - a place where we all have a home. SalvoCare Eastern Crisis Centres are located at 37 Ross Smith Ave, Frankston, and 17-19 Ninth Ave, Rosebud. Call 9784 5000 or 1800 825 955 if you or someone you know requires housing assistance.

Let’s go for a walk
G’day! Meet James and Lauren, a couple of 20-something nomads who love to hike and explore the great outdoors. Last year they took this passion to the next level by launching a business selling travel essentials. That business, NAC, is a social enterprise, which is a business that exists to have a social impact. NAC exists to help end global poverty. How do they do it? They donate 100 per cent of the profits from the sale of their quality and sustainably manufactured adventure clothing to sustainable development projects. The first project they’ve been supporting is a Kenyan school providing free food and education for more than 500 kids living in the slums of Nakuru. James and Lauren have decided to share their top three Peninsula walks to inspire you to get out and see our region for yourself. It is easy to forget what we have in our own backyard, and we will admit to being the first ones to pack the car and head two hours or more in any direction searching for that perfect ‘new’ destination. However, after finally scratching the surface of what the Peninsula has to offer, we are kicking ourselves we didn’t get started sooner. Two Bays walking trail - Stretching across the widest
point of the Peninsula from Dromana to Cape Schanck, this 26.4km hike takes in all the beauty the Peninsula has to offer. Not only are the views incredible but you are almost certain to come across eastern grey kangaroos, black wallabies, echidnas and koalas, making for a truly authentic Aussie experience. The trail is made up of several short walks of between 1.5km and 4km, so you can break the walk up across multiple weekends and start where you finished up previously. With incredible ocean vistas from Arthurs Seat at one end and spectacular views over the geological formations of Pulpit Rock and Devils Desk at Cape Schanck, you will ask yourself why you didn’t do it sooner. The Coastal walk – Starting where the Two Bays trail finishes up, the Coastal walk on the southern side of the Peninsula showcases spectacular scenery along the 30km track. This walk between Cape Schanck and the Point Nepean National Park allows you to link up with the Point Nepean walk. Like the Two Bays trail, the Coastal walk encompasses many smaller sections that can be completed separately. From the rugged rocky ocean coast at Cape Schanck to the famous sandy surf beaches at Rye and Sorrento, this trail allows you to get among what you saw from a distance on the Two Bays trail. Take in the views of Bass Strait, marvel at the beauty of the
SHAPE UP FOR SUMMER! HAVE FUN LOSING WEIGHT & GETTING FIT AT
London Bridge and enjoy the heritage of the Coppins trail, which winds its way across cliff tops to Diamond Bay, including sections of an original 1800s limestonepaved footpath. Point Nepean walk – This is a well-known gem, yet it remains a must-do. With Bass Strait on one side and Port Philip Bay on the other, the two to four-hour Point Nepean coastal walk is a great way to explore the very tip of the Peninsula, allowing you to take in the history of the area, the rugged bush and the stunning ocean views. Cheviot Hill, Point Nepean Park’s highest point, overlooks Cheviot Beach, which beyond the spectacular view provides interest for history buffs (or conspiracy lovers) as the site of former prime minister Harold Holt’s disappearance in 1967. Along the walk you can also take in historic wartime relics and forts from World Wars I and II, exploring some of the tunnels and gun ramparts that add to the breathtaking views and making it a great spot for a walk after lunch. So lace up your runners and pack your bag this weekend and get exploring. Don’t forget to join the NAC tribe on your next adventure and explore with a social conscience by wearing NAC gear.

KWD HQ is a new chapter in the life of Kate Walker and her professional design team. With entrepreneurial skills in her DNA, Kate sees opportunities and seizes them with both hands, and the concept of KWD HQ evolved from a desire to showcase how much KWD itself has evolved and grown since it was founded in 2013. “Many designers subscribe to and specialise in one style,” explains Kate.
“However, our desire, expertise and experience lend themselves to much more than just one design style. We work with such a variety of clients from all walks of life and in so many different locations that our portfolio has embraced a wide selection of different aesthetics. It was essential that our new headquarters reflect this, and the result is a more masculine feel that will appeal to our rather large male client base.” Kate engaged Carlo Romanin, of Romanin Design (who is also a local), to direct the design for KWD HQ, and Mount Martha Village was the ideal location. Everything

in KWD HQ is based on black, white and grey tones (other than the timber flooring) to enable the products to shine. The granite, marble, the black carpet and the European oak flooring are all from KWD’s supply partners. It’s a collaborative space with an interactive peg display board at the central core of the product development area. KWD HQ is a hub for innovation, and the ergonomic space has been designed for inspiration and efficiency.
The exciting new KWD HQ premises is providing inspiration to other local businesses too, with KWD being engaged to manage the refurbishment of Volpino and Warlimont & Nutt Real Estate – taking Mount Martha Village to new heights in terms of quality, style and design.

Chisholm TAFE at Rosebud has a variety of courses in the Hospitality space that will prepare you for work, provide apprenticeship opportunities, or further study through pathways to higher education. With a 16 per cent increase predicted in hospitality trades by 2020 and 55,000 hospitality jobs available over the
next five years, there’s never been a better time to work in hospitality, particularly on the Peninsula. TAFE programs range from commercial cookery, patisserie, and front-of-house training along with travel and tourism courses. There’s a range of job-ready short courses such as barista training and coffee making, cocktails and ‘mocktails’, Responsible Service of Alcohol and Responsible Service of Gaming to get you started. Chisholm’s teachers work with industry to design courses that meet their needs, which means that your hospitality qualification will help you get ahead. You can start with an apprenticeship or fast-track your qualification by studying full-time. Did you know that 61 per cent of businesses have vacancies but can’t find qualified staff? Find out what’s possible and start the conversation with your local TAFE today. Chisholm’s Mornington Peninsula Campus located in Rosebud provides a comfortable and community based learning environment with strong links with the local industry that provide placement opportunities. Chisholm’s dedicated teachers understand the local needs of industry and make learning relevant to the future success of their students. Applications for 2017 are still open.

Maria Peters is retiring after a 30-year career that began with a casual teaching role at Chisholm and ends as the CEO of one of Australia’s most successful TAFE institutes. She talks to Mornington Peninsula Magazine about her early teaching life, her seven years as Chisholm’s chief executive and the changes she’s seen along the way. What led you to Chisholm? I always had a passion to be in a career where I was interacting with people. I went to Monash University, started law and thought that wasn’t for me and ended up in education. I taught at Karingal Secondary for nearly nine years and worked in the Frankston/Mornington Peninsula region for years. I was on family leave and met someone who said “You should consider doing a day a week at Dandenong TAFE”, and I thought that would be interesting. I was very fortunate to meet a committed group of teachers and we were working with migrants. I was teaching English as a second language and also disengaged adults and young people who had literacy and numeracy problems, and I found that really rewarding. It really made a difference to those people who were here to improve their English so they could study or get a job. How has Chisholm changed in the past 30 years? I believe our reputation as an organisation has grown. It’s a strong, well-regarded organisation and a sustainable one. I think our relationship with industry has really strengthened and as a result we’ve got industry coming and partnering with us. Teaching and learning is still at the heart of the organisation, but what the organisation’s done is look at the capacity to grow our business so we can reinvest back into our business for our students, staff and community. That’s really important because you can’t just rely on government funding – we saw that happen in 2012 (when the State Government cut TAFE funding by $300 million) - as it leaves your organisation vulnerable.
Maria Peters with Chisholm’s 2016 Apprentice of the Year, Danielle KaziShedden, and comedian, actor and TV host Colin Lane. We’ve got our own degrees now and we’re also offering degrees with La Trobe, so young people and others returning to study will have a pathway, a quality degree option in their local area without having to travel. It is important to build that aspiration. What achievements are you most proud of? I’m very proud of the fact that after 2012, when many TAFE institutes struggled, the staff rallied and we’re the organisation that we are today. It’s really not about me at all; I just feel it’s been a real privilege to lead an organisation like Chisholm and I think the reasons it’s been successful is because of the people, their commitment to what it stands for, and the fact that we do exist to transform lives. I’m just a custodian of a great organisation and now it will be someone else who will lead it under a great Institute Board. What will you do after you retire? My family tells me it’s perhaps time to put me first, but I’ll just have a break. Hopefully I might do something with culturally and linguisticallydiverse communities or with youth on a voluntary basis, go back to my grass roots. I only made my decision three weeks ago and I really haven’t thought very far ahead. The decision is still a little raw. I leave with many wonderful memories and only wish Chisholm continued success in the many years ahead.

Once a dad, always a dad - and we love them.
To celebrate Father’s Day, Mornington Peninsula Magazine spoke with a few special dads who work with their son or daughter on the Mornington Peninsula, including our own Archie and Molly. We chatted about their bonds, banter and more.
Archie and Molly – Mornington Peninsula Magazine If you love Mornington Peninsula Magazine and you love all things local, you’ll love this. At the heart of our leading independent publication is a father-daughter team who work at completely different ends of the business to make the magazine the success it is today. Molly is our sales executive and operations manager who drives the look, feel and success of the magazine from the office while her dad, Archie, drives the business from behind the wheel - literally. Archie is our distribution manager and a familiar face hand-delivering the magazine’s bulk drops across the Peninsula and up to Melbourne every month. You’ll find him in cafes, restaurants, shopping centres, wineries, boutiques and every business in between, making sure the magazine gets to where it needs to be on time. The pair see each other often (more often than not in passing) thanks to their work and both agree that’s special. “I get to see her every day,” Archie says. “Not everyone works with their daughter. I get to see her smiling face every day. I’m in her life.” Molly says the pair are likeminded in business, sharing a “great work ethic”. Did either envisage they would end up working together? Definitely not, but both are happy it turned out that way.

Andrew and Jake – The Tyre Place
Marcus and Sarah – Mt Eliza Optical Marcus Bland and his daughter Sarah work seamlessly together. 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 five metres from Ritchies Supermarket, which means the petty cash can get a great daily workout. One thing was obvious when Mornington Peninsula Magazine popped by to chat to this dynamic duo: the respect for each other is palpable. Not everyone can say they enjoy their job. Visiting Mt Eliza Optical, it’s easy to see that Marcus and Sarah do. They love the work and the fact they get to joke around together. Humour plays a big part in these Mount Eliza residents’ lives. “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. Perhaps that’s one reason why Mt Eliza Optical clients keep coming back. “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. I’m now serving clients who remember me as a toddler.” Of course, Marcus loves that he can leave the running of the shop in Sarah’s capable hands. He’s good at practising for semi-retirement. Find them enjoying themselves at Shop 5/89 Mount Eliza Way in Mount Eliza.
Mornington Peninsula Magazine met father and son team Andrew and Jake last month during a visit to their family-owned and operated business The Tyre Place in Mornington and we could not resist including them in our Father’s Day special feature. They live together, work together full-time and get along like a house on fire! Jake, 22, never expected he would work with his dad. The qualified mechanic joined the family business after finishing his trade and has worked alongside Andrew for the past four years. It turns out Dad didn’t expect he would ever work with his son either. “I used to have a cushy office job and Jake wasn’t a cushy office job kind of guy,” he jokes. What is the best thing about working together? “We just get along,” Andrew says. How did it come about? “It just kind of worked out that way,” Jake adds. “It’s good, we get along.” Do they enjoy a laugh at work? Absolutely - and, yes, they get on each other’s nerves at times, but it usually doesn’t last long. Finally, who is the boss? “Sandy!” they laugh, referring to Mum. The Tyre Place is at 2/131 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington.

Mount Martha boy Maverick Newman has had a busy year. While studying at the prestigious Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts in Perth, he’s also found the time to perform his original one-man show around the country and become a key figure in the AFL’s Pride Game.
personal stuff so getting up and getting through the first show was probably my proudest achievement.” Mav sees the play as a critique on current queer media, where he says the storylines of queer characters are almost always centred on the struggles they face with their sexuality rather than the struggles of being human. “As a society, we need to start portraying queer characters as everyday humans going through the same struggles and issues as everyone else.” Finding Felix tackles this issue head-on, with our pianoplaying lead comedically detailing not only his struggles with growing up gay, but with surviving in a footy-mad world. This is something Mav knows all too well; his brother is Sydney Swans player Nic Newman. So it was hardly a surprise when Mav became heavily involved in the media coverage surrounding this year’s AFL Pride Game, an experience he admits was difficult. “I came out and then was immediately placed in an environment where it was literally so accepted to be gay musical theatre! It was hard to get put back into a world where people still don’t understand that being gay means literally nothing, but I was given a platform to help some young person out there who is getting bullied, or help a parent who struggles to accept their child. I choose to be as involved as possible and sit in the discomfort of being tokenised to hopefully make someone else’s life easier.”
So how did he get here? The life-long fan of musical theatre credits the start of his journey with writing his first play in Year 12, an experience that ignited a passion to create works of his own. “When I got into WAAPA studying as an actor, I started writing a full-length play about the struggles of a young man coming out in modern Australia,” Mav says. But when he realised the first draft was his own “white privilege memoir”, Mav knew he had to take the play in another direction. “I laughed and thought maybe it could work as a comedy about a young kid who doesn’t receive the oppression he thinks he deserves.” And so was born Finding Felix: A Memoir! Mav opened his musical to sold-out shows in Perth earlier this year before bringing it home to Melbourne in July. “I had laryngitis and was close to cancelling opening night. I was alone - my folks were in Europe - and I was dealing with a whole heap of

Boys keep swinging BY LIZ ROGERS
Ever wondered what it takes to be a pro golfer? Well, Mornington Peninsula Magazine caught up with a couple of 20-something ‘pros to be’ to chat about commitment, early morning starts and multiple visits to the physio over a breakfast fit for champions. Alex Dudley-Bateman and Ben Murphy love it. Being outside. Hitting the ball with a club meant for position-perfect precision. Hanging on the greens, fairways and sometimes deep in the drink or a bunker. Both are currently doing a threeyear PGA traineeship that involves desire, talent and time. You’ve got to put in a lot

of time. The PGA Trainee Program has evolved to become one of the world’s most recognised golf-related training programs. Many of the big names in the sport – think Greg Norman, John Senden and Nick O’Hern - have been through it. Alex and Ben are almost finished and have set their sights on very different futures. “It’s a pretty demanding timetable,” says Alex, who wants a career as head professional coach. “We’re up early and at the Pro Shop (Portsea Golf Club) by 6.30am most mornings. Then there’s assignments – 30 to 35 per year - to complete. Subjects like business, coaching and management.” And of course there’s getting out on the

hallowed ground and swinging. “I don’t go out there to come second,” says Ben, who has his sights set on the world tour. He won five tournaments in Victoria last year. “It’s all about finding form for me. Being out there and getting better.” Both young men have been playing since they hit double digits and haven’t stopped since. I ask them what kind of mindset you need to pursue a sport that can lead to shoulder reconstructions and backs that don’t know when to quit burning. “I’m constantly at the physio,” says Alex – and that’s where he’s going after we finish breakfast. “Me too,” says Ben. “You’ve got to get to the gym to keep as fit as possible to try to prevent injury, although there’s
never any guarantee.” “It’s important to keep a positive attitude,” agrees Alex. At an age when many young blokes are staying up late and sleeping in even later, these two young Peninsula men are deeply committed to the game and the lifestyle it can offer them. They’ve had to work hard and it will probably only get harder, but that isn’t a deterrent for either of these talented players. Their sponsors believe in them too, and supply them with clubs and fresh gear to prove it. It’s a long way to the top of a sport that revolves around a small hole, a long club and a streamlined strategy - but these boys are on their way. They’re swinging it!

The baby goats and lambs are the cutest and they need bottle feeding constantly. They are always hungry. That’s why they often end up in the house in front of the television with the kids, who just love them. They are just so funny and do the craziest things. “We breed many different animals on the farm and they all become part of The Big Goose family.” And so it just goes to show there definitely is more than one kind of family unit these days.

Kobi Watson: Kobi Jack’s McCrae Kobi Watson isn’t your average teenager. The Balnarring 17-year-old is a chef and business owner. With the support of his parents, he bought his first business in November at the age of 16 – now a casual pizza and pasta bar in McCrae called Kobi Jack’s. You could say business is in his DNA. Mornington Peninsula Magazine sat down with this remarkable young man and his mum, Carol, who works on the restaurant floor, to find out more.
What does Kobi Jack’s stand for? Kobi: Kobi is my first name, Jack is my middle name. Dad has always called me Kobi Jack. It was a name used by other people and it sort of stuck.
How did this come about at such a young age? Kobi: It’s a long story. Mum and Dad have always had cafes and restaurants and I’ve always worked in them. I worked for a florist when I was about 10. Mum and Dad also had a milk bar and I helped out there too. Carol: When he was three he had a fully operational post office in his bedroom where we used to have to write letters and post mail, and Kobi was so disciplined in sorting the mail and making sure it was always delivered. I thought back then, “He’s going to be a businessman.” He was born with it. He’s always been passionate about business.
Do you watch celebrity cooking shows? Kobi: No, I’m at work at 7pm on a Friday night, cooking for my own customers, living my own food dream.
How has Kobi Jack’s been received? Kobi: I’ve been humbled by the overwhelming support of all the locals and our regular customers. I guess how busy it’s been reflects how it’s been received. How did you come to buy the business? Kobi: I was in London and I saw it advertised online and I thought, “I could buy that!” I said to Mum, “Do you reckon I’m too young?”
SEPTEMBER 2017 (70)
Do you have a celebrity chef you admire? Kobi: Chefs don’t usually idolise celebrity chefs. I just admire the incredible quality of what’s being forged on the Peninsula by the hard-working producers.
What do you do when you’re not at work? Kobi: I do a fair bit of running, all the normal things. I like going out to other restaurants and I try to catch up with friends and watching sport. I try to be 17. Is Mum proud? Carol: Very. I always say to him, “Take a breath and look at what you’ve created.” He’s like an old soul with such a level head. Do you use local produce? Kobi: Yes, I try to source local where I can, of course, and I’ve had incredible help and support from all the local producers and suppliers that I’ve used. They’ve really backed me.

in-laws and any aspect of home management, from expert cleaning to discretely serving guests at a dinner or private party - and the list of satisfied clients is growing every week. “Our experienced, valued staff work to a strict code of conduct so that ‘Henrietta’ will be in your home again and again.” HENRIETTA’S HELP @ HOME T: 9766 1099 or 0425733290 W: henriettashelpathome.com.au FB: facebook.com/ Henriettas-Help-at-Home-148302972339577/

Rob’s heartfelt thank you BY ANDREA KELLETT
It’s a wintry mid-week morning and Rob Licciardo takes a seat inside a café in Mount Eliza. The energetic, much-loved and unmistakable chef/restaurateur can barely move before locals approach him, shaking his hand and wishing him well. It’s just on two weeks since the doors to Rob’s iconic Licciardos Gallery Bar & Grill Mt Eliza, on the Nepean Highway, suddenly closed and it’s fair to say the news has spread swiftly. For Rob, his family and the restaurant team, the closure was unexpected, unwanted and “heartfelt”. Rob announced the closure “with a heavy heart” on Facebook and he now wants nothing more than to express his thanks. “I really want to say thank you to all my friends
who came to the restaurant,” he says during an interview with
Mornington Peninsula Magazine. “I prefer ‘friends’ to the word ‘customers’. These people have really let me be as creative as I can be and want to be. They’ve backed me all the way.” He also says his website will remain active for the rest of the year. His youngest of three daughters, Maddie, who worked on the restaurant floor alongside Rob and his wife Christine, also took to social media after the closure: “On behalf of Licciardos Restaurant, our family and staff; we are sad to announce the sudden closure of our much-loved business…We would like to send thanks to EVERYONE who has supported us over the past years and we will be forever grateful – we will miss seeing all of your faces in our beloved restaurant.” Licciardos Gallery Bar & Grill Mt
Eliza opened five years ago and was Rob’s second successful restaurant in Mount Eliza (his first, Licciardos Restaurant in Mount Eliza Way, was a village icon, open for 23 years). Will there be a third? “There will be, in some form or other,” the free-spirited surfer, triathlete and father of three says. “I’m happy to entertain anything at this stage and I want to keep creating.” As for a return of his famed vacherin dessert, time will tell. It’s little surprise Rob is already fielding inquiries and dreaming big, as he does. But, for now, this 60-year-old is taking a bit of time off to focus on two of his non-culinary passions - travelling and triathlons - competing in the ITU World Triathlon in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, this month. Happy days, as Rob would say. All at Mornington Peninsula Magazine wish Rob, Maddison and Christine well.
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.

Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month
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 you. Freedom’s commitment is that every ageing Australian deserves not just good aged care, or even better aged care, but the very best aged care this country can provide. Freedom Aged Care has a community right here in Dromana and many more across Victoria, so call Freedom on 1800 316 495 or visit freedomagedcare. com.au – because what’s life without freedom?

Safety Beach Country Club/Golf Club is nestled in a valley surrounded by Arthurs Seat and Mount Martha on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula. This flat 18-hole golf course meanders past lakes that are dotted around the course. The clubhouse, which overlooks the course, is a great place to relax and have a drink after a game, and dining is available at the Atrium restaurant. The club’s resident golf professional, Shane Johnson, is on hand to give individual lessons. Ladies’ clinics commence in October for women wanting to play golf but who need guidance. The Safety Beach Golf Club is holding a gala day on Sunday, November 19, with a Four-Person Mixed Ambrose. The entry fee is $100 per team, which includes a barbecue after the completion of the round.

First came the charming wrought iron welcome signs and the mermaid benches, then the colourful bikes in the Village Green. Now Mount Eliza Village has an official gateway sign. You may have already seen it on the Nepean Highway near the intersection of Canadian Bay Rd on the approach from Frankston. Mornington Peninsula Magazine spoke with Mt Eliza Chamber of Commerce Marketing and Development Co-ordinator, Alison Doherty, about the tall structure containing a leaf and the words ‘shop taste indulge’. “It’s a gateway sign to draw more attention to Mount Eliza Village, and for passing traffic to realise it is a vibrant shopping precinct,” she explained. “We have one sign up now and eventually there will be two. The other one will be somewhere on the approach from Mornington.” The Chamber of Commerce, which is the local business association, initiated the project and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council funded it. The leaf design is a reflection of the treed surrounds. “It symbolises Mount Eliza,” Ms Doherty said. The chamber is also working with the council on other village streetscape improvements, including new median strip plantings.

A ship that called at Melbourne in May and again in June looked like a typical PCTC. From any angle, Emerald Ace looks just as ugly as other car carriers, but from above an array of solar panels can be seen. Though other ships must keep their engines running while in port to provide electrical power for all of their systems, Emerald Ace is able stop hers. She draws on power that is generated while at sea by the 768 solar panels on her top deck. Up to 2.2MWh of electrical power can be stored in a lithium-ion battery array located low in her hull. The batteries also act as fixed ballast. The only clue to the environmentally friendly nature of Emerald Ace is the banner painted on her side at the stern - SOLAR HYBRID. She is an example of one way in which some ship operators are making efforts to reduce the amount of pollution of the atmosphere. The problem of pollution caused by ships while alongside in port is a problem for most of the world’s large ports. One solution used by a few ports is to provide power from the shore, allowing the ships’ engines to

be stopped. Apart from her solar power storage ability, Emerald Ace is very much like any other car carrier. Her length, at 200m, is about average and she can load 6400 standard passenger cars. Recent car carriers calling at Melbourne have ranged in capacity from 4000 up to 8500 cars. Many of these ships are known as PCCs (pure car carriers); others, including Emerald Ace, are called PCTCs (pure car/truck carriers) and are part of a larger group known as roll-on/roll-off ships.

equipment, cranes, farm machinery and other wheeled vehicles as well as car and trucks are loaded into these

The personal touch in tyres Hands up if you value personal service when your car needs a service or your tyres need replacing. Does your mechanic know you by name, smile and take time to discuss your needs? We have found a place where they do. The Tyre Place in Mornington–Tyabb Rd, Mornington, provides that good old ‘service with a smile’. It’s so genuine it’s refreshing. The Tyre Place is a genuine family-owned and operated independent business, which you’ll discover the moment Sandy greets you with her beaming smile when you walk through the door. Sandy, husband Andrew and their son Jake work together in the business. “We look after
people - that’s one of our biggest points of difference,’’ Andrew says. Sandy prides herself on making female customers feel relaxed. “It can be quite intimidating for women to come into a tyre place,” she says. “We get a lot of dads booking their daughters in and a lot of them ask if I’m going to be here when they come in.” Contact The Tyre Place for all your tyre and automotive needs, including routine services, mechanical repairs, suspension, batteries, wheels, brakes and more.

Teens exhibit awesome design skills
The Peninsula Teenage Fashion & Art Exhibition returns to Dromana College on Monday, October 23. This year marks the 10-year anniversary of this muchloved Peninsula event. Entrants from years 7 to 12 from a range of local secondary schools have been busily creating garments to enter in one or more of the three categories: Special Occasion, Fantasy, and Casual Wear. The standard is exceptionally high, so it’s not an easy task for the four judges, who are respected designers, makers and teachers. Although a competition, the event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and showcase these talented young designers. The evening kicks off with an art exhibition in the design centre at 6.30pm, where guests are treated to a glass of Peninsula wine and finger food prepared by Dromana College food technology students. There is an opportunity to bid for some stunning prizes in the silent auction, kindly donated by a number of local businesses. With lights, sound and a runway, of course, the basketball stadium is transformed when the parade begins at 7.30. The aptly named Ms World introduces the designers, and the well-rehearsed models stride the catwalk to the delight of an enthusiastic audience. Tickets are $22 and can be purchased at the school reception or via phone on 5987 2805. The Peninsula Teenage Fashion & Art Exhibition is the main fundraising event for the Dromana College Parents & Friends Association. Proceeds go to purchasing much-needed equipment that benefits the school. Grab a friend and come along to support this future of fashion event! SEPTEMBER 2017 (70)
Help escape from mental illness Escape rooms are a fun, interactive team game where you are placed in a specially designed room and have to use the items and information you find in there to solve a series of puzzles. Each time you solve a puzzle you’ll be given additional information for the next puzzle. Rooms often have a specific theme or storyline unique to that room. Complete the room with your team before the time runs out to be successful. Escape Room businesses across Australia – including Mornington - have teamed up to create Australia’s first Escape Week. From September 11-17, 20 per cent of all profits from participating Escape Rooms will go to support the Black Dog Institute, a charity that’s dedicated to understanding, preventing and treating mental illness. So get your friends, family and colleagues together and test your wits for a good cause. LOCKED IN ESCAPE ROOMS A: 2/2 Carbine Way, Mornington T: 0413 010 431

Dromana. The locals love it and the tourists flock to it. This darling of the Mornington Peninsula boasts beautiful sandy beaches, top-class cafes and restaurants by the bay, an eclectic mix of businesses, and stunning sunsets over the water.

Over ironing? Here’s the answer Picture this – you run a busy Bed & Breakfast on the Mornington Peninsula, the linen needs ironing and you are swamped. You call Lucy’s Ironing Service, she collects it and returns it freshly ironed and folded. Lucy caters for busy B&B owners, families and holiday rental operators. It’s about personal service with quick turnaround times and pick-up/delivery.

TAKE A BREAK
before you’re forced to Every second business article you see these days is on how to avoid burnout, which is amusing because most people close to it probably wouldn’t have the time to read it. I can’t tell you how to avoid it altogether, but instead what you can look out for - or if it hits you, how to cope. Hitting a wall in your business and in your health looks different for everyone. For me, I caught a cold off one of my kids. Kept working in my business, my part time-job and my parenting job (sick leave – what’s that?). Ended up with a shocking cough; antibiotics helped until they ran out, then BOOM. I had the flu and was bedridden for three days. Wasn’t just the body that was affected; the mind too. The self-doubt and “What am I doing with my life?” questions crept in. And once they were in, they didn’t take well to me asking them to leave. It took me about 10 days to feel ‘normal’
physically; longer to feel like myself. And while I realised being unwell invited the big questions in, I had to acknowledge they’d been knocking at the door for some time. So, what do you do? Strategise. Check in with yourself every few months before you get that way and ask some questions: What are my values (personal and business) and am I meeting them? What are my life goals? Am I happy and doing things that make me feel good? Am I well and taking care of myself or can I do better? Getting clear on the above will help keep you on track. I answered a few of these questions and now I’m eating well, taking some quiet time out once a week with a book, and I’m back to doing weekly dance classes – something I used to love doing that’s just for me (work and kid-free!).

Mount Eliza milliner Felicity Northeast has taken out The Millinery Association of Australia Design Awards for the second year in a row. The theme for the 2017 awards was evening headwear, which Felicity said posed a challenge because people tend not to wear cocktail hats. However, it did give the entrants the opportunity to use luxe lush materials. “My entry was a flower dissection, the petals embroidered in shades of peacock, with different features seen at each angle,” Felicity said. “But the judges summed it up perfectly: ‘This evening hat, while fulfilling the brief perfectly, offered something more. It has sheen, not sparkle, it was textured and the shapes were beautiful.” The finalists’ hats have been displayed in Adelaide and are now heading to a Brisbane gallery before making their way back to the Sofitel Melbourne, where they will be displayed from early September for two weeks. Felicity says the emerging styles and
shapes of 2016 will be the millinery trends for 2017. “There will be more variation of where the hat sits on your head, with headpieces sitting further back or wrapped around your head think turbans, wraps, crowns, larger brims, boaters and headpieces for 2017. It’s still all about uncluttered, elegant clean lines but with a bit of an edge or an interesting twist.
“One of my feature trims this year is the unique printed feather, a unique collaboration with a talented print maker. Metallic leather flowers will also adorn hats, from delicate vines to statement flowers. Colours will range from iced tones in pink, blues and nude to vibrant reds and blues. Monochrome will always be popular and the strong trend of metallic will continue.”

This ladies’ online and real time fashion store provides new labels for hire – just log on to golightly.net.au to book a four or eight-day hire that includes dry cleaning - plus recycled labels for purchase onsite. The first thing you notice when entering the Golightly store is style. These girls have the eye and aren’t afraid to use it.

There is a better – or, should we say, cheaper - way to buy diamond jewellery on the Mornington Peninsula and the name is Diamond Coco. Owner Anthony Hansen is one of Australia’s leading diamond merchants and he says to expect prices about half that of a retail store! Despite the low prices, Anthony is passionate about diamonds and refuses to sell inferior diamonds found in so many retail stores. As Anthony puts it, his diamonds are his business card to the world, which is why more than 80 per cent of his business comes from repeat customers and referrals.

The question of whether obesity should be called a ‘disease’ has sparked controversy for many decades. One concern about labelling obesity as a disease process is the finding that some people with obesity are actually healthy and do not have any risk factors for associated diseases such as prediabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure) and dyslipidaemia (abnormal cholesterol), although they may be victims of stigmatisation. However, studies have shown that in the long term more than half of these individuals will develop some of these obesityrelated diseases and orthopaedic problems during their lifetime. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that we treat obesity seriously and start working more on prevention strategies. An abundance of food, low physical activity, and other environmental factors interact with our genetic susceptibility which results in obesity. It is believed that foods which are particularly high in energy and low in nutrients such as sugar-sweetened, fatty and highly processed foods are the primary agent in inducing obesity. The magnitude of obesity and its adverse health effects fit the epidemiological model of a disease process only, unlike an infectious microbe such as that which causes the flu, food is believed to be the culprit. Reversing obesity will prevent most of its detrimental effects, but unlike a disease you either do or do not have, it is a continuum, like baldness, and progresses with time. Therefore, you need to make significant dietary changes such as reducing total calories, sugar and non-nutritious, processed foods first, then try to increase physical activity. One benefit of rapid weight loss for obesity is that it is motivating - who doesn’t want to lose 3-5kg per week? Most importantly, consider doing this the healthiest and safest possible way you can with real food, then you will be able to continue a modified version of this diet long-term once you have lost the desired amount of weight. Be Fit Food is scientifically formulated for rapid weight loss. It is virtually nutritionally complete, made of only real foods, including four to 12 vegetables per meal, and contains no added sugars - plus our meals are also low in salt (sodium). Be Fit Food is doctor and dietitian-designed and endeavours not only to assist people to lose weight, but to educate them about portion control and nutritious choices to ensure they keep the weight off for life.

SEPTEMBER beauty tipS from our local experts
THE ULTIMATE IN SKIN REJUVENATION “Help! I’m another year older and have really noticed a huge change in my skin’s appearance. The lines and wrinkles are creeping in, my skin feels dry and sun spots are starting to appear. What can I do?” We’re glad you asked - the answer is Dermapen. What is Dermapen? Dermapen is the latest and most advanced form of skin needling or collagen induction therapy. It works on the body’s natural “healing cascade”, which, when triggered, will send collagen and elastin production into overdrive, in turn giving us the ultimate in skin rejuvenation. Better yet, unlike other treatment modalities, there is minimal to zero downtime - just fresh, healthy, youthful skin. What can Dermapen treat? The list is endless. However, the most common concerns we treat include fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, rosacea, broken capillaries, open pores, texture, scarring and stretch marks. Dermapen is suitable for each and every skin type and is especially great for the eyes and lips. What can I expect in a treatment? We begin with a thorough consultation, cleanse, exfoliation, Dermapen application, finishing with a hydrating and soothing recovery mask. The treatment occurs while you are cocooned in one of our heated facial beds. If you’ve been looking for an anti-ageing treatment with quick results that will make your skin glow, come and see our friendly therapists at The Beauty Emporium or visit us at thebeautyemporium.com.au THE BEAUTY EMPORIUM A: 12 Ranelagh Drive Mt Eliza T: 9787 2323 W: thebeautyemporium.com.au

SEE YOUR SKIN IN A NEW LIGHT
Saya Beaute’ Bar has a brand new personalised Skinscope consultation and we are really excited to share it with you. The device was developed for skincare professionals to help educate their clients on the importance of proper skincare. We perform this in the treatment room and thoroughly cleanse the skin, then we position your face in the Skinscope. Using the different settings we can look at your skin on the surface using the LED Daylight mode. We then switch to the LED UV-light mode which enables us to see into the deeper layers. This is where we can help to prevent the signs of future skin concerns. While some skin concerns and imperfections are visible in everyday light, some are only visible under UV light, which highlights damage beneath the skin’s surface by detecting the skin’s fluorescence. The device also allows the therapist to take images and document the consultation to see how the skin changes over the course of the treatment plan recommended for the client. A 45-minute personalised Skinscope consultation with one of our therapists is $55, redeemable on products purchased on the day. We would love to join you on your skin journey and help you achieve the skin goals you’ve always wanted! SAYA BEAUTE BAR A: 2/10 Eramosa Road East, Somerville T: 5977 6790

organic perfume + skin care focusing on essential oils
Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month
Louise says “unscented” products often have synthetic chemicals that can irritate the skin, and “organic” is often thrown around loosely – but the print on labels is getting smaller, making them harder to read. “Rest assured there are no ‘nasties’ in Kis products for face, body and home,” says Louise, who has been involved in the natural skincare and fragrance industry for 20 years. “The ingredient list on all Kis products is in decent-size font and easy to read.” The aim of Kis products is to put “glamorous” into everyday practical organic skin care, body care and perfumes that are healthy for you and your family. Focusing on superb essential oil blends, the range combines carefully chosen ingredients that will make you feel great. The organic perfumes, which took two years to develop because Louise wanted just the right fragrances, have been designed to be unisex - and each one is quite different. Because only organic essential oils are used, the perfume is subtle yet definitely leaves an impression. The Kis range is also cruelty-free, healthy, and beautifully packaged, and there will be a range of eco-friendly gift sets available for Christmas - all in recycled packaging.

James Barrett also, apart from personalised lip enhancements and treatment plans for his current clients, assists his large and expanding Asian clientele, and has for many years injected in an Asian clinic in
Melbourne. James brings to Mount Eliza those advanced skills it takes to “sculpt” a face and enhance gradually and naturally. Google “James Barrett Cosmetic Injector”. James is about to complete his nurse practitioner studies. Not to be outdone, Kay Nuttall – also in the completion stages of her studies as nurse practitioner - can be found by Googling “Kay Nuttall Cosmetic Injector”. With Kay’s continuing reach for perfection, her ability to look at your face in her gentle fashion, and smile, lift, soften and improve your enhancement without having her clients look “done” is outstanding.

FEAR NO MIRROR
When it comes to our reflection in the mirror, we are usually our own toughest critic. Even our favourite outfits can feel off limits because of stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise. Never fear, there is a solution: CRYOLIPOLYSIS. Cryolipolysis, which is the name of the actual technique and is provided by a few different companies, is a medical treatment used to destroy fat cells. Its principle relies on controlled freezing for non-invasive localised reduction of fat tissue in order to reshape body contours. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other cells, which means cryolipolysis is an exciting alternative to liposuction because there are no needles, incisions, anaesthesia or downtime. Cryolipolysis targets fat reduction and is not overall weight loss. Fat cells can be compared to a balloon that expands and contracts. When you lose weight through diet and exercise, you do not actually lose fat cells. Your fat cells become smaller. Cryolipolysis eliminates targeted fat cells in specific areas to reduce bulges and provide slimmer contours. The one-hour cooling process literally freezes fat cells, crystallising them. They die and are naturally eliminated out of the body as waste over two to four months. Many clients achieve a visible reduction in the treated area within six weeks. Depending upon the size of the bulge, treatments can be repeated if necessary to achieve the client’s desired result. In many cases one treatment will suffice. IF WEIGHT IS NOT GAINED, THE RESULTS ARE PERMANENT. Short-term side effects may be transient local redness, bruising or numbness of the skin. No serious long-lasting side effect has ever been reported. Areas can be treated for both men and women and include stomach, midriff, flanks, waist, hips, love handles, outer and inner thighs, back and front thighs, back bra bulge, saddlebags, chin, knees and upper arms. Each year treatments within our industry are improving to provide amazing results, says Sue Verheyen, and the use of cryolipolysis is certainly one of these. For the latest and newest equipment, with effective advances in non-surgical body contouring, phone 9787 7475 for a consultation. Note: when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and no weight gain, the desired goal can be maintained permanently. Still continuing to study and learn, Sue Verheyen and Adelle Simic are experts in their field and offer their clients extensive Medical Grade Skin Needling, Medical Grade Peels and Medical Grade Skin Care. “Our clients who had IPL or laser hair removal over 17 years ago still visit for skin treatments and improved technology,” says Sue. “BUT NO HAIR HAS RETURNED – NO YEARLY TREATMENTS FOR HAIR REMOVAL – PROGRESSIVELY PERMANENT.” - Sue Verheyen

SHIFT your barriers to health, happiness and success The brain controls body process, emotion and behaviour – but what controls the brain? It’s your mind! Jodie Ross from SHIFT Body and Mind Health Consulting works closely with her clients to achieve optimum health and happiness in a warm, safe and supportive environment. As a Biocompass® Coach, EFT and Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner, Jodie employs practical solutions to shift niggling symptoms, performance issues and major belief system stumbling blocks to achieve optimum function ability, health and success. As an integrated health practitioner, Jodie focuses on how the mind, brain and body interact at a subconscious level to hone in on why someone repeats certain behaviours or has ongoing symptoms. Think of this analogy – what we eat and how we exercise influences our body performance. What we think and feel does too.
Beliefs, thoughts, emotions and memory recall contribute to chemical reactions in the body, which in turn influence behaviour, symptoms and disease. Jodie helps her clients to rapidly locate, shift and update limiting subconscious programs to send different messages to the brain and body that are integral to health, happiness and success outcomes. Biocompass® is an advanced analysis system that targets the root-cause of behavioural, emotional and physical issues, while Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Tapping) and Matrix Reimprinting are gentle energy psychology techniques that shift stress responses and transform negative past experiences and beliefs via subconscious memories. This helps people to heal their past and dramatically transform behavioural, emotional and physical health and personal freedom in the present. To learn how Jodie can help you improve your health and happiness, give her a call today. SHIFT BODY AND MIND HEALTH CONSULTING M: 0413 788 781 W: www.shiftbodymind.com

your september stars by Stephanie Johnson
Aries This month sees you reap the
benefit from extra physical activities adopted previously. Your health and wellbeing are the focus. It is time to listen to your body. If you need to slow down and rest - a rare state of affairs for the fiery Ram - then do so.
Taurus The challenge for Taureans
this month is to embrace positivity and creativity. You need to find ways to shine. It doesn’t matter how much money it costs, it is time for you to be creative and have some fun. So no digging in your heels and naysaying for stubborn Taureans.
Gemini
The start of September sees your ruling planet Mercury heading backwards, or so it seems. As such you need to hunker down and get your house in order. Hold off on major decisions or projects until after September 5. After this date all systems are go.
Cancer It is time to let your voice
be heard. This month it is time for you to move forward with everything to do with the written or spoken word - letters, telephones, conversation, ideas, books, social media, and so on. Application rather than attainment is the key.
Leo
Money matters need to be dealt with this month. Paying bills, organising a budget or reading up on financial management are priorities. Pleasurable pursuits may be behind your need to examine your spending habits. Alternatively it could be a trip to the dentist or another health professional.
Virgo
Generally your life is moving in the right direction. Details are being attended to and you are happy with your plans despite a few delays. September 5 sees a change of direction. You move forward with greater finesse and speed. Contracts and communications take a turn for the better.
( 74
Libra
September is a social month with a few moments of pleasure-seeking respite. Your calendar is likely to fill with gatherings of all types. You may be called on for your excellent diplomacy skills. As a result you also enjoy retreating and recharging your emotional and physical batteries.
Scorpio Are you tired of apologising
for being a Scorpio, of the few seconds of silence that follow you mentioning your Sun Sign? This month sees you recognised for all of the positive aspects of your resourceful nature. You have a date with destiny, one that sees you reap some rewards.
Sagittarius Sagittarians are feeling
the final effects of the serious planet Saturn as it moves slowly through this Zodiac Sign. Not much longer now and you reap the rewards of all of your hard work. Just a little more attention to duty, details and karmic debt is required.
Find your inner peace Are you feeling a little stuck in life, dealing with loss, trauma or simply looking for something more on a deeper level? Nine Meridians Spiritual Healing might just be the answer for you. This is a unique healing service delivered in a serene farm setting on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula. Evie will guide you through your journey and leave you feeling a greater sense of peace, calm, self-confidence and more. On Saturday, September 30, and Sunday, October 1, Evie is offering a 15-minute complimentary Healing or Reading session so you can sample her nurturing touch for yourself. Limited spots are available and bookings are essential on 0417 390 039. Nine Meridians Spiritual Healing services include Sacred Healings (energy and chakra work), Children’s Healing sessions, Readings, Spiritual and Relationship Coaching, House Clearing, Detox and Grounding Foot Treatment. Plus a complimentary foot massage is included with your first appointment. Let Evie help you find your inner peace. NINE MERIDIANS SPIRITUAL HEALING W: ninemeridians.com.au M: 0417 390 039 A: 433 Truemans Rd, Boneo
Capricorn
Attention to detail at the start of September reaps rewards as the month progresses. September 5 is a turning point. Satisfaction is guaranteed from a job well done, particularly one connected to foreign affairs, study, teaching or publishing. Your horizons broaden through education or travel plans.
Aquarius
It is time to let go and embrace a new modus operandi. Negative habits, behaviour, projects and perhaps even people need to be set aside. September sees you adopt an attitude of gratitude for all that is good, while setting new, positive goals. You have the drive to achieve fresh objectives.
Pisces
Rewards come through your associations with other people this month. You are relationship-focused. If single then you may hit the social scene, keen to find a mate. If you are in a committed union then your partner is perhaps demanding support. Your relationship skills are tested.

Massive week for Peninsula music The Mornington Peninsula is home to one of Victoria’s most vibrant and diverse music scenes – and next month we get to celebrate it to the max during the first MP Music Week. From October 6-15, MP Music Week will feature an incredible array of workshops, events and live music, including the Frankston Guitar Festival, Oktoberfest at Mornington Racecourse and the Main Street Mornington Festival, as well as the semi-finals of The Voice of Frankston. For the first time on the Peninsula, venue owners, musicians, artists, producers and entertainment managers will have the opportunity to take part in a series of free Music Industry Knowledge workshops. Aimed at developing your music business knowledge and skills, including social media, getting gigs, digital tech, songwriting and performance, the workshops will also offer the prospect of gaining networks and collaborating with other like-minded individuals, developing relationships that may stay with you for life.
The opportunity to take part in such informative and practical workshops is something you can only get from universities in Melbourne and beyond, and that’s what makes this so special. Appropriately, MP Music Week kicks off with the annual Frankston Guitar Festival (October 6-8) as some of the finest strummers, pluckers, pickers and shredders from across the country and around the world come together to play guitar and party. It will be hosted by Beach 162 and founder Bill Dettmer. Don’t forget to pick up a copy of the first guitar festival poster from 1997, signed by such greats as Jim Kelly, Bruce Clarke, Ross Hannaford, Mike McClellan, Phil Manning, George Golla and Michael
Fix, for just $10. Oktoberfest (October 7) is fast becoming one of the most anticipated days on the Peninsula’s event calendar - and why wouldn’t it be? Who doesn’t love dressing up and having a great day out with friends? This year you can catch Sneaky Sound System, Shannon Noll and Spacey Spice as well as checking out Melbourne’s favourite food trucks, amusement rides and traditional German-style food and beer. For 20 years Northern Mornington Peninsula Tourism Inc has been producing the Main Street Mornington Festival, and this year’s spectacular (October 15) will again showcase the best the Peninsula has to offer in wine, food, art, entertainment, shopping, and fun. Live music is always a major part of the festival, and this year a number of stages will feature Peninsula-based bands, as well as a community stage, roving artists, and musicians. MP Music Week is proudly sponsored by the Mornington Peninsula Music Network (MPmusic). For details on all these events and to get yours listed as part of MP Music Week, go to mpmusic.com.au

Believe it or not, the Queenscliff Music Festival returns in just over two months! And if you thought last year’s line-up couldn’t be outdone, think again. The 2017 event has a sensational mix of local, interstate and international acts. There’s 30/70, The Beautiful Girls playing a 15th-anniversary show, Bernard Fanning, Freya Josephine Hollick, Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen, Mama Kin & Spender, Nai Palm, The Temper Trap, The Teskey Brothers, Xavier Rudd, Yothu Yindi & The Treaty Project, The East Pointers (Canada), Gabriel Garzon-Montano (US) and many more. Mornington Peninsula Magazine spoke with local lad Josh Teskey, from The Teskey Brothers, about the band’s first QMF performance in a long time. You are on tour with your debut album Half Mile Harvest. Tell us about that. We’ve been into it a couple of weeks now. We’ve done Brisbane, Byron Bay, Sydney and we came back to Melbourne to play at the Corner Hotel, then we were in Echuca for the Winter Blues Festival and we’re playing in Red Hill (Music On The SEPTEMBER 2017 (70)
Hill). It’s boom, boom all over the place! How does the QMF fit into your schedule? Our tour ends with the Queenscliff Music Festival. We sort of finish the tour and get straight into festival season. We are so looking forward to Queenscliff. I can’t believe the line-up this year! Have you played the QMF before? Many, many years ago, but not as The Teskey Brothers. We used to be the backing band for the Ella Thompson band back in the day. We were her backing band for three or four years at 16 or 17 years old so we got to play all these amazing festivals when we were young. Is the QMF a big event for your band? Definitely! We’ve been playing together for over a decade as a band but mainly pubs and smaller festivals. The Queenscliff Music Festival is a big stage. The 21st annual Queenscliff Music Festival runs from November 24-26 at Queenscliff. For Mornington Peninsula fans, there are some great ferry packages to entice us across the bay for a day or for the whole event.

Mornington powerhouse Jamroots will headline a stellar line-up of bands at next month’s Mornington Main Street Festival. Jamroots are driven by four of the Peninsula’s most experienced and accomplished musicians. Tim Stout lays down phat Bonham-style grooves while his Plant-like tenor soars over the crunchy blues riffs and psychedelic fuzz of guitarists Sean Arthur Thomas (Kisschasy) and Jesse Lee (Love Outside Andromeda), grounded by the roots bass lines of Agung Wicaksana. Since recording their self-titled debut in 2012, Jamroots have been very busy on the live circuit, touring Agung’s Bali homeland and gigging in support of their favourite NFPs The Thin Green Line and Sea Shepherd Foundation as well as various festival appearances and collaborating on the documentary Tree To Sea, celebrating the work of timber surfboard craftsmen. Inspired by the prospect of further collaborative opportunity and driven by a stoic DIY ethos, Jamroots have designed and built their own recording studio by the rolling surf of Point Leo Beach, where they have begun work on album No.2. Also on the bill are Joel Reed and Them Blues Cats, hailing from Brunswick and describing their music as “a saxophone-driven Texas shuffle”. Joel Reed (sax and vocals), Gary Watling (guitar), Malcolm Beveridge (bass) and George Weis (drums) first appeared at the Main Street Festival in 2014 and instantly won a whole lot of new fans. changoTRee (pictured above right) is the latest project of Ian Treloar and Ree Liddell, who have put holycow out

Joined by drummer/percussionist Simon Dewar and often such wonderful guests as Joel Plymin (sax) and Chris Commerford (bass), Ian and Ree have lent their soaring vocals and cracking harmonies to such worthy causes as Sea Shepherd, Clean Ocean Foundation, Surf Aid and Thin Green Line, mixing music and fun with social-environmental activism. Diddy Reyes and the 59 Rockers are a hard-hittin’ black rockabilly band who will leave you gasping for more. Frontman and vocalist Diddy Reyes, drummer Jordie Fitzgerald and double bassist Ben Goodall deliver up-beat boogie that will send you charging on to the dancefloor. Rob Papp & Blueshead have performed at festivals ranging from Marysville Blues Jazz to the Red Hill Winter Wine Festival. Rob Papp (vocals and lead guitar), Rob Dabbs (bass), Grant Miller (drums) and Rob Moe (keyboards and sax) channel Doctor John, Headhunters, The Metres and Muddy Waters in a blend of blues, jazz fusion and Texas heat with a splash of rock attitude. The Jackson Four (pictured above left) are Australia’s coolest blues, groove and swing jazz quartet whose distinctive style and sound is centred around the classic Hammond B3 organ. With the interplay between Peter Jackson’s vocals and Jeff Mead’s sax being driven by Gary Jones (Hammond B3) and Nick Mierisch (drums), The Jackson Four will have you screaming for more.

They work all year to bring this iconic event to the Mornington Peninsula, attracting residents and visitors from afar.

arts events leisure Discover the connection between art and nature at Whistlewood Gallery, Shoreham, this spring. The exhibition From Nature features new Aboriginal and select Australian contemporary art crafted from natural materials or brilliant colour. The works show the deep connection the artists have to their country and its ongoing regeneration - a truly joyous celebration of the spring season of rebirth and renewal. The exhibition includes barks and carvings from East Arnhem Land, new works by Far North Queensland painters Rosella Namok, Samantha Hobson and Fiona Omeenyo, rising stars, award winning and established artists from the APY Lands, the Pilbara, Queensland, the Western, Central and Eastern Deserts and new works by David Beaumont and Claudine Marzik. Experience spring inside and out as the surrounding gardens set the ideal stage for the exhibition. The ancient pear trees of Whistlewood stretch in full blossom, the sweet perfume of the freesias paints the air and the playful daffodils sprawl scattered in the lush grass. Immerse yourself in spring at every turn - tangible and imagined.

Exploring the effect of place BY REBEKAH PRYOR This spring, Lamppost Gallery welcomes local artist Jill Miglietti, whose Time : Place exhibition is on show from September 1-24. Miglietti is becoming significant in fibre and textile art and, having gained awards in several important Australian contemporary textile and quilting exhibitions, her work is now held in both public and private collections. For Time : Place, Miglietti draws a rich palette of colours and textures from the Australian landscape to explore the interweaving of emotion, memory, time and journey that maps deep, personal connections to place. She uses a variety of techniques to create surfaces reminiscent of familiar natural landscape elements, her art acting as a kind of ‘psychogeography’. “I see my art making as an extension of my experiences,” Miglietti says. “I ‘know’ a place by its colours, its textures, its patterns, shapes and lines. This knowledge is distilled and simplified, evoking the essence of place rather than recording reality. With fibre as medium, I build these evocations with physical and metaphorical layers, blurring the boundary between two and three dimensions.” Lamppost Gallery is open Wednesday-Friday 11am-3pm and Saturday-Sunday 1-4pm (closed Monday and Tuesday) in the St James the Less Church foyer, cnr Nepean Highway and Koetong Pde, Mount Eliza. For more details, visit mteliza.melbourneanglican.org.au/lamppost-gallery
Food, drink, music, games … and of course great art. It can mean only one thing - the annual Somers Arts Fair. Held in the beautiful coastal village of Somers, the arts fair is Somers Primary School’s most important annual fundraising event and was established in 2003 to highlight the wealth of exceptional artists in our community and to bring the community together for a wonderful family-oriented day. From 10am-5pm on Sunday, October 29, you’ll be able to whet your own creative appetite by taking part in handson workshops led by talented artists, or you can simply relax and be entertained by a diverse line-up of wonderful musicians. This year the headline acts include Indigenous Hip Hop Projects and blues band Catfish Voodoo. At 2pm the main event of the day – the art auction – will take place featuring beautiful artworks by renowned artists. The totem poles are a distinctive feature of the auction, with many local artists creating these highly sought-after pieces. Throughout the day there will be a variety of gourmet foods and homemade cakes on offer, as well as Peninsula wine, beer and cider, great coffee and many country fair activities including children’s games, a wide range of craft market stalls and more.

Have a laugh, make a difference BY LIZ ROGERS
Get laughing this October in support of a subject that is close to my heart – autism - and what we can do to help those affected by the disorder to reach their full potential. Abacus Learning Centre is Australia’s first organisation offering centre-based Applied Behaviour Analysis and has been doing so since 2008. In its commitment to providing excellence in programs specifically designed to enable children with Autism Spectrum Disorder to thrive, this team of dedicated specialists presents its latest fundraising venture at the Balcombe Grammar School Hall on October 14 where conversation and Comedy for a Cause will go off with a bang. Comedy for a Cause was established in 2013 by comedian and Masters of Business Administration Mathew Wakefield, who quickly realised that events such as these could be a great success given his expertise in comedy. Comedy for a Cause now facilitates comedy shows for schools and charities across Australia and comes to the Peninsula with a stellar line-up of joke-busting performers from the Sydney and Melbourne International Comedy Festivals - all in the name of helping those who need both our helping hands. Doors open at 7pm, with the (approximately) two-hour show starting at 8pm. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase and tickets are just $35. This is one event you don’t want to miss, people, because Abacus is known for putting on a great show. Its gala dinner in August was a triumph. Wrap your laughing gear around a great cause this October and make a difference. Comedy for a Cause is on October 14 at Balcombe Grammar School Hall, 389 Nepean Highway, Mount Martha. Tickets available online at comedyforacause.net/ALC See you there.

Texture and colour take flight BY LIZ ROGERS
Painter Paul McIntyre has fallen in love with painting and gets a kick out of watching how the acrylic paint and multi-media falls on to the canvas. Takes its form. Moves with the eye. Texture is a big part of this Rosebud painter’s process. So too is colour, form and light. He’s right in the heart of it and this passion for creation glows from his finished pieces, which grow from a realtime sense of place and the space where the imagination lies. “I’ve been drawing since I could pick up a pencil. I did design and advertising at RMIT, but went on to do sculpture using wire and steel for 10 years after mucking around with a coat hanger one day at Mum’s. She’s an artist too. I only picked up the brush around five years ago and just got hooked,” explains this laid-back
father of three. “I guess it’s the process of understanding colour that thrills me. My next exhibition is a bit different in that it’s based on real places instead of a dreamed landscape inspired by nature and my kids.” You can see a lot of Paul McIntyre’s design and advertising roots in his paintings. But there’s also a fluid free-fall into a warm sensory world filled with story and unmistakable ties to family and location. Fall into Paul’s multi-layered visual vistas from September 8 at Manyung Gallery Mount Eliza – the perfect place to view art for art’s sake.

Northside Gallery is the new business venture of Flinders artists Ria Brenchley and Selina Mitchell, who have teamed up to offer for sale a collection of their paintings, prints, three-dimensional pieces and homewares. Located on the north side of Cook St in the heart of Flinders, Northside Gallery, along with its neighbours, offers visitors a wide range of art pieces, adding to the attraction for visitors to the town. “Flinders is a destination hub for artlovers, offering variety to suit different tastes, all within a beautiful environment,” said Ria. “Northside Gallery is a space where people have the opportunity to talk to us directly about our art, the emotion behind each work or what they may be looking for to place in their collection. The gallery can also organise the commission of a special piece.” Ria encourages visitors to “rug up and take advantage of winter” to enjoy the majestic coastal scenery and the many products and businesses on offer in the area before the crowds of the summer months.

PICKLED PIGFACE Eat it raw in a salad or as a garnish or try this recipe. Place water, vinegar, sugar, lemon zest pieces, whole cumin seeds and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Place the sliced endive and pigface in a bowl. Pour pickling liquid over the vegetables and set aside to cool. Once cooled, drain vegetables and remove zest pieces. BY YAZMINE LOMAX
Pigface’s plump, juicy leaves have a light, sweet, salty taste and add a unique flavour to meat dishes with a similar taste to strawberries or fresh figs. The name might not be pretty, but this unusual-looking native plant is about to become one of your favourite gourmet delicacies. Pigface is a creeping succulent that blooms bright pink, daisy-like flowers from October through to January. All parts of the plant are edible, with its thick, fleshy leaves often likened to the texture and flavour of a bitter grape, and it thrives on the sand dunes and coastal cliffs of eastern Australia. But the best part? We’re lucky enough to have plenty of this quirky beach herb sprouting around the Peninsula! While the plant can be eaten raw as a seaside snack, many restaurants have started to incorporate pigface in their dishes. Mount Martha chef Emma Scott picks her supply of pigface from Birdrock Beach and loves flavouring her creations with this Aussie gem (although certain species of the plant call South Africa home). SEPTEMBER 2017 (70)
It’s used as a garnish or it can be pickled,” Emma says of the plant’s leaves. “It’s mainly used on fish and other seafood because of its salty taste. The pink flowers are also edible and delicious.” Pigface is an incredibly versatile plant that can be boiled and eaten as a green, swapped for salt in meat dishes, and works well with mushrooms and eggs. If you really want to impress your friends at your next barbecue, pop a few into a salad for an exciting twist. Described by Emma as a “superfood”, the plant also has medicinal properties. The indigenous population of what is now Port Phillip Bay used it as a balm to lessen the pain of stings and burns, and it can also be mixed with water and used as a gargle for sore throats. So keep an eye out for pigface’s peculiar flower next time you take a stroll along our coastline. You might just stumble across the next big thing in the world of fine cuisine.

Wake up and scrub the coffee Coffee scrub burst onto the beauty scene some years ago. While it has gained traction, quite a few people are wary about spreading their morning coffee all over their body. Sarah from Olieve & Olie understands your hesitation, so bear with her while she explains just how amazing coffee scrub actually is. “A few years back I saw that coffee scrub was becoming very popular,” Sarah says. “At first I thought it was a bit of a gimmick, but after some research I quickly discovered that coffee has lots of
beneficial properties for your skin. The list is long, so here are just a few of the things coffee is known for: exfoliation, targets acne scarring, contains anti-cellulite agents, helps varicose veins, has antiinflammatory properties, improves circulation, soothes skin, reduces puffiness around your eyes and face, and temporarily reduces stretch marks. Basically, coffee scrub works in a similar way to a cup of coffee, but instead of awakening your mind, it awakens your body.” So, you may asking where you can get your hands on a coffee scrub. Well, the good news is that Olieve
& Olie has just launched a coffee scrub in two fragrances: chai and latte. Not only is Olieve & Olie a local company, it sources its coffee from Little Rebel, another Peninsula business. At $20 for a 200g pouch, Olieve & Olie Coffee Scrub will not break the bank. It’s available at most stockists and direct from Olieve & Olie headquarters or online.

FOOD WINE PRODUCE The Mornington Peninsula can now lay claim to its own beer, wine and cider festival.
Natural Spring Water
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 popup 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. Mornington Peninsula Brewery and Red Hill Brewery will also develop special brews exclusively for the festival.” Tickets for the Peninsula VineHop Festival are on sale and start at $38.

FOOD WINE PRODUCE DAINTON FAMILY BREWERY A: 560 Frankston-Dandenong Rd, Carrum Downs W: daintonbrewing.com.au
Carrum Downs is home to Australian-owned family business Dainton Family Brewery. Two passions keep this business flowing: beer and family. After being established in 2013, this brewery and tap house has become the local watering hole as it keeps its loyal patrons returning for fresh and often surprising brews. The family-centric team have only been making beer for a year, yet their Cherrywood Smoked Baltic Porter was named Champion Australian Craft Beer at the 2017 Australian Craft Beer Awards, where it also won the Champion Porter/ Stout. This beer was a surprising winner given its complex and unexpected flavour profile. The Daintons also received gold medals for their IPA, Choc Orange Porter and Cherrywood Porter, silver for their Draught and bronze for their Cranberry Gose. “We are humbled and excited by the win,” said founder and head brewer Dan Dainton. “The award was a huge surprise and we are really thrilled to think that we rate alongside our peers in the industry.” This brewery has come a long way since its gypsy brewing beginning. In fact, to SEPTEMBER 2017 (70)
put their win in perspective we’ll do a little maths for you: a total of 682 beers from 118 breweries were entered for judging in the awards. They did mighty well! As Dan said at the awards: “Everyone in this room, if you know me or have had anything to do with me, you deserve a little bit of this and the industry deserves a little bit of it – we’re all trying to make better beer; we’re all trying to make something amazing.” True to his spirit, Dan thanked his extended family, the Carrum Downs community. “We’re so excited to be part of the community, and we appreciate everyone who has got behind us either by supporting or visiting us. Thanks to those who have helped us integrate ourselves into the community area, and most importantly those who have tried our beer. “The fact that a beer that drinks like a chocolate cigar has won Australia’s best craft beer makes us believe we as a beerdrinking community are on the right track to drinking more exciting, flavoursome and independently made beer.” We don’t have our beer goggles on when we say it really does taste as good as it sounds. Go on, we hear a beer a day keeps the doctor away!

For something a little different this month, we will feature a couple of our favourite small cellar doors. You may not have heard of these but they are certainly worth checking out. At Wine Compass one the principles that we work by is that the experience at a winery is just as important (or more important, depending on the group) than the wine. There’s nothing like a fun and informative tasting to have you leaving with a smile and possibly a boot full of wine.
Merricks Creek This little gem is one of our favourite lesser-known tasting and lunch spots. It really is a family operation father Peter, who claims to be “obsessed with Pinot Noir”, and son Sam make their delicious Pinots, with Peter managing front of house, Sam on the floor and mum/ wife Georgina dishing up their lovely sharing plates. These are some seriously welcoming vibes. The meals are perfect for a casual lunch (think cheeses, pates, terrines) and the launch of their new menu has seen the addition of dishes like osso bucco, meatballs and molten chocolate pudding. But what is really bringing in the crowds is their new raclette machine, which is basically melted cheese served over potatoes and gherkins. It’s the only place on the Peninsula you can get it. Pair the meal with a Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. 44 Merricks Rd, Merricks
Old Apple Shed @ Tallarida Estate For years locals have driven past the sign for Tallarida Estate on Browns Rd in Boneo and wondered “What is behind the hedge?” The site hasn’t been open to the public for decades but local Kate and her partner Steve have revitalised the space with a new wine and cider label (by Mal Stewart) and cellar door. If you are after a relaxed and fun tasting, you have come to the right place. More like enjoying a glass of wine with an old friend than a lecture on wine, Kate’s tastings are fast growing a cult following. With a big range of wines from around the Peninsula and some of the fruit sourced from Tallarida Estate (including a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon), their wines aren’t trying to compete with the big boys in Red Hill but are reasonably priced and very drinkable. A real drawcard is some of the most amazing ciders you will ever taste. These ciders are so popular they had to buy a trolley to get all the purchases out to people’s cars. 148 Browns Rd, Boneo

undercover winery at Mt Eliza BY EMMA STEPHENS, MORNINGTON
I’ve driven past Underground Winemakers I don’t know how many times nor for how many years. I see the signs and think “Hmmm, good value, but what is the wine really like?” The day I finally stopped by the cellar door was on a whim. Something had changed. Enough was enough. The cellar door, although not big, has plenty of character. It’s hard to compare it to other cellar doors I’ve been to - it’s just unique. I could actually watch as the winemakers were working in the cellar. Immediately after tasting the first wine I knew I should have called in sooner. The quality of the wine for the understated price is ridiculous. I’m still kicking myself! This goes for the other Underground wines also, very reasonably priced and still great value for what you receive. The black and white label Pinot Noir is amazing. The person at the cellar door, who happened to be one of the owners, was very obliging and honest when it came to explaining the intricacies of the wines and of a wine business. I was guided thoughtfully through the range of about 15 wines from the sparkling, Pinot Grigio and Gris to the Pinot Noir and Heathcote Shiraz. I would call it more of an education
than a tasting. I thought the wines were very sensitive and respectful to traditional wine styles while offering a vibrant and fresh interpretation. Needless to say, having discovered Underground Winemakers, I am now a regular visitor. UNDERGROUND WINEMAKERS A: 1282 Nepean Highway, Mount Eliza T: 9775 4185 W: ugwine.com.au

What’s the best thing about being Head Chef at The Ranelagh Club? The view! The Ranelagh Club is positionperfect. Every day I get to look out over the sea and on to the horizon. The next best thing about working here is that I can be very creative. It’s exciting to constantly develop new dishes and to explore different flavours. Getting to know the local produce is a great bonus too – there is so much to choose from! Tell us a bit about your training. I’ve been lucky in that I was brought up in a family who loved to cook, eat and get together with friends, so there was a lot of time spent in the kitchen. I have both German and English heritage so I was exposed to very different flavours. I did my apprenticeship in the Navy and did a three-year post on the HMAS Arunta, which was fantastic. There were up to 150 crew members at a time and we made everything from scratch. It was a great training ground. No time for mucking about - it was a crash course! Do you have a favourite style of cooking and why? My dishes are influenced by my travels and the people I have met along the way. I’ve always gravitated towards the homestyle hearty dishes because that’s how I was brought up, and I love Italian and German flavours. I like to fill people up with tasty dishes that leave them warm and satisfied. I want them to feel like they are being looked after nutritionally and flavour-wise. Tell us what we can expect to see on The Ranelagh Club spring/summer menu. It’s going to be exciting because I get to change it whenever I want, which means our clients can enjoy a diverse and broad tasting. We’ve already had a Mexican night, which was very successful. The kids just love tacos and Dorito chicken. The Greek night was a hit too. I’m looking forward to broadening our dessert range by using local produce. I can’t wait to use the local berries! Then there’s banana spring rolls and chai latte crème brûlée. There will be more grazing dishes that can be enjoyed outside and lots of family friendly pizza and pasta. I’m looking forward to having an Asian flavourinspired night soon.
How do you keep reinventing the menu and how long have you been in the industry? I’ve been doing this for over 15 years and you learn a lot on the job by experimenting. It’s important to keep things new and fresh. There are so many different ingredients – why not explore and create? I’ll always keep the dishes that clients love on the menu. For example, the duck liver pate always goes down a treat. But we offer lunch, dinner, speciality nights and events plus we cater.
With all these options, the dishes you can create are endless. Sounds like a big job – what do you like to eat at the end of the day? We do up to 100 meals a day. It is a big job but I thrive on it. Most chefs have that drive. My assistant chef Con is a great help. I usually stick with something simple at the end of the day, like scrambled eggs. I love eggs. But you see I’ve been tasting and testing throughout the day. And in down time? I enjoy the beach and catch up with friends. And of course, cook! There’s never no cooking!

Alatonero opened opposite the foreshore and lighthouse in McCrae last winter. Jacqui and her team completely refitted the former McCrae Pavilion with the Mediterranean colors of Santorini and opened the doors on a venue that has earned a reputation for offering a true taste of the Greek Islands without the airfare!

A CHAT WITH MORNINGTON PENINSULA FOOD, WINE & DINING EXPERTS Todd Pegrum - The Craft & Co Farm, 170 Riverend Road Bangholme Mornington Peninsula Magazine speaks to Todd Pegrum, who has been the chef at The Craft & Co Farm for just over a year now and credits his training at William Angliss under the careful eye of a great chef, teacher and friend Freddy Bosshard. Please describe your menu selections at The Craft & Co Farm. What trends are you loving at the moment? I tweaked the menu a little to consider the demographic of the area. I grew up five minutes away and have been in the area for 42 years. Let’s just say I know what they like to eat. As far as trends go, I don’t follow them at all. My food is honest and hearty; I’m old school and just go with the flow. If I see any more chips served in mini fryer baskets I think I’ll cry. For those who aren’t familiar with your restaurant, give us some insight into what makes you different? The Craft & Co Farm is unique in that it is the only working winery in the local area, while incorporating a lot of paddock-to-plate dining. We have just recently purchased chickens for their eggs and have our own vegetable, herb and botanical garden. You can dine among our wine tanks and barrels or in our outdoor courtyard. The kids can run around and play on our huge open grassed areas while you sample our wines, craft beer and spirits in our cellar door - good

food, drinks, ambience and space. It’s also becoming more popular now for group functions and events, with one particular group recently requesting to dine among our vines, which is definitely something that sets us
apart. Even our sister site in Collingwood brews beer, distills gin, roasts coffee and makes sausages, salami and cheeses which we incorporate into our menu. Please tell us a little about your professional background? I’m not what you call a classically trained chef, but I had always cooked and even had my own catering company for a while. Then I put myself through school to finally become a chef and haven’t looked back. What is your style in the kitchen? My style is rustic … very rustic. We didn’t have much growing up but my mother showed me how to make a meal out of virtually anything. “Waste not, want not” was her saying. Big plates, big smiles and company to share it with. What’s your favourite ingredient to cook with in the cooler months? I am definitely a carnivore and could see myself chasing woolly mammoths in a previous life, so any kind of meat is what I like to cook during winter. My favorite would be pork. When not in the kitchen, what do you enjoy doing in your spare time? With what little spare time I get I try and watch my local footy team, Chelsea Heights FNC. I have been supporting them for over 42 years and I have been cooking for the boys for well over 20. Other than that, my family takes pride of place. They are young and don’t get to see their dad as much as they should. What do you love most about what you do? I have always loved food, always. My mum was a brilliant cook; she could cook for 20 with nothing but a grill and two hot plates, so I have a lot to thank her for. I cook at home every night and every Thursday in footy and cricket season. It’s the satisfaction of sharing a meal with friends and family, and we don’t do enough of it as far as I’m concerned. Life is short.
Any advice for aspiring chefs? Be prepared to work hard, and I mean hard. Head down, bum up, and listen. Keep your mouth closed and your ears open. Learn everything you can off everyone you work with. And taste everything you can, even the stuff you hate. Also travel far and wide - it will not only expand your cooking, it will open your mind.

New combination hard to beat With Honor Baxter at the helm, Hockingstuart is now clearly a great choice for Mount Martha residents when they are ready to sell their house. It’s a combination of one of the most experienced and respected agents in the area and a company that boasts a 50-strong office network and 31 years in the industry. “It’s great being a local agent and being an authority in the area, but sometimes you miss the exposure to the thousands of city buyers that are looking to buy in our community every week,” Honor says. “Now when you list your property with us, you not only get me, you also get your property showcased with a team of sales professionals and a fully integrated network.” At a time when there is unprecedented demand for quality Mount Martha homes with more than 70 per cent of buyers from out of the area looking to buy in the area, this combination is a magnificent team. If you are considering selling or simply interested in the value of your home in this market, ring Honor and the Hockingstuart team to discuss a suitable time to catch up on 0418 148 468.

Green thumbs and garden lovers will have the chance to explore a fascinating coastal garden at Balnarring Beach this month as part of Open Gardens Victoria. Over the past 19 years, Illyarrie owners Louise King and Brian Henderson have transformed an uninspiring quarter-acre block into a garden full of richness and year-round interest, and on Saturday, September 16, and Sunday, September 17, they will invite members of the public into their labour of love, which by then should be ablaze with colour. The sandy soil of this garden provides the perfect environment for difficult to grow West Australian species, including rare banksias and unusual grevilleas. The rear garden, overlooked by decks, is a true carpet of colour under a canopy in the natural, open woodland style admired by the owners. Many plants – from eucalypts to native orchids in beautiful pots - add a very different dimension, especially to the intimate front garden.
Illyarrie Open Garden 7 Library Rd, Balnarring Beach Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 September Open 10am - 4.30pm Adults $8 U18 free www.opengardensvictoria.com.au
The garden extends beyond the fences and boundary to a beautifully planted nature strip enjoyed by the Balnarring community. Through a gate in the back fence, visitors can wander through an extension to the garden, where three and a half years ago neighbours encouraged Louise and Brian to begin developing a garden on their land. This new garden is different to the low-profile style of Illyarrie and includes some remnant indigenous trees and larger eucalypts. Many banksias as well as thomasias, lasiopetalums and prostrate coastal banksias provide a seamless connection to the older garden. The spectacular Acacia leprosa ‘Scarlet Blaze’ is a lovely feature of the new garden and may well be in flower at the opening. Illyarrie was featured on the ABC’s Gardening Australia in November 2013, although the garden has of course been expanded since then. See abc.net.au/gardening/stories/ s3881958.htm

Five of the Peninsula’s most stunning gardens will be open to the public next month as part of 5 Gardeners’ Gardens Around Mount Eliza.
Run by The Anglican Parish of Mt Eliza every two years since 2009, 5 Gardeners’ Gardens has been sponsored by Mornington Peninsula Magazine since its inception, and this year James Crowder Community Real Estate is also a proud sponsor. Victoria is known as The Garden State, and the Peninsula has some wonderful treasures in this respect. The five on show around Mount Eliza have not been professionally designed but developed by passionate gardeners and include an organic revelation, a garden that has evolved over 25 years, and the stunning Morning Star Estate. The featured gardens will be open from 10am-4pm on Saturday and Sunday,
October 28-29. Tickets can be bought at any of the gardens for $30 (admission to all five) or $7 (entry to a single garden) and can be used all weekend. Schoolaged children are admitted free; no dogs allowed. When you buy your ticket you’ll also receive a handout detailing the development of the garden as well as the plantings. This promises to be a wonderful way to spend a spring weekend, so get out there and explore the creations of some of our keenest gardeners – and pick up some inspiration for your own at the same time. 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. Morning Star Estate, 1 Sunnyside Rd, Mount Eliza (Melway: 105 B8) With sweeping views, more than 800 varieties of roses and about 11ha of vineyards, this estate is a feast for the eyes. It boasts a number of formal and informal gardens, olive trees, an orchard as well as a vegetable garden used by the restaurant and a picking garden for restaurant flowers. 5 Amesbury Road, Mount Eliza (Melway: 101 K11) This is a rambling garden that has evolved over 25 years. It has different areas depending on the microclimate, including a dry garden, orchard, vegie garden, chickens and bees. As much as possible is recycled, reused, cooked, preserved or given away. In the words of the owners: “Our retreat.”
Willowie, 10 Watts Pde, Mount Eliza (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: 48 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.

Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month
With a few lovely days to break up the chill that was winter this year, our thoughts go back to the garden and where we can make improvements, fill gaps and prepare for our warm season crops. All it takes is a few glimpses of the spring sun and the garden starts telling us that it’s time - bursting buds on the stone fruit, herbs putting on new growth and our indigenous and native gardens beginning to shine again. Our fingers are twitching to sow our favourite summer crops and the garden beds are made, ready and waiting. Well, in an ideal world ... Although the calendar says it’s spring, there is still plenty of time to prepare for the growing season - if you get cracking. The winter weeds won’t take long to pull, the beds can be topped up and mulched and the irrigation checked. If you can get this done by mid-spring you’re laughing. If you feel like you’re late again, don’t panic. Just jot down the garden jobs you need to tackle and chip away at them over the next few weekends. You’ll be surprised how much you can achieve in a short amount of time. As well as preparing your beds for annual and perennial vegetables, cast your eye around the rest of the garden and try to visualise how you might enhance the landscape with more fruit trees, screening plants and/or local species. It’s a great time to replace those unwanted plants or rambling weeds with some fresh, vibrant plantings and to introduce some contrast and added interest in the garden. It’s quite amazing how a few subtle changes can lift an otherwise nondescript landscape. The onset of the warmth can also bring a new generation of pests and diseases, in particular if there is any sign of weakness or vulnerability in your gardens. Now’s
the time to prune back dead, dying and damaged plants and feed those that require added nutrition. And get that composted mulch on, thicker than last year, coz we all know how fast that layer of goodness disappears during the season. No need to feed the local species. You can also start sowing many of your summer vegetable staples now in pots or trays, ready to plant in six-eight weeks. If you’re super keen you may have already germinated your tomatoes, capsicums, eggplant and chillies, but the soil is going to take a while to warm, so as long as you’re ready for mid-October planting you’ll be fine. Anything you don’t propagate yourself is easy enough to find. You’ll also want to have cucumbers, beans, pumpkins (small ones if you are limited for space), melons and corn to pop in during next month. Salad greens, beetroot, celery, Asian vegetables, radishes and carrots could also be filling the gaps in the beds, providing daily picking while waiting for the main crops to mature. And don’t forget to replace the herbs that didn’t make it through the winter. You can never plant too much parsley, coriander and basil at this time of year because we use them in so many meals. Achieving the end goal of harvesting basketloads of fresh food from our gardens does take a bit of work, but if we make a thoughtful plan and enjoy doing a bit here and there, that goal is well within the reach of all of us.

Let’s do it! You know we can. I’ll tell you why. The other day I was walking on the beach. Wind surging. Waves chopping. Salt air swirling. Just a glint of sunshine. My kind of perfect. There was only one problem - the amount of plastic pumped out on to the sand beneath my feet from the severely cheesedoff ocean. Plastic in all its forms has made its way on to our beaches and is having its man-made way. Mornington Peninsula Magazine thought it was time to think about what we’re dropping into our bins (or not) and how little changes can mean a lot. Let’s talk about the dreaded plastic bag! We know most of them are made from non-renewable materials like polypropylene, which is manufactured from petroleum and natural gas. We also know that they don’t degrade, some of the chemicals in them can harm human hormone function, and marine life such as turtles and fish often mistake them for food - resulting in digestive system congestion and, in some cases, death by
BY LIZ ROGERS suffocation. What’s to love here? Even if we did end up recycling plastic bags they would still end up in landfill eventually because they don’t degrade. “The journey to plastic-free living is really a gradual set of simple changes,” says Pippa Buxton, sustainable expert and owner of Little Earth Nest. “Adopting a low-waste lifestyle starts with embracing the attitude that it’s worth trying to cut back on waste, and especially on plastics.”
Some easy ways to do this include stocking up on reusable produce bags and cling wrap, food storage pockets and ensuring shopping bags are either biodegradable or made from recycled materials. Reusing water bottles and cups for take-away tea or coffee works too! We’ve got to start somewhere. Plastic-free? It’s time. It’s worth it.
