New developments for lunch-less Lord Mayor

Home sweet home for soccer star A desire to create a new life for his family provided the impetus for soccer super star Eric Bautheac to move from France to Brisbane. The Brisbane Roar team was looking for an A-League marquee player for last season’s competition and the talented former French squad winger from Lille was ideal. “I had been playing professional soccer for 17 years in the French top division and although I had many other offers from clubs around the world, I knew that when I was offered a contract with Brisbane it was a special opportunity for me and my family,” says Eric. Indeed he was so excited Eric posted on Instagram “My wish was to play abroad, discover a new country, a new culture, and offer my children a crazy adventure”. “Moving to Australia was better than I could have imagined,” he says. “This is a most beautiful country and here in New Farm we have a wonderful family life where everything is close and the people are so welcoming and kind. “In general I think French people are not very warm or approachable and even in my football teams the players were selfish and did not socialise with each other. “Here in Brisbane it’s the very opposite where my team mates are helpful and giving and also friends off the field.” Eric watched the recent French and Australian World Cup match with both his French and Australian friends. “It was wonderful. “We all stood proudly together for our anthems and yelled when our team scored. “When Pogba landed the winning goal

for France I was relieved, of course,” he laughs, “I am French and love France winning but I was also excited about the great Australian performance.” Eric has another year on his contract with Brisbane and is optimistic about a winning year for the team after an injury plagued first season where the Roar made the play-offs but stopped short of the grand final. He jokes that “we have a younger, fitter team training hard now and I believe in their talent to improve on our position. “I am confident we will do well.” Whilst the Bautheac family are living the dream in New Farm there have been some challenges moving to a new country. “I struggle a bit with English and I miss my family and friends back in France; but I can’t believe how hospitable the locals are to me, my wife Ornella and our children Olio and Lino. “This is also the first time in our lives, Ornella and I have lived where we don’t need the car to go everywhere because here in New Farm we can walk to wherever we want to go. “This is just like belonging to a small warm-hearted village and I can’t believe we are so lucky.” Elio joined the local New Farm

While there is disagreement as to who first declared there was no such thing as a free lunch, it is a sentiment embraced by Lord Mayor Cr Quirk who as guest speaker at a Brisbane Development Association lunch, declined to eat the meal provided. This, his spokesperson said, was because of the uncertainty surrounding laws banning developers from making donations to political parties. Thus while those around him ate their meal, the LM sat lunch-less lest he be accused of accepting an illegal donation - a steak in this case - from a developer. He could of course have paid for the lunch as did council Opposition Leader Peter Cumming. Tickets to the event were $20, a financial impost the LM on his $250K plus salary could probably have borne. This, however, would have robbed

him of the virtue signaling inherent in refusing the meal. The message was clear - that Cr Quirk was at such pains to show he was removed from the influence of developers that he was prepared to go without lunch. It is to be hoped that it is so, for were it to be otherwise, it would be immoral and a betrayal of ratepayers’ trust. These same ratepayers, however, need more than gestures and ill-conceived media stunts to reassure them. Residents of Spring Hill, West End, Kangaroo Point and TeneriffeNewstead-New Farm have long felt that their concerns over the scope and suitability of some developments have been accorded little heed. The council last month announced that Cr Matthew Bourke would replace Cr Julian Simmonds as Chairman of the City Planning Committee. It is now to be seen whether under Cr Bouke’s chairmanship, the administration will continue to treat neighborhood plans as mere public relations exercises, forcing residents to take ruinously expensive court action to have their voices heard, or give them some legitimacy and worth.

Father Nacho calls Australia home BY ALEX TREACY Holy Spirit New Farm’s parish priest, Father Ignacio Rodriguez (pictured), blessed a suite of upgrades to adjoining Holy Spirit School on June 6, while also revealing something new about the priest himself. ‘Father Nacho’, as he is affectionately known to the catholic primary school’s young students, had become an Australian citizen a day prior at a ceremony at Brisbane City Hall. “Australia is such a beautiful country in many ways,” Fr Rodriguez enthuses. “You feel the peace living in this country and a sense of welcoming among those who are already living here – it’s a very multicultural society.” Fr Rodriguez (pictured), who has been Holy Spirit’s parish priest for

four years, living in the presbytery, was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, where most of his family still reside. He has been posted to Indonesia, the Philippines and the United States of America, but surely the animated priest has never found students as enthusiastic as those at Holy Spirit School, who are all in agreeance that Mexico is “very far away” but not exactly sure where. Fr Rodriguez delivered an energetic homily and could later be seen singing his new national anthem with vim, following the words intently as they were projected onto the big-screen. Holy Spirit School’s $1.9 million facelift includes a new building with

new classrooms, amenities and a staffroom, a library refurbishment, a second playground with digging pit, terraced steps near the oval, wheelchair accessibility, and a new courtyard area with levelled ground. The refurbishments were guided by a Student Voice, Year 6 leaders who collaborated with stakeholders including parents and other students to produce the final design. Principal Kim Davis says the upgrades will modernise Holy Spirit School in line with 21st-century learning practices and will help cater for growing enrolments resulting from population growth and the high standard of teaching.

LAURA CHURCHILL

Stylist Allison Cullen lives by the mantra that everything you put on sends a message. If Allison (pictured) has anything to do with that message, it’s a message of everyday happiness. “If people have got a block in their lives or if they’re unhappy, I can get them feeling better about themselves and exploring different aspects of themselves just through the way they dress,” she says. “I want people not to take themselves too seriously and really to help them feel better about themselves.” Style, more than fashion, has been a long-held obsession for Allison and something she grew up with. “I’ve had an interest in fashion and styling since I was 10 years old,” she says. “My mother had a store and we call her Grandma Barbie, she always has an outfit for every occasion. “For me, I dress to the style of post punk music I’m into. “That gives me a lot of inspiration.” A career in employment and training saw Allison on a professional path she didn’t see herself breaking, until she had her second baby and took a maternity break.

“Having my daughter Lulu a couple of years ago and taking two years off with her gave me the opportunity to think about what I’d like to do for the rest of my life,” says Allison. Allison enrolled in a styling course through the Australian Institute of Creative Design (AICD) where she now teaches. “Working at AICD is great, it gives me the best of both worlds between my old career and new. “We do everything (in the course) from working with clients to photo shoots and from here they can break out into their various opportunities.” Aside from training the next generation of stylists, it’s Allison’s mission to make personal styling accessible. “I think a lot of people still think it’s too extravagant but I’d say it’s for everyone and it’s definitely worthwhile spending that little bit with a personal stylist twice a year rather than wasting money on clothes you’ll never wear. “Every second person has a personal trainer and it’s really an extension of that. “Personal stylists go hand in hand with looking after yourself.” Visit www.allisoncullen.style

Residents to fight Shore development

Residents of Skyring Apartments and the twin Unison at Waterfront towers have raised funds to fight Mirvac’s proposed Shore development on Skyring Terrace at Newstead in the Planning and Environment Court. The development application approved by the Brisbane City Council gave the go ahead for two towers of 22 and 26 storeys comprising a total of 333 apartments together with 364 residents’ car parking spaces. Under the Newstead Riverpark Masterplan originally drawn up for the Gasworks precinct the site, which adjoins Skyring Apartments, was to

accommodate a single tower of 20 storeys. Under the subsequent Neighbourhood Plan, Mirvac was able to build 231 units over a gross floor area of 21,321sqm. The Mirvac application approved by the council is for a gross floor area of 30,295sqm. Local residents have voiced concerns at the overall mass of the project, its lack of setback, its proposed proximity to adjacent buildings, potential to create a canyon-like effect in Festival Place and its effect on the overall amenity of the precinct.

Vale Gary Balkin

Gary loved New Farm, having lived here and where his first teaching appointment in 1960 was at New Farm State School. For over nine years he wrote the very popular Village People column in My Village News. Prior to his passing he was finalizing his memoirs. The below is an edited version of the eulogy presented by lifelong friend Bob King.

I’d like to start with some simple words that my dear mother said to me in early 1955, after I had introduced her to a new friend of mine, Gary Balkin, who came from the small country towns of Gunalda and Gympie.

“Bob, why don’t you be more like Gary? “He behaves so well, such a nice young man,” she said. Gary’s parents, Jim and Jean Balkin, were wonderful, genuine people, of Irish descent - hardworking and honest - and taught these values to their five children Ray, Pat, Gary, Carmel and Catherine. A more likeable family you could not find. During 1956, Gary, or GB as we all affectionately knew him, and I attended the Teachers Training College at Kelvin Grove. Gary was a very good footballer - he captained the college B team, earned a College Blue and went on to be a leading player in Brisbane Rugby League. While Gary’s achievements in the business world were many and varied, his biggest source of pride and joy were his children Jane and Jonothan. While Gary loved his early years as a teacher he went on to become one of the best-known business figures in Brisbane. Among other ventures, Gary was very successfully involved in the Melbourne Hotel, Bonaparte’s Hotel, and the Pier 9 seafood restaurant. He was a co-founder of the Brisbane Broncos, and established

the wonderful Kookaburra Queen Paddlewheelers on the Brisbane River. In 1991 he was awarded Queensland Restaurateur of the Year. He co-founded touch football in Queensland, and his continuing links to primary school football in Australia is evident in the 40-year tenure of the Gary Balkin Cup for 12-year-old players. Gary also loved to write, contributing to local newspapers for many years. On his retirement he went back to university to achieve his Master of Letters degree so he could consolidate his writing skills. GB remained involved with the Burleigh Heads surf lifesaving club, which he and I joined in 1958, just after graduating, and where he rose to the position of Patron. A memory from those surf club days, which always made GB and I laugh, was when we were on beach patrol one day. A large shark came around the rocks and into the swimming area. The beach was closed and Gary and I decided to grab the two-man surf ski and paddle out to chase the shark out of the patrolled area. When we were getting close to the shark,one of us accidentally capsized the surf ski.

We of course immediately endeavoured to get back on the ski again, only to capsize it again and AGAIN. By this time, the shark must have been seeing the humour in all of this and was last seen heading out to sea with a large smile on its face. We subsequently paddled back to shore to a great reception from all the girls sunbaking on the beach. GB, old mate, thanks for all the memories. We’ll miss you, you certainly won’t be forgotten.

Thanks Gary On a personal note I want to publicly thank Gary Balkin for the great stories he wrote for My Village News each month for just over nine years. I first met Gary when he was having coffee at Merthyr Village, and as I was aware he was writing for another local paper, I thought why not ask. His contribution to Brisbane was outstanding and his contact book was impressive, especially some interesting locals. They were great stories and a credit to Gary and the village people he wrote about. Gary will always be an inspiration.

Home sweet home for soccer star United soccer club, playing in the Under 8 Warriors team after a chance meeting between Eric and team manager Linden Brionie at the New Farm Park playground. “As you do at the local park, we got talking whilst the kids were playing and I had no idea that Eric was a famous footballer when he inquired about soccer clubs in the area for his little son,” says Linden. “I suggested Warriors and only later did we discover Eric was an international star.” Because of heavy training commitments to the Roar, Eric leaves the Warriors coaching duties to coach Carmelo Pirrone, but on weekends he is always cheering on the sideline and ready with any tips for the young boys. “I have never had this family time to enjoy when I was playing in Europe and it is one of the gifts of being here in Brisbane,” he says. “I can train hard then on weekends with all the other parents, I watch my son Elio play. “This is very special.”

The dream for Frank’s dock BY ALEX TREACY Two Kangaroo Point neighbours, separated by the Frank Nicklin Dock, are building a metaphorical bridge over water to meet in the middle and revitalise the silted dock. The neighbours are forging ahead with a plan they hope will woo Brisbane City Council. Dockside Apartment Hotel’s body corporate chairman Ian Roebuck says making the dock navigable for use by private craft during the daytime would be a catalyst for growth in Kangaroo Point. “All boaties are looking for a destination and we can provide a destination,” he said. “You might have parents who live in the area and you’ve got a little 16-footer, so go and see mum and dad, tie up here for the day.” Joe Ippolito, St Helena Apartments’ body corporate chairman, says the Frank Nicklin Dock is an integral part

JOINING FORCES: Dockside Apartment Hotel’s Ian Roebuck and St Helena Apartments’ Joe Ippolito want to create a public amenity to get locals excited about Kangaroo Point.

and focal point of the Dockside area. “The number of joggers and visitors (we get), this is what they see and at the moment they’re seeing mud.” Dockside Apartment Hotel and St Helena Apartments have cleared the dock’s marina berths at a cost of $88,000 and now plan on clearing the 3m of accumulated mud by ploughing a 13m-wide channel through the middle. This will be done yearly, allowing water to flow through to the end and preventing silt from settling. The final part of the plan involves the installation in the dock of a pontoon modelled on the one at Newstead Park.

Mr Roebuck has met with senior Brisbane City Council representatives to indicate his strong wish that Council take a head lease on the dock in perpetuity once work is complete, with a view to linking it into their River’s Edge Strategy. The Kangaroo Point Peninsula Draft Renewal Strategy says “revitalisation of the Frank Nicklin Dock has the potential to deliver improved public access including access for water taxis and recreational craft such as yachts, small boats and jet skis”. Above all, Mr Roebuck and Mr Ippolito say, they want to create a public amenity for locals to enjoy and foster a sense of community pride.

Designs on perfect garden Residents of Brisbane are flocking to design their perfect garden and French Tropical Landscaping is leading the way, with over 20 years of landscaping experience and a unique horticultural expertise. Thierry Le Pers, founder and director of French Tropical Landscaping, has a passion for designing elegant, low-maintenance gardens for Brisbane properties. “A low-maintenance garden doesn’t have to be boring with lots of cement and gravel,” Thierry (pictured) assures. Thierry is a qualified horticulturalist and educator who describes himself as a plant tragic who is lucky enough to spend every day “playing in the dirt”. “The key thing about making a lowmaintenance, lasting garden is to put the right plants in the right place,” he said, “which means considering soil quality, light aspect, watering needs, and susceptibility to pests and diseases. “This is the benefit of consulting with a horticulturalist when planning your garden.” French Tropical Landscaping has designed some iconic local gardens, including The Triffid’s beer garden

and some hidden gems on inner city rooftops. You can catch Thierry and the team at Le Festival, the Brisbane French Festival, on July 6-8 at Southbank. Call on 0414 537 377 or visit www.frenchtropicallandscaping.com.au

Giraffe manor gets new tenant Passers-by of iconic Teneriffe property Giraffe Manor will have noticed last month the introduction of a new striped tenant in the wire garden out the front. A baby zebra has joined the mother and baby giraffes at 37 Macquarie St - the result of an ingenious plan to save the small plants in the garden from being trodden on. “There’s heaps of kids who lean in the fence trying to pet the baby giraffe,” the lady of Giraffe Manor, an avid gardener and animal lover, said. “They kept stepping on some of my plants, so I thought I’d get another baby to mix it up, something else they can pet right there on the wire.” “It’s to add to the fun, but also you have to change something when it’s not working.” When put to her that there is room in the garden for the menagerie to continue growing, the lady of Giraffe Manor laughs coyly. “We’ll see, watch this space - there may be some plans.”

Valley firm wins Queensland architecture awards BY THOMAS MORGAN Fortitude Valley architecture firm Cavill Architects has won two major categories at this year’s Queensland Architecture Awards, for Commercial Architecture and Residential Alterations. Lead architect Sandy Cavill said the firm was pleased with having picked up the Beatrice Hutton Award for commercial architecture for The Stores, as well as the Elina Mottram Award for Residential Architecture alterations for their work on Gibbon Street in New Farm. “It was a bit of a thrill for us, especially to win the commercial

Images Supplied. All feature Gibbon St.

category award, because the other entries were pretty big projects,” Mr Cavill said. Mr Cavill said the Gibbon Street house sought to reflect the local character of New Farm, and Cavill Architects worked to incorporate the leafy suburb’s backyards into the design. “The house sits in a row of original workers’ cottages, and the backyards of these houses have been preserved,” he said. “The brief required we build over the backyard, so we kept the building

to one storey with a concrete shell and put a garden on the roof.” “We hope the building will be grown over by green.” Mr Cavill said that despite the two awards, Cavill Architects was not slowing down, with some projects currently underway on the Gold Coast, in rural areas, and in Newstead. “We have an office building under construction at Newstead, 17 Byres Street, which as far as office buildings go is quite interesting, since it incorporates the landscape into the building.”

New Farm author lays down the law BY JULIAN LEHNERT In the wake of #MeToo and the scandal around ex-Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, scores of sexual assault survivors around the world are coming forward with their own stories in the hopes of bringing those responsible to justice. In her newly-launched literary debut Eggshell Skull, former judges’ associate and author Bri Lee (pictured) describes her very own journey through the legal system in pursuit of retribution. Eggshell Skull was published in late May to universal acclaim and was followed by an Australia-wide tour. With the last leg of her tour in her native Brisbane on June 6, Ms Lee reflects on her time on the road as well as the themes of her book.

“My tour was really wonderful because so much was happening; I had really incredible women in every city launching my book,” the New Farm author said, having been joined by influential writers and activists such as Clementine Ford in Melbourne and Fiona Wright in Sydney. “Every single night, people came to me with the most insightful, articulate questions – people cared so much, and it was a wonderful opportunity for me to hear what the readers want to know about and what they care about. “I just found out that they’re already doing a second print run of the book – I’ve been absolutely overwhelmed with the response.” Of Eggshell Skull, Ms Lee said the book was about her journey through law. “It’s an attempt to give a comprehensive study and insight into the current state of the legal system and how, in particular, it fails women and children. “This book doesn’t dance around anything, it’s not for the faint-hearted. “Not even so much about my case, but of all of the trials and sentences I sat in, all of those peoples’ stories that illustrate so many different points about the system failing. “It’s heartbreaking.” During her time on both sides of the law, Ms Lee has observed many frustrating

shortcomings in the legal system. “In Queensland, if a defendant voluntarily gets intoxicated, that will help him prove that he had an honest belief that the complainant consented, even if her evidence is that she did not. “In any other criminal matters, we do not allow that. “The system wasn’t built for women. “In all areas of our law, we have inherited a flawed system, which has infinite capacity for improvement. “The legal system has caught up in many areas, but in sexual assault law it just hasn’t.” Ms Lee is currently working with

law professionals at Bond University on updates to the legal code relating to consent and sexual assault matters. Through the success of Eggshell Skull, Ms Lee has also been invited to be part of panels across Australia, including a talk on consent at this year’s Splendour in the Grass festival. In the meantime, she is working on her second book, a collection of personal essays. “I want it to be an investigation into the current state of self-esteem in Australia; about why we do or do not feel good about ourselves and why we think or do not think we are worth something.”

COMMUNITY HEALTH

Doctor visits after hours HOUSE CALL DOCTORS PROVIDING AFTER HOURS MEDICAL SERVICES

No one plans to get sick or injured, but when you do, chances are it will happen on the weekend or after your GP’s normal opening hours - and that’s when a call to an after hours house call doctor can be the answer. We are all prone to health issues from time to time whether they are seasonal flu related conditions, infant illnesses or age-associated health problems. There are also many of us with parents who are in their later years and who may not be able to easily tend to themselves when ill or drive at night to seek medical treatment. So, what can you do if your condition is not life threatening, but you feel you can’t wait until your GP clinic opens? You can call an after hours house call doctor service (Approved Medical Deputising Service) who have doctors ready to visit you in your own home. This is a Government Approved After Hours Bulk Billed service that is especially helpful for mothers with young children, the over 50s, as well as those with retired parents, those who are travelling, and even those of us with elderly friends, parents, and relatives who may not live nearby.

In the past, a hospital visit was about the only practical answer if you or your loved one became sick overnight, over the weekend or on a public holiday. That saw Emergency Departments crammed with people whose condition may not be life threatening, adding pressure to the hospital and medical staff often resulting in long waits for those seeking medical assistance. An after hours house call doctor service can provide optimal support, deliver comfort, and provide medication and scripts at times when we feel particularly vulnerable and in need of urgent care. Queensland owned and operated House Call Doctor’s Chief Operating Officer, Craig Glover, stated that they are focused on delivering the best after hours house call doctor service to patients in their homes, and being Queensland’s largest provider they have made more than 600,000 house visits since they started in 2015.

Some of the many benefits of the house call doctor services include receiving medical care on weeknights, weekends, and public holidays; being able to have a doctor at your house, hotel room, or retirement village and being able to arrange appointments for loved ones who are living away from you. House call doctor services are 100 per cent bulk billed for people with Medicare or Department of Veteran Affairs cards. These services are not designed or offered as an alternative to patients regular GP services rather an assurance to give continuity of care to people who fall ill outside of their GP’s regular hours of business. The house call doctor services work closely with the patients regular GP sending a detailed email report the next working day to the GP explaining what course of action was taken and any medication given or prescribed. There’s no doubt this after hours medical services option can provide peace of mind for most people, not just those succeptible to health problems but also those who want a practical alternative when unforeseen health issues occur. It can make all the difference, relieving the pressure of the situation. LifeStyle | June 2018

Helping hands in the neighbourhood BY ANNEMARIE WHITE New Farm philanthropic friends Clare Nourse and Kris Webb (pictured) are each making a big difference in their neighbourhood both locally in New Farm and internationally with Australia’s neighbour Timor. Clare was born in Malawi, educated in Ireland and moved to Australia where she now works as a Paediatric Specialist at Lady Cilento Hospital. “I love what I do but I have always wanted to pursue a career in international health so when an opportunity came through St Joseph’s Gregory Terrace Timor Network to assist, I very quickly became immersed in improving the health of the children in Timor,” Clare says. “Timor is desperately impoverished and has one of the lowest standards of health in the world with over 50 per cent of children malnourished with stunted growth. “I knew I had to help.” Instead of creating a new health system, many other like-minded medical professionals including Clare, who is the head of the Medical Advisory Committee, have bonded together to form Maluk Timor, which focuses on local capacity building, training and support to provide a sustainable pathway to address the critical health issues. “Our main work is encouraging volunteer doctors to work with the Timorese medical practitioners to improve the delivery of local medical care,” she says. “I visit Timor a few times a year but work with Maluk every week determining what programs can improve the health of Timor’s children.” Kris and her husband, both lawyers, have always had a social conscience so while living in the Middle East they decided to find a tangible project to which they could donate. “We set up a small entity called Spend it Well which initially had no real focus,” she says. “Then a friend introduced me to Kirsty Sword Gusmão, an AustralianEast Timorese activist married to Prime Minister Gusmão who told me about the desperate need to build schools throughout the country.” Timor had been ravaged during the Indonesian occupation and after their

Independence in 1999 Kris realised that although an education system was still in place, teaching was mostly conducted on war torn open spaces. “I saw for myself the urgent need to design and build safe schools that would encourage these children to keep learning. “Our charity now had direction. “By employing local craftsmen and women we could also up-skill the local tradespeople. “Once built,” says Kris, “we hand the schools over to the Timor Education Department.” In 2008 their first school was opened and Kris has built six more with their current three-room school in a rural area near the town of Balibo being opened in the coming months. Whilst Clare and Kris are very humble about their humanitarian contributions, both concede they are privileged and lucky to be able make a difference and that their philanthropic work gives them a deep sense of delight. Clare emphasises how fortunate in life she is and says “I feel an obligation to share my luck and reach out to those in need”. “I often find it difficult understanding the difference between our amazing Australian medical research and the poverty with children dying and malnourished, and only a little over an hour’s air travel away.” Kris adds “Building a school and knowing that kids in one of the poorest countries of the world will have a chance at a better life through education brings me such joy.” However their generosity of spirit isn’t only directed to Timor. Both Kris and Clare are Patrons of New Farm and whole heartedly support the Neighbourhood Centre where Kris spends Thursdays cooking up a storm in the kitchen. “It is wonderful to be able to provide a bridge between all people in our local community. “I love that everyone feels welcome at the outdoor coffee cart and that a large number of community activities are accessible for all,” adds Kris. j u ly 18 | M Y V I L L A G E N E W S

Finding family far from home V I L L AG E

vi e w

BETH LEACH Kit and Harvey are studying immigration at their respective schools and we’ve had many conversations recently about identity. Harv has been reading Boy Overboard by Morris Gleitzman, which follows the story of a family who came by boat to Australia. It’s been the catalyst for some heartfelt and profound observations from our children and provides yet another example of life’s lottery, how fortunate we are to live where we live and at the time we live. How much of our identity is taken from the knowledge of where we come from and our cultural heritage? The answer will be different for each individual. Personally, I’m intrigued by my ethnicity. I’m heading to my ancestral homeland of England with my family these holidays and this trip, because it may be the only one we take to Europe with our children, I decided to

hire a Westminster historian for a day to walk our ancestor’s footsteps. I knew we owned bell and brass foundries and cast the Big Ben so have organised a walking tour to visit the foundries, or sites where they once were, and sup at places where they would have frequented. Last Sunday afternoon I decided to dig a little deeper on ancestry.com and typed in my hand-written family tree to 1640 (which is a long tree to begin with) and was hoping to find the parents of my tenth great grandparents. Well, it turned into a frantic game of genealogical snap! As I only had that afternoon I often relied on just one reference source, matched and continued. Multiple lines of the tree went to 1340 and I discovered up to my eighteenth great grand-parents! What I uncovered has forced me to now hire a professional genealogist to verify my rushed findings as I’m feeling like a total imposter and maybe I am. My husband now calls me “Duchess” (which was funny the first time), and the Tower Of London is now a must see… I’ll tell you why another day.

Lost limbs draw ire BY ALEX TREACY An old resident has been wounded in New Farm and Brisbane City Council are searching for answers. The camphor laurel tree on the corner of Merthyr Rd and Gray St has had several branches sawn off without permission, a serious offence under Council’s Natural Assets Local Law 2003 (NALL). A large sign wrapped around the tree’s trunk states, “This Brisbane City Council Tree was Vandalised”.

A spokesperson for Council’s Central Ward office condemned the illegal pruning of the tree. “Brisbane is a clean, green and sustainable city and it is absolutely abhorrent that anyone would choose to vandalise one of our precious trees.” A spokesperson for River Quays Apartments, which neighbours the camphor laurel tree, says they requested Council prune the tree as its limbs were allowing possums to access residents’ balconies, but hadn’t received a response. They say they have no knowledge of who vandalised the tree. Anyone with information is urged to contact Council on 3403 8888. Personal details will be kept confidential.

COUNCIL CONNECTIONS NEW LOOK FOR NEW FARM LIBRARY

Bump into Henry soon BY ALEX TREACY Henry Macphillamy, who late last year won a Rotary Club of New Farm Pride of Workmanship award, often bumps into people at bus stops. Figuratively that is, as he has become a familiar face in the 18 months he has been a New Farm local. Literally though, because his guide dog Quade has just retired but Mr Macphillamy (pictured) still needs to go to work in the CBD, where he is undertaking a graduate program at Suncorp in their in-house legal teams. “I’ll run into someone who doesn’t even know my name but has seen me around and will come up and introduce themselves and help me across the road or have a chat,” he says of his usual routine. Mr Macphillamy, blind since birth, says New Farm’s supportive community enables him to lead an active lifestyle. “The perfect example is Parkrun,” he says over a post-work beer at his apartment. “Every week on Saturday, I meet an incredibly generous group of people in New Farm Park and someone offers to guide me, which embodies the kind of spirit that I think a lot of communities would do anything to have.” Mr Macphillamy’s mantlepiece must surely be sagging after the addition of a Pride of Workmanship award. A gifted sportsman, he represented Australia at the 2009 World Rowing Championships, and has competed in skiing, powerlifting and swimming.

During his Juris Doctor (post-grad law degree) at the University of Melbourne, he travelled to Geneva with a university group to visit the United Nations and World Health Organisation and would become involved in disability advocacy. “From my perspective, it’s just living life,” Mr Macphillamy reflects. “The fact that I’ve been completely blind all my life means that what might otherwise be seen as unusual or something that’s out of the ordinary is completely normal to me.” Even climbing Mt Kilimanjaro? “I wanted to do something in his memory,” Mr Macphillamy says of his first guide dog Billy, who passed away prematurely. So, armed with a pair of trek poles which he used as a pair of “extra feet”, he climbed the nearly 6000m mountain with a Guide Dogs NSW group. Alternating guides would lead Mr Macphillamy, all of them soon discovering that sometimes the best way to lead is to follow. “They walked in front at first until they got sick of being hit by poles, so they walked behind,” he laughs. “If you asked my guide how sharp that spike was, the amount of times I’ve poked this poor guy in the foot.”

Henry will be running the Bridge to Brisbane raising money for Guide Dogs Queensland. To donate visit: b2b2018. everydayhero.com/au/ team-suncorp -graduates

TENERIFFE FESTIVAL

Teneriffe Festival 2018. July 7, 10am-9pm. Tickets $5 can be pre -purchased at brisbanetickets.com. au/event/teneriffe festival-2018 -7175. CHAIRMAN: Mic Uebergang

CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME For those who live there, Teneriffe is the best suburb in Brisbane, but on July 7 it will become everyone else’s favourite suburb too, when the eclectic Teneriffe Festival transforms the riverfront streets. This year’s ninth annual event will feature old favourites and new friends. The Good Living Stage, located out the front of the London Woolstores, will feature a rotating roster of local businesses New Farm Chiropractic Clinic, Dello Mano brownies, Peter Augustus Craft Butcher and My Food Religion. Show titles include, New Farm’s Own Chocolate Tale, Winter Wellness Cooking Workshop and The Flank Story, East Meets West, are just a small selection of an appetiteinducing schedule. The festival’s three entrances include Macquarie St (near Chermside

St), Florence St (behind the London Woolstores) and the corner of Vernon Tce and Commercial Rd. Street closures on the day will include Vernon Tce, Ethel St, Dath St, most of Florence St and part of Macquarie St. New festival chairperson Mic Uebergang, publican of the Dalgety Public House, and his board have worked hard on the Festival’s footprint this year, activating as many areas as possible and creating new precincts to explore. This can be seen in the new Kids Zone on Florence St, or the Historical Society’s takeover of Ethel St. Pop-up bars from Havana, Dalgety Public House and Green Beacon Brewing Co will be dotted throughout the Festival to wet attendees’ whistles. Alcohol is not permitted to be brought from outside the Festival.

We bring this festival in support of our local community and visitors alike. One of the great initiatives you will see this year is the extra area for “KIDS OF FLORENCE” up on Florence St. This is a dedicated space for kids with piglet racing, kids event stage, clowns, singing, face painting, icaniwill segment, sheep shearing etc. We chose Florence Street for easy access for families. Also we have dedicated Ethel street as HISTORY LANE with the Andrews Sisters stage, vintage vehicles and the Merthyr Picture Palace Show. The 13 CABS RIVER STAGE with our major sponsor GREEN BEACON will have some exciting new talent performing. MERTHYR VILLAGE GOOD LIVING STAGE returns to Vernon Terrace where our local businesses will perform demonstrations throughout the day.

Entry to the Festival is $5 per adult (children under 12 free). To avoid queues at entry we urge everyone to pay online. You cannot have a great event like this without some hard working locals and I would like to thank my board members, Ross Garnett, Anita Jakins, Michael Wilkins, Matt Trewhella and Cr Vicki Howard and the continued excellent work of event managers Murray Sutherland and Brent Harcombe of Kinetic Events. The Brisbane City Council is a huge supporter and continued partner for which we are very grateful. As you move around the festival, you will see the local businesses that make this festival possible with their sponsorship. See you on the day for Wool, Wharfs, and Woolstores.

K I D S ZONE The 2018 Teneriffe Festival will be all about fun for the little ones as Festival organisers set aside Florence Street (behind the London Woolstores) for kids to enjoy. There will be a full program of activities and performers from 10am-5pm, meaning even the most sugar-loaded of children are sure to be tuckered out by what’s on offer. The dedicated Kids’ Stage will see its first act at 10:30am, when Tim Jackman, the ‘King of the Kids’ will perform his first set of nursery rhymes, sure to warm up the vocal chords of the Festival’s tiniest attendees. They’ll need them for when the first piglet race kicks off in the Kids Zone at 11am, as piglets always perform better when cheered on by an audience. Brent Harcombe, Teneriffe Festival’s event manager says the amount of food and market stalls locked in for the Kids Zone will make kids feel like they’re invisible in a candy store. They include face-painting, superhero outfits and merchandise,

HISTORY LANE Very few residents would know the bus stop at Teneriffe Ferry was once an air-raid shelter, an example of how much of the suburb’s history has been swept away by progress. Teneriffe Festival will promote the long and rich history of the area by dedicating Ethel Street as the official historical section. Local history buff Ross Garnett said it was a good chance to get caught up on some of the surprising facts about the area. “Teneriffe is an old and new suburb, in terms of pre-1975 and post-2010 urban renewal, so that’s one thing we want to highlight,” Mr Garnett said. “Now that it has been renovated, a lot of people don’t know what’s gone on there. Mr Garnett said there would be a number of attractions, including a historic bus tour with volunteer guides. “We will have historic artwork and photographs, and an antique model railway capturing the old goods line servicing the local wool stores,” he said.

Mr Garnett said the submariner aspect of Teneriffe’s history would be acknowledged as well. “We have got some restored US army vehicles including restored bikes and army jeeps, to recapture the historic feel,” he said. Meanwhile, Ben Pritchard, President of the Teneriffe Progress Association, will conduct tours around one of the oldest surviving wool stores allowing locals a glimpse into the past. “This is a chance to see inside the wool stores and understand their history, as well as hear some of the stories of the people who helped build and operate the stores,” he said. Tours at 11am and 2pm will take residents into the Winchcombe Carson wool store. Mr Pritchard said the Teneriffe Progress Association would also host a stall at the festival as part of the organisation’s commitment to celebrating the local area and its history.

RIVER STAGE It just would not be the Teneriffe Festival without good entertainment. The annual event of merrymaking in and around the suburb’s historic laneways is once again packed with musical acts from a variety of backgrounds and genres. The Festival’s program has owed much of its impressive line-up to booking, marketing and management company Footstomp Music and its director Graham Ashton. His personal favourite must-see acts for this year’s Festival include Perth-based indie/alternative singer

Georgia Reed and former The Voice Australia-contestant Colin Lillie, who will bring his blues and folk tunes to the stage. “Footstomp Music have been lucky enough to curate the music at the Teneriffe Festival since 2015,” Mr Ashton said. Other notable acts include Brisbane rockers KB Theory, indie outfit Eliza & The Delusionals and The Settlement, hailing from Victoria. “The line-up for 2018 feels like a perfect fit for the vibe of the event,” Mr Ashton said.

Celebrating Helen Street The Green Beacon Brewing Co masters will once again allow punters to imbibe the very essence of Teneriffe Festival 2018, brewing a beer that celebrates both place and taste. The Helen Street Haze, the third beer Green Beacon has released especially for the festival, is to be

a hazy, non-filtered, easy-drinking tropical pale ale, according to business development manager Ryan Goody. “We’re on Helen St here in Teneriffe and we haven’t had anything named after the street,” Mr Goody says. On the day, Green Beacon will shut down Helen St for their block party.

Personalising the learning journey Twice a week at St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School in Ascot you will see small clusters of girls – no more than ten – deep in conversation with teachers. The students from Years 9-12 are in Academic Advising sessions. Replacing the traditional form class structure, academic advising facilitates a more purposeful and personalised approach to each student’s learning. Principal Ros Curtis says the key to its success is about using data to provide feedback about students’ progress to drive their learning. “Most critically,” said Ms Curtis, “the power of feedback lies in how effectively it is given and used. “Not only must students be given sufficient time to monitor and reflect on feedback, they must be assisted to effectively implement the feedback so it can lead to enhanced learning and improved results.” The second crucial element to useful feedback is the timeliness of the data being fed into the loop, aided

Raising money by racing to the roof

by the implementation of continuous reporting across Years 5-12 this year. Dean of Studies Nicole Devlin said through a student portal, students view and reflect on their results and feedback, including where they sit comparatively in the cohort, their GPA, and teacher comments. “They use this data to identify steps to improvement, set meaningful goals and evaluate their progress,” said Ms Devlin. “This process promotes effective self-management, where students take responsibility and ownership of their learning, with their advisors assisting them to develop this independence.” There is also a very important pastoral element to the academic advising process. Unhappy students cannot learn, so academic advisors can also delve into other areas impacting students’ learning or lives.

Organisers are still on the lookout for more teams to participate in this year’s River to Rooftop race. A participant for the previous two years running, Arrow Energy team captain Bevan Gibbs said the race was a gruelling yet satisfying challenge to the top of the 195m 111 Eagle Street tower. This year’s race will raise funds for the Women’s Legal Service, providing

Women’s Legal Service CEO Angela Lynch said the assistance was much appreciated. “Last year we helped 11,000 women and 17,000 children across Queensland,” Ms Lynch said. “However, 50 per cent of our calls can’t get through to our domestic helpline, so any additional funds would be spent utilising more calls and responding to calls,” she said. Register at rivertorooftop.com.au.

The winner will receive a night’s stay at the Marriott Brisbane on Queen St and dinner, donated by a resident. Ms Harris hopes to raise $3,000 with the step challenge.

Bulimba delivered the good oil V I L L AG E

hi stor y GERARD BENJAMIN

“[Bulimba] has more gas [petroleum] in it than it ever absorbed through the happy medium of its famous beer,” was the newspaper reporter’s waggish reference to the 1926 visit of the petrol tanker “SS Plume”. The 12,300-ton ship, on its maiden voyage, tied up on the north side of the present-day Teneriffe Ferry in order to discharge a tremendous consignment of petrol (“gas”) at Vacuum Oil Co’s facility of seven large storage tanks. Meanwhile, the famous Queensland ‘Bulimba Beer’, of which so many wished they could have their fill, had been brewed nearby at Florence Street, Teneriffe, at what had become a local

LIGHTERS BANNED: The Vacuum Oil plant on Skyring Terrace with the gasworks in the background. (Telegraph, 19 Nov 1926, p.15)

institution up until 20 years before. Vacuum Oil Co first showed interest in this part of Newstead (then Bulimba) in 1908. The five-acre block between the river and Skyring Terrace was ideally suited but there was strong opposition from the adjoining gasworks. Since the area was subject to flooding, the worry was that flammable spirits and kerosene could be carried by floodwaters into the gasworks premises and there risk an explosion. Despite this, the plant received the green light and planning proceeded. One preliminary step involved removing five wooden cottages adjoining the ferry.

In 1947, New Farm builders JD MacDonald & Sons constructed the office and distribution facility for Atlantic Union Oil Co, an affiliate of Vacuum Oil Co. The address was Doggett Street, Newstead, one door along from Longland Street. Also installed was a 400m underground pipe system to bring spirit from the Vacuum Oil storage facility to Doggett Street. Jim MacDonald, son of the builder, and Noel Field, who worked at the Doggett Street office, both remarked with bemusement, “The petrol was Vacuum Oil brand when it went into the pipe, and Atlantic Union when it came out…”. From the Doggett Street depot, three mobile tankers and one flat-top truck distributed fuel to the city’s service stations. In 1953 the City Council informed oil companies that their licences to store bulk fuels close to the inner city would not be renewed after December 1954, thus signalling Vacuum Oil’s move to Colmslie. For a period in the 1960s, the Doggett Street warehouse served as a workshop for Skennars long distance coaches, then in December 2013, the building, 85 Doggett Street, became the ‘birthplace, the spiritual home’ of Newstead Brewing Co.

Part of the new plant needed to store lubricating oils, and for this purpose, a brick warehouse was built on the Commercial Road corner. Today, it houses Community Place. Vacuum Oil’s storage facility was hardly finished in 1910 before excavations began for the construction of Winchcombe Carson’s huge woolstore one block away. While road transport was used for distribution from the plant, the oil company also sought to employ the rail system. Vacuum Oil Co commissioned ten special rail tank cars which could each carry 5000 gallons of bulk motor spirit to country storage centres. The extent of this industry can be gauged by the volume of petroleum stored in tanks at Newstead, Bowen Hills, Bulimba and New Farm. In 1948, that total stood at 13.35 million gallons. By comparison, Whinstanes near the river mouth held just over a third of this amount. No wonder visitors to the Bulimba plant had to hand over to the gatekeeper any matches or cigarette lighters. This was to prevent anyone inadvertently lighting up a cigarette. These were handed back on exit after load details and dockets were checked. •••

Makeup magnate at Fashion Fest Makeup magnate Napoleon Perdis (pictured) and his eldest daughter Lianna will be ambassadors for the 2018 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival hosted at Old Government House from August 26-30. The pair will preside over one of the most exciting editions of the Festival with labels such as Camilla, Ginger & Smart, Dion Lee, Alice McCall, Bianca Spender, Aqua Blu Australia and Scanlan Theodore presenting their spring/summer collections. Lianna, 18, who walk the runways throughout the week, says she is looking forward to discovering refreshing new Queensland designers. “Australia is my home away from home, and the fashion industry here is incredible.” Perhaps one of Lianna’s new discoveries will be New Farm’s very own Tracey Watkins, founder, owner and designer of sought-after label White Label Noba. Demand for the Festival is such that, with more than 2,000

tickets sold in under one week, the Mercedes-Benz Group Shows 1 and 2 will have an encore performance for the first time in its dozen-year history. Returning this year is the everpopular QueensPlaza High Tea and Fashion Trends series, to be held at Tattersall’s Club on Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 August at 10am. Visit mbff.com.au/events-bookings/

Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen good movement in two quite different sectors of the market. The first has been the notable uplift in buyers attending open houses for units. Sam Mayes from Ray White Spring Hill told me last week that he has not seen this much activity in the apartment market since 2015. He went on to say that the increase in buyers has been mainly in older style apartments or those units that offered something slightly outside the mold eg. ground floor, extra car-park etc. The second noticeable change has occurred in the rental of properties over $1000p/w. I was speaking with Eadan Hockings, who heads up our new client management team at Living Here, and he note that we have rented more properties over $1000 p/w in the last 6 weeks than in any other similar period over the last 12 months. He put this change down to more people seeking rental accommodation while they renovated their homes, buyers who were taking their time to find the right property after selling their home and executives that were benefiting from accommodation allowances. These market changes have been well received after long periods of downward pressure in both areas. The apartments are now rebuilding after a period of saturation and the high-end rental market is now recovering after accommodation allowances had dried up in the rental market post GFC. haesley is the local principal of living here cush partners and a columnist for the sunday mail. portions of this article may be an extract from his column.
