A new
year for new travel adventures
THE BEGINNING OF A new year is always an exciting time, with plenty of optimism and excitement in the air. It gives all of us cause to stop and reflect on the year that was, and many people take the opportunity to set ambitious resolutions for the year to come. The other day I read a list of the most popular personal resolutions. Aside from health and fitness goals, it seems many of us yearn to spend more time with loved ones and see more of the world. This was inspiring for me to read, because it’s exactly what we’re here to help each of you do. Every year our team works hard to think of smarter ways to operate, so that we can reduce our costs and pass on lower fares to you. And our commitment to this will only strengthen in 2016 as we continue growing our network of more than 70 destinations across Asia Pacific.
It’s all about giving more people the opportunity to travel to more places more often, and it’s something everyone at Jetstar believes in passionately. Thank you for choosing to fly with us. We hope it’s the first of many great adventures for you in 2016.

GELATO
Scoop this! Pistachio chip, rhubarb swirl, salted caramel or double chocolate fudge. Do you dream of a new-wave ice cream? I C E C R E A M has come a long way since tri-flavoured Neapolitan out of a cone was the height of sophistication. Now it is stuffed into doughnuts, sandwiched between cookies and adorned with all kinds of edible delights. Previously unimaginable combinations invented by chefs and gastronomists in high-tech laboratories tempt us from brightly lit boutiques in a kaleidoscope of colours. Ice cream is even created before our eyes amid clouds of liquid nitrogen. In simpler times, Alexander the Great is thought to have enjoyed snow flavoured with honey and nectar, while Caesar reportedly sent slaves to fetch ice from the mountains and ate it with fruit pulp and juices. Many historians credit the Chinese for packing snow into a bowl of rice and milk to create a frozen treat as long ago as 3000BC. A thousand years later, merchant Marco Polo returned from the Far East with a recipe for “water ice” similar to a modern-day sorbet. The ice cream soda (also referred to as a float or spider) – scoops of ice cream added to carbonated water flavoured with syrup – was created in the 1870s. The ice cream sundae - invented

to circumvent laws that forbade serving soda on Sunday - soon followed. As technology improved, ice cream invention took off. Rocky road, chocolate chip, cookies-andcream and Neapolitan started the movement. And flavour creation in the last decade has run rampant.

ICE CREAM CLUBBING Main and right: Queues head down the street late into the night for Gelato Messina. Inset: The famous Oddies Foodies’ bubble waffle
this imaginative company has been one of the leading lights in Australia’s ice cream revolution. Gelato Messina’s initial collection of 20 freshly churned flavours, inspired by the owners’ Sicilian heritage, has grown to a whopping 40 offerings with changing weekly specials. Peanut butter jelly sandwich anyone? Or how about vanillasoaked brioche and raspberry jam? The Gelato Messina team recently created a range with pastry chef Andy Bowdy that included chocolate fudge cake soft-serve, stuffed inside a chocolate cookie sandwich, and a series of Aussie milk-bar-inspired ice cream bars for the upcoming Spectrum Now festival, held in Sydney until March. Messina’s Donato Toce says their sister venue Dessert Bar, opened next door to the Darlinghurst store in September 2014, offers exclusive dessert-degustation experiences.
“We’re straying away from the frankenfood and doing something special for a smaller group that’s a lot more of an experience rather than a scoff your face and feel stuffed after,” says Donato. “We’ve got this amazing group of talented chefs and it would be such a shame if everything was just put into a cup or cone.”
Top-heavy treats Hong Kong-based Oddies Foodies are masters of creating parfaits in a cup with six or seven layers. From their monthly changing menu, the Night Wolf is the all-time favourite – soft Italian gelato twisted with 66 per cent dark chocolate, caramelised banana ice-cream, passionfruit pannacotta, and crunchy
flakes. But it’s a brownie and chocolate-chip eggette precariously hanging from a cup that’s the real show stopper. The spherical egg-based waffle is usually served warm and eaten plain, but Oddies takes this popular Hong Kong street food to the next level. Owner, Winnie Pang says: “We are constantly bringing new creations to our customers and are willing to create funky, different flavours to what the market offers.”

in Bangkok, three in Queensland and others planned for Bali and Hawaii, incorporated the use of liquid nitrogen to freeze ice cream as part of an-instore experience. “When people first come to Nitrogenie they are drawn into the show, because when you use liquid nitrogen it creates a lot of vapour,” says director Steve Minon. “But what they walk away with is an ice cream that’s fundamentally different to what they are used to.” A form of molecular gastronomy, the process happens so quickly that ice particles cannot form the way they do in churned ice cream. Making ice cream to order offers a lot of freedom; think peanut-butterand-jam doughnut or biscuit-based lemon meringue pie with lemoncurd ice-cream and a meringue top.

store in Sydney’s Chinatown was based around a laboratory theme with staff dressed in lab coats using flasks and beakers. The next creative masterstroke was storing warm caramels and chocolate ganache in syringes for customers to squeeze over their gelatos (if they can resist squeezing them directly into their mouths, that is). Co-owner AnnGee Yeoh sees ice cream fascination as food obsession in general. “Customers are eating more, seeing more, and as a result, are getting more discerning, constantly wanting something different, something new,” she says.
Social science Andy Bowdy, who rose to fame with horizontal soft-serve creations known as sideways sundaes, agrees. “Social media plays a massive part these days,” he says. “Pastry is changing, too, from well-finished plated desserts, gravitating to overindulgence and eating with your eyes.” With summer heating up and cooler ice-cream offerings than ever before, we’re all for eating with our eyes.

SODAS AND CORDIALS
Top of the pops Spurred by nostalgia and flavour experimentation, bars and cafés are ditching sugary soft drinks for hand-crafted sodas and cordials H A N D S U P who remembers the ’50s? Elvis was breaking hearts, couples canoodled at drive-ins and soda jerks served spiders while customers bopped along to jukebox tunes. Just as everything old is new again, soda is back in a big way. At Burger Circus in Hong Kong, the mid-century American burger joint is recreated in both fit-out and menu. Customers can order house-made sodas such as cherry limeade and the kitchen’s version of cola, based on John Pemberton’s original Coca-Cola recipe, minus the chemical aftertaste. Joseph Slater and Mike Stewart opened Wellington's Six Barrel Soda Co in 2012 after struggling to find interesting soft drinks for their recently sold bar, Monterey. “We were doing craft beer and interesting wines but there wasn’t really anything independent and interesting in the non-alcoholic range. We started making a whole bunch of syrups and soft drinks, and it took off from there,” says Mike. Their soda shop is part café, part showroom. Visitors watch the syrups being made from scratch while sipping sodas and eating burgers. Flavours include classics such as WORDS

sarsaparilla, and signature drinks including celery tonic. Limited edition seasonal releases have also been a hit, such as a pine needle syrup created for Christmas a couple of years ago. “People are looking for more interesting flavours,” says Mike. “They’re buying soda machines but don’t necessarily like the cordials.” Karina Serex, who owns Tuck Shop Take Away in Melbourne with husband Clinton, fits neatly into this category. “When we bought our soda machine it came with a sample pack of 12 different flavours. We tried them all and they are just foul.

People probably don’t know how easy it is to make a syrup,” she says. “All it takes is equal parts fruit puree and sugar syrup.” Inspired by childhood memories of Passiona and Orangina, Karina makes syrups at the café, including a cream soda adapted from a 1950s recipe with almond extract, cream and fresh vanilla bean. “When you’re making a syrup yourself you don’t have any of those awful ‘numbers’ in your cordial. You can even make alcoholic versions for the adults … the possibilities are endless,” she says. Adult-style syrups make up a decent chunk of Joseph Boroski’s repertoire. A bar consultant and mixologist, he’s been making them for 15 years, starting in New York before shifting to Asia. Currently based in Bangkok, Joseph heads The Joseph Boroski Bar & Hospitality School, which becomes a notoriously hard-to-find bar in the evenings. There he makes fruit-based cordials and sodas driven by what’s available at local markets, such as pink guava cola and pandan ginger beer. “The fresh, tropical ingredients

are one of my favourite things about Thailand. We’ve done some really cool things like using tom yum ingredients in sodas, without the shrimp of course but with galangal, kaffir and a touch of chilli. We must have done 100 different sodas, at least,” he says. Having already cemented their place in American bars, smallbatch tonic syrups are also popping up in the southern hemisphere as replacements for tonic water in G&Ts. In Victoria there’s Blood Moon Tonic, McPhail's Tinctures, and, originally

from New Zealand, Sin-kō-nah Tonic Syrup. These artisan syrups use cinchona bark, a natural source of quinine used to treat malaria, unlike commercial tonic, which is often loaded with sugar and chemicals. In Singapore, at Little Island Brewing Co, children and adults alike are excited by the prospect of fairy floss soda made with strawberries and balsamic vinegar, as well as apple spritzer and fruit tingle fizz. The electronic payment system, where you top up a card and only pay for what you drink, means that
you can pour yourself a little of each. According to the microbrewery’s general manager, Darren Hilditch, making soda on premises is an extension of the venue’s philosophy. “We like to do things the craft way. You can’t have craft beer and then put Coca-Cola on the menu and take yourselves seriously,” he says. Malaysian-based Coffee Stain is swapping craft for innovation with their Xolorespresso. Staff serve a beaker of carbonated water and three test tubes; one with a shot of espresso and two with flavoured syrups. The

idea is to add them to the soda to bring out the coffee's characteristics. Whether your preference is soda or syrup, Sin-kō-nah founder Sarah Robins presents an undiluted argument about why cafés and customers are switching to smaller beverage producers. “Part of it is about authenticity; with bigger, mainstreams brands, we don’t really know what’s in them. We want simple, natural ingredients,” she says. “But there’s also that yearning for an adult version of something from our childhood.” Jetstar.com

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU
Tips for a fresh start We’re all guilty of breaking a few New Year’s resolutions. Let this year be the one where you make all the right changes, with our nine tips for a new you 1. Quit smoking
4. Focus on fitness
7. Learn something new
You’ve heard it before, maybe even tried to quit and failed, but it’s time to stop making excuses and kick the habit. Quitting will have countless immediate and longterm health benefits.
Overindulged during the silly season? You’ll feel better if you get moving. Find an activity that you like (skipping, hula hoops, walking the dog), as you’re more likely to stick with it if you’re having fun.
Have you always wanted to master the art of baking, learn how to upholster a chair or sew your own clothes? There’s a course for everything. Sign up and see where your passions take you.
2. Change your career
5. De-clutter
8. Volunteer
There are people who love going to work everyday, and there’s no reason you can’t be one of them. Take stock of your career goals, and assess how you can achieve them.
A clean house equals a clean mind. No, really. Taking the time to properly sort through your clutter can be a cathartic exercise. Just ask Oprah!
Many volunteers swear they get as much from the experience as the organisations they’re helping. Truth is, it feels good to focus on others, and volunteering can be fun and social, too.
3. Book a holiday Nothing will help you unwind more than a getaway. Book yourself a week on a tropical beach. Go on that hike you’ve always meant to do. Life is always a little brighter when you have an adventure on the horizon.

6. Get fresh Try to get more fresh fruit and veg into your diet. Why not swap your morning coffee for a juice or smoothie with a chia or wheatgrass booster? Your body will thank you.
9. Adopt a stray Every January, animal shelters fill with unwanted furry Christmas gifts. Make a difference and give one a home. A pet might end up improving your life just as much as you improve theirs.

The stylist, TV presenter and author of 22 award-winning cookbooks and her own eponymous magazine may be incredibly disciplined and hardworking, but when it comes to rules she’s a rebel, especially when she’s talking about food. “I hate rules. If anyone gives me a rule I do my best to break it quickly. I’m that rebellious girl, unfortunately,” she laughs. So when Donna decided to get a little bit healthier, a list of do’s and don’t was not on the agenda. “There’s enough rules in life, there’s enough going on without making eating less satisfying

and a chore or putting more rules around it. I just think it’s a sensible approach,” she says. Her latest book, life in balance, is dedicated to a fresher approach to eating and is, in typical Donna Hay style, full of tempting recipes
(including the sweet indulgences it’s so hard to live without) that you immediately want to start cooking and eating. From classic main courses such as pink lamb marinated in ras el hanout to perfect lunchbox salads or breakfast pancakes loaded up with chunks of banana, vanilla bean yoghurt and maple syrup, there’s nothing in the book to suggest a fresh look at food means missing out. From ‘steaks’ made with broccoli and cauliflower to nutty roasted quinoa and new-look dips, Donna’s approach has been to zhoosh familiar ingredients and give them a fresh taste and look. “(I’m) trying to debunk that myth that healthy food doesn’t taste great,” she says. “When we were tasting the (recipes) if it felt like we were missing out on something, the recipe didn’t

Coconut and chai chia Serves 4-6
H E A LT H K I C K Main pic: Coconut and chai chia. Left: Super easy banana cookies. Below: Donna Hay
INGREDIENTS • 3 tablespoons chai tea • 1½ cups (375ml) coconut milk • 1½ cups (375ml) milk or nut milk • 3 tablespoons raw honey, plus extra to serve • ½ cup (100g) white chia seeds • coconut yoghurt, chopped pistachios and pomegranate seeds, to serve METHOD Place the tea and coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Strain the mixture into a medium bowl, discarding the solids. Add the milk, honey and chia seeds, mix to combine and refrigerate for 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the chia is soft.
“(I’m) trying to debunk that myth that healthy food doesn’t taste great” make it – it hit the bin and we’d start again. There’s nothing worse than eating something and feeling like you’re on some sort of diet.” Like most busy people, Donna says it’s tiredness and lack of planning that de-rails healthy eating. “If I don’t plan, then I’m a bit of a goner, that’s when I turn to junk food.” The benefits of eating well are almost immediate, she says. “For me, it’s my energy levels and my skin, which is kind of amazing.” Avoiding the junk-food trap means planning, but with online shopping and delivery now more accessible than ever, stocking your pantry and fridge with healthy ingredients is easy. This might mean adding more wholegrains, leafy greens, nuts and seeds to your shopping list and, instead of a bar of chocolate or a packet of biscuits in your basket, buying the ingredients to make
simple but delicious treats. “The banana cookies (on right) got a run in my house for a long, long time because they’re literally bananas, almond meal, maple and cinnamon and you can dust them with demerara sugar before you cook. The other one is the flourless cacao fudge cake, which has only five ingredients, but is so delicious.” That’s a healthy approach to eating we can all embrace.
Life in Balance by Donna Hay, Fourth Estate, $39.99
Divide chia between glasses and top with yoghurt, pistachio, pomegranate and extra honey to serve.
Banana cookies Makes 16 INGREDIENTS • 1 cup (260g) mashed banana (about 3 bananas) • 2 cups (240g) almond meal (ground almonds) • ⅓ cup (80ml) maple syrup • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon • ¼ cup (55g) demerara sugar METHOD Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Place the banana, almond meal, maple syrup and ½ teaspoon of the cinnamon in a bowl and mix to combine. Place the sugar and remaining cinnamon in a separate bowl and mix to combine. Roll tablespoons of the banana mixture into balls, flatten slightly and gently toss in the sugar mixture to coat. Place on baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper and bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden and crisp to touch. Allow to cool on trays. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

2 I ’ L L A D M I T I T : I’m a child of winter. My fine, frizzy mop copes better with cooler climes and low humidity. A few years ago, once the temperature soared past 17 degrees, I would be tearing my hair out (pardon the pun). But I’ve armed myself with a kitbag of tricks to combat the perils of summer hair. O I LY R O O T S , D R Y E N D S Harsh UV rays and dry heat leach moisture from the ends of your hair, while excessive oil flow (caused by soaring temperatures and excess perspiration) leaves your scalp oily. The solution? Trim away dry, frazzled ends and rebalance your hair with mild, balancing shampoo I L LU ST R AT I O N I STO C K P H OTO . C O M

and conditioner, backed with ends-only moisture treatments. Don’t over-wash hair, as it will stimulate the oil glands to create more oil, and keep a top-notch dry shampoo handy to spray into the roots if oil becomes excessive. GREEN HAIR Ghastly green happens when you swim in chlorinated water and it’s not specific to blondes – redheads go brassy, while brunettes sport a khaki tinge. Use a detoxifying shampoo, which lifts mineral deposits and helps fade the green. Next time you swim; create a barrier between your hair and the chemicals,
by soaking your hair with water and hair oil. This prevents chemicals from clinging to your hair and adds moisture at the same time. U N R U LY, F R I Z Z Y L O C K S Lock moisture in and keep humidity out with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, plus a smoothing balm. Don’t agitate the hair shaft by rubbing your hair dry. Instead, gently press the lengths together in a soft towel. Rinse with cold water before stepping out of the shower, and use low heat on your hairdryer, finishing with a blast of cool air. This will encourage the hair cuticle to lie flat and leave it shinier.

A F R I E N D O F M I N E is what you’d call a serial Speedo pest. He’ll take any opportunity to get into his briefs. By the pool, by the beach, it doesn’t matter. Howls of protest from his mates? All the better. Speedo Pest has been like this all his life, which leads me to believe exhibitionists are born, not made. Twenty years ago you could choose from two types of bathers: briefs or boardshorts. Now there are a handful of variations. While Speedos (briefs) are still generally reserved for lap-swimmers, divers, “clubbies” (surf life saving members) and former I L LU ST R AT I O N I STO C K P H OTO . C O M

prime ministers, we’ve noticed a slightly wider-cut, boy-leg brief cropping up in the category of fashion trunks (for example, Jets’ trunks from $94.95). But boardshorts are by far still the most popular male swimwear in Australia. In the past five years, surfers have gone cold on the longer, baggier variety and hem-lines have steadily crept up the thigh. Popular Australian brands such as Rip Curl and Billabong have been joined by the Nikeowned Hurley in offering “technology-focused” products: fabrics are more comfortable, stretchy, and dry faster than they used to.
The shorter boardshort (similar in cut to boxers) works for men of any age (think Paul Smith, for example, from about $150 and Sydney’s The Rocks Push, $110) and we’re told brands such as Vilebrequin ($230, ouch!) are popular with Europeans. And at the top end of the market, Prada sells short(ish) boardshorts in block-colour signature nylon, with a discreet backpocket logo ($410). The most costly cossie we found was Dolce & Gabbana’s photoprint short boardshorts at $625. That’s one expensive (albeit chic) trip to the beach.
Surfing in Speedos Surfboard? Check. Speedos? Nope. “There’s nothing more disturbing,” said one seasoned surfer we talked to, “than the sight of a bloke in the line-up coming down the wave with his tackle hanging out.” 2
The baggy long leg These long, super-baggy boardshorts operate like sandbags in the water. A drowning hazard, too slow to dry, and out of fashion for at least five years. 3
Cut-off jeans Cheap and chic on land, in water it’s another story. They can be uncomfotable, heavy and are a magnet for sand. Not convinced? One word: chafing. Jetstar.com

There are 290 stores, straddling both the luxury and affordable ends of the market, and plenty of food options to top up your shopping stamina. Big US department stores such as Macy’s, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom can be found here, as well as Japanese department store Shirokiya and its massive Japanese food court. The new Ewa Wing opened in November last year (check out the Agent Provocateur store) with Bloomingdale’s and Zara set to open later this year.

There is a great selection of children’s discount shops, too, including Osh Kosh B’gosh and Tommy Hilfiger Kids. Teens will love the Vans, Skechers and Asics outlets.

Ward Village Shops
There are more than 150 shops at Ward Village, but the biggest drawcard is Nordstrom Rack, which sells designer clothing and accessories at up to 70 per cent off the retail price. The dress racks alone are mind-boggling, with everything packed in tight by size, not brand. It makes for a colourful and often frustrating mess to trawl through. Still, it’s worth the effort for bargain hunters with patience. Then there is the shoe section, where brands include Steve Madden, Stuart Weitzman and Betsey Johnson. Those with smaller-than-average feet will have the most choice (and, ultimately, the most jealousy coming their way).

MINDFULNESS
State of grace Learn to still your thoughts and be in the moment. Alice Williams finds the results are powerful M I N D F U L N E S S , the act of moment-to-moment awareness, has been credited with everything from curing depression to helping people lose weight, stress less and sleep better. Clued-in CEOs are now using mindfulness, which has roots in traditional Buddhist meditation, to boost productivity, while Western psychologists extol the virtues of everything from “mindful walking” to “mindful eating” and even mindful dishwashing. An easy way to understand mindfulness is to look outside your plane window when you’re cruising at high altitude. No matter what the weather was like when you took off, there’s a place beyond the clouds where the sky is always clear. It is the same with our minds. When we can observe our sensations and thoughts (the “clouds”) in a non-judgemental way,

eventually they drift away, revealing the clear blue sky of our mind that was there all along. “It doesn’t mean you sit there like a lump of tofu,” says comedian Ruby Wax, who has a master’s
degree in mindfulnessbased cognitive therapy from Oxford. “It means that when your mind changes and chatters, you don’t fight it, but rather understand and accept it for what it is.”
TIME TO FOCUS As someone with the attention span of a toddler, I’m interested to see if mindfulness can help me combat my tendency for distraction. I experiment with a “grounding”’ practice I can do at my desk, outlined in Ruby Wax’s book A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled (Penguin Random House). The practice of tuning into my physical sensations is simple, but requires commitment – I’d rather suppress deadline

anxiety with cat videos or a biscuit than “notice how I feel”. The first times I practise I notice how tightly I clench my stomach when I’m anxious, and how this stops my breathing. But after a few moments of the simple act of paying attention, my whole energy shifts and tension drains away. When I do refocus on my work, a solution to something that was stumping me appears in the mental space the practice created.
Notice the sensations in your belly. Let it relax and soften as you inhale. As you breathe out, let go of any tightness in your shoulders. 3
Notice the screen of your mind. Are there “clouds” (background activity)? Without following the clouds, give them a label such as “planning” “remembering” or “should-ing”. 4
After a few moments, notice how you feel mentally, emotionally, and physically. Can you see the clear blue sky beyond? For more meditation exercises turn to page 158 in the Inflight Entertainment section Jetstar.com

Enter one of Michael’s studios and you’ll be immediately intrigued by his handmade, stand-alone cabins. The exquisitely detailed structures are made using a technique of lath, nails and glue that Michael has refined over years. Constructed in panels that can easily be disassembled, flatpacked and shipped, they make ideal individual workspaces or cosy studios and can be customised to suit. Known as lath (pronounced “larthe”) the Oregon pine strips were used up until about 50 years ago as a framework for making wet plaster walls. Today it’s widely regarded as landfill. It’s difficult to move around the collection of timber artworks in his stores: chairs dangle from the ceiling, WORDS

“It helped me to realise, ‘Boy, I can do whatever I want’.” a cheerfully painted gabled cabin is surrounded by picture frames, shelves, stools and hinged boxes. An enthusiastic believer in independence, free thought and encouraging others, Michael’s worldview has been strongly shaped by his experiences as a young man. At 17 he hand-built a cottage on a friend’s NSW bush property. “It helped me to realise, ‘Boy, I can do whatever I want’,” he recalls. The young Michael trained hard,
read voraciously, kept a diary and found inspiration through art. Sydney College of the Arts accepted him into a post-graduate degree in sculpture but Michael dropped out after four months. “I think I’ve always just been a self-educator and I didn’t like too much to get involved in the exercises. I kind of just wanted to do my thing,” Michael says. That ‘thing’ now includes creating beautiful places for other people to find the things that they love doing, too. Find Michael Kelly at one of his four Carlton studio shops at 265 and 293 Drummond Street and 181 and 187 Elgin Street. Opening hours vary. The studios/sheds can be customised, flat-packed and shipped. Ph: 0402 598 786. michaelkelly-artist.com Jetstar.com

Are Your Hormones Making You Fat? Imagine waking up every morning to the sound of your alarm, excited and happy to be starting a new day. When you look in the mirror you admire your body. Everyone tells you how great you’re looking and asks what your secret is. Sound too good to be true? If you, like many other women, don’t feel this way, you may have a hormonal imbalance. Research has documented that over 40 per cent of women have an undiagnosed underactive thyroid gland. If you feel tired all the time, crave sugar, use alcohol and coffee to lift yourself, retain weight around your middle and feel the cold, you could be suffering from this problem. What Does Your Thyroid Do, and What Does This Mean For You? The thyroid gland is the major player in controlling how many calories you burn. It produces hormones that control the body’s metabolism. If your thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism) it’s almost impossible to lose that spare tyre around your middle, no matter how many carbs you cut out or how many hours you spend on the treadmill. Blood Testing Current blood testing methods don’t tell the whole story. Blood tests (TSH) can only measure how much thyroid hormone you have in your blood – they can’t measure how well your hormones are working. So, if you do have a thyroid problem, it may not always be picked up. New Way of Testing American thyroid specialists, Dr. Konrad Kail and Dr. Daryl Turner have developed a quick and non-invasive medical thyroid screening test, that’s been used by US doctors for the past seven years to accurately diagnose thyroid issues. The good news is, once your thyroid function is accurately diagnosed, the medication and nutrients you need to get your thyroid balanced can be established. With a balanced thyroid your energy will increase, you will lose weight easily, and you’ll feel happier in yourself. Your health is your greatest asset, so, if you suspect that your thyroid isn’t quite right, don’t put off getting tested, you deserve to feel fantastic every day.

That’s real secret squirrel stuff,” he says.

This self-confessed “big kid” was once the IT manager of a media company who simply enjoyed “messing around” with LEGO robotics as a hobby. He happened to meet a travelling company scout and they worked on a few projects together until Ryan became one of just 12 certified LEGO professionals in the world, and the only one in the southern hemisphere.

They are sworn to secrecy, too.” During the last year or so, Ryan has worked on some extraordinary projects. His Sydney Harbour Icons exhibition, on show in the Museum of Sydney until July, features a seven -metre-long Harbour Bridge, made with 130,000 bricks, and a crosssection of the Opera House. There’s also the famous grinning entrance to Luna Park and the amusement park’s popular ferris wheel, a flotilla of harbour watercraft and more than 1000 mini figurines climbing the bridge and enjoying the sights. Curious visitors can be taken
behind the scenes to explore the techniques and tricks used by the masters and can put their skills to the test using the 500,000 loose LEGO and DUPLO bricks available at the exhibition. Meanwhile, Ryan’s first solo exhibition Towers of Tomorrow, which features 19 international landmark skyscrapers, continues to travel across the country. Towers of Tomorrow was built to showcase Sydney’s Barangaroo waterfront development (see page 76) and features three-metre-high models of its proposed towers, juxtaposed with Melbourne’s Eureka Skydeck, Perth’s Central Park Tower, Malaysia’s Petronas Twin Towers, Taiwan’s Taipei 101 and Japan’s Tokyo Skytree.

ADVERTORIAL
The Crystal Ball of Wine for 2016 It’s been a big year in wine for the Australian wine drinker. New grape varieties, emerging wine regions and changing wine styles fuelled by the dramatic growth of restaurants and wine bars. Never before have there been better wines available in Australia, from both local and international winemakers and perhaps for the first time in our short gastronomic history we have a wine offer so heavily geared towards its relationship with food. With this in mind and with a shiny new 2016 on the horizon we have listed our hot wine tips and topics for the coming year.
1
Region: The Hunter Valley. It seems nearly every year there is a sommelier or restaurateur in Sydney championing the cause of the Hunter Valley only to have their voices drowned out by the latest wine trend washing across the drinking and dining landscape. In 2016 we will see the release of the 2015 Semillons and many of the 2014 Shiraz. These new releases normally would not cause so much as a ripple across the ocean of wines released each year in Australia. However this new class of Hunter Valley wines is the best I have seen in nearly 20 years. The Semillons are not only dry, bright and fresh but are also layered with flavour and eminently drinkable. The reds, led by Shiraz, are without doubt the best I have seen in recent memory. What makes them stand out as opposed to other years is their accessibility as young wines and they way they look like the ‘traditional’ hunter reds. Medium bodied, spicy, savoury and freshly fruited. Whatever you have left in the kitty of after Christmas shopping buy, buy, buy.
2
Style: Prescription Med’s. Wine always follows food. Look at any shift in the way we eat and it will almost clearly result in a corresponding shift in the way we drink. Take Mediterranean food, early ‘noughties’ restaurateurs and chefs tired of the classroom formality of French dining rebel with oily, salty small courses full of flavour and energy. Soon a wave of restaurants open around Australia with short, tapas-style, shareable menus
Keystone_Jan.indd 44-45_Insider_BackTo 1 School.indd 44
loaded with intensely flavoured morsels that screamed for wines that shared the same heritage. Suddenly wine lists heave with varieties like vermentino, pinot grigio, fiano, albarino, sangiovese, tempranillo and nebbiolo. These wines continue to increase in popularity year after year and are the new grape mix for the discerning wine drinker.
3
Variety: Grenache. As the saying goes ‘poor tradesman blame their tools’ This was never more the case than with one of Australia’s most revered and misunderstood grape varieties; Grenache. Pumped full of oak and excessive alcohol the red wines made from Grenache were heavy, rich and clumsy. What is being re-discovered is that Grenache is very sensitive to where its planted and when handled right makes dry, fresh, beautifully proportioned wines
that taste like a cross between Pinot Noir and Merlot. Australia has the oldest Grenache vines in the world and the wines that are currently being made are the first that truly curate the history of this hardy and reliable vine. Look for the best examples to come out of McLaren Vale and The Barossa Valley.

Jellyfish keeps striving to deliver Australia’s best seafood meals with the apopintment of Head Chef Miroslav Damjanovic. Developing his skills at Vue De Monde, Cuttler & Co and Ten Minutes by Tractor, Miroslav is taking fish meals at Jellyfish to a fresh exciting level.
Jellyfish aim to source and serve daily a school of 8 to 14 species of fish, to learn about and understand the textures and specific qualities of each species so they can then recommend the best way to cook and serve it. If a restaurant’s fish menu doesn’t change, it generally means the fish are either frozen or farmed. Weather doesn’t permit the same species offered daily which is why Jellyfish menu changes every day.
New Head Chef Miroslav Damjanovic
Jellyfish offer a superior wine list of boutique, eclectic and lesser known vineyards as well as firm favourites from the new and old world. Service in the restaurant, the 35-seat Private Dining Room and in the newly expanded bar is always gracious, friendly and relaxed.

WORD ON THE STREET The best place to start your Phuket food adventure is in the laneways of the Old Town
S
tep away from Thailand’s familiar green curry for a moment and spoil yourself with Phuket’s unique cuisine. It’s dominated by super-fresh seafood from the Andaman Sea and a historical hotpot of cultures that add a splash of spice. The best way to jump in is to take a bicycle to the streets and burn off what you eat. Your journey might involve a steep hill or two, but you’ll be rewarded with the long, calm swathe of Kamala Beach up to busy Bangtao. Bangtao local Prasit Proksgul, fondly known as Khun (Mr) Yaya, from Swissotel Resort Phuket at Kamala Beach, leads the ride along the main road to a row of unnamed tin cafés in Bangtao town. Here a troupe of women wearing glittering headscarves dish up bowls of kanom jeen. Forget Weet-Bix, the soft, spaghetti-like noodles are doused in a fishy curry sauce, and Yaya leads by example, reaching
for boiled eggs, chopped cucumber and vibrant fresh herbs to create a breakfast sensation. Further down the main road, school boys mill around the food carts in front of Bangtao’s large mosque, ordering corn juice. A couple of savvy foreigners pick up thick, cold iced coffee (kafe yen) for a classic Thai heart starter. Green noodles for breakfast? Why not? Pull up a plastic stool and order a serve of lod chong – the vivid green pandan noodles, sprinkled with red sugar and splashed with coconut milk – surely Phuket’s ultimate comfort food. Finish up with mugs of cha ron – sweet, hot tea –and watch the morning parade of passing mopeds and pick-up trucks. This seems like an odd thing to say when you’re in Phuket, but get off the beach. Phuket’s Old Town is a compact grid of streets and sois (lanes) lined with artfully decaying Sino-Portuguese shop-houses. Make tracks for the peninsula’s most celebrated restaurant, Raya, beloved by foodies for its gaeng nue poo bai cha plu, a rich yellow, coconut curry packed with local crab. The 90-year-old shop-house, run by the famed Madame Rose, is cool and busy, with Thai royals among its fans. Happily, Phuket’s crowd-pleaser cuisine is catching on and friendly young rival, One Chun Café, is just around Jetstar.com

Easier on the wallet than Raya, don’t miss the go-to dish of moo hong – deep-fried pork in a dark brew of soy, sugar, garlic, cinnamon and star anise. At the busy intersection of Thung Kha and Yaowarat Roads, you’ll find one of Phuket’s most beloved treats. Icy, sweet and a lurid pink, o-aew is tough to say, but in Thailand’s muggy heat, very easy to eat. Elbow the school kids out of the way for your own plastic bag filled with ice, watermelon syrup, red kidney beans and cubes of cool, clear banana jelly. You’ll also find it in the food stalls along Soi Uthit, deeper in the Old Town. While you’re there, keep an eye out for Ji Pien’s stall dishing up classic Phuket o-tao, an oyster omelette that should fill any empty corners. If you want to frock up for your Phuket food, this town’s got more five-star hotels than you could sleep at in a month. Top of the line-up is super-luxe Sri Panwa Hotel, which hovers at the top of the “best Thailand hotel” lists. Set on the tip of Cape Panwa, the first order of the evening should be a sundowner at its dazzling, 360-degree rooftop bar, Baba Nest. Then shimmy down to its Baba Soul Food restaurant for exacting Phuket fare. Head chef Groyjai Borbthong recommends the tom som pla kra bok, a clear soup starring mullet married with lemongrass, kaffir and shallot. “This dish is similar to tom yum from the middle of Thailand, but in Phuket we use different ingredients such as dried garcinia instead of lime,” says Groyjai. For an embarrassingly decadent dinner, do a lobster-off here between classic Canadian lobster and its more modest Phuket sister. You know you want to.

With the dazzling Andaman Sea shimmering on all sides of Phuket, it’s no surprise seafood is a recurring theme on the peninsula. Head towards Laguna Beach to Trisara, the only five-star hotel on the island with a Thai chef, for its seafood extravaganzas, or order the freshly grilled snapper at the swanky beachside Bimi restaurant at Surin Beach, reportedly the King of Thailand’s favourite strip of sand. And don’t miss out on the crab curry or fried whole grouper with caramelised palm sugar, tamarind sauce and dried shrimp relish with lime, chilli and local Thai vegetables at Nahmyaa Restaurant at the luxe Point Yamu by Como, which shuns mainstream Thai cooking for southern Thailand dishes. Make or break the budget, one thing is for sure: you’ll never starve in this town. The writer was a guest of Swissotel Resort Phuket. Travel Info

I T ’ S A W I L D old ride on the big speedboat from Khao Lak. The massive engines roar at full speed as the sleek vessel bounces across the waves of the Andaman Sea. Some of us are enjoying the excitement of this fast, noisy thrill ride. Others, not so much. Located 50 kilometres offshore from Khao Lak, an hour by road north of Phuket, the speedboat is the only viable transport option if you want to be back at your resort for dinner. But to experience the islands with a little breathing room, it pays to delay your return. The Similan Islands, declared a national park in 1982, comprise nine uninhabited islands known for their scenic beauty, and the unusual granite features that make them look like another planet way out in the ocean. The word “similan” is derived from the regional Malay Yawi language, meaning “nine”, and the islands themselves are often referred to by their number.
So why go? The Similan Islands’ picture-postcard looks and isolation have landed them squarely on the Thailand tourism radar. By far the most popular landfall is the namesake island, Koh Similan (number eight), where dozens of fast boats wait behind the shore break while their passengers cavort in the surf, climb the rocks or stroll around the picnic and camping area just a few metres from the sand. It’s a bit of a mini D-Day landing, with guests from all over the world wading waist-deep to and from their rides, beach gear held aloft as the waves break around them. Sure, the Similans can be a bit of an effort to get to, but the islands themselves are every bit the isolated tropical dream spot. Factor in an overnight stay to get a glimpse of the

EXPLORE The Similans offer pristine beaches, clear waters and a vast underwater world of stunning coral and magnificent sea creatures
beaches without the crowds. You can book a campsite, with tent, on Koh Similan, or go for one of the slightly fancier furnished bungalows on number four, Koh Miang. Bookings can be made on the park website, and will cost around 2000 baht for bedding, a fan, or air conditioning. Book in advance, as these sites are popular. To really do these islands justice, you should take a peek underwater. The Similan Islands are internationally renowned as a great dive and snorkel location. While you can snorkel around the rocks on Koh Similan, Koh Miang offers a more pleasant experience. It’s quite common to be joined by one of the almost-tame sea turtles while you’re busy checking out the fish life below. Divers can join a dive boat for a quick day trip offering two dives. But if you are a serious diver wanting the full experience, consider one of the live-aboard vessels, which will typically spend two or three days among the islands. There are more than 20 distinct dive sites throughout the Similans,

including shallow coral reefs in the bays, perfect for snorkelling. In the waters around the islands, you can explore the famous dive sites of Elephant Rock, West of Eden, Turtle Rock and Richelieu Rock with its vast range of big and small sea life. The sites on the western side of the islands are exposed to the open ocean and dotted with large, dramatic boulders rising up 10 metres or more. There’s less coral, but the submarine environment provides ample compensation with sightings of big pelagic species such as manta rays, barracuda, or even whale sharks.
The eastern (sheltered) dive sites are covered in luminous hard corals, which line the steep slopes down to the sea floor, and offer clouds of colourful fish life to chase with your camera. Most operators will visit Elephant Head Rock at the tail of Koh Similan, which looks eerily like a giant has tossed a pile of whopping round boulders into the sea, creating a series of fun swim-throughs to explore. “Hiding in the swim-throughs are shoals of snapper, triggers, surgeons, wrasse, goatfish and lots more,” says Simon Mallender of diveplanit.com. “Even without all the fish, this is a great dive.” To do justice to some of Thailand’s best diving and to make your visit to the Similan Islands one to remember, allow a couple of days to fully explore and soak up the Andaman magic.

AUSTRALIA ON SCREEN
Snap to it The success of Crocodile Dundee prompted a flood of international and domestic visitors to the Top End when it headed global box office lists in 1986. Most of the Australian scenes were filmed in Kakadu, Australia’s largest national park, unknown even to many Australians. Images of its star Paul Hogan emerging from the Gunlom Fall’s plunge pool with a juicy barramundi on the end of his spear, or standing atop the Ubirr rock outcrops while gazing out over the Never-Never Country, made Australians wonder why they’d never added this place to their holiday plans. Early in the film, Paul’s
Mick Dundee wrestles a bogus crocodile in his local watering hole, the Walkabout Creek Hotel. The scene was filmed in the then Federal Hotel (it’s since been rebranded to match its silver screen name) in the central Queensland town of McKinlay. Dedicated fans have been known to make the ninehour drive from Townsville airport just to drink a beer at its famous bar.
SCREEN LEGENDS Above: Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee, rock pools in Kakadu National Park. Inset and right: The Whitsundays, still from Dead Calm
Dead certainty One of Australia’s best-known natural attractions is the Great Barrier Reef, and it was here that the 1989 thriller Dead Calm, starring a young Nicole Kidman and New Zealand-born actor Sam Neill,was filmed. The movie’s location looked as if it might have been miles from land in every direction. But it wasn’t. Filming was

largely undertaken in and around the Whitsundays – particularly Hamilton Island - in Queensland. Director Philip Noyce (The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games) and Oscarwinning cameraman Dean Semmler (Dances With Wolves) did well to hide the holiday resorts and charter yachts and make it appear as if Nicole and Sam’s yacht was stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Oh, and their yacht? It was the play-thing of Hamilton Island’s then-owner, Keith Williams.

OUTBACK FLICK
Over the top It was hoped that Baz Luhrmann’s Australia might boost international arrivals in the manner of Crocodile Dundee two decades earlier, enticing a few extra visitors to WA’s Kimberley region that primarily formed the cinematic backdrop. The title of the film was a little grandiose,
considering the film is set only in the Kimberley and Darwin regions. But all was not as it seemed. Thanks to generous funding from the Queensland government, the Darwin scenes were actually filmed in Bowen, an agricultural town known for its tomatoes and an oversized mango sculpture erroneously installed upside down.
Above: Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman in Australia, Kimberley scenery. Below: Clunes in Victoria, Mel Gibson as Max from Mad Max
The title was a little grandiose, considering the film is set only in the Kimberley and Darwin regions Desert duellings Coober Pedy (SA) and Broken Hill (NSW) feature in the Mad Max franchise, where the film’s creator George Miller depicted a post-apocalyptic world almost totally bereft of vegetation. But the highspeed chases in the first instalment were actually filmed on dead-straight Victorian roads west of Geelong and around Clunes.
The Mundi Mundi Plains near Broken Hill were the setting for most of the action the second time around and the director was hoping to return there for the most recent chapter, Fury Road. But excessive rainfall and the resultant burst of colour from blooming desert wildflowers meant the entire set was moved to the dusty environs of the Namib Desert. In Beyond Thunderdome, the cave of character Jebediah was set inside the Coober Pedy home of an eccentric local known as Crocodile Harry and although Harry has since passed away, you can still take a tour of his underground home.

in Broken Hill – even some of those depicting Sydney - where Mitzi, Felicia and Bernadette check into Mario’s Palace (now the Palace Hotel), whose aesthetics mirror those of its sequined and feather boa-wrapped guests. On the way they stop in Coober Pedy before continuing to the Red Centre, where filming was supposed to take place on top of Uluru. However, the producers relocated to Kings Canyon after understandable cultural misgivings were expressed by local Aboriginals.

Ziptrek Ecotour Hidden within a pine forest at the top of the Skyline Gondola, Ziptrek’s super-sized adventure playground comprises highwire zip-lines strung between a series of treehouses. Harnessed and helmeted, you will be clipped on to the wires for a speedy flight through the forest canopy – forwards, backwards, and even upside down – screeching to a halt at each platform where eco-focused commentary is provided. The four-line “Moa” tour progresses to a 240-metre line on which you may reach a speed of 50km/h. For the ultimate zipline rush, opt for the six-line “Kea” featuring the world’s steepest drop, a 300-metre descent equivalent to 30 storeys at speeds of up to 70 km/h.

Paragliding
Mountain biking Queenstown puts some serious mountains into mountain biking with epic downhill tracks, many of which can only be reached by helicopter or 4WD. Happily, mere mortals can get in on the action at Queenstown Bike Park, more than 30 kilometres of purpose-built downhill trails on the forested slopes of Ben Lomond. Hire bikes at the bottom, hitch a lift on the Skyline Gondola, then barrel down Hammy’s Track (a flowing cruise with few surprises) and work up to the double-blackdiamond rock fest of Slippery Ninja.
Want to get airborne but can’t face leaping from an aeroplane? With just a gentle run up, you’re off, soaring 500 metres above Queenstown under a parachute-like “wing”, in tandem with your trusty pilot. Lifted aloft on thermals and descending in gentle arcs, enjoying bird’s-eye views with no engine noise, no vibrations, and no window between you and the breathtaking mountain and lake scenery.

THE BIG RUSH Whether you’re jumping off a bridge or out of a plane, Queenstown offers maximum thrills for the adrenaline junkie
Bungy jumping Jumping from a great height attached to an industrial-strength rubber band was pioneered by New Zealander AJ Hackett in 1987. From his original bungy jumping base, at historic Kawarau Bridge, you can replicate this ridiculous feat with a 43-metre leap, either solo or with a friend. Take a few deep breaths and a triple shot of courage before you launch headfirst towards the swirling waters. For the mega buzz, jump Hackett’s nearby Nevis Bungy instead – a head-screwing 134-metre plummet into a rocky canyon, New Zealand’s loftiest jump with 8.5 seconds of freefall. Where: AJ Hackett Bungy, bungy.co.nz Cost: NZ$195–NZ$275. Skill level: As easy as falling off a log. Ages 10 and over. Minimum weight 35kg. Buzz factor: Fairly traumatic, but you will bounce back.
Skydiving Get ready to embrace your fear and experience the ultimate high. Yes, this is the big one, and it will give you a buzz to last a lifetime. First there’s the 15-minute flight up to 15,000 feet to one of the world’s most spectacular drop zones, high above the Southern Alps. Then there’s possibly the freakiest moment of your life – the exit – followed by 60 seconds of freefall at terminal velocity, a 200km/h rush that should pretty much blow your mind. You should be able to regroup a little during the floaty finale after the chute opens. Spare a thought for your tandem jumpmasters. For them this isn’t once in a lifetime, this is daily life. Where: Nzone Skydive, nzoneskydive.co.nz Cost: NZ$439. Skill level: Of sound mind and body. Maximum weight 100kg. Buzz factor: Extreme.

BARANGAROO
GET YOUR BEARINGS Barangaroo Reserve offers primo views of the harbour and bridge. It features 10,000 sandstone blocks trimming pathways, gardens and the waterline (the blocks were excavated during construction) and more than 75,000 native trees and shrubs. Extensive walking and cycling trails, lookouts, picnic spots and pretty little coves dot the foreshore here, but the coolest part of the park is those views. Spread your rug under a gum tree and take in never-before-seen sights of Sydney Harbour (and that bridge), from a vantage point that’s only just been landscaped into existence. Barangaroo South, at the other end, is home to office buildings, retailers and a new eat-street destination. There’s a luxury David Jones “concept” store, a Crown hotel, a high-rollers-only casino, a slick waterfrontdining precinct and a stand-alone, three-storey dining mecca by Matt Moran, all planned to open later in the year. More restaurants, a whole new commercial precinct and another city train station are planned for Barangaroo Central. Although much is still under construction, a visit will reward you with lots to do, plus a first taste of a development that’s been billed as a “once-in-a-200-year-opportunity”.
FESTIVAL FLYOVER During the Sydney Festival (7 to 26 January), The Cutaway, an enormous, sandstone-and-concrete cave of sorts, located in the hollowed-out inside of a grassy hill will become a venue for several installations. Wander the park, then head inside and grab some cardboard boxes and sticky tape, and help construct The Ephemeral City, a temporary cardboard town to be demolished in front of the crowd on Australia Day. Children can take part in workshops where they build their own miniature cardboard cities, and an enormous projection along one wall will showcase the latest work of video artist Shaun Gladwell. Watch, open-mouthed, as skateboarders attempt daring tricks on famous outdoor sculptures, in a film Shaun’s titled Skateboarders vs Minimalism. And don’t miss our favourite activity: the indoor Flying Fox. This world-first ride sails over the top of all the festivities here, offering you a bird’s-eye view of the installations and a dash of adrenaline, too. Best of all, it’s free. Just take your ticket and await your boarding call.

TASTEBUD TOUR Barangaroo Avenue is another name to remember if you are a foodie. This recently opened eat-street, located at Barangaroo South, next to Darling Harbour’s King Street Wharf, is the home of Bourke Street Bakery, Pattison’s Patisserie and cult Melbourne doughnut bakers, Shortstop. Around 90 new food and drink experiences are expected to open by October. Check out the half-indoor, half-outdoor food court The Canteen, which is like a mini gourmet town, with free Wi-Fi, Friday afternoon DJs and a veritable buffet of slick, modern bistros. Mercato e Cucina, a 900-square-foot Italian grocer, is opening soon and in April, there’ll be a new a barbershop, complete with whisky bar.
CONNECT WITH CULTURE Barangaroo is named after a Cammeraygal woman who – like her husband Bennelong – had a strong influence on colonial Sydney. But that’s far from the only piece of Indigenous heritage you’ll find here. (The streets have all been given Indigenous names, too.) Noted Aboriginal tourism leader Clarence Slockee, formerly of Gardening Australia and the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens, is running tours through the reserve. Indigenous artwork by Jonathan Jones and Aunty Esme Timbery will be on display as part of a series of 40 public pieces being progressively unveiled around the suburb.
WULUGUL WALK Wulugul Walk is a 30-metre-wide pathway that traces the entire waterline at Barangaroo. Communal gardens, entirely native foliage and that sandstone edge were designed to mimic the coastline’s pre-settlement appearance. By contrast, the semi-permanent Wulugul pop-up structure at Barangaroo South may well be the coolest contemporary spot to hang out this summer. There are several chill-out zones, plus a seaside library of books on design and culture, an edible urban garden, and some of the city’s brightest food and beverage stars serving everything from gelato to gin.
WORLD’S NUMBER ONE RESTAURANT You might have heard about Noma’s impending arrival in Sydney. This four-time winner of the prestigious World’s 50 Best Restaurant title is relocating to Barangaroo for 10 weeks, commencing at the end of January. Reservations sold out in four minutes, despite costing $485 per person (and that’s not including drinks), but if you didn’t nab a ticket, fear not, the man himself, executive chef Rene Redzepi, has promised to do something special for Sydney during his last week on the job.

s the sky darkens to a deep indigo and the last rays of the sun slip beyond the horizon, the Uluru night sky is lit by thousands of stars. The land and its iconic rocks, so dominant during the day, disappear into the dark and the night sky takes centre stage. Standing on a dune a few kilometres from Ayers Rock Resort, I’m surrounded by adults transfixed by the extraordinary night sky. Most visitors to the centre of Australia are drawn to Uluru and Kata Tjuta: two extraordinary natural formations with a profound spiritual significance for the local Anangu people. If you’ve never fully grasped the concept of Australia’s Indigenous peoples’ relationship to the land, a visit to this place is a life-changing start. Once you reach this distant location, roughly in the centre of the continent, and absolutely in its spiritual heart, you soon realise that tourism is not all about “the rock”. The night sky brings would-be astronomers (and the real thing) to Australia’s core in droves.
Stargazing is the perfect yin to the yang of daytime activities in and around the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. If you feel a wonder at the world after a day spent exploring the park (and you will), a few hours staring at the night sky will complete the conversion. At risk of using a word now downgraded to the banal, the night sky in central Australia is truly awesome. As in, you will be Filled. With. Awe. The red centre is one of the best places in Australia to view the stars. Its low humidity, lack of light pollution and clear night skies mean there is no barrier to a perfect view. Whether you simply take a walk to a viewing platform at Ayers Rock Resort, book into a stargazing session or a dinner in the dunes, the stars make their stunning appearance on schedule nightly. Melbourne Planetarium astronomer Dr Tanya Hill says that when you get away from the city lights “you can literally get lost in the stars”.“It’s magical. That moment when you stop and think about how there’s so much more out there.

• N Your curiosity is sparked and you start to ask questions and wonder…,” she says. It’s that sense of childlike wonder, so easily lost in the business of daily life, that is one of the gifts of Uluru, whether you’re cycling around the rock, taking part in a sunrise tour, or watching a bush tucker demonstration. At the Sounds of Silence, a nightly dinner in the dunes, we watch the distant Kata-Tjuta and Uluru formations slowly disappear from view accompanied by a spine-tingling live didgeridoo performance. Soon after the sun has set, our guide takes out a pointer Luke Skywalker would be envious of and begins to trace the stories of the stars in the night sky above us. Some, like the Southern Cross, are immediately familiar, but as we crane our necks and the pointer guides our eyes, the brilliant mass of stars begins to transform into shapes, each with its own story and meaning. When a new shape reveals itself, you can hear the gasps of delight. Indigenous interpretations of the night sky add a fascinating dimension – mythology, orientation and the changing of the seasons are all told in the stars. Like looking at a visual puzzle, we begin to see that it’s the shapes in the spaces between the stars that tell some of the most powerful stories. Some of these stories are shared between Indigenous communities, many have their own unique interpretation of the sky, but all offer a new way of looking at the sky, and the world. Like Tanya, who says sleeping under the stars on a bush camping trip or remote beach location is one of her favourite ways to view the night sky, I’d love to stay up all night and watch the stars fade with the dawn. But at the end of our dinner in the dunes, our stargazing session over, we head back to our hotel, tired but uplifted. Our necks might be little stiff, but it’s a small price to pay for having a brief encounter with the majesty of the universe. I’m left remembering Tanya’s simple advice. “Wherever you are at night,” she enthuses, “just remember to look up.”

CRUISING
Get in ship shape ABOUT TO TAKE YOUR FIRST HIGH SEAS HOLIDAY? HERE’S OUR INSIDER GUIDE TO GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SHIP W H E N I T C O M E S to the perfect holiday, there’s nothing quite like a cruise. Besides being great value for money, it’s a hassle-free way to visit different destinations in one trip, with no packing and unpacking. But what else do you need to know before you cast off?
The lingo Aboard these incredible floating resorts you’ll hear some new words and phrases bandied about. The front of the ship is forward, the back is aft,
86
and the middle is midships. Port is the left of the ship when facing forward, and starboard is the right. Be alert to the term safety drill, which everyone must attend at the start of the cruise. Remember too, that tenders are small boats used to ferry guests to and from shore when the ship is at anchor. As for crew, the Captain is in charge of the ship, the Cruise Director is in charge of your entertainment, and the Purser is in charge of guest services including your shipboard account. (Best to mind your manners around all of them.)
Your digs Inside staterooms don’t have a view, and while they are the least expensive accommodation on a ship, they’re not good for anyone suffering from seasickness. An ocean view stateroom will have a view through either a porthole or a picture window, while a balcony stateroom comes with a private outdoor area; an advantage for long-range or scenic cruising. Suites usually have prime positions on the upper decks forward or aft, and come with additional perks.

HIGH SEAS STYLE From left: Breakfast on a suite’s private balcony, the H20 Zone on a Royal Caribbean liner, a stateroom on Quantum Of The Seas
WE LOVE CRUISING: More than one million Australians took a cruise in 2014, compared to 22.1 million globally.
Good times Knowing where a ship’s key entertainment and dining areas are located is essential if you intend to have fun. Although ship designs differ, the main swimming pool will be on the top open deck midships, often with spa, fitness facilities, an outdoor grill and a surrounding bar. Secondary pools are usually located aft, and if your ship has an adultonly area, this will be tucked away on a top deck or aft. The ship’s main dining room will likely span one or more lower decks aft, with the main theatre above it. Casual dining buffets are usually on upper deck aft, near open decks for convenience.
The bridge This spans the entire width of a ship, from port to starboard and extending over the sides, and is home to its navigational controls and equipment. Due to changes in security regulations, the general public can’t visit the bridge unless they receive a VIP invitation from the Captain. On some ships, however, you can pay for a “behind the scenes” tour.
Getting onboard is called embarking, while getting off is disembarking. When you join your ship at the
OANNA HA
86-87_Cruising.indd 87
beginning of a cruise you’ll most likely be at a cruise terminal, and will be given a time to check in to ease congestion. Have your tickets and passports ready, and check that your luggage is properly labelled. At the end of your cruise you will likely be assigned a time to disembark and given coloured labels to identify your luggage in the terminal.
No-go zones Many places are off limits to guests, both indoors and outdoors, and they will be clearly marked “crew only” or “no guest access”, or they will be locked. Common areas include officer and crew quarters and facilities, storage facilities, restaurant galleys, crew-only elevators, and anywhere with key instruments or equipment, such as the bridge.

BIGGER IS BETTER: Most cruise ships today are at least twice the size of the Titanic. ON YOUR MARKS: Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 is the fastest cruise ship in the world, reaching speeds of 30 knots thanks to four huge diesel engines and two gas turbines. UNUSUAL FIRSTS: Queen Mary 2 also has the first planetarium at sea, the largest ballroom at sea and largest library at sea with more than 8000 books. GREENER GRASS: Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Solstice introduced the first live grass on a ship at sea with a half-acre of lawn on its upper deck. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: On the Queen Mary 2, around 700 English scones are served at High Tea each afternoon, 3.3 kilograms of Russian caviar, 73 kilograms of lobster and 344 bottles of champagne are enjoyed daily. The ship’s annual tea consumption, at 6000 cups a day, would fill an Olympic-size swimming pool.

A R T & C U LT U R E “That would be rude, wouldn’t it?” Meow Meow says. “We’ve got a beautiful playground in the Magic Mirrors Spiegeltent, it would seem impolite not to do a subversion – or a submersion, as I’ve been punning recently. It’s a fascinating and gruesome tale in its original form, so it’s not in any way like I’m dissecting a sweet fairy tale.”
In the flesh

It’s probably best to begin by describing Meow Meow’s voice. She caresses words the way a cat caresses a weary bird; playful, sultry, and just tender enough to make the peril seductive. Permit the feline reference, and some excitement. Meow Meow is coming to the Sydney Festival this month to perform her version of The Little Mermaid in the Magic Mirrors Spiegeltent. It’s the latest instalment in a career that has seen her perform everywhere from huge concert halls in Europe to tiny bars in the US. She’s worked with David Bowie, Barry Humphries, and ballet director Pina Bausch. If you’ve never seen Meow Meow (born Melissa Madden Gray) on stage, you’re in for a treat. If you have, perhaps you’ve been part of the strange electricity she creates, the slow creation of intimacy matched

by the steady removal of barriers between performer and audience. She’s addicted to crowd surfing, but her appreciation runs deeper. “I don’t always need to climb out into the audience, it’s just very hard to resist the temptation!” Meow Meow says. “They’re beautiful, my audiences, they’re so eclectic, which means the show can be different every night. If people get out of their houses and go to live theatre, I want to make sure it’s hot. I’m really obsessed with that – I want it to feel dangerous and exciting.” That is a pretty good description of her Sydney Festival show, where she will be putting her very particular spin on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale about a mermaid willing to trade life under the waves for love above them, all the while seeking to gain a human soul. Is it fair to say it isn’t going to be a straightforward adaptation?
Fairy tales packaged for modern consumption have undergone a great deal of watering down – the beloved 1989 Disney version of The Little Mermaid is, it’s fair to say, a considerably tamer take. Meow Meow’s version – the second in a series, after her 2011 adaptation of The Little Match Girl – harks back to the original, with warts and fangs and all. “I’m amazed at the amount of people who, when they hear that I’m doing The Little Mermaid, have just loved the Disney film. I must watch it, I suppose,” she says, and you can almost hear an eyebrow being raised. “I’m certainly much more interested in the tradition of sirens and strange mythological sea creatures than I am in a completely sanitised version. The Little Match Girl was an overtly political fairy tale about child poverty that resonated with me, and I think The Little Mermaid is also a political piece in terms of desire and sexuality, and the difficulties of communication. It’s hardly surprising that Meow Meow is an ardent student of cabaret, able to name-check (and perform) century-old songs back-to-back with modern works. “In my view, the definition of cabaret is super broad – I think Stephen Colbert is cabaret. The truth is that a good story and a charismatic performer can be given all sorts of labels,” she says. “When it feels like it’s blossoming and it’s exciting, that attracts people because they want to feel

rejuvenated. It gets popular again because it’s sexy too, it deals with intimacy and fleshiness, and there’s beauty but there’s also violence, and that’s a combination people always find attractive.”
Siren call Meow Meow says she is using cabaret as a springboard to look at “romantic love and modern love and to go into a world of sirens, from Cassandra to contemporary sirens”. “And that’s why I’ve chosen some of my very good friends, who fit the latter description, to work with me – Megan Washington, Kate MillerHeidke and Amanda Palmer.” She tells stories of how music crystallises into friendship, and how that translates into art – Megan Washington, for instance, will have a four-hour conversation with her and then a day later Meow Meow will find a song born from their discussion in her email inbox. “They’re a great gift of generosity, and you hang on to that because it’s quite lonely touring on the road. If someone gets you and gives you a gift of music that you can sing, you’re
linked to them – this strange breed of touring women, it’s really lovely.” And since this is a travel magazine, perhaps it is worth finding out where Meow Meow is from, famously cagey though she is. It’s been reported that she was born in Canberra and raised in Melbourne, but she swiftly puts paid to that. “No, no, absolutely not!” she says. “I like to tell the press that I was born on a bar in Berlin, and sprang fully formed and scantily clad from a bottle of absinthe. My details are very hazy and it’s best that they’re left like that.”

when applications opened. Ballkids get into it for different reasons. Most are tennis players, but some apply because they’re got a point to prove, like 15-year-old Jonathan Zarb from Geelong. “My sister was a ballkid in 2012. I play tennis and she doesn’t play tennis, and she just randomly said: ‘Oh I wanna be a ballkid’, because she saw it on TV and it looked cool. So that inspired me to start, and I was lucky enough to get in. There were about 2000 kids who tried out, and 380 got in. So it was pretty tough.”

“I saw the application online and thought it would be such a good experience, and I asked mum and she said: ‘Give it a go’.” Jake says the hardest part of the trials were the drills. “There was also nervousness, and not knowing exactly what to expect,” he says. Jake got over his nerves, and for the past three years he’s been making the annual journey to Melbourne to go through the trials, training days, and mastering his skills at the Australian Open playoff, December Showdown and Asia Pacific Tennis League Finals, before hitting the big time with the Australian Open. It’s around six weeks of work, all up. Jake is planning on a tennis career. “I train four times a week and have tournaments most weekends, so I play quite a bit of tennis. It’s pretty inspiring. After you finish (the Australian Open) you really want to get back into it even more.” This year twins Liana and Taneisha Rhodes, 15, will both be ballkids. Liana has been a ballkid for three
years, but this will be Taneisha’s first and last time, as they will both be too old next year. “When I was doing the semi-finals in 2015 Taneisha was really interested, so she tried out, and got in,” says Liana. There was a little bit of sisterly assistance involved. “I helped her with the rolling and servicing (looking after the players).” Liana has had some interesting experiences on court, including one with No. 1 ranked Serena Williams. “The funniest thing was probably when I had to do the shades for Serena and Venus Williams. I didn’t know how to do them and I nearly hit Serena Williams in the head. It was televised as well, so hopefully it didn’t get on TV,” she says. Liana has been playing tennis for five years. She joined to “experience being up close to the players” and she’s got her wish, citing her best experience so far being picked to do a 2014 semi-final. “It was my first time on Rod Laver Arena and just being up close to Andy Murray and Tomas Berdych was amazing,” she says.

Fast ballkid facts: • Ballkids don’t get paid; instead they receive a gift pack at the end of the Australian Open. Past gifts include headphones, speakers and cameras.
• Ballkid squads have one hour on, one hour off. During their off-time they hang in the ballkid hub, which is complete with video games and TVs. • To beat the heat they wear a special padded necktie, soaked in cool water and wrung out before wear.
• Ballkids work eight hours a day, with four hours spent on court.
• Ballkids must have a strong understanding of tennis, excellent communication skills, agility, outstanding hand-eye coordination, balance and a great attitude. • You don’t have to be a tennis player to be a ballkid (though most are).
EYE ON THE BALL Jonathan Zarb in action. Right; Liana Rhodes waits at the ready
Ready to roll In case you’re wondering, ballkids do witness the wrong call occasionally – and there’s not a thing they can do about it. “Sometimes if they make a wrong call, and you’re there, and you can see that it’s actually in, it’s pretty frustrating, you know, like ‘you made the wrong call’. Sometimes it is match point and they could have had another chance of winning, but you can’t say anything,” says Liana. Taneisha started playing tennis two years ago and is excited about what awaits. “I’m looking forward to being on court with the players,” she says. “I applied two years ago and I didn’t make it. I made a silly mistake and didn’t try it again, but I tried again this year and got in.” Her advice for wanna-be ballkids: “Try

your best, if you don’t get in the first year, always apply next year, you might get in.” Jonathan Zarb will be a member of this year’s 26-strong Ballkid Leadership team, and will mentor the 2016 newbies like Taneisha. He’s also reached the tip of the Ballkid experience: a final on Rod Laver Arena. “Last year I did the men’s final between Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. It was amazing,” he says. “Going onto court I thought: ‘Oh my gosh, this is so real’, but after the first few games it was just amazing. Beforehand I was thinking about it so much, what if I stuff up? Everybody is going to see. “But once you get out on court it’s just business as usual. You’ve got to roll and you’ve just got to focus.”

Launched in July 2012 at a cost of 10 billion Japanese yen (roughly AU$113 million) Robot Restaurant pays tribute to all that’s weird and wonderful about Japan. Manga characters, ninjas, pandas, samurais, geishas, pyrotechnics, laser lights, giant floats, techno music and animatronics come together in the latest 90-minute show, which opened last November. It’s over the top, loud, outrageously fun and possibly the most entertaining cabaret show you’re ever likely to see. The restaurant itself isn’t much to look at: a narrow rectangular space dominated by two walls of video
screens and low-rise tiered seating that is at turns oddly reminiscent of a school gym, a telethon and a Japanese game show. Calling it a restaurant is also a stretch. It’s more akin to being at an American ball game. Retro carts with freshly made popcorn and fairy floss are wheeled out at intervals along with sake, beer and soft drink. There is sushi too, but one look at the four cup holders in the cafeteria-style metal trays affixed to the seats and it’s clear food isn’t the focus here. Just as well too. It’s hard to keep your mouth shut with so much going on so close. Whiplash is a distinct

possibility, sensory overload too. A frenetic drum-off between rock chicks wearing rainbow mullets and stick-wielding samurai on a taiko (traditional drum) float festooned in neon lights is followed closely by a guitar-strumming headlamp-eyed swamp monster, acrobatic dancing girls, geishas and a graceful red Chinese dragon. There’s barely enough room for them all, let alone time to digest what’s going on, before they disappear into the wings to be replaced by a ghostly samurai war march, a creepy masked clown dance and a cool Tron light suit hip hop
routine to a Michael Jackson medley. By the time the main act is underway, one thing is certain - if there is such a thing as Japanese kitsch, Robot Restaurant has it in droves. It’s in the kawaii (cute) dancing girls and even cuter island robot invasion narrative told via the big screen, the enthusiastic Englishspeaking voiceovers (of which there are many) and the futuristic battle between cheering girls astride giant animals and swaggering robots riding laser-shooting, smoke-spewing, metal beasts. As the battle draws to a close and the robots flail and die in the most fantastic ways – one in the macramé cobweb of a giant spider, another carted away in the mouth of a shark - you’re left cheering and laughing at how far this schtick is willing to go. It’s unabashedly, wonderfully cheesy. Even the long-winded, slowmoving parade at the end – an exercise, it seems, in how many cast members and floats can cram into a really tiny space that’s not a Tokyo train carriage at peak hour – isn’t enough to dampen the fun.
Head to Kabukicho at night and immerse yourself in the futuristic vibes that inspired the set design of Ridley Scott’s cult classic film Blade Runner. See how many micro bars you can squeeze into. There are more than 257 in the tiny two-kilometre radius of Golden Gai, including filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s favourite, La Jetée. Join the throng at Shinjuku Station. It’s officially the busiest station in the world with an average 3.64 million passengers per day. For the best sunset views, head 51 storeys high to the New York Bar at the Park Hyatt Hotel. Killer views and cocktails make this a must-stop. Get there before 8pm Monday to Saturday and 7pm Sunday to avoid the cover charge. Visit Kagurazaka, one of Japan’s few remaining Geisha districts, for a taste of old Kyoto.
Robot Restaurant has four shows daily – 3:20pm, 5:15pm, 7:20pm and 9:05pm. Tickets are ¥7,000 ($80) and ¥1,000 ($11) for the sushi meal. For specials and discounts, book online at shinjuku-robot.com

W H A T I S I T ? A theme park that caters to every age, height and need. T E S T D R I V E Toddlers, and those too short for adult rides often miss out at theme parks, but Wet ‘n’ Wild offers pint-sized versions of popular rides. Younger kids can tackle the scaled-down Tornado and my two-year-old happily splashed in the wading pool. I spent a delightful
hour lazing on a float around Calypso Bay. D O N ’ T M I S S Head for the Tornado. You’ll be dropped into a 40-metre log tunnel and spun madly around, laughing and screaming so hard your sides will hurt. T I P S Arrive at least 30 minutes before opening to be the first on the rides. CY W H E R E Gold Coast, Queensland I N F O wetnwild.com.au
W H A T I S I T ? Asia’s very first LEGOLAND is spread across 76 acres with more than 40 interactive rides and 20 waterslides. T E S T D R I V E To his endless amusement, my twoyear-old son surprised unassuming bystanders with the water-squirting Merlion in Miniland. The junior driving school won over my three-year-old girl, who zipped around the
small track like a veteran race-car driver. D O N ’ T M I S S LEGO CITY for hands-on activities ranging from putting out fires to driving LEGO vehicles. T I P S The park is fairly new and shade is hard to find. A pit stop at the 4D cinema or waterpark will help. EB W H E R E Nusajaya, Johor, Malaysia, 55 minutes from Singapore airport I N F O legoland.com.my
W H A T I S I T ? A worldrenowned theme park located on Singapore’s spectacular Sentosa Island. T E S T D R I V E Get in touch with your inner child in seven themed areas. My kids were too young for the Jurassic Park Rapids, but I relished the soaking. My toddler loved the Sesame Street show and the whole family enjoyed the highenergy Waterworld show.
My other favourite grownup ride was Revenge of the Mummy, an indoor rollercoaster in complete darkness. D O N ’ T M I S S The Lake Hollywood Spectacular had our feet tapping and our hands clapping. T I P S Some rides can be scary for little ones. EB W H E R E Sentosa, Singapore I N F O rwsentosa.com
W H A T I S I T ? Movie World is Queensland’s answer to Universal Studios in LA. T E S T D R I V E Walking down Main Street is like being on a film set. Thrill rides, entertainment and a kids’ zone guarantee fun for the whole family (trust me, seeing Batman in the flesh is exciting at any age). D O N ’ T M I S S The All Star Parade and the actionpacked Hollywood Stunt
Driver 2 show. We loved the Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster, though it was only on the second time round that my youngest dared open his eyes. T I P S In school holidays queues are unavoidable. Food is pricey, but don’t underestimate the novelty of themed restaurants. DE W H E R E Gold Coast, Queensland I N F O movieworld.com.au

No, it’s Hong Kong’s best-loved amusement park combining marine and animal exhibits with live entertainment, rollercoasters and thrill rides.

W H A T I S I T ? Built to resemble a town from Japan’s feudal Edoperiod (1603-1868), Edo Wonderland looks more like a samurai movie set than a theme park. T E S T D R I V E You won’t find roller coasters or thrill rides but you will find ninja. Loads of ’em! In fact, you may feel like you’ve joined an old-school Japanese fight club as you
take on the park’s obstacle courses, labyrinths, secret passages, revolving doors and traps. D O N ’ T M I S S Train as a ninja complete with a ropes course and throwing stars. There’s even a junior version. T I P S It’s not the place for thrill ride fans. ADW W H E R E Nikko, Tochigi INFO edowonderland.net/en/

Water world Away from the rice paddies and the temples, Michael Ward and his family experience the adrenaline rush of a waterslide, or two
T
he Balinese waterslide attendant is smiling. But it is a knowing smile. Twenty metres and 200 steps above me is a waterslide called the Climax. “First time?” the guy asks, reading my apprehension with professional ease. I try to grin, but it’s more like a grimace. He laughs: “See you soon!” Here’s what happens on the Climax: you step into an open chamber at the top of an almost vertical tube. Next, the upper half of the chamber closes over you, sealing you inside (did someone say coffin?). A moment later, the floor disappears and you’re hurtling towards the ground at 70 km/hr. Then you are propelled around a horizontal 360-degree loop, the physics of which are supposed to slow you down (yeah, right). Finally, you’re spat out the end of the tube amid a spray of water. The Climax lasts seven seconds. I start my climb up the tower, but with every step I can’t help wondering what I am doing here. This is the first time my wife and I have taken our young family overseas. As much as we’ve tried to foster their interest in Bali’s temples and volcanoes, fire dances and rice fields, it’s Kuta’s Waterbom water park that looks set to be the highlight of our children’s holiday. The park opened in 1993, boasting more than a dozen waterslides set amongst 3.8 hectares of lush, landscaped gardens. It’s an oasis amid

What’s preferable, sheer terror or mild humiliation, I wonder?
Kuta’s frantic buzz; a welcome escape from the heat and the traffic. We begin the day lounging on inflatable orange tubes, drifting past jungle waterfalls on the sedate Lazy River. Afterwards, while my four-
year-old daughter frolics on some toddler-friendly slides, I escort my twin six-year-old boys to the mouth of the Constrictor, a bright green waterslide billed as the longest in the world. They love it. Jetstar.com

Gravity, of course, is essential to any waterslide. And for gravity to do its thing, height is necessary. That means lots of steps, which is fine, except that I quickly find myself lugging my own bright orange inflatable tube, and the boys’ tubes. With one tube around my neck and the other two encircling my shoulders, I look like the Michelin Man with a fake tan. After the Constrictor, there are the Green Vipers, the pale blue Pipeline and the Python, but higher up the waterslide tower await the Fast ‘n’ Fierce and Smash Down 2.0. They require stronger nerves. The Fast ‘n’ Fierce combines speed and speed bumps for an unexpectedly airborne experience. But the adrenaline rush is all over in a handful of seconds, and I’m left with board shorts wedged a little further up my waist than is comfortable. Unluckily (or luckily) for the boys, they’re restricted from the Fast ‘n’ Fierce due to the 122cm height requirement. After lunch, the kids take to the Funtastic aquatic playground and I investigate two of Waterbom’s more unconventional waterslides. Swirling within the enormous orange and yellow Superbowl is akin to being flushed down a more familiar kind of bowl, speed and centrifugal force spinning me around the rim repeatedly until I decelerate enough to gurgle down the final tube. I hoot like a loon. The Boomerang is next door, its sudden 20-metre drop propelling my inflatable raft out of the tube, into the open air and up an enormous curved wall. I fear I’m about to sail right over the wall’s edge. I’m clambering from the water after a third fling when the rest of the family appear. “Hey, who wants to go on Lazy River again?” I ask. “What about that one Dad?” asks

I’m left with board shorts wedged a little further up my waist than is comfortable one of my sons, pointing. My chest tightens. He’s talking about the Climax. “Go on Dad!” goads my other son. Now the kids are all looking at me expectantly. I turn and look up at the Climax. From the top of its tower comes a muffled shriek. “Okay guys,” I hear myself saying huskily. “Check this out.” The kids beam. My wife rolls her eyes. I ascend the steps, trying to concentrate on the view. Kuta from above appears swathed in greenery. The sea sparkles in the distance. A dozen thrill seekers wait at the top. I can see the kids far below. What’s preferable, sheer terror or mild humiliation, I wonder? There’s another squeal of fear ahead of me as the floor disappears beneath the next thrillseeker’s feet. The line inches forward. My descent via the stairs only takes a minute. The Balinese guy is still smiling, but the kids look disappointed. An antiClimax. “Sorry, the line was too long,” I mumble. The kids peer at the Climax and then back at me. “Were you scared Dad?” asks my daughter. “No, no, I just didn’t want to keep you waiting. Now, um, who wants an ice cream?” But the kids aren’t buying it. Not for a moment.

Get your summer body on point! Our bodies have a natural acid/alkaline balance which determines the pH level in our cells. It has been proven that our typical diet can cause a greater acid load in our body which can cause an imbalance. As our pH level controls our whole metabolic function, we need to consume more alkalising foods and less acidic foods; as we function best when slightly alkaline. An easy way to alkalise is by taking Morlife Alkalising Greens pH7.3. Available in health food stores or visit www.alkalisinggreens.com

Performing the WugulOra Ceremony in Sydney on Australia Day
MORE
A U S T R A L I A D AY Australia’s national day is acknowledged in many different ways across the country. In recognition of the traditional owners of the land and the world’s longest living culture, the massive Australia Day celebrations in Sydney open with an Indigenous ceremony on the Northern Boardwalk in front of the Sydney Opera House. The WugulOra Ceremony is officiated by the Gadigal people, the original inhabitants of the harbour. In the language of the Eora nation, WugulOra means “one mob”. The ceremony honours the many different “mobs” that now call Australia home. As the dance concludes, the Aboriginal flag is raised with the Australian flag on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, visible to the thousands of people celebrating on and around the harbour that day. Jetstar offers regular flights to Sydney from across the network. Visit Jetstar.com to book your family escape.

DAV I D H A L L , C E O , J E T STA R AU ST R A L I A AND NEW ZEALAND Millions of Jetstar customers help change lives every year through our charitable partnership, StarKids – an initiative I’m really passionate about. Together with our team members and the support of the Jetstar business, close to $2 million was raised last year to give children a brighter future in some of the world’s poorest communities. To see where some of these donations go, I travelled with a group of Jetstar team mates to Cambodia to discover how StarKids is improving childhood health, supporting education, and helping communities rebuild after the tragic events of the past. It was truly inspiring. So I want to thank you. Your generosity in donating to StarKids when you book a ticket online and when you’re on-board has made this possible. Your small change is making a big change. starkids.jetstar.com 122

A joyful reunion With support from StarKids, street children in Myanmar gain a second chance at life
MYANMAR
Left: Fifteen-year-old Ko Pyae is happy to be home with his family. Right: Ko Pyae is one of 21 street children the project helped to reconcile with their families
M A N D A L AY I S M YA N M A R ’ S S E C O N D largest city and home to thousands of street children struggling to survive without shelter and caring adults to protect them. A troubled family life led Ko Pyae*, now 15, to the streets at just nine years of age. His father abandoned the family soon after Ko Pyae was born and he had a difficult relationship with his uncle at home. To help earn family income, Ko Pyae started helping his grandmother at a street stall and from there drifted into life on the streets. What started out as an adventure quickly turned sour. He became a target for bullies when he refused to do what they told him to. “I could not get enough food...sleep.”

One day he joined other street kids at a drop-in centre supported by StarKids through World Vision’s Mandalay street children’s project. There he received regular meals and healthcare, and joined in informal education. After tracing his family, the project arranged for Ko Pyae to return home. His mother was filled with joy to see her son return and grateful he had been cared for by World Vision. “Now my son is happy at home. I promise to care for my son ... and educate him,” she says. Ko Pyae is one of many street kids in Mandalay gaining a brighter future with the help of generous StarKids supporters.

The flying Peanuts This summer, keep an eye out for the special Snoopy aircraft flying friends across Australia
Saving the weedy seadragon
T O C E L E B R AT E T H E A R R I VA L of Snoopy and the gang on our screens in The Peanuts Movie on New Year’s Day, Jetstar and 20th Century Fox worked together to create a special Peanuts aircraft. The colorful Jetstar A320 features the smiling faces of all the old favourites from the world’s most beloved comic strip. Snoopy and Charlie have been best friends now for over 60 years, and at Jetstar we believe in the importance of friendship. “The theme of the Peanuts movie is to ‘Dream Big’ and the storyline celebrates being reunited with friends,” explains Catriona Larritt, Jetstar Group Chief Commercial Officer. “Our everyday low fares make it possible for family and friends both in Australia and internationally to reunite at any of our
126
75 destinations across Asia Pacific, so this is a great brand partnership.” Jetstar is proud to be partnering with 20th Century Fox to fill the skies with happiness. For the grand unveiling of the plane, Jetstar flew a group of kids and their best friends to a screening of The Peanuts Movie. On board was nine-yearold Jeffrey, on his first ever flight. “The plane was awesome,” Jeffrey says. “We got to go out on the tarmac to see Snoopy painted on the side and they even had Peanuts music playing inside.” The Snoopy Aircraft has been busy reuniting best friends across Australia this summer. Take advantage of our everyday low fares today to surprise yours.
While dragons may be the stuff of legend, Weedy Seadragons are real and just as enchanting. Professor David Booth has been under these threatened creatures’ spell since 2002 and researches them without funding. His specialist work has the potential to prevent them from vanishing. David observes changes in the growth, numbers and reproductive activities of these unique animals. Helped by the Underwater Research Group and Kogarah’s Abyss Diving, his team has submitted their discoveries to four international papers. Weedy Seadragons are a treasured part of South-Eastern Australia’s marine environment and Kooks Wine is happy to support David’s work. Your enjoyment of Kooks Wine today will ensure that these elegant animals keep adding wonder to our world. Learn more at seadragonresearch.com.

WELLBEING
Your inflight safety and comfort Keeping safe and having an enjoyable Jetstar* flight Your safety comes first There are a few simple things you can do to make sure you have a safe flight: • Watch the pre-flight safety demonstration. Even if you’ve seen it before, it may differ depending on the aircraft you are on. A refresher will help you remember the instructions more easily in an emergency. • Keep your seatbelt fastened when you’re seated – it’s the best protection in case of unexpected turbulence. When the seatbelt sign is on, you’re required by law to have your seatbelt fastened. • Stow your carry-on luggage and larger electronic devices in the overhead locker or under the seat in front of you whenever the seatbelt sign is on. • Sleeping on the aircraft floor is not permitted. Smoking is not permitted on board Government regulations prohibit smoking on all flights operated by Australian-registered aircraft. There are smoke detectors in all toilets and penalties for regulation breaches. Intoxication and disorderly behaviour Boarding an aircraft when drunk is against the law. If you’ve had too much to drink before a flight you may jeopardise the safety of the aircraft, and we will refuse
to let you board the aircraft. You’re not permitted to consume your own alcohol on board. The only alcohol you may consume on board an aircraft is that provided by the cabin crew. Qantas Group security – keeping you safe The Qantas Group ensures that its passengers, staff and aircraft are safe and secure through an outcomefocused, risk-based approach to security management. Qantas security standards apply across the business including QantasLink and Jetstar. A dedicated Operations Centre monitors global security events 24 hours a day. The Qantas Group has a strict policy of denying boarding or offloading any passenger who makes inappropriate comments or behaves inappropriately in flight or on the ground. Jetstar will not accept any inappropriate comments as ‘jokes’. All matters deemed inappropriate will be referred to the relevant authorities for prosecution. Jetstar will also seek to recover from those involved all costs incurred as a result of security incidents. Your inflight health Some studies have found that lack of movement over time could contribute to blood clots forming in the legs (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT). If you feel you could be at risk from DVT or other health problems, see your doctor before you travel.
To reduce the risk of DVT, you should: • Avoid sitting with crossed legs • Drink plenty of water during the flight • Minimise alcohol and caffeine intake before and during your flight • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes • During the flight, move your legs and feet for three to four minutes per hour while seated and move around the cabin occasionally. Additional measures such as well-fitted compression stockings or anti-clotting medication may be recommended for high-risk individuals. Pack safe for your next flight Next time you fly, remember these important safety guidelines for your baggage: • Make sure you pack your own luggage. • Common items such as batteries, aerosols and lighters become dangerous at altitude. Ensure you are aware of dangerous goods restrictions and don’t pack any of these items in either your carry-on or checked baggage. • There are restrictions on the liquids, aerosols and gels you carry on board (for international flights the limit is often containers of 100ml or less, packed in a transparent plastic bag for screening). Ensure you are aware of the requirements before you go to the airport. For further information, check jetstar.com

Seinfeld Marketing Guy Delivers Miracle Sales Increases for Aussie Businesses! GOLD COAST SEMINARS TO SHOW BUSINESS OWNERS HOW TO EASILY ATTRACT NEW CLIENTS - ONLINE & OFFLINE! Jerry Seinfeld gets hundreds of requests from businesses around the world, asking him to endorse their products. He says no to 99% of them. One exception was a proposal from Australian marketing guru, John Dwyer, who shocked the marketing world when he coaxed Jerry Seinfeld out of retirement to be the spokesman for one of his clients, the Greater Building Society. This was a coup of gigantic proportions.
“Wow Client Attraction Formula” Works For Any Industry! Dwyer is a marketing maverick – his “thinking” is refreshingly unconventional and very different from most advertising agencies. It’s based on “emotional direct-response” techniques – both online and offline. Dwyer says, “When you’ve done as much marketing for all sorts of businesses as I have, you learn what works and what doesn’t. And as a result of years of testing ideas, I have created a Client Attraction System that enjoys incredible sales results.” Owners of both large and small businesses have heralded Dwyer’s Wow Client Attraction Formula as ingenious and it has been proven to work across more than 50 industries.
Butcher Makes An Extra $1 Million From One Of Dwyer’s Wow Ideas! And the campaign delivered whopping dividends to the building society, with its home loan market share tripling in just 24 months. Even Seinfeld himself said Dwyer “was the cleverest marketing person he had ever worked with.” Now THAT’S an endorsement! Dwyer is an “in-demand” business marketing coach and speaker, who has an extraordinary record of massively increasing sales for businesses. He is a much sought-after keynote speaker for industry and company conventions. His business is aptly called The Institute Of Wow and he holds world records for the avalanche sales increases he has delivered to clients like Channel 9 (world ratings record), KFC, News Ltd., Westfield, the NRL and Madura Tea – just to name a few. And he’s revealing his “Wow Marketing System” to business owners at his 1 Day Event: • Gold Coast - Tuesday 23 February, 2016 • Gold Coast - Tuesday 22 March, 2016 His clients refer to him as “The Business Whisperer”, as his advice has transformed many businesses virtually overnight. One Sydney tourism business saw annual sales skyrocket from $10m to $14m with just one of his “outside the box” ideas.
142-160_IFE_Movies-books-mags.indd 159
Regional NSW butcher, Kerry Buttsworth, says “My annual turnover across three stores catapulted from $3 million to over $4 million because of one brilliant marketing idea he gave me! The best return on any investment in my entire life!” (Details at www.fuelyoursales.com.au)
Restaurant Profits Go From $120,000 to $440,000 In One Year! Sanctuary Cove restaurant owner, Steve Fenton, says, “My annual profit skyrocketed from $120,000 to $440,000 because of John’s incredibly powerful step by step marketing formula. He’s a genius without equal I believe!”
1 DAY - “HOW TO ATTRACT NEW CLIENTS” • GOLD COAST - TUES 23 FEBRUARY, 2016 • GOLD COAST - TUES 22 MARCH, 2016
Tickets are normally $497 for this 1 Day Seminar, but as a special offer for our magazine readers, a limited number of tickets are available for just $97 per person and can be gained at www.explodeyoursales.com.au At this event, Dwyer will also be showing business owners how to create a website that “sells”. Dwyer says, “About 90% of business websites are woeful, they are simply information centres and have none of the persuasive direct-response inclusions that turn visitors into buyers. At my event I’ll be demonstrating how easy it is to fix your website and turn it into a 24/7 sales machine.” The event covers both “business to business” and “business to consumer” marketing ideas.
Sign Company Doubles Sales In A Month! Trond Smith of Adphence Signage implemented Dwyer’s system and says, “Within just a month, my sales had doubled. Not only did his system create more leads, but it also increased my conversion rate from 25% to nearly 80%.”
Get tickets from www.explodeyoursales.com.au Or phone 07 55 919 566 Dwyer’s coaching programs for businesses are detailed at www.theinstituteofwow.com
