ot only are we blessed to live in the N world’s most liveable city, I’m convinced we also live in one of the world’s most
appetising cities. Melbourne’s distinctive café culture is making waves around the world, spreading the cult of avo smash and flat whites from Brooklyn to London. Our fine diners are recognised on international best-restaurant lists, while the quality and diversity of our mid-range eateries would give many global cities a run for their money. And our magnificent fresh-food markets draw oohs and aahs from overseas visitors. If we needed any more convincing, the new darling of TV cooking, the charming Rachel Khoo – she of the fire-engine red lipstick and cute-as-a-button retro cardigans – has abandoned her tiny Paris kitchen and chosen Melbourne as the destination for her latest food series. Peter Wilmoth caught up with her while she was here to find out what she thought of our local food scene. You can read about her favourite local foodie haunts in this week’s cover story. ●

VIRGINIA TRIOLI ON SWEET DECEIT
by midday, and the resort breakfast buffet is the jailbreak of the released and desperate worker. At our hotel breakfast room each morning, right next to the make-your-own espresso machine, are bottles of champagne piled on ice. The first time I saw them, at 7am, I rolled my eyes at the thought of boozing so early. Then I saw the unembarrassed line of holidaygoers pleasantly queuing to get their eye-opener. Each morning so far those bottles have not been unattended. Amazing. OK, so I can talk – me with my mid-morning holiday beer thing. But I nonetheless stand in awe and a considerable degree of horror at the amount people eat on holidays, at what they eat, and what they go on eating during the day. Of course, it might not be a holiday thing at all. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, almost two out of three Australian adults are overweight or obese, as are one in four children. That’s a lot of crap food being consumed a lot of the time to reach those numbers. (Someone

he hotel breakfast buffet is a thing of wonder. And horror. The mountain ranges of pastries. The deep pools of yoghurt and berries. The scalding tide of scrambled eggs with their hot heaps of bacon, sausages and mushrooms. I always imagine the armies of chefs and minions that have been scurrying behind the scenes for hours before dawn, hashing browns (or browning hash), grilling tomatoes and cutting pieces of exotic fruit into increasingly tortured shapes and sizes. I also imagine the kid that got the job of pouring boxes of commercial breakfast cereal into large glass samovars that then require specially printed labels indicating what each clearly identifiable carbohydrate is. Do they wonder, as I do: Why can’t we just serve it in the bloody box? While working weeks rival military exercises in timing, precision and discipline, the holiday weeks almost immediately become a kind of prison day-release of indulgence and self-indulgence. I know I’m on holidays when I have a beer in my hand

“fattist” but while some incidences of obesity are genuinely beyond some people’s control, the medical community unanimously believes that weight can be controlled by diet and exercise. And when you’re piling into the pastries and the bacon and the sausages and the potatoes you are also stacking the deck against yourself in the high-stakes game of health and longevity. I know I have previously mentioned a piece
of enduring wisdom from the wonderful Margaret Fulton, who puts the obesity epidemic down to portion control. I can make an argument that food today is no more fatty or sugary than food in my parents’ day – even with the advent of fast food. My parents’ common consumption of animals fats – including lard and dripping – cakes, biscuits and puddings (every evening, mind you) were incredibly high in butter and sugar. But they simply ate less than we do. One slice of cake versus a muffin as big as a C-cup; your evening meal plated for you, and therefore portion controlled, versus all you can eat. The piled-high plates of extraordinarily fatty food at my breakfast buffet puts my fellow guests well in front of their lard-consuming forebears in many respects: physically, calorifically and way down the path to a future of ill health that neither they nor we can afford. Happy holidays. ● Virginia Trioli is co-host of ABC News Breakfast on ABC1 and ABC News 24, 6-9am weekdays

hen she was trying to sell the idea for her cooking show to production companies a few years ago, it didn’t take long for Rachel Khoo to develop a strong suspicion of those who thought playing on her sex appeal might be a marketing winner. “I noticed when I was going around the production companies there was a tendency to push you into a very sexualised [area]. I am who I am and I didn’t want to be made into some caricature. Queen of Tarts. That says it all.” “Queen of Tarts” was the name for the show suggested by one producer. She didn’t pursue that one. “I just said, ‘No. I’m not working with you’.” She also mentions the headline on a piece about her on a news website: “Sexy chef happy to hustle for fame”. “I tell my mum, ‘Please don’t read anything’. OK, it’s very flattering that people think I’m sexy but it’s also very derogatory in terms of your work and how hard you work. Maybe everything’s so visual these days but I find it difficult. Maybe I should just wear a sack.” Rachel, 34, is TV’s latest food-presenting star: indeed as one London newspaper called her, “a global cooking sensation”. It’s not hard to see why publishers and television production companies have pursued her: alongside cooking smarts, drawing skills from her art and design background (her drawings grace her books) and her obvious love of food, Rachel – helped along by her penchant for retro-vintage dresses – projects an irresistible olde-worlde charm. One British journalist called her “a modern Audrey Hepburn”. We’ve met at the Lyall Hotel in South Yarra on a warm autumn morning. She’s just finished filming a new eight-part series for SBS called Rachel Khoo’s Kitchen Notebook: Melbourne, in which she explores the local food culture on which the city prides itself. She’s a warm presence and seemingly unaffected by the attention she receives. She pulls her new book, Rachel Khoo’s Kitchen Notebook, out of her bag and hands it to me – a task usually undertaken by a public relations person – and says she hopes I enjoy it. Melbourne, says Rachel, was a natural choice for the series. “When we discussed doing a TV show in Australia other places were thrown up and people said, ‘You’ve got to come to Melbourne’. Sydney came up – sorry if you’re from Sydney. I said, ‘I’ve been to Melbourne before, I have a lot of friends in the food scene there and I know it’s a really vibrant and diverse scene’. And, in terms of representing what’s happening, this is the place to be.” She grew up in London with an Austrian

mother and a Malaysian father. “It was mainly Asian – Malaysian and Chinese – with the odd schnitzel thrown in,” she says of the family food. “And, on when in the weekend, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding Melbourne or roast lamb with mint sauce. It was like the United Nations on the table.” POPE JOAN \ BRUNSWICK EAST She later worked in public relations, “We went to [British chef Matt Wilkinson’s] vegetable allotment as an au pair and sold perfume in a and he was saying, ‘There’s a pomegranate tree, there’s a peach tree’. department store before moving to Settlers had planted the trees and he said it was such a shame that people Paris, where she lived for eight years. just don’t use the fruit.

The sheer simplicity of the idea, or CHINATOWN “Local chef Tony Tan showed me around. He knows a lot about the the allure of a Paris apartment – history of Chinatown … told the story of the Gold Rush and the [Chinese] settlers however tiny – made it a ratings and the influence they had.

One woman said, ‘As long as there’s no cow’s head’. I said, ‘Don’t’ worry, I couldn’t fit that in my oven’.”
their home food, and we’d get Mexican, Italian foods … all sorts. It doesn’t matter where I go in the world, when it comes to food people always light up.” The new series will feature Rachel living in Melbourne like a local, in an inner-city apartment, cooking some of the recipes she has found on her travels in Victoria. In a show that is a mix of food showcase and travelogue, she visits Lygon Street, Brunswick Street, Chinatown (with local chef Tony Tan), picks fruit at an orchard in the Yarra Valley, samples local produce on the Bellarine Peninsula, stops for coffee in numerous cafés, samples from a gourmet food truck and goes bike riding around St Kilda. She meets local families – including from the Italian and Vietnamese cultures – spending time in their kitchens. “It’s overwhelming the diversity you have here – from Italian, Greek, Malaysian – young chefs doing their own thing,” she says. “It’s a really vibrant good scene.” Since childhood Rachel’s great passion has been pastry. “I did a lot of baking with Mum as a kid. And Grandma would make strudel; making the dough was very complicated.” She likes the social nature of pastry. “For me food is not just about eating; I love the social aspect of it.” After eight years in Paris, Rachel now lives in London. She declines to talk about a partner in her life but she will say how much she’s looking forward to a short break in Bali. “I’m looking forward to no make-up, and I’m going try some surfing and some yoga.” I ask for her impressions of Australian food, and suggest that Italian seems to be our national cuisine. “I still can’t put my finger on what Australian food is,” she says. “I think it’s

aving enjoyed the restaurant experience and wondering how she could take her cooking further, she emailed some publishers and, out of 10 emails, scored three meetings. After negotiating a book deal with Penguin, she then sold the idea of a cooking show based in her little Paris apartment to the BBC. She has now published five cookbooks and the Melbourne programs are her fifth TV series. Earlier this year she was part of a BBC series called A Cook Abroad, in which she travelled to Malaysia to cook with her extended family at her uncle’s house. For Rachel, it was using food as a way of connecting. “What I love is you can explore a different culture through the food,” she says. “Food really brings people together. Everybody has an opinion about food and it’s a softer way to get to know people instead of asking these hard questions.” Did she feel Malaysian on the trip? “I definitely felt a connection but, because I don’t speak Bahasa Malaysia or Cantonese or Hokkien, the dialect my family speak, it’s still jarring a bit, whereas when I go to Austria I speak German.” She is convinced of food’s capacity to bring people together. “I remember when I was studying French at La Sorbonne and there was another English girl in the class and we immediately became best friends because we were both British. We had to do a presentation about our culture in French. I said, ‘Let’s do scones and tea-time’. So we did. Then everybody started to do presentations about
still trying to find its identity. That’s what’s exciting about Australian food – there are no rules and people can be creative. “What’s being created now is this new melting pot of culinary history.” Rachel’s career trajectory has been swift. She is powering forward in books, television and on social media where she has legions of followers. The only ripple on her golden pond seems to be how some media chooses to position women in the media. In 2012 the London Evening Standard couldn’t quite contain itself, saying she was “charming everyone from French fishermen to besotted viewers”, going on to say: “Watch out Gordon [Ramsay]. She’s prettier than you and a lot more seductive”. Still, she seems well equipped to handle the heat and has no interest in ceding control or being objectified. “With all my projects I’m very hands-on, I’m not just a pretty face in front of the camera,” she says. “Even though I like pretty clothes and I like lipstick – that’s who I am. I’ve done consulting, teaching pâtisserie, I am educated and I want to project an image where there’s substance behind the style.” ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au » Rachel Khoo’s Kitchen Notebook: Melbourne premieres on SBS1 on July 23 at 8pm.

t was a Sunday morning. The line of people stretched up the street and wrapped around the corner and we thought maybe someone had been hurt or there was a major stocktake sale somewhere. When we followed the people trail a little further along, the situation became clear. Obvious signs included girls with bob cuts and fringes, boys in brogues and buns and a smattering of lads holding onto the idea of the Kelly beard still being cool. That’s when we realised we were passing a new charcuterie and all the hipsters were lining up for their blood sausage and smashed avo breakfasts. Why would you line up for breakfast, said one of the kids, who is usually handed hers fresh out of the toaster by waiter mum or waiter dad and if someone else is sitting on her preferred seat they get a whack. Why would you go out for breakfast at all, I said. Why indeed, would anyone choose to get up and get dressed and speak to people before they have a coffee when you can have it at home in your pyjamas, in bed with the
newspapers and stay there at least for the amount of time it takes child No.2 to get through a standard 90-minute DVD. Please can we go somewhere where we can get a seat straight away, said one of the several indiscriminate kids I had in my care (in reality it was only two but it felt like more. It often does). So we went up the road to another charcuterie that had been open for long enough to not be the hip new place anymore and we got in straight away. We weren’t having breakfast though because, as I said already, I would rather lose a limb that go out for breakfast. That’s for people from another generation who spend their nights food-truck hopping before they head home to finish off a postmodern-letterbox blog post. We were having elevenses in between the kids’ soccer matches. We scoffed down a couple of hot chocolates, which cost as much as it does to feed an entire Mexican family for a week, but that’s café culture and it’s changing as fast as the world is, especially in my neighbourhood. I heard there’s a new place in Fitzroy that serves coffee only without milk. The choice is short or long or double or triple black only, and when I heard that, part of me died a

little bit because I’m still trying to adjust to the piccolos and ¾ lattes. I still find the well-dressed babies slurping on organic porridge in Ikea baby chairs quaint, and I choose to order another wine/ piccolo if someone is staring me down because they want my table because I would do anything to avoid having to share a table with a stranger, and I agonise over PayPass. Does the money come out of credit or savings and why push it on us, silly waiters, if we look like we don’t know how to include a tip.
Anyway Now there are at least six new charcuteries in my neighbourhood and I’ve only just got around to Googling what that means. It’s cured meat otherwise known as ham and salami, or cold cuts as we used say, which we only ever had on days over 40 degrees because mum didn’t want to cook.

This carefully dressed newcomer, who arrived just over three weeks ago, will cut it at first glance. (PR scribes have styled him as a gregarious male, so that might help). He sports an on-trend blue neon entrance sign and a white interior. Exposed brick, polished timber floors and tables, planter boxes with stylised greenery, an open kitchen and young, good-looking staff all get points.

A must-try is the pan-fried scallops with a layer of pumpkin purée and a wrap of nduja (spicy, spreadable Italian pork sausage) bejewelled with pomegranate seeds.

After days admiring ice spheres in various whiskies in Japan, I bought a spherical ice mould. This is when my obsession truly started – from lemonade, to a G&T, to a dram of whisky, I now want balls of ice in all my drinks. It’s an overnight process to freeze an ice ball so I picked up an extra baller – a silicone mould from The Original
Whiskey Ball that costs just $13.95. (www.whiskeyball.com.au) ● BEN THOMAS bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

With ice balls made, its only right to start with Suntory’s Hibiki Japanese Harmony ($95). A blend of 12 malt and grain whiskies, it’s creamy smooth with delicate toffee, orange rind and a long vanilla-accented finish. 93/100

Tokyo, where bars serve the country’s smooth whisky with impressive spheres of ice. But my new habit got its start back here, in bars that serve whisky and bourbon with huge, single chunks of ice. No self-respecting Melbourne bar scoops ice out of a bucket these days – it’s all about big blocks, hand-chipped chunks and balls. When you’re spending upwards of $20 for an aged single malt, you want your drink to be as good as it can be. As well as aesthetics there’s another reason why large bloclks and balls of ice are better than a few smaller pieces. The mass of a large piece relative to its surface area means it melts slowly, so doesn’t dilute the drink too much. While adding water or ice is considered a no-no by whisky purists – the drink’s aromas are muted when cold – ice helps take the burn out of the neat spirit. It’s one of the reasons I like ice with whisky. I also reckon there’s nothing nicer than

to the show’s success. “The music is alive. It brings energy to it every day and allows us to go on and give that energy to the audience.” The word “energy” comes up again when we talk about Australian audiences. This will be Lianett’s third time performing to a Melbourne crowd and she knows to expect a glowing reception. The previous production, which had its world premiere in Sydney, was a great success here before going on to a sell-out season in London. Repeat punters can expect a new show this time around, with the company revitalised by their extended tour of Europe. Lianett has been on the road with the ballet for four years now, but says there’s no sign of anyone’s enthusiasm starting to lag. “The places where we dance are all so different, we don’t get bored. We have physical training together every day, we have ballet class, we have rehearsals. We’re working like a family.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au

his isn’t the ballet your parents told you about. There are no sugar plum fairies, no graceful swans and no pirouetting nutcrackers. You won’t find a single tutu on show.

the show tends more towards a variety show or musical revue than Swan Lake or Sleeping Beauty. Certainly, the choice of music is eclectic and somewhat unexpected.

Melbourne writer Jenny Sinclair takes a journey through the nation’s cultural capital to examine the creative folk who make it tick. There are tributes to landmarks and icons, but the book avoids striving for a comprehensive history, in favour of considering how Melbourne tends to be depicted on film, in art, in books and by Jenny’s beloved Melway Melway. Her light and fast style is matched by a striking selection of photos. ●

The bill My haircut and beard trim package cost $60. Hair cuts alone are $35 from Monday to Friday and cost $40 on i feel & look Saturdays; beard trims carry a $35 flat rate. Uncle Rocco’s beard oil, fantastic which also costs $35, helps your beard look its best between visits to the barber.
The pay-off With me seated in the comfort of a vintage barber chair, Fabian gives me a classic haircut with a modern twist, leaving a little extra length on top to give me styling options. He trims and shapes my beard, which is in dire need of attention. I feel and look fantastic after the master barber works his magic. The pain factor No pain, only pleasure. I felt like I was in safe hands throughout the experience.
WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?
Definitely. The shop’s location adds to its atmosphere of exclusivity, making it feel like a destination rather than somewhere to get a quick trim. It’s an experience that I would seek out again when my hair and beard become unruly. Uncle Rocco’s Barber Shop 1 Fennell Street, Port Melbourne Appointments: 0403 283 837. uncleroccos.com.au

ANDY \ 53
BEN \ 42
When Ben and his lovely wife Livia moved in next door I could not help smiling. Ben wandered in and we started laughing about his moving chaos and we have been laughing together ever since. It is such a joy to live next to such a fun, generous and soulful man. The kids and I could always run next door in times of trouble and Ben would be there. We share the same dreams, values and hopes. We often work together. Ben is a brilliant property marketing man and I work on many public art briefs for new buildings so we always have a lot to talk about: architecture, the property biz, who is selling, who is not and what is hot in public art today. Of course, we like to do this best over a ’99 shiraz. I have lived in this street for 15 years and everyone knows I’m the coat lady. Every winter I collect old coats for the Salvation Army to give to the homeless. Most of my street see coats piled up out the front and contribute to my cause. Not everyone can give cash but everyone has a spare coat in the back of the cupboard. It’s wonderful.
I first met Andy about a week after we moved in back in 2010. She had baked us blueberry muffins and was very excited to meet her new neighbours. She invited me into her house and was extremely warm and welcoming. Her home was adorned with the most extraordinary artwork and she gave me a very comprehensive tour of the art and the artists. We sat for a couple of hours over a drink and discussed various things from the characters in the street to art, property development and life. We have been out of our home for a year through renovation but in that time Andy and I have worked together on various art projects and maintained a strong connection. We moved back only a few weeks ago and although there were no blueberry muffins it was as if we had never left. It’s such a nice feeling knowing that the people you share a wall or fence with are looking out for you. Andy brings an effortless joy to everything she does from putting kids in the car to being a host or presenting her artwork and ideas to colleagues. She’s so welcoming and happy to bring out a bottle of red, crackers and French cheese. ● TERESA MURPHY

o you know what your teenager is doing online? To be honest, most of us would have to say no – at least not all the time. As they mature, we simply can’t watch our kids 24/7. We must also trust them to a degree, which can be hard when we hear horror stories about overuse, bullying, predators, pornography exposure and sexting. These are real dangers. But most kids do avoid them. Victoria Police electronic crime liaison officer Luke Devlin helped develop the Victoria Police cyber-safety package, which trains staff, educates the public and works with schools. He says education is the key to appropriate and safe online behaviour for teenagers – and parents. For example, he says kids must know about sexting laws that prohibit teenagers from sending explicit photos unless they are to consenting friends within two years of their age.

Y W H AT T H E E X P E R T S S A THE RESEARCHER Kids are much more savvy online and look after each other more than parents think. Most are building positive connections, being creative and exploring new identities. I’d encourage parents to get online and see what their kids are doing. It’s newer to us; we’re not digital natives. Sit with your kids and have them teach you something new. Generally speaking, young people who are vulnerable offline are likely to be vulnerable online. Build your kids’ confidence and self-esteem, which will help them use the internet safely. Let them go online, so they have the chance to test their own skills and boundaries. Your child has to understand that their devices are powerful tools that require responsible use. You wouldn’t let your child see an R-rated film. Why would you let them play an R-rated game? Even if other parents allow it, you set the rules in your house. Keep computers and laptops in a public place and monitor younger children’s online behaviours. Once they’re older and using mobile devices, set rules about reasonable use. In our house, technology is not used between 8pm and 8am. It’s up to parents to decide what’s right within their family. ● ELLY ROBINSON Australian Institute of Family Studies senior research fellow aifs.gov.au

I literally grew up with computers and did an accounting degree and a graduate diploma in eCrime after joining the police force. Victoria Police has a holistic approach. Our role is to educate people and enforce the law. Every school needs a bullying and cyber-bullying policy. We’ve got about 90 per cent of schools engaged. The parents’ role is to be there and monitor and to give their kids positive experiences. Parents also need to set an example. Your online presence is just as important as your real-life presence. Make sure the computer is in a centralised room. Tell your teenagers never to give out private information or organise a face-to-face meeting without involving you. It’s not about spying; it’s about working with your kids to say, “What are you doing there and who are you speaking to?” If you were walking with your child and they went into an X-rated shop, would you be happy about that? Even sending an innocuous photo can give a predator identifying information through geotagging. Educate yourself and be aware. When kids are being withdrawn and they’re a little bit off colour and they don’t want to talk, that’s an alarm bell. ● SERGEANT LUKE E DEVLIN Victoria Police electronic crime liaison officer www.police.vic.gov.au

DAD’S TO OLS These were some of my father’s building tools from early in his career as a builder. I love the simplicity of them.

fter 18 years in garden construction, Mark Browning made the move across to landscape design in 2003. At first it wasn’t that easy: “All the documentation; I was so used to just doing it myself it was hard learning to write it all down.” But he soon overcame that and this year became the first designer to win back-to-back Best in Show awards at the prestigious Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. Inspired by his love of nature, Mark has deliberately set an environmentally friendly course for his award-winning business, pointing clients towards sustainable plants, efficient water use, and locally sourced bluestone or granite rather than imported stone or concrete.
WORLD GLOBE I just love being able to see all parts of this amazing planet … next best thing to an atlas!
But Mark believes his most inspired design was The Patriarch’s Garden, created for MIFGS 2014, that honoured his recently dead father. “The stars aligned for that,” he says. “That win meant more to me than the Chelsea Flower Show one,” he adds, referring to the silver-gilt medal earned in 2007 when he designed a family-friendly garden for nurseryman Wes Fleming. Many of the father of four’s favourite objects have strong links to family – inherited from ancestors or created by children – and his favourite part of his Carnegie home is the light-filled hall linking the Victorian front to the modern rear extension; designed together with his wife, Karlee, it is also where their two daughters love to play. ● JANE CANAWAY jcanaway@theweeklyreview. com.au » www.cycas.com.au

This soup bowl belonged to my grandmother Mim. I always admired it as a child when I would visit and she left it to me when she passed away. I love the little men that are attached to it. I think somewhere someone told me it represented good luck.

A
huge world map on the wall of the kitchen in 9 Lime Avenue, North Balwyn, set the stage for the adventuresome, talented Kate Ceberano and older brothers Paul and Phil. “There were all these push pins wherever my grandparents and parents had travelled. It made the world seem very small to us, like a smorgasbord of possibilities,” the 48-year-old singer recalls fondly. “It was an old orchard home: weatherboard, very basic, unheated, wooden floors. My grandparents lived in a flat out the back and my cousins next door. We were very poor, but none of us ever felt we had too little. “Josh Pyke did a song called Middle of the Hill and it moves me so much because we were the house in the middle of a very steep hill. There were the Wongs down the bottom of the street and the Chongs up the top and us in the middle. I don’t think any of us ever suffered from being Eurasian, it was more like we were exotic. The smells of our cooking, the fresh ginger and garlic certainly drove the
neighbours nuts, they’d be like little birds at the door. “The hill encouraged recklessness. Once, the heel of my gumboot got stuck under the brake of my scooter and I went flying down this hill at murderous speed and smack into a fire hydrant. I was knocked out cold. “There was a creek at the bottom of the street and if you got on a lilo on a hot summer’s day it would take you from North Balwyn, right through and past Studley Park and into the Yarra. Mind you, you had to cross a couple of streets in between. “Growing up in the ’70s was this curious blend of security and great risk. There was an undercurrent of violence because in the eastern suburbs there were skinheads and sharpies. We had hoons tearing up and down the street and gangs of second-generation Europeans being all Saturday Night Fever in the midst of Doncaster Shopping Town. “My father [Tino] is one of the most famous martial artists of his style in the world, so we always had delegates and students staying.

BAY’S PREMIER BOULEVARD 100 KERFERD R ROAD, ALBER ERT PARK, 3206
K
erferd Road is only one kilometre long, its wide tree-lined centre plantation laying a green carpet from the pier at Albert Park beach to the light-rail overpass at Albert Road; but without doubt it is one of Melbourne’s loveliest boulevards. It’s not hard to imagine horse-and-carriage traffic of the late 1800s bringing visitors here for a day by the bay, and delivering the well-to-do to the doors of their fashionable Victorian and Edwardian-era homes. The venerable George Briscoe Kerferd was only a few months into his one-year term as Victoria’s 10th premier when allotments were prepared in 1874 and the road was named in his honour. Kerferd might not be well known today, but the Liverpool-born émigré made his mark, rising from wine merchant to mayor of Beechworth, to attorney-general and Supreme Court judge, and fathering 10 children along the way. By the time the former premier died on New Year’s Eve 1889, this early-Edwardian house halfway along his road, at No.100, was rising on solid bluestone foundations in a notable neighbourhood. Today, 125 years later, a person lounging on the box-bay window seat of the sitting room will see much the same as then, outside and in. Looking out the tall casement windows, there’s a front garden featuring a juvenile jacaranda tree and palms, a brick wall complementing the tuck-pointed red-brick façade of the house, and opposite neighbours in the distance, past the centre plantation. Turning to look inside, the eye is irresistibly drawn up to the spectacular ceiling – at least 4.5 metres high, featuring extraordinarily ornate detail, a deep curve in the cornice, lace-like trims and plaster bows, and a decorative ceiling rose. The vendor says he has never known a person to enter this room and not exclaim. There’s a tiled fireplace with timber mantel to admire, and grand proportions, but the ceiling steals the show every time. Rich period detail is retained in other original rooms of the house – the main and the plainer second bedrooms, and

the large dining room or third bedroom (depending on a family’s needs). Each has a decorative-tiled fireplace, timber mantelpiece, high ceilings, sash windows, deep skirting boards and Baltic pine floorboards. The main bedroom, however, is given contemporary advantages. A walk-in wardrobe and a modern en suite with soaker bath replace a former adjoining bedroom; and the centre window of its tall trio of windows facing the street can be opened to access a small tessellated-tile patio, smartly enclosed with a lockable glass screen. The patio is a junior version of the elegant entry, which is enhanced by carved timber fretwork and a front door surrounded by decorative stained glass. Off the arched hallway, again featuring high ceilings and timber floors, there’s a walk-in cupboard and the main bathroom. The bathroom, which incorporates laundry facilities behind bifold doors, has modern fittings, fixtures and colour palette, but its original tall arched window is the focus, drawing in light and offering a peek to garden treatment on the side path. The house further meets family needs with its open-plan kitchen/living/meals area across the back, at the end of the hall. Timber floors carry through, ceilings are high, windows continue the tall, narrow trend and there’s warmth and ambience from a gas fireplace. The kitchen, completed in 2013, features prominently veined marble in the splashback, benchtops and waterfall island bench/breakfast bar. There’s a sliding door pantry, appliance cupboard and full-height matte 2pac cabinetry. Two sets of french doors exit to an elevated deck, built to incorporate a pair of silver birches; then a few steps take you down to a weatherboard studio/retreat and a paved area for parking or entertainment. Behind the rear roller door is a bluestone lane that runs left to Richardson Street and right to Merton Street – which might be the least grand aspect of the house, but is extremely handy. ● JACQUI HAMMERTON property@theweeklyreview.com.au

This apartment is a great example of how smaller spaces can inspire creative, exciting architecture. In one of Melbourne’s most sought-after suburbs, just walking distance from St Kilda Road, South Melbourne Market and Albert Park Lake, this two-bedroom apartment is full of surprises. The entrance opens onto a concrete staircase which leads up to the main bedroom with its palette of soft grey tones. Built-in wardrobes and storage cleverly frame the bed, utilising space to great effect. An en suite with storage and large format tiles continues this design achievement. The stairs lead past another bedroom up to the stunning open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. North-facing with leafy outlooks that are hard to beat in this pocket of Melbourne, this area incorporates a stylish palette of timber, glass and polished concrete. The kitchen is reasonably spacious and has integrated appliances, concealed storage and a mirrored splashback. Topping all this is a rooftop deck, which is perfect for summer barbecues. ● FRANCESCA CARTER
It’s easy to see the appeal of St Kilda East. This inner-city suburb has a rich multicultural history and a thriving arts community. Just a block from the hustle and bustle of Carlisle Street, Malakoff Street is a quiet cul-de-sac with a mixture of architectural styles. This house originally faced Sebastopol Street, which runs parallel. A renovation sometime ago, however, changed its address, upgrading the façade so it respects the original architecture. A landscaped garden frames the front path, which leads to a deck. Inside, the left half of the house is open plan. With original timber floors and a white colour palette, this design maximises light. The bedroom at the front is a lovely room with a french door looking out across the front garden. The main bedroom at the back is also charming and has strapped ceilings and built-in wardrobes. The bathroom has large sandy-coloured tiles and looks onto a side garden. With its quality design, this house provides an affordable option for young families looking to get a slice of inner-city living. ● FRANCESCA CARTER

HIGHETT \ 17 SANDFORD STREET It’s remarkable the magic a little courtyard can bring; at this contemporary townhouse, a timber deck on the west side delivers three blessings. First, it’s a sunny, sheltered outdoor nook to enjoy, away from the back garden; second, it creates a separation between rooms; and finally, it draws natural light into the three rooms that wrap around it – a great bonus in winter. The floor plan that incorporates this feature shows design wisdom throughout. At the front of the semi-detached house, there’s a covered porch, internal access from the garage and a sitting room open to the hallway. Timber stairs lead to two bedrooms that share a study, a bathroom and separate toilet. A little anteroom fitted with storage cupboards gives separation to the main bedroom, which includes walk-in wardrobe, en suite and glass doors to the deck. A fourth bedroom that faces the deck could also be a study or play room. The open-plan rear of the house has the kitchen on the right and the combined meals and living area on the left, benefitting from french doors to the deck and bifold doors to the rear patio and garden. The family that enjoys the crisp, modern style also has the advantage of position – a quiet street with Southland shopping centre, Highett station and Highett Reserve in walking distance. ● JACQUI HAMMERTON
