FIRST PERSON

I am Sonya Tsakalakis … and I’m a bibliotherapist My first language is Greek, but I picked up English quickly and learned to read in prep, where my school librarian, Mrs Bowen, introduced me to the wonder of reading. I had a hard time adjusting to school, and reading was a rescue. I could retreat somewhere with a book and find solace in a much more beautiful, magical, congenial world than the one I was experiencing. Before becoming a bibliotherapist (Literary Hand and The School of Life), I had a variety of other jobs, including as a genetic counsellor and community educator. In about 2009, I read an article in The Guardian about bibliotherapy called “The Reading Cure”. It’s a concept that hails from ancient Greece, literally meaning book therapy. The article described the process of group bibliotherapy, run by an organisation called The Reader in London, where people read aloud, sharing stories and insights. The idea resonated with me, and I wanted to learn more, so I went to the State Library to look it up. Then, I went to London to train with the Reader Organisation, and started running groups when I returned. Later, I trained with Ella Berthoud, who was one of the founders of bibliotherapy at The School Of Life in London, to conduct bibliotherapy, one on one. When people book a bibliotherapy session with me they’re sent a detailed preliminary questionnaire. Next, we have a consultation in person or by Skype, which gives me a more expansive sense of what they hope to gain from the session. Ultimately, I put together a literary “prescription” tailor made to their needs and challenges and aligned with their interests. It’s about choosing the books that have resonance to uplift and nourish. There’s a number of reasons why people book a bibliotherapy session. Dissatisfaction at work, grief and loneliness are big ones. Sometimes, though, people just want to be inspired by reading again, or take a different reading direction, or have a need to feel a sense of adventure. Sometimes the issues are heavy, but my training and background in genetic counselling helps me to keep the session contained. My prescriptions mostly contain fiction, but I do include a mix of translated works, classics, contemporary fiction and poetry. ●

In the breakneck arena of breakfast TV, Virginia Trioli and Michael Rowland are having the last laugh. ABC’s News Breakfast, of which they are hosts, has bucked the downward trend of brekkie-program ratings, proving that at a time in which social media blasts a cacophony of news bites, there is still a burning hunger for stories with a cerebral edge. Seven’s Goliath, Sunrise, and Nine’s popular Today still claim the lion’s share of viewers, but the ABC’s achievements are an intriguing example. Writer Peter Wilmoth met Michael and Virginia to unpick why more people are tuning into Aunty. ●

he ABC’s News Breakfast program is the quiet achiever of breakfast TV. And even without the benefit of a large commercial TV marketing budget or Sunrise’s “cash cow” giving away fistfuls of dollars, the program is, unlike its competitors, increasing its audience. “We do provide the intelligent alternative and for whatever reason people who might have been rusted-on viewers to the other breakfast shows on the commercial stations are coming across us,” cohost Michael Rowland says. “They’re sick of what they’ve been watching for years. We offer the light stuff – we do light and shade – but we are called news breakfast for a reason. “Our mission as ABC news journalists is to provide our viewers with news updates and treat them as intelligent beings.” In March, The Age assessed breakfast television numbers, reporting that as commercial breakfast shows shed viewers, News Breakfast is holding up well, and that since 2016 its ratings had grown

frivolous manner. The opposing shows might better be described as entertainment. Nothing wrong with that. But this is what it says; a newsbreakfast program.” News Breakfast has some serious talent at its disposal, including the program’s original co-host in 2008. “Barrie Cassidy is in my view one of this country’s pre-eminent political commentators,” Rowland says. “He calls it as it is. There’s a huge switch-on factor when Barrie’s on at 7.30 every Friday.” Trioli notes the program has access to “some of the best foreign correspondents that Australian journalism has to offer, and they’re with us on a daily basis,” she says. “They’re always bringing their top-flight analysis, that’s absolute gold. These reporters are at the absolute top of their game and they’re there every morning for you.” The show’s credibility means many agenda setters choose News Breakfast to appear on. “Some of the names they get: lots of politicians; it’s serious stuff,” says Allen.

WAKE-UP CALL IN AN ERA OF FAST TWEETS AND CLICK BAIT, THE ABC’S BREAKFAST SHOW IS THRIVING ON A SMART APPROACH almost three per cent, and the two years before they jumped 48 per cent. Media watchers are putting it down to a mix of intelligent reporting, the talent and appeal of the hosts and credibility. “There is still a yearning for trustworthy news,” says Steve Allen, of Fusion Strategy. “While the public enjoys the alternative, it’s not quite the same. For the majority of the time theirs is entertainment with news mixed in.” Allen says hosts Virginia Trioli and Michael Rowland have the right mix of smarts and warmth. “Michael is a very good communicator, warm and friendly, and with Virginia you’ve got to be on your toes. They’re well rounded.” Veteran media commentator Harold Mitchell believes it’s all about trust. “You earn the trust you deserve,” he says. “People want it to be reliable. News Breakfast is news at its base but it’s not treated in a

“If you want to have a more rounded feel for the story you have to be into this program,” he says. The timing means Australian viewers get what Rowland calls “first dibs on the 50,000 tweets that Donald Trump has issued that day” through Zoe Daniel, Conor Duffy or Stephanie March as well as its correspondents in Europe. Trioli and Rowland have worked together for eight of the show’s 10 years. “I really enjoy working with Virginia,” he says. “I think she is the ABC’s best interviewer in news and current affairs. Whip smart, fantastic ability to laugh at herself and everything else that goes on on this wonderful show.” “It’s an extraordinary relationship,” Trioli says. “When you’re sort of flung together you can’t possibly imagine or anticipate that it’s going to work. Part of you is thinking ‘Christ Almighty, in a

sense we probably spend more hours together closely than we would with our partners, and at a vulnerable hour of the morning. But it’s worked so well right from the very beginning’. “I’ve said this on air: Michael has probably the best news sense of anyone I’ve ever worked with. His news judgement is unerring and impeccable but, at the same time, he has a great sense of fun. There’s extraordinary trust; that’s the only way it will work. Someone’s leaning, someone’s falling … it’s trusting and it’s affectionate and it’s the joy of this show.” Their personalities are on display more now, which, Rowland says, is “essential for breakfast TV because people feel as though they know us”. “Anybody can read an auto cue but it takes a certain person to have the intelligence to ask serious questions but also to show their human side.”

rioli says there was a day when the show changed. “It was when our floor director Joe jumped behind the couch and the camera cut back to us too quickly and Joe was fixing our mikes,” she says. “At that moment we both lost it. We are human beings; we are real; yes we present the news and do it damn well but there’s more to us, more going on in our hearts and our minds and we don’t mind you seeing it. “Our informal motto has always been ‘We send you away smarter’,” Trioli says. “We’re unapologetic about knowing that even though we’re in the breakfast slot and it’s morning television, there was no point in you coming to us unless we were there to properly inform you. “What’s probably developed and changed over the years is we’ve come out more as individuals, showing more of ourselves, and what’s come with that is more of a conversational, engaging, more magazine approach, when needed.” In light of the recent budget freeze for the ABC announced in the Federal Budget, Harold Mitchell stresses the program’s importance for the broadcaster. ““News News Breakfast is a very important stake in the ground for the believability of the ABC,” he says. “At any point when there might be budget cuts from time to time, News Breakfast should be protected. It is a cornerstone of the ABC.” ●

DANNY K ATZ \ HOME TRUTHS

he suburban Aussie backyard used to be so big. It was a vast expanse of patchy, weedy grass with a couple of old trees on the side, a rusty Hills Hoist in the middle, and somewhere down the front, if you looked really hard, tucked away in a tiny corner, a house. No one knew what to do with all that backyard. It was too big to mow, too huge to water, so it became just a place where kids played cricket and adults burnt dead leaves on weekends for fun. There were distant parts of the backyard that you’d never even explored – scary parts where the morning glory grew. That stuff would grab you by its tendrils and drag you into its lair. You couldn’t even bitch about it from far away – it could read lips. Then one day in the late 1990s people started waking up in their cramped little homes, their arms bunched in tight, their knees jammed against their chin – and they looked out the window at their

vast backyards; the Hills Hoists twirling happily in the morning breeze, waving assorted pairs of undies in its Hills-Hoisty hands. And these people said to themselves, “this is ridiculous! Why is my house so small and my backyard so big? I’m going to do something about this!” But they said it silently in their head, in case the morning glory was listening. So builders were brought in to knock out walls and pop extra rooms on to the back of the house like boxy haemorrhoids. Trees were cut down and mulched. The Hills Hoist was yanked out and dumped in a skip. The morning glory was poisoned and died slowly, reaching out its tendrils for pity and a drink of water, but it got neither. The suburban Aussie backyard was half the size now, but it was a bit more manageable.

People put down nice decking, turned their homes into an “entertainer’s paradise” even though they never ended up doing any entertaining, but at least they had the option if they ever did. Then, in the mid-2000s, these people gazed out again at their gardens and thought, “why do I have all these plants? What’s the point of plants? They just photosynthesise and make oxygen – and who needs oxygen when you could have a home theatre, a guest annexe and a sculpture studio and foundry?” So the builders were brought back to knock out more walls, until the backyard was solid house. All that was left was a tiny strip of “Zen courtyard”, just big enough for one person, if you balanced on one foot on a Japanese river pebble. The big, expansive suburban Aussie backyard was no more. But one day in the early 2010s, people began thinking, “you know what would be nice? A bit more greenery. Hey, maybe I should build a vertical backyard up the side of the house. “Yeah, with patchy, weedy grass, a couple of sideways trees, a patch of morning glory, a sideways Hills Hoist ...” ●

MICHAEL ROWL AND \ BOOK CLUB

Beauty and the beasts LAST MONTH

s one Australia’s top fashion designers, Alannah Hill’s name is associated with glamour, red carpets and that trademark eccentricity. But in this searingly raw memoir, Hill reveals a childhood and adolescence marred by physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Butterfly on a Pin opens with Hill’s mother, Aileen, trying to kill herself and in short order we are introduced to her alcoholic and distant father, Jimmy, and a family struggling to survive in a tiny Tasmanian applegrowing town. We follow Hill’s escape to Hobart, where she writes about being raped in a grim boarding house, and her arrival in Melbourne with $50 in her pocket. From there, some of the book’s bleakness starts to lift. We learn how, in the early 1980s, Hill was plucked from waiting tables to help run the Indigo boutique on Chapel Street and from there launched her own fashion empire. We get a heady insight into the world of catwalks and couture with a liberal dose of name dropping. Carla Zampatti, Alex Perry, Nick Cave, Michael Hutchence and the Minogue sisters all play cameo roles. But no matter how well Hill succeeds, grinding disappointment is never far away. She’s unlucky in love. And, of course, Hill eventually has to walk away from her fashion brand after falling out with her financial backer. Writing the memoir has clearly been a cathartic experience (“I couldn’t type the past out fast enough,” she says). It’s a life story that will stay with you for a long time. ●

Cocktails are not first things that come to mind when thinking about Indian restaurants. A Kingfisher lager, perhaps, or a lassi of some description are more likely go-tos. Beer and lassi are on the drinks menu at Bhang, an excellent twolevel bar and restaurant in Brunswick, but the on-theme cocktails being shaken and mixed at the downstairs bar are more worthy of attention. Bhang’s cocktail list shows how adaptable and accommodating cocktails can be. Bartender Hamish Drummond gives classic cocktails an Indian flourish via chai syrups, hemp-seed orgette, chai infused vermouth, Darjeeling tea syrup and flavours like star anise, turmeric and tamarind. Drummond clearly understands these flavours and his short, sharp cocktail list impresses with its balance and restraint. The Haldi Amigo is the Bhang take on a margarita with the usual tequila (Tromba) and citrus base given a salt and turmeric rim that adds colour and a layer of pungent complexity. The Indian Lady has gin infused with lemon rind, cumin and cinnamon shaken with chai syrup, Cointreau, lemon juice and an egg white. Bhang has a happy hour every evening from 5pm to 7pm and this is where the cocktail experiments get an airing. It’s a good chance to preview what might be up for a permanent slot on the next cocktail menu and to hand over less money for the privilege. ●

uw Murdoch is a bread head. A loaf of casalinga was his first love (age 10, Babka, Fitzroy) but sourdough (age 31, Tartine, San Francisco) is what really got him fired up. Murdoch loved the loaf so much he ended his sixyear stint at Market Lane Coffee and started his own gig, Wild Life Bakery, in a former mechanic’s. He’s still good buds with the MLC crew and says: “I’m probably biased, but I think it’s the best coffee in Melbourne!” Guess which beans he uses? Murdoch nabbed MLC’s architect, too, Sarah Trotter – a mate, who’s done an open, minimalist fitout with understated style. The best bit? It’s big. There’s room for pushers (a hit with parent groups) WO R D S ● N I N A R O U S S E AU

and space for dogs to rehydrate out front after a romp in the off-lead park across the road. Despite Murdoch’s passion for baking, he decided to stay a barista/front-of-house guy, and team up with Brad Tobin (ex-Woodfrog Bakery). “We didn’t want a super holey, open loaf because we wanted to do toasties,” Murdoch says, “and we wanted a much darker bake than a lot of bakeries are prepared to do.” The house sourdough is a top result: a moist, cakey interior with an almost nutty, black-brown crust. The menu is a tight list of all-brunch options, and not an eggs-ben in sight. “Our menu is different from a lot of brunch cafes,” Murdoch says.

“Every other cafe does eggs on toast and I thought that was a bit boring.” The toasties rock, maybe filled with caramelised onion and Comte, a mild French alpine cheese used in fondue and known as “a good melter”. A spread of Saint David Dairy’s cultured butter on the outside gives the bread its golden glow. Fermentation also informs the menu (it is called “Wild Life”, after all) appearing in a zippy misosesame dressing in the spelt and brown rice bowl and kimchi toastie, the new cult sanga in town. It’s a fat, rollicking ride of thick-cut brioche, sharp cheddar and kimchi, a mild brew fermented with miso, instead of shrimp paste and fish sauce, to

keep it vegetarian. “The people who order it are a bit obsessed,” says Murdoch, as are fans of the hamand-cheese croissant. Murdoch is vego and meat is a newish menu item here, all of it free-range and ethically sourced from Andrew McConnell’s flash Meatsmith butchery. “Turns out people like eating ham!” laughs Murdoch, who was surprised at the H&C croissant runout. You can add braised free-range lamb shoulder to the shakshuka if you like, a fiery dish of slowcooked runny yolkers with spicy capsicum. Kids, dogs, solo with wifi for company – if you’re looking for a brunch hang, this one’s a good ’un. ●

Pho-nomenal

ust about as controversial as declaring you don’t like pho on the streets of Ho Chi Minh, is naming the best Vietnamese restaurant on Victoria Street in Richmond. But one thing is for sure, if you want to eat quality Vietnamese food, you hop off the 109 tram at Victoria Street and take yourself for a wander. The street is crowded with dining options so, resolute to the old-school approach, I decide where to eat based on crowds. Here the food is fast and the meals come cheap, although this is not at all relative to the quality or flavour. There’s everybody here from local solo diners coming for their weekly fix, large family groups, to those like myself, who venture in for a taste of authentic Vietnamese. Although, despite our different dining dynamics, we all have one thing in

common, the need for a quality bowl of pho. Like my Vietnamese comrades at the table next to me, I attempt to effortlessly demolish my bowl with chopsticks in one hand and a spoon in the other. I’m not so adept, but equally content. In fact, talking with Phuoc Thanh Bakery owner Danny Nguy, we agree the food standard here is high, and in his eyes, better than Vietnam. There is some truth in that, as $4.50 later I devour a pork banh mi, post pho. Holla Coffee Roasters, a green leafy oasis, serving Saigon Scrambled Eggs and Crompton Coffee, offer a few bowls of overnight simmered pho, alongside their small menu, to the regulars. If you do happen to miss out, follow your nose up the street, and you may stumble across a new favourite. But be prepared for some debate. ●

Snooze and you lose

hen it comes to our health, we all know that it’s essential to both get enough sleep and move our body often. However, when you’re run down and exhausted you might be left wondering – is it more important to prioritise a few extra Zs or push yourself to get up and go? Here are some factors to consider when you’re having that debate with yourself under the doona on cold winter mornings. THE CASE FOR SLEEP \ The body needs sleep to

give you the energy to take on your busy day ahead, but too often we forget that its benefits to our overall health goes far beyond just this. Sleep is essential to keep our immune system in tip-top shape and help us avoid illness. It helps the brain function at an optimal level, benefiting your cognitive abilities and emotional

state and of course makes you a much more pleasant person to be around. When you’re getting your workouts ticked off each day, sleep is essential to help the body rejuvenate and recover. So, when your muscles are aching from smashing out your training each day, a good night’s sleep can be just what the doctor ordered to help you get back to tip-top condition. Still not convinced of the endless benefits of sleep? Lack of sleep can cause intense cravings for bad food, increase your appetite and lead to overeating. When you’re well rested you’re way more likely to make sensible food choices throughout the day and therefore less likely to grab that Mars Bar at 3pm for a much-needed burst of energy. Like most things, when you treat the cause of the problem, you find the solution. So, instead of focusing on getting those extra hours in the

morning, my advice is to instead focus on getting a better night’s sleep by going to bed at the same time each night, ensuring your environment is sleep friendly and avoiding technology before bed.

GET UP AND GO

ISTOCK

THE CASE FOR WORKING OUT \ I understand that

hitting the snooze button and skipping your workout for a few more hours’ sleep can be very tempting. However, something I always tell my 28ers is that you will never regret the workout that you have just done. It all comes down to those split-second decisions where you can go left or right, so make sure you’re putting everything in your favour to make sure you get up and go. My tips are to put your phone on the other side of the room so when your alarm goes off you’re forced to get out of bed and always lay out your workout clothes the night before.

UNHAPPY WITH YOUR CURRENT STYLE OR COLOUR?

I’m always saying that fitting exercise into your day won’t give you less time; it’ll give you more and, more often than not, you will find that waking up and getting it done will actually give you more energy to tackle the day ahead. An added bonus of committing to exercise in the morning is that endorphins are produced early on in the day, which can sharpen your focus and clear your mind. Ok, so there’s no prizes for guessing what my recommendation usually is when it comes to sleeping in versus working out. Of course, when we’re really sick we need to listen to our body and get extra rest. But if it is simply a case of willing yourself out of bed to do what you know you need to do on those winter mornings, then take this advice and make it your best working-out winter yet. ● ● 28bysamwood.com

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

SIENA COLLEGE’S CONVENT & CLOISTERS SPECIAL PROMOTION

Learning Spaces

iena College is opening its iconic historic convent and cloisters to neighbours and the community on July 21, prior to their restoration as the school’s gateway and official entrance later this year. Built by the Riversdale Road-based Dominican Order and the Camberwell community to educate girls, the multi-domed 1939 Byzantine-revival convent and cloisters have always been the spiritual heart of the Catholic college. Once the sacred preserve of the closed order of Dominican sisters who founded and ran Siena College from 1940, the convent more recently accommodated Siena’s music and drama departments. Restoration of the convent and cloisters is the fourth and final pillar of the school’s Butterfly philanthropic campaign, which centred on the design and construction of a new learning centre, the $8 million St Catherine’s Centre that opened in 2016. The project includes a new school reception, offices for the principal and the deputy principal responsible for faith, a boardroom and a heritage centre to share the college’s religious and academic history, including a recreation of the prioress’ quarters to show how the sisters lived. Principal Gaynor Robson-Garth says Italian architect and engineer Hamleto Agabiti designed the convent and cloisters. The Italianate style of the buildings and gardens reflects the Dominican Order’s early beginnings in Spain and Italy. “The convent exudes a sense of peace and tranquillity supporting the prayer and contemplation that continues to be integral to the college today,” she says. Robson-Garth says from the outset as a college within the Dominican Order, Siena was committed to the acquisition of new knowledge through learning. The Siena Convent is a place of special beauty that breathes and visibly manifests the tradition and 800-year history that Siena College is part of. An alumnae wall added to the convent in 2017 (pictured right) honours the sisters, staff and past students. The restoration project is scheduled for completion in time for the 2019 school year. ●

THE HISTORIC CONVENT

DISCOVER SIENA’S ICONIC HERITAGE Siena College is inviting neighbours and the community to visit its convent and cloisters on Saturday, July 21 from 10am to noon. Visitors can see the arched cloisters that surround an internal garden courtyard and lead to the circular five-domed chapel. On the convent’s upper level, regular floor indentations mark former walls of the sisters’ cells. Reminiscent of Italian churches, the building was deemed highly significant in 1991. ●

FEATURE HOUSE BLACKBURN NORTH \ 29 BRIDGEFORD AVENUE 3

here is something of a homestead atmosphere about the attractive grey house with the bluestone garden wall in Bridgeford Avenue. The bullnose roof and return verandah, in particular, bring to mind country houses and wide open spaces. Inside, the home is elegant and stylish with spacious rooms and an easy floor plan. A delicate palette of pale grey and white sets the tone for the sophisticated decor and the general effect is as fresh as the morning. Glowing parquetry floors flow through the living areas and the lounge room’s cosy feel is enhanced by the ornate timber fireplace. A study nook is tucked away off the dining area and has a window to the verandah. The kitchen has ample storage, subway tiles and stainless steel appliances. Double doors lead from here to the huge covered deck. The main bedroom, which is exceptionally large and has an en suite, a built-in louvre wardrobe as well as a walk-in wardrobe, also opens to this relaxing deck. Two further bedrooms share the family bathroom. All bedrooms are carpeted. The house is set in low-maintenance gardens with timber retaining walls and paved areas. The back garden is completely closed off creating a secure place for children and pets to play. Ducted heating, split-system airconditioning and ceiling fans have been fitted. The garden benefits from water tanks and the tandem carport and workshop has an automatic door. The family-friendly neighbourhood is quiet with neat streets lined with trees and well-maintained homes with attractive gardens. No. 29 is within walking distance of Whitehorse and St Philip’s primary schools and Blackburn High School is easily accessible. North Blackburn Shopping Centre and Blackburn Station Village take care of shopping requirements and the Eastern Freeway is easily accessible. Parks and reserves are sprinkled throughout the neighbourhood. Blackburn Lake Sanctuary is an excellent place for families to enjoy the walking trails and wildlife. Take a picnic and listen to the birdsong and the soundtrack of the natural bushland. ● BEVERLEY JOHANSON property@domain.com.au

‘Gold Rush: 20 Objects, 20 Stories’ presents the turbulent tale of Victoria’s gold rush through just 20 objects. From intriguing archaeological artefacts, to a frilled crinoline dress, each object has an unexpected story to tell. The gold rushes of the 1850s transformed Victoria. Overnight Melbourne became a global port, as the lure of gold proved irresistible. People in their thousands flocked from Europe, America and China for the chance to escape lives of relentless toil. For Aboriginal Victorians gold meant further dispossession. But it also presented opportunities, as objects in this exhibition will suggest. ‘Gold Rush: 20 Objects, 20 Stories’ is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Public Record Office Victoria.
