letters to the editor BUSES DON’T ADD UP I shudder to think what it must cost V/Line to transport passengers by bus when there are track problems during hot weather. The cost of hiring buses at short notice to take passengers between Geelong and Melbourne must be prohibitive.

It’s time the state government and V/Line spent a decent amount to ensure the service between Geelong and Melbourne is up to scratch. We need a long-term plan for better and more reliable transport between our two biggest cities, not a Band-Aid approach. It’s only going to get worse as more people move here and commute to Melbourne daily.

EMPTY ARGUMENT Forget about wasting valuable government money (local, state and federal) upgrading the capacity of Simonds Stadium – the Cats can’t even fill it now. Where are all the extra special events we were promised after the last upgrade?

The money earmarked for a bigger stadium could be spent on dozens of more worthy projects, not on a huge monument to the Geelong Football Club. Spend the cash on upgrading local football and netball facilities.

JACK BOOTH \ GROVEDALE INSPIRING It’s impossible to imagine what it would be like for a loved one to simply disappear – forever wondering what happened and if they might one day turn up. It’s something Loren O’Keeffe (TWR, February 12) knows all too well after the disappearance of her brother Daniel more than three years ago. Yet she has found the willpower – and time – to help others in the same situation.

COVER STORY

Delish fish (& chips) The Weekly Review testing panel tracks down six of the best

A

good serve of fish and chips on a warm night, especially anywhere near a beach, is still an Aussie favourite when it comes to take away.

Australia’s first fish and chip shop opened way back in 1879 but, despite ever-expanding competition from a huge variety of cuisines, you’ll still find fish and chip shops in every part of our city.

In some cases it’s a more traditional shop-front with a few plastic chairs and old magazines to help you fill in time while you wait.

Then there’s the much more sophisticated offerings with in-house dining and a range of traditional and healthy options.

So, with plenty of good warm nights still ahead of us, The Weekly Review team went in search of some of Geelong’s best fish and chips.

We started with a list of 12 outlets based on local feedback and online research. We bought a piece of flake (gummy shark and still the most popular fish), GOOD FISH & CHIPS FROM DRYSDALE minimum chips and two potato cakes from each.

FISH & The panel of between six and eight staff and CHICKENS contributors put them through a taste test to end up with our six favourites. We were looking for fish that was juicy, firm, flaky and white in colour with a consistent batter – and definitely not too oily. The very best examples had a nice thin

batter with good white fish; at the other end it was hard to distinguish between the batter and fish. And looks can be deceiving; a chunky piece of battered fish might be a lot more batter than fish – usually the result of using frozen fish.

When it comes to chips, we were after a crispy finish on the outside, but fluffy on the inside and cooked right through while ensuring you could still taste the potato. Much the same for potato cakes, although in this case a firmer piece of potato inside.

To deliver you need fresh fish, a consistent, well-handled batter and fresh, well-filtered oil. Nothing kills off the fish and chip experience – during or after the event – more than the feel of grease seeping on to your fingers or soaking the wrapping.

Finally, remember, fish and chips don’t travel well … so enjoy as soon as possible! \ WAYNE BUTTNER wbuttner@theweeklyreview.com.au

PICTURES \ REG RYAN 6 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ FEBRUARY 19, 2015

Drysdale Fish and Chickens brings something unique to the fish and chips scene, with the inclusion of chickens on-site.

It has a large range to choose from, including six types of fish, and the usual offerings of potato cakes, chips and more.

Interestingly it has flounder on the menu – rarely seen in Geelong fish and chip shops. The flake (gummy shark) has a golden, light and crisp batter; it was juicy and well sized, the potato cake was crunchy, and the chips were cooked to perfection with a good dose of salt. It’s an affordable and delicious feed of fish and chips, with crispy batter thanks to a special family oil blend. \

On the menu \ Flake $5.50. Minimum chips $3.50. Potato cake $1.10 Other fish \ Butterfish, blue grenadier, whiting, couta, and flathead tails Something else \ Burgers and souvlakis

A great all-rounder with excellent fish and potato cakes and what many on the panel regarded as the best chips – crunchy, tasty and even in size. Elsewhere at times it was difficult to differentiate between the batter and potato with some of the

potato cakes, but not so here, with a good balance between potato and batter. The fish was excellent – crispy, even batter and no oil residue – although on the day not quite as generous in size as some of the others we sampled. \

a family affair Mersina Malakellis grew up around fish and chips; her family has been in the business in the Geelong region for more than four decades.

It all started in 1971 when Mersina’s parents, George and Irene Malakellis, and George’s brothers Perry and Terry Malakellis, all went into the fish-and-chip business. For many years they were in joint ownership.

Mersina Malakellis is the oldest of three daughters and cousin to former Geelong footballers Tony and Spiro – who were known as Fish ‘n’ Chips when they were playing for the Cats. She says her first memory is of helping out at her parents’ shop in 220 Pakington Street, Geelong West, when she was just eight.

She also helped in many of her parents’ other fish and chip shops spanning the region: Queenscliff, Portarlington and Barwon Heads. They owned Portarlington from 1972-1975, Barwon Heads from 1976-1982, went back to Portarlington from 1982-1986, and then Queenscliff “Food & from 1989-1992. cooking is in A few years later, Malakellis went my blood” out on her own, opening Drysdale Fish and Chickens in 2003. And, in keeping with the family tradition, her children Renee and Philip sometimes help out.

“Now I’m the only one in the family still doing it. It was a family business, so I was always cooking at home when I wasn’t working,” she says. “Food and cooking is in my blood.”

She has a variety of fresh fish available, including gummy shark (flake), blue grenadier, couta, flathead, butterfish and flounder as well as prawns, scallops, and calamari rings.

Malakellis lets us in on a few secrets. To make the best fish and chips, the oil must be clean and it’s a priority to use fresh produce cooked at the right temperature. She says you can tell when flake is fresh because it will expand when cooked.

Her fish has a crunchy, thin and light batter – providing the right crunch and not too much grease. The oil is a combination the family has been using for years.

Those looking for a healthier choice can try the La Ionica chickens (processed chemically free) and a range of salads. Or they can opt for grilled fish.

But Malakellis says most people still go for the fried fish.

Her favourite is the blue grenadier, prawns, calamari rings and lots of chips. \ JULIA MILLARD MERSINA MALAKELLIS FROM DRYSDALE FISH & CHICKENS

WE’RE KEEN TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE FISH & CHIP SPOT » Let us know at www.facebook.com/TheWeeklyReviewGreaterGeelong

MALCOLM & CZES RALTON OF THE GEELONG BOAT HOUSE

on the waterfront There’s nothing like enjoying fish and chips on the water’s edge during summer … as long as you don’t mind the seagulls hovering nearby for a chip or 10.

Malcolm and Czes Ralton have taken that experience a step further with their barge on the foreshore of Corio Bay. After being in the hospitality industry for more than three decades, the couple moved their 100-year-old barge to Geelong two years ago to serve up fresh fish and chips from The Geelong Boathouse. At the time you couldn’t buy fish and chips on the waterfront.

“It was about the location. Geelong has a north-facing harbour. There’s only two that I know of in Australia – here and in Robe, South Australa,” Malcolm says.

The Geelong Boathouse – accessible via Western Foreshore Road near Cunningam Pier – offers take-away and seating upstairs or take a rug and you can sit on the grass and enjoy the waterfront views. You can even pull up the boat and have your order lowered down to you.

The food is top-notch. They use cottonseed oil, which is filtered every day using a special filtration system.

“Our friers are state-of-the-art, too. They have an electric element so, as soon as the basket goes in, it seals the chips. There are no flour particles in the oil either, due to our filtration system.”

The Raltons want to offer a really good product, no matter the price. The flake is guaranteed gummy shark, and King George whiting comes from South Australia. All fish comes via a Melbourne supplier and is sourced daily from local fishermen rather than from the market.

“It’s battered and cooked to order, too,” Czes says.

“We put chopped parsley in our batter – which is half-way between fish and chip batter to tempura batter. It looks nice and it’s giving people a bit of vitamin C.” The parsley is from their own garden, as are many of the other herbs they use in their hamburgers and Thai fish burger: thyme, basil, Thai mint and coriander.

They also have flathead tails, barramundi and blue grenadier available, giving customers five fish options.

Czes says they only sell fresh fish, so at times some fish may not be available. \ JM

The Boat House is a fairly recent addition to Geelong’s fish and chip scene, but a good one. And it also boasts the most unusual setting – sitting on a barge on the foreshore of Corio Bay. All round a good offering: flake, chips and potato cakes. The fish was thick and juicy, with a light, crispy batter flecked with parsley (grown fresh on-site). This was the pick of the fish for many on the tasting panel. The cottonseed oil also ensures a crispy finish to the chips but they are still fluffy inside with a good potato taste. Same goes for the potato cakes.

The Boat House is not a cheap eat, but you get both great quality food and a fantastic setting. \ MORE FISH & CHIPS » P8

King George Fish and Grill has been a Pakington Street favourite since it opened in 2012, so it’s no surprise that a second shop on the waterfront is drawing plenty of diners.

It delivers the same quality we have come to expect in Pakington Street and offers dine-in and take away. Both outlets serve up excellent fish with a crisp, even batter.

That same quality comes across in the potato cakes and chips. For many on the panel, the potato cakes – among the biggest we came across – were the best around. \

He has owned three fish and chip businesses in Geelong, currently owning King George in Pakington Street and his restaurant along the Geelong Waterfront.

“My parents – Rose and Peter – came to Australia from Greece and opened up a fish and chip shop in Geelong,” he says. “So it’s just what I know. It’s our lifestyle.”

His parents owned four fish and chip shops in Geelong over the years, with Likoudis spending time working at their Ormond Road shop in East Geelong. However, it wasn’t long before he opened his own.

At 17 he opened a shop in the Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre. He then took a 12-month break while he worked on his new business in Pakington Street.

King George on Pako opened in 2012. It’s named after the King George whiting but also seemed to fit nicely with Likoudis’ first name, George. It’s something he says is a bit “quirky”.

The secret behind good fish and chips is love.

The fish was a real standout here – thick, juicy and with great taste and, at just $5.20, the cheapest of our top six. We did pay as little as $4.80 for a piece of flake elsewhere, but that was a case of “you get what you paid for”. In this case, you are getting excellent fish at a great price. The chips also were good – lightly cooked with a good flavour. The potato cakes weren’t quite of the same high standard although, based on the quality of the fish and chips, this may have been a one-off. \

In our case, the batter was a bit thicker, and softer, than others but delivered excellent overall taste, as did the potato cakes, while the chips were the more regular golden finish.

Another good all-rounder. \ WE WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK @

(MICHELLE KELCEY)

ubbly, chatty barista Lucy Thom pauses as she searches for the reason she’s so obsessed with the coffee scene.

“I’m intrigued by the whole process from growing, processing and roasting and then what baristas can do with the bean,” she says.

“It takes enormous skill and finesse to create a great coffee.”

But, there’s another element too. “I love people. My coffee regulars love to talk about the different tastes. It makes what I’m doing very worthwhile. It gives me a great sense of pride especially when people come back and comment that it’s a lovely coffee. It’s a great responsibility to give that moment of joy to my customers.”

Geelong-born Thom, a third-year health sciences student at Monash University, has been intrigued by coffee since high school.

“Mum loved to take me out at the weekends for brekky and coffee. I’m sure that’s where it all began.” Caught by the bug, Thom worked at Mr Hyde (now Mrs Hyde in Malop Street) and then came across to Winter’s, where she has been for the past five years.

“I used to buy my own beans and milk and come in after hours and practice for hours on the espresso machine perfecting my coffees,” she says. “I guess no one would do that unless they enjoyed it. It’s a little bit mad.

“It’s an unusual obsession. I trained at St Ali in Melbourne as a barista, in roasting and cupping (tasting). I always wanted to get into hospitality. While my friends played sport or had other jobs, I was developing my obsession with coffee.”

Winter’s is the only Geelong café offering Espresso Syndicate, coffee from a small roaster that prides itself on sustainability, fair trade and direct relationships with some of its growers.

The blend is balanced – no big surprises – which is what the customers want. It has the usual notes of nuts, cocoa, caramel and fruits. It won bronze medals last year at the Australian International Coffee Awards and Sydney Royal Fine Foods Awards.

Thom says the blend is perfect for milk-based coffees. “It’s creamy and rich. For me, it has chocolate and nuts. No one else has it in Geelong. It’s a real crowd-pleaser.”

The single-origin coffee changes each week. Thom makes a shot from beans drawn from farms in the Las Mercedes and

El Mirador regions of Colombia and grown at 1600 metres. Certainly more delicate with subtleties of citrus and vanilla bean.

Upstairs, a cold-drip tower produces its overnight brew from an Antonio Nunez bean from Honduras. Try it with a chunk of ice; it has a creamy texture with notes of grape, vanilla and almond.

Splitting her life between uni and working behind her La Marzocco espresso machine, Thom says she also enjoys exploring Melbourne and Geelong cafés. She takes her sketch pad, charcoal and pen. “My sketch book is always in my bag. I love to people watch. I get it out at cafés and draw the view.”

The young barista says cafés offering specialist coffees are leading the transformation of the Geelong coffee scene.

She’s right. Four new speciality coffee outlets will open in Geelong this month.

Dozens of quality Geelong outlets now offer specialist coffee beans and a high level of coffee making.

“People’s knowledge of coffee is increasing and they love to stand at my counter and ask about the single origins and the process,” Thom says.

“Coffee is bringing a lot more people down this end of Pako. There’s more choice and definitely a strong community vibe. It’s such a close and friendly community. Really, I think that’s why I’ve been here so long.

“I know the customers’ names and they know mine. I had a 70-year-old man prop at my counter today discussing technology and politics. I just love it. It’s really cool. You know, I still find it hard to decide if coffee is going to be a hobby or a career.”

Winter’s offers all-day breakfast and lunch with quality seasonal local ingredients. See the full menu on the website. \ BOB OSBURN

DECANTER ER \ THE CELLAR DOOR HAS HAD A MAKEOVER, WRITES BEN THOMAS

A

range of new cellar doors that opened recently have turned tasting into an experience. Have a brewer take you through the beer-making process, be guided at your own pace with a tablet, or take in history before tasting – the days of standing at a bench with a few wines look to be numbered. With the Labour Day long weekend approaching, here’s a few new places, and a couple of old favourites, worth a visit.

Old favourites \ Shadowfax

For years my family has combined trips to the Werribee Open Range Zoo with a visit to the nearby Shadowfax cellar door and restaurant. The two have combined to create the Shadowfax and the Savannah experience. For $109 per adult, it offers entry to the zoo, an off-road experience that gets closer to the animals than the regular safari tour, and a two-course lunch at Shadowfax. » www.zoo.org.au/werribee/wild-encounters/ shadowfax-and-the-savannah

Crittenden Wine Centre

Just before Christmas, Mornington Peninsula pioneers opened the Crittenden Wine Centre in Dromana. It’s a pioneering move 32 years after first planting vines, with a go-at-your-own-pace tasting experience that’s guided by tablet. Experts are on hand to guide the less tech-savvy among us and to answer questions.

With up to 26 wines open, you can taste the Mornington Peninsula’s major grapes, pinot noir and chardonnay and get an insight into the region.

There’s a restaurant, Stillwater, and accommodation – self-contained bungalows on the edge of the property’s lake and overlooking vines. » crittendenwines.com.au

De Bortoli

Set in a former orchard that has been half planted to vines, this cellar door has evolved as the winery has. It added Napoleone & Co cider a few years ago, made from Australian apples grown on the Coldstream property.

Having conquered wine and cider, it has turned its hand to beer. They have turned a derelict 19th-century dairy into a brewery and restaurant. The result is the Napoleone Brewery and Ciderhouse and Meletos café a few hundred metres down the road from the Punt Road

Ben Thomas’ weekly wine selections

The last few times I’ve been to De Bortoli in Dixon’s Creek, I’ve tasted in the winery. But the cellar door, restaurant and cheesemonger’s remains a must-do.

De Bortoli’s wines from the Yarra Valley are worth a visit alone, but add ranges from the King Valley, Heathcote and NSW’s Riverina district and there’s a wine to suit every palate. » www.debortoli.com.au Eldridge Estate

There are some pretty places to taste wine on the Mornington Peninsula. Eldridge is, for me, top of the tree. Taste the estate’s chardonnay, pinot noir, gamay and sav blanc in a tasting room set among the vines. If you’re lucky to catch the passionate David Lloyd pouring the wines, there’s a good chance you’ll come away with a detailed knowledge of the vineyard, the region and its grapes. » eldridge-estate.com.au

A few minutes’ drive towards Coldstream from Napoleone is the estate where Dame Nellie Melba lived, Coombe Farm. Established as a winery 13 years ago, Coombe Farm has two cellar doors – at the property’s old stables and in Dame Nellie’s old home.

The new Melba Estate has a tasting room, restaurant, gardens and a gallery of Melba memorabilia, including artwork commissioned by her. » coombeyarravalley.com.au

LEARNING \ NOEL MURPHY chats to Derham Groves, a fair dinkum design original

O

p l Pu re

INS) OPK IS H R H (C

K, here’s a few disparate things to throw together: Hopalong Cassidy and Sherlock Holmes, Iranian kebab shops, Aussie letterboxes, Chinese actresses of the 1930s, construction and design, Aussie pulp fiction, Browning’s poetry, bow ties.

Question: What do they all have in common?

Answer: Derham Groves.

Geelong’s Dr Derham Groves, that is, one of your more inspired academics and a bloke bent on showing the world how housing, workplaces and institutions can be better built to accommodate rich and varied lifestyles.

A lecturer in architecture at the University of Melbourne, he’s across more left-field design influences and inspirations than you’ll find in any lengthy Google trawl.

How can a fictional 19th century sleuth affect building, for instance?

Well, consider the difference between the sterile, minimalist architecture model ever-present today and the organised chaos many people actually live in. Groves sees contemporary architects as too clinical, overlooking the fact real people inhabit their designs.

Read a Sherlock Holmes book or three.

You’ll soon learn his famous 221b Baker Street residence was an inspired dump of arcane junk and paraphernalia. Author Arthur Conan Doyle’s descriptive prose tells a great deal about how living spaces sit most comfortably with their users.

The same thing goes for kebab shops, whether in Iran – where Groves studied their brickwork and inhabitants – or in Melbourne, where his students did so.

The result was a thumping book with design details, and all kinds of migrant stories. Most of Melbourne’s kebabs are Turkish or Greek, by the way.

Architecture, by this reasoning, is a social document, at least in part, and an intriguing reflection on the human condition. And good crime novels, with their strong sense of place – especially where corpses might be found – are good teaching aids in pursuing this discipline.

In one of Groves’ more bloodthirsty efforts, he had his students design an Australian Crime Centre using all the gore they could muster to highlight their design. Think Ken and Barbie dolls as murder victims stabbed, shot, burned … things got a tad gory.

But it was all good fun and got to the point – design a building that responds to how it will be used by living people.

And, yep, maybe a few cadavers, too.

Groves is a Belmont lad in his late 50s, who lives in Melbourne. But, as he says “once a Geelong boy, always a Geelong boy”. He studied architecture at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus. mechanisms, among them foot fetishes and sexual When TWR caught up with him, he was with his symbolism, a time-worn habit of installing well-worn “Shoes like wife, Ping, in Austin, Texas, on a weekend break shoes in a new building – a substitute for a human Miuccia – from Waco, where he’d been working on yet another sacrifice (sole and soul perhaps?) – shoe-shaped they’re unusual approach to design. He was eyeing Florida buildings and architect-designed shoes for Lacoste. buildings” for the next travel instalment before heading home He cites the pronouncement by brilliant architect for the arrival of his first grandchild, the wonderfully and sometime boot designer, Frank Gehry, that: named Loom Clarity Groves.

“Shoes are very architectural and always have been …

“I got a visiting fellowship to the Armstrong Browning and even more recently there are new shoes like Miuccia Library at Baylor University in Waco,” he says.

[Prada’s]– they’re buildings … you shouldn’t have to “It has the world’s largest collection of the Victorian-era differentiate between disciplines.” poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

The Aussie mailbox was the subject of Groves’ PhD thesis at I’m using its collection as a vehicle to explore the design of the University of Minnesota. modern-day cabinets of curiosities.”

“Australian hand-made letterboxes are much more than Groves’ liking for the unusual led to his students once merely containers for mail,” he once said. designing footwear inspired by glamorous Chinese, and “Firstly, they are Australian icons, since perhaps nowhere Hollywood, actor Anna May Wong, a shoe fanatic who visited else in the world do people express themselves through their Australia in 1939. letterboxes with quite as much fervour as we do in Australia.

Groves links shoes and design through a variety of “Secondly, letterboxes facilitate links with the outside world.

u t c e t i h c r a

Most people love to receive letters – at least those containing good news. The letterbox is also where neighbours often meet to chew the fat and discuss the weather. Thirdly, letterboxes are symbols of home.”

Groves’ interest in letterboxes has similarly been put to use with his students.

They came up with brick Dalek, dog, tower, toilet, panda, Pacman, Gameboy, prawn and piano variations on the theme.

As one of his 2014 students said: “It widened my scope to look at other things that can be incorporated into architecture.

The assignments were especially fun to do.

“Strange, actually, saying assignments are fun, but they were. It was unique, something completely different that made learning and this subject a lot more enjoyable. Wish we had more subjects like this.”

As for Hopalong Cassidy, Groves has long followed the 1950s movie and comic book star, notably his trip to Australia in 1954. It filled Bourke Street with youthful fans – the biggest crowds the city was to see until the arrival of The Beatles.

But that’s probably another story for another time. \ nmurphy@theweeklyreview.com.au FEBRUARY 19, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 17

her late 20s and mother to an 11-month-old son. She’s reluctant to say much about her operational work in Afghanistan but happy to talk about her army career in general, what it’s meant to her and what she can offer.

She’s decidedly upbeat.

She’s ranked a captain and made it through four years of officer training in the Australian Defence Force Academy and Duntroon in a distinctly male enclave with less than 10 per cent of her intake female.

“I know there’s been a lot of negative press in the past few years,” she says of sex abuse scandals. “But my experience was overwhelmingly positive.

“It’s certainly a very masculine environment but I never felt I had to be blokey to fit in. I wasn’t devalued as a female and I was never subject to bullying or discrimination. It was very positive, I received a good education, good training and I made lifelong friends.”

That said, training leaders for military conflict isn’t undertaken with kid gloves, and trainees have to know how to deal with serious, stressful scenarios. How to perform, to lead, when they’re under fire. Not everyone is cut out for it and it takes some serious doing.

“At ADFA, you concentrate on your tertiary studies while leadership training is done in a small team,” says Hailey. “At Duntroon, you have a larger team.

They simulate situations and put you under physical, emotional and intellectual pressure. You’ve got to be able to think on your feet.

“You go through all the theory, training tactics, military history and then in the field you do it practically to see if you know what they’re teaching, to see if you have the right characteristics as a leader and as a soldier.

“Being a good tactician doesn’t necessarily make you a good leader. You make sure you don’t endanger your soldiers unnecessarily and [that you] achieve the mission but you can’t be the best tactician and terrible at leadership – you have to strike a balance between your personal characteristics and knowledge. I’m a captain, an officer who provides analytical support to operations.

I analyse the threat, any threat, to any Australian members and allied military members or to our mission. It’s complex but rewarding and I consider it a privilege to have commanded our “they soldiers overseas.” appreciate Hailey’s leadership extends beyond the so much” army. With International Women’s Day looming, she will be talking passionately about issues such as education, leadership and being a woman in Australian society.

With education, she focusses on three themes: one, it’s a gift, not a chore; two, distinguishing luxury from entitlement; and three, looking for opportunities and not excuses. On leadership, she highlights how leaders must first themselves learn to follow, how being loud doesn’t make a leader, and knowing the people you lead.

As regards women in Australian society, Hailey says women can often be their own worst enemies, focusing their attention on appearance over substance.

t’s one of the harshest terrains in the world. Summer temperatures soar into the 50s and winter nights can plummet to minus 15. Life in its small villages, or compounds, often without a roof overhead or a floor underneath, lacks even the simplest of creature comforts most of us take for granted.

Making matters worse in Afghanistan is its history – ancient and contemporary – of strife. Tribal conflict, belligerent neighbours, fierce warlords, religious fanatics and superpowers scrapping ferociously over her rugged, strategic landscape make life incredibly tough.

Talk to someone like Geelong expat and army officer Hailey* and the legacy of all this is apparent. Afghani people, she says, are extraordinarily resilient, tough as nails and, for all the ever-present menace, something else again – remarkably happy, charitable and gracious.

After eight months over 2011 and 2012 in the war-ravaged country, providing analytical support to Australian operations and undertaking patrols in the central province of Uruzgan, Hailey is a changed woman, due in part to the women she met there.

“People’s reaction to us was very positive in the places where I worked. They were happy to see us, to speak to us, but interacting with the women was particularly special. They were so excited to see us, they loved to talk to us,” Hailey says.

“These women lead tough lives in a very harsh environment. I went to an International Women’s Day event in Afghanistan where I met some truly extraordinary woman – the first female police officer and a female politician who had both overcome a lot of cultural challenges to get where they were, and women who had travelled for days to attend the event.

“The people I met were happy and very giving.

Considering their circumstances, their lives were quite amazing compared with our own. In Western culture, we focus so much on material things – these people have so little yet they appreciate so much.

“Those with the opportunity to go to school in Afghanistan see it as a wonderful thing … a cherished opportunity and kids will walk miles every day to go to school. Here it’s seen as an obligation – ‘Oh, do I really have to go to school?’

“On one operation, I interacted with some children and gave them some coloured pencils and notepads.

They were so thankful but they had no idea what they were. I sat down and drew pictures with them. They were four, five, six-year-olds and they had never seen pencils, but at home all our kids have iPads.”

Things are improving. The percentage of households with clean drinking water increased from 8 per cent in 2005 to 27 per cent in 2011 and the percentage of births attended by a skilled birth attendant increased from 6 per cent to 14 per cent over the same period.

But the past 30 years have witnessed all manner of strife with the Taliban, Mujahideen, Soviet forces, US forces, NATO forces and a Dutch-led reconstruction effort that included the Aussies. There’s a long way to go before life might ever be comfortable. Hailey is in

Around the world, about 80,000 members of Soroptimist International (SI) are working towards improving the lives of women.

In Geelong, the group has been running for 50 years and its 22 members, made up mostly of professional women, raise money to support local and international projects.

“Our aim is to raise the status of women, empowering them and helping them to achieve a better life through education, and much more,” says Kristin Cook, president of the Geelong group.

The group raises funds throughout the year with raffles, a Daffodil Day stand, Melbourne Cup lunches, movie nights and more. They meet on the second Tuesday of every month and are happy to welcome more members.

“We assisted a Drysdale group called Days for Girls, who were putting together sanitary kits to send to Africa,” Cook says.

“We’ve also raised money to buy a security camera for a safe house for victims of domestic violence.”

SI Geelong also provides bursaries for students studying year 11 and year 12.

Lulu Yohel, 19, and Dah Dah Poe, 18, from North Geelong Secondary College are in their second year of receiving the bursary.

Poe, who’s aspiring to be a youth worker, says she is thankful to SI for helping to pay for her schooling activities. Yohel aims to be a primary school teacher and the bursary is helping her reach her goals.

The group is holding an International Women’s Day Breakfast on March 5. Cook says they expect 130-150 people, including students and guest speakers.

“It’s a celebration of how far women have come and how much more they have to achieve,” she says. \ JULIA MILLARD

“Concentrating on people’s appearance over competence is perpetuated a lot to our detriment, not just by women, but we contribute,” she says.

“The fact that the sum is greater than the parts flows from this and women should be empowered, not afraid.

“I say 100 per cent of people who don’t try fail. We have opportunities presented to us in Australian society which, as young people, as women, we need to make the most of – because not everyone is born with these.”

CHARITY \ February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Retailer Plush is behind the cause, writes ANNA A KOSMANOVSKI

T

his month, Plush waves its blue flag high. It’s not just any blue but teal, the colour identified with ovarian cancer, as Plush joins other supporters nationwide to highlight the fight against this “silent killer”. This month, all Plush sofas are discounted, with donations to Ovarian Cancer Australia from every one sold.

“Whether it’s leather, fabric, four-seater, two-seater, three-seater, modular: every sofa and any permutation will make a contribution,” general manager Chris Burke says.

Plush was founded in Melbourne 14 years ago as Plush Leather and it has more than 30 showrooms across the country. It has supported the cause of ovarian cancer for years and is a major partner in the fight against the disease. Since 2013, the company has raised more than $200,000 for Ovarian Cancer Australia.

It’s a cause worth investing in. According to The Facts Ovarian Cancer Australia, only 43 per cent of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will be Every year about 1400 Australian women are alive five years later. Of them, 75 per cent are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and more than 1000 diagnosed at an advanced stage, when the will die from it. But if it’s found early enough, most of cancer is difficult to treat. those women will survive.

When Burke started at Plush in 2013, Ovarian cancer has the lowest survival rate of any women’s he – like many Australians – had no idea cancer, with only 43 per cent of women diagnosed with it still of the statistics surrounding this disease. alive five years after diagnosis.

Nor was he aware there’s still no early Although ovarian cancer can affect women of all ages, it’s detection test for it. most common in women over 50 and those who have stopped “When I joined the business, I was menstruating or been through menopause. unfamiliar with ovarian cancer,” Burke Symptoms of ovarian cancer can include abdominal or pelvic says. “When I did a bit of research, I was pain, increased abdominal size or persistent abdominal shocked at what I learnt.” bloating, needing to urinate often or urgently, and feeling Two facts were the most surprising. full after eating a small amount.

“First, the prognosis [once you’re There’s no early-detection test for this disease. diagnosed with ovarian cancer] is bleak,” he says. “More women than not, once diagnosed, » www.ovariancancer.net.au will have passed away after five years.

“Secondly only about 44 per cent of women know the signs to look out for. That didn’t surprise me as much because I would have no idea myself, [whereas] with breast cancer I would.”

Burke continued to research, and began to recognise the signs of hope in early detection and increased awareness.

Sofas For A Cause “When I read further, I understood that breast cancer used to have a very low survival rate as well,” he says.

“It was purely a matter of people knowing what to look for, realise what they had, and take earlier steps to get it treated and the cause investigated for treatment.”

Research soon turned to relationships, as Burke found himself affected by meeting women who had the disease – and relatives of others – through Ovarian Cancer Australia.

“It felt all the more personal and real … when you’re talking to people so heavily involved and so personally involved,” he says.

“I was very moved and, therefore, inspired to try to do more as a partnership between the Plush business and them [Ovarian Cancer Australia].”

These days, Plush does more than merely turning teal in February.

There are donations year-round from the sales of one of its bestsellers.

“One of our popular sofas is called the Snuggle,” says Burke. “Every time we sell one, we make a donation to ovarian cancer.”

But it’s the February goal that keeps the Plush team especially motivated: this year they aim to donate $50,000 to Ovarian Cancer Australia.

February is the shortest month but, based on results from last year, Plush’s people are expecting plenty of interest from those shopping for a sofa – even if it takes until the 11th hour.

“While we still believe the $50,000 is possible, our preference is to under-promise and over-deliver,” Burke says.

“As with any promotion, lots of people look at things and they have a think about it and they tend to come in

towards the end of the promotion … so we won’t know until virtually the last day of February, when we get the rush on.

“To help that, what we’re doing is offering special pricing on all products.”

On top of all that, the Plush team will merge its teal with its tea – for an event called Breakfast Teal.

“We have ribbons for sale and we hold Breakfast Teal events,” Burke says.

“It’s the colour of ovarian cancer, in the same way that pink is very well known for breast cancer.

“We’re thrilled. Since we started doing more and promoting it more, we’ve been able to contribute quite a bit of cash, which has been to such a good cause, and we look forward to continuing to do so.” \

The good fight: Chris Burke has taken up the fund-raising fight for ovarian cancer.

scar award-winning costume designer Catherine Martin answers my call with a gentle warning. “I may have to cut you off as my kids are about to come home and I probably won’t be able to hear you; they are ratbags,” she says jokingly, referring to her 12-year-old, Lillian, and 10-year-old, William.

And she’s right. As soon as that front door swings open, she’s covering the handset so I don’t hear any more than a muffled sound from her children.

Martin, 50, might be a four-time Academy Award-winner for the eye-popping costumes and sets she has designed for films directed by her husband Baz Luhrmann, including Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby, but the woman who answers the phone is going Gatsby about her daily routine much like any other working mother – juggling work and family.

“Being an Academy Award-winner has only changed the way that people look at me rather than the way I look at myself,” says Martin, who has designed outfits for Leonardo DiCaprio and Nicole Kidman, and sits front row at Paris Fashion Week with American Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

“Life doesn’t really change much. I am still up at 6am in the freezing cold trying to make the dog go to the loo in the backyard because he doesn’t like to be outside alone,” says Martin, who lives in New York. “I’m also the one wondering if the kids are adequately dressed, are they in the car on time to be at school in 20 minutes.

That’s what real life is about. In work I am pretty

confident and organised but with my personal life, all those fears take over, the little things of have I done that yet or not.”

Twenty three years after Baz Luhrmann’s breakthrough film Strictly Ballroom hit the big screen, catapulting Martin and Luhrmann on to the world stage, the director has reimagined the story as an all-singing, all-dancing stage musical. The dazzling production, with Geelong’s Sophia Katos as part of the cast, has opened in Melbourne at her Majesty’s.

Collaborating with Luhrmann, with financial backing from Global Creatures (which produced King Kong Kong), Martin brings her brilliant know-how to the set with an abundance of vivacious costumes and dazzling colour that evokes ’80s Australian fashion.

Like the film that preceded it, Strictly Ballroom the musical tells the story of a championship ballroom dancer who follows his heart. It’s a show full of big hair, bigger dreams and lots and lots of dancing.

Martin describes herself as a perfectionist. She continues to draw on the talents of her “golden girls” – the seamstresses who have worked with her for 25 years and whom she thanked in her Oscars acceptance speech last March, when picking up the best costume gong for Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby.

The team has remained constant but the budgets have burgeoned. “When we made the Strictly Ballroom movie on a tiny budget we used chicken feathers because they were cheap and we could sweep the floor between takes when they would moult from the costumes,” she says.

“You can’t do that with a stage show. These dancers move a lot and we needed good-quality feathers.

“It’s the small things that occupy my mind. We had to go for ostrich feathers; they can stand the test of time a lot better.”

Martin was born in Sydney and attended North Sydney Girls High School. School holidays were often spent in her mother’s native France – her parents met while studying in Paris and moved to Australia in 1961.

Martin studied visual art at Sydney College of the Arts and later pattern making. But it was a design diploma course at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) that would change the course of her life. It was here she met Luhrmann, later working on costume and set design for several of his early stage productions, including Diary of a Madman starring Geoffrey Rush, La Bohème and A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the late ’80s and early ’90s. They married in 1997.

She says that, at work, Luhrmann takes the lead in setting the direction of their projects. “I am part of that decision-making process but he drives that creative plane,” she says.

“in work i’m pretty confident & organised but with my personal life, all those fears take you over” She says she’ll probably work until she has “one foot in the grave” but her time with Luhrmann outside work is precious. Every Saturday, the couple book themselves into a hotel, go out for dinner and have couple time.

“It’s our time to connect as humans,” says Martin.

“We actively made a decision to do this because at home you can tend to get comfortable in your pyjamas and forget to pay attention to one another. This does require a certain amount of discipline.

“Sometimes we’re like, ‘Oh really, I’d much rather be at home’, but we get dressed up and make it an occasion and come out of it the next day as better people, better humans, partners and parents.”

Martin counts some of the biggest names in the film and fashion industry among her closest friends.

She directed a catwalk show for Collette Dinnigan at

the Louvre in Paris in 1998, and in 2004 teamed with Karl Lagerfeld on No.5: The Film – Chanel’s global advertorial campaign starring Nicole Kidman.

Martin usually chooses her own outfits for red carpet events. But when it came to selecting a gown for last year’s Oscars, she called on Italian designer Miuccia Prada to help out.

“I saw the fabric and loved the print,” says Martin of the head-turning gown she wore that night. “I have always been a big fan of the 1940s [and] that period just before the war when floral print was heavily used. You see it a lot in the movie Australia and through the outfits I designed for Nicole Kidman. During that era, prints became big in fashion and it came back in the ’50s with Dior. Miuccia is a very good friend and she designed that for me and I was thrilled to wear it.”

Martin and Luhrmann have called New York home since 1992, when the runaway success of Strictly Ballroom began opening doors for them in the US. But, while she says they love living in New York, “Australia is home and we still have our property in Sydney”.

This year, Luhrmann and Martin will continue their creative powerhouse double act, working with award-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis on a TV documentary series set in 1970s New York, charting the rise and impact of hip-hop.

“It’s the first time I will be set designing for an era I have lived through,” says Martin.

She credits her extensive travels and her French/ Australian heritage with inspiring her approach to design. “Travel is important and we did it for a long time,” she says. “That said, we decided to spend Christmas at home recently because our kids spend a lot of the time traipsing around with us. There is nothing quite like being home.” \ jrocca@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.strictlyballroomthemusical.com/tickets/ melbourne

“We have the entire range of National Diabetes Services Scheme products and services and stock all the major insulin types, or we can access them within 24 hours.”

Blood-sugar readings can be downloaded in-store for a patient’s records, or for them to take to their doctor.

“We help patients to interpret unusual high or low readings and work with them to stabilise these. This include high and low readings, average readings of previous weeks and months, trends of readings, graphs and more,” Pyne says.

Patients will learn how to use blood-sugar meters and how to check, calibrate and troubleshoot problems with the meters.

There will also be tips about diet and exercise, including free local travel maps that show where patients can exercise, and recipe books.

An in-store naturopath, who is available four days a week, can advise on natural medications that will help maintain a healthy blood-sugar level.

he number of people with diabetes is growing at an alarming rate. According to 2013 figures from the National Diabetes Service Scheme, almost 12,000 people in Geelong have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Around the world, 387 million people have diabetes.

By 2035, that is expected to rise to 592 million.

To help with what many health professionals regard as an epidemic, Community Care Chemist in North Geelong is offering in-store sessions with a diabetes educator.

The sessions are designed to help those who are at risk of developing diabetes or are pre-diabetic (a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal), or those already diagnosed with diabetes. Medicare rebates are available for diabetes patients who are referred by a GP or endocrinologist.

Pharmacist and store manager David Pyne says diabetes is a major issue that the pharmacy can help the community with.

Those who are interested in the in-store sessions should first check their diabetes risk factors. These include family history and other health conditions, including obesity, smoking, heart disease and high blood pressure.

They should follow up with a spot-check of blood-sugar levels, and then go to a GP if necessary, Pyne says.

T

he past and present live in perfect harmony in this renovated Californian bungalow. The four-bedroom house seamlessly blends elegant period features with more modern open-plan living. Even in the newer sections, the beautiful styling never strays far from the house’s roots.

From the street, the single-fronted white weatherboard house appears deceptively modest. A second storey – discreetly sitting over the back half of the house – is almost obscured from view, so the extra space it provides is something of a revelation.

Period features, including leadlight windows, high ceilings and decorative plasterwork, imbue the front section of the house with a strong sense of character. Back-to-back working fireplaces with timber mantels and tiled surrounds are the highlight of the cosy front lounge and adjoining dining area.

Timber flooring adds to the warm feel of these rooms.

The two downstairs bedrooms come off the front living areas. Both benefit from wool carpet and built-in wardrobes with frosted sliding doors.

At the back of the house, the dining room leads into the main family room and kitchen. Stacking timber doors link this hub to the outside. There’s a spotted gum deck across the back of the house, while an adjoining paved area is designed to accommodate an outdoor setting.

The compact yard delivers maximum impact, thanks to attractive landscaping with retaining walls built from railway sleepers and sections of dry stone wall. The lawn is still a vibrant green, even in mid-summer, and is edged with plants.

Back inside, the kitchen not only looks great but has been designed with serious home cooks in mind. The combination of cream cabinetry, a splashback of handmade Spanish tiles and feature lighting suits the heritage tone of the house. Then there’s Italian tapware, soft-closing drawers, an LED lighting strip, an appliance cupboard and Siemens appliances, including a five-burner gas cooktop, a pyrolytic oven with matching combi steam oven, and integrated dishwasher.

The downstairs bathroom and laundry are on either side of the stairs opposite the dining room. Both have modern finishes, and the custom-designed laundry can be hidden behind a concealed sliding door.

Upstairs are two more bedrooms. The main, at the rear, has a walk-in wardrobe and a balcony overlooking the backyard. A ceiling fan and split-system air-conditioner should keep things cool in summer.

The bathroom next door has modern finishes, including porcelain tiles, a frameless glass shower and floating stone vanity. There’s also a separate powder room.

The roof cavity of the original front section of the house has been converted into a long, carpeted living room or storage area. Most people would need to duck under the low roofline but it would make a heavenly playroom for children.

There is a more storage room above the double garage at the back of the property. This space could also serve as a studio or even a fifth bedroom. The garage is styled to match the house’s character and is accessed from a rear lane.

The property is close to the Garden Street café and shopping strip and is within walking distance of Geelong’s waterfront and South Geelong train station. \ NICOLE MAYNE property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Live among the vines at this stunning property in the heart of the Bellarine Peninsula wine region. Set on five hectares, the three-bedroom stone house has panoramic views over Corio Bay and the You Yangs. It comes with a small vineyard that produces shiraz and verdelho varieties. The floor plan maximises the vistas from almost every room. A central open-plan living area sits between the main bedroom at one end and the remaining bedrooms at the other. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the outlook from the tiled kitchen, dining and casual living room. A stone feature wall divides this space from a larger adjoining lounge. From the main bedroom you can wake up and check the ships passing by or open the door on to the vine-covered verandah. At the other end there are two further bedrooms, a bathroom, separate toilet and laundry. Outside there is a large shed with an internal coolroom suitable for winemaking. Several tanks help water the vegetable patch and established orchard. \ NICOLE MAYNE

Put your stamp on this classic red-brick house in a popular Belmont Street. The three-bedroom house is on the market for the first time since 1954 and retains its original design and décor. There is great potential to extend or renovate to take further advantage of the north-facing backyard. The floor plan offers three bedrooms, one bathroom, a large lounge room and combined kitchen/meals area. There are two bedrooms off the entrance hallway, with polished floorboards and built-in wardrobes. Across the hall, the lounge has a corner window and gas heater for winter warmth.

A two-way decorative timber and glass cabinet connects this living room to the original kitchen and meals area behind. The laundry and bathroom are spacious – the latter has a step up to a sunken bath and separate toilet. The smaller third bedroom is off a mud room at the rear.

Established trees provide privacy and shade in the backyard. At the bottom of the garden is a lock-up single-car garage off a rear lane. \ NICOLE MAYNE

One of Geelong’s favourite shopping and café strips is on the doorstep of this low-maintenance townhouse. The neat and rendered property is just off Pakington Street and is ideal for those who want to spend more time out, enjoying themselves, and less on domestic duties. The two-storey design conveniently divides the living spaces on the ground floor from the three bedrooms in the quiet zone upstairs. Downstairs, you’ll find a carpeted formal lounge off the tiled entrance hallway.

It has french doors onto the secure front garden where an established olive tree provides privacy. The hallway extends past a powder room to the dining room and kitchen, which has stainless-steel appliances. This room flows out to a newly turfed outdoor area and covered walkway to a two-car carport and storage area. The main bedroom upstairs has a balcony, en suite and walk-in wardrobe while a second bathroom serves the other bedrooms. The oversized landing with its attractive window would make a great study or reading nook. \ NICOLE MAYNE

Don’t be deceived by the lovely Federation-style façade of this East Geelong property. Behind the weatherboard exterior lies a thoroughly modern interior designed for open-plan living. An architect helped reconfigure the original house, which dates to the late 1800s. His vision draws on soaring, angled ceilings and bifold doors in the main living zone to create a sense of space and light. The kitchen, lounge and dining area form the centre of the house. It opens out to a pergola and small, lush yard. Kids will love the in-ground trampoline. There is ample space in the corner kitchen, which teams black benchtops with cream cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Dining takes centre stage on a raised jarrah timber platform. There are echoes of the past in the sash windows that adorn the front study and main bedroom. The latter has an en suite and walk-in wardrobe and there’s another bathroom between the two bedrooms at the back of the house. Both of these have built-in wardrobes and sliding doors out to compact courtyards. \ NICOLE MAYNE

38 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ FEBRUARY 19, 2015

HIGHTON \ 9 HIGHLAND WAY Prepare to be surprised when you step inside this custom-built house in Highton. Behind the modest single-level façade is a spacious two-storey retreat with two living areas, up to six bedrooms and an in-ground pool. Throw into the mix a 1000-square-metre allotment with views and you have a top recipe for a quality family home.

Inside, the décor takes many of its cues from traditional period styling. This is particularly true of the formal lounge and dining room where you’ll find two-tone walls, decorative plaster mouldings and a classic fireplace.

For everyday living, families can congregate in the spacious kitchen and meals area and adjoining lounge. Quiet nooks – including a window seat by the dining table – are dotted throughout, offering peaceful places to take in the view. These seats, replicated upstairs, also provide handy storage space.

Everything is immaculately presented, from the 2pac kitchen to the covered deck and extensive brick paving outside.

There is one bedroom with an interconnecting study and two-way bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, including the main bedroom with a balcony, walk-in wardrobe and en suite.

Both the remaining bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and desks – one of them also has an interconnecting room that could serve as a study or another bedroom. \ NICOLE MAYNE

Californian bungalow at 3 Summer Street, East Geelong, felt the love from prospective buyers when it went to auction on Valentine’s Day. Four bidders fell under the spell of the updated weatherboard house in a premium location near Eastern Park.

Ray White auctioneer David Cortous eventually sold it for $445,000, well above the reserve, before a crowd of about 100.

Just across town in South Geelong, Maxwell Collins kicked off its 2015 auction schedule with a character house at 30 Park Crescent.

It was in need of some tender, loving care but that didn’t deter five genuine bidders, who put in 38 bids. In the end auctioneer Peter Maxwell brought the hammer down at $520,000. \

Are rare opportunity with two homes on one lot this is the perfect property to add to your investment portfolio. Astute buyers will be tempted here as the property has a multitude of options. Set on 627sqm (approx.) with wide side drive access, you can lease out the property as an entirety or lease the front and rear houses separately. Subdivide and sell off (STCA) or sit and watch the property appreciate! Home one is in neat original condition offering 2 BRs (potential for a 3rd), and a spacious kitchen & living zone. Home two has been updated and offers 2 BRs, 2 living areas, new kitchen and central bathroom all dressed with polished boards. Outside, a single LUG & carport with enough clearance along the side of the home to allow access if you were to subdivide (STCA).

The possibility of splitting these homes onto separate titles make this property a sound investment with supermarkets, schools, public transport and ring road just moments away.
