But, by the same token, many a time I’ve been stretched out on a banana lounge in the backyard and heard someone from over yonder sneeze, start up their mower or yell at their kid.

ote to everyone and special note to self: backyards are not soundproof. I know this because once, just after we moved into our house, I was hanging out the washing and my neighbour put his head over the fence and said, “Gee, you really do like a gin and tonic, don’t you?” I wanted to say, “Well yes, David, and you like a noisy midnight spa with your girlfriend”, but I didn’t because I am not like that. I’d also like to have asked him if he would please keep a check on how often he puts on his Glen Campbell album, which I suspect might be the only one he owns. We love our backyards. They are our little private fresh-air sanctuaries, which is why it is often easy to forget they are not so private. Those wooden fences might offer the illusion of separateness, but they don’t keep many secrets. Once we were out walking our dogs and a couple stopped us in the street and asked which of our canines was called Bella, and which one was Wolfie. I’d never seen these

tell us

people before, and then they announced that they lived behind us and could we stop emptying the kiddie pool on the grass because the water was running under the fence. Which made me wonder, what else might they know about us? Did they hear us that time we had a barney over where the compost bin should go, and all the times I’ve yelled for the kids to come inside because dinner is on the table and this is not a hotel so you will need to get yourself a glass of water? And how did they feel the night we sat around on the deck with friends, singing Rod Stewart songs because of all the champagne? I am Sailing might have sounded better to us when belted out under the stars, but I’m

Dave’s gone now and we have new neighbours who are magnificent because they clearly understand how to walk that fine line between friendly and helpful but not too much so. I have a key to their house in case they lock themselves out, we water each other’s gardens and chat on the way to school with the kids. While we sometimes feel the need to apologise for tantrums we may or may not have overheard from each other’s houses, never, ever have they commented on my summer evening intake of gin. ● khall@theweeklyreview.com.au www.facebook.com/ theweeklyreviewgreatergeelong

A QUICK CHAT WITH … JOAN MCGOVERN

About Joan

Seven years ago Joan and Peter McGovern launched Camilo. Their oils are now rated among the world’s best.

Contact us GENERAL ADVERTISING & EDITORIAL INQUIRIES \ 5247 5110 DISTRIBUTION \ 1800 032 472 distribution@theweeklyreview.com.au

Camilo Olives was launched … about 2008 after planting olives at our farm on the western edge of Teesdale in 2002. We decided to start the business because … of the lifestyle and we thought it would give us a superannuation income. Ha!

We produce … ultra premium EVOOs, infused EVOOs, olive salts, tapenade and other farm-based gourmet foods. A typical working day for me … starts about 7am with a walk with Max (our boxer dog and “grove supervisor”) before checking emails, planning the day with the team, talking to our export customers, doing documentation and invoices and as well as being hands-on in the factory when needed. In the afternoon Max gets his second walk for the day, we feed the horses and then I do emails again – often well into the night. Our products are available in Geelong at … East Fruit Market, Harvey’s of Highton, House Iberia, Kilgour Street Grocer and Cafe, The Food Purveyor, Warren & Hutch – and further out

(SUPPLIED)

When we started we had … lots of ambition, aiming at creating world-class extra virgin olive oils (EVOO). We knew nothing about farming or olives. It was a steep learning curve. at places like Jack Rabbit, Flying Brick Cider Company, Mt Duneed Estate – to name but a few. My favourite way to use extra virgin olive oil is … a recent favourite is our lemon myrtle infusion in potato mash. Delicious! We export to … Japan, Taiwan and Canada and our oils are sold in America to subscribers of an olive oil club that follows the harvest around the world and chooses the best three oils in each country. I love my job because … I work with a passionate, energetic bunch of people who love Camilo as much as I do. We get enormous accolades around the world (yes, sounds a bit OTT but it’s true) and succeeding internationally against the best in the world is good for the ego.

The most challenging part of my job is … when something goes wrong, making it right!

SALES & MARKETING MANAGER \ GREATER GEELONG \ KRISTIE ROBERTSON krobertson@theweeklyreview.com.au 5247 5110

Running a family business is … rewarding but at the same time difficult because being profitable is always a struggle.

EDITOR \ BOB OSBURN bosburn@theweeklyreview.com.au 5247 5113

The highlight of owning Camilo Olives so far has been … achieving our aspirations by being listed from 2011-2015 (and 2016 too) in the global buyer’s guide to extra virgin olive oil (Flos Olei). The book profiles the top 500 groves in the world and that is a great accolade. The best advice I was ever given was … don’t sweat the small stuff. My favourite way to relax is … with my husband, a glass of hoppy beer and with Max at my side. My favourite thing to do in Geelong is … buy super fresh fish and chips and sit by Corio Bay and watch the ships sail by. Geelong is (describe it in three words) … changing, energetic, beautiful. The best place to go for a bite to eat/drink/coffee in Geelong is … Le Parisien. They have been Camilo customers since we launched. ● With JESSICA GABITES

he Weekly Review magazine this week proudly celebrates its third birthday, bringing to Geelong its very own magazine that reflects the best of the city we live in. The Weekly Review has continued to deliver on its commitment to promote the region’s powerful sense of community. For three years, it has built on its reputation for celebrating the city’s people, their ambitions and achievements. Through positive and uplifting journalism, this magazine informs and entertains by delivering what readers have told us they want – local news, events and profiles featuring local people, our community advocates and decision makers. Geelong is a major regional city in transition, reinventing its employment sector, reviving its city centre and as mayor Darryn Lyons says, becoming “a smart 21st-century city”. The Weekly Review has been a key to highlighting its success stories, promoting change and optimism and the liveability of this wonderful city. We showcase the innovations of business and industry, the prowess of our sporting heroes and all of those among us who have a good story to tell. In just three years, this magazine has consolidated its position as the publication that celebrates our city. 6 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ NOVEMBER 19, 2015

Three-quarters of you keep the magazine in your homes for three or more days. We are proud to be the best-quality lifestyle and real estate magazine in the market and value the support of our real estate partners and their teams who showcase the biggest selection of Geelong’s best property each week.

We love The Weekly

KELLY CARTWRIGHT \ Paralympian Geelong Paralympian Kelly Cartwright believes local media coverage is important to provide Geelong sportspeople with local followers, recognition and encouragement. “It’s so important, everyone trains so hard and some don’t make it to the Olympics or some don’t want to, but it’s nice to be recognised, nice to have followers and nice to have support from your local community,” Kelly says. “Any recognition of sportspeople helps provide them with sponsorship, followers and support so I definitely think coverage in The Weekly Review has helped in that way to get names out there. “For me, my story in The Weekly Review last year definitely helped with my profile. But I’m from Geelong, so the Geelong community got behind me with my first running event. The story gave them something back and I was able to share my journey with the people who had followed me from the beginning, so I appreciated that a lot.” More specifically, Kelly says, the coverage in The Weekly Review helped to highlight an important message. “Having a disability and playing sport and being in the magazine is definitely showing other people, parents and children with disabilities that there are so many options out there for them to do,” Kelly says. “It guides them in the right direction and shows them opportunities for Paralympians and people with disabilities. I think that’s really important. “Geelong isn’t tiny, but it’s a close-knit community and to see our locals, including myself, being in the magazine motivates everyone to keep going and shows there are people in Geelong who are doing great things. “Thanks to The Weekly Review for always recognising local sporting people – whether we are from small sporting clubs or world champions, we all appreciate it.” ●

“To see locals, including myself, in the magazine motivates everyone” – kelly cartwright

DARRYN LYONS \ Geelong Mayor Geelong mayor Darryn Lyons says he always looks forward to reading local stories in The Weekly Review Review. “The weekly magazine is full of positive news promoting Geelong people, businesses, and telling stories that matter,” he says. “It is always great to read about local achievements and to celebrate our success stories.” Geelong has many things to be proud of, he adds. “We have high-tech innovation, beautiful tourism destinations, outstanding cafes and restaurants, and it is all captured right here. We are a smart 21st-century city.” The mayor has featured in The Weekly Review numerous times, covering a range of topics. “I’ve shared many stories ranging from my wardrobe, reflecting on my first year in office and talking about the $45.5-million Geelong library and heritage centre,” Darryn says. “Happy third birthday, The Weekly Review Review, from the mayor. Congratulations and I look forward to many more birthdays.” ●

REBECCA CASSON \

CEO, Committee for Greater Geelong

The Committee for Geelong and its chief executive, Rebecca Casson, congratulate The Weekly Review on this terrific milestone. “For three years it has successfully delivered stories of Geelong’s transformation to 75,000 doors across the region,” Rebecca says. The Committee for Geelong is an apolitical, independent organisation. One of its strategic objectives is to actively support the development of social infrastructure that enhances the liveability of Geelong. “We are pleased that The Weekly Review does similar work through its publication by promoting the successes of small business, industry leaders and individuals in our wonderful region,” Rebecca says. “Great stories help to build the strong sense of community in a tight-knit place like Geelong. “We hope The Weekly Review continues to share and document the stories of our region as it transforms for many years to come.” ● JULIA MILLARD jmillard@theweeklyreview.com.au

FOOD BITES

“You are what you eat. For example, if you eat garlic you’re apt to be a hermit” – Franklin P. Jones

ong before most of us think of rolling out of bed, the head chef at Geelong’s new yum cha restaurant Golden Dragon is already in the kitchen. Sam Sun starts work at 4am every day, making the dough and fillings for his long list of menu items. The Hong Kong-trained chef prides himself on freshness and makes all the dishes – from steamed buns and won tons through to spring rolls – from scratch. It’s a time consuming process but one that gives Geelong’s first daily yum cha restaurant an authentic flavour. “Our speciality is that our chef makes everything from scratch; many other places they get it frozen,” Golden Dragon owner Bryan Mu says. “And when you bite it you can tell it’s fresh, the meat is juicy.” Sam was lured to Geelong from Melbourne’s Chinatown and has 30 years experience in cooking Hong Kong-style cuisine. His signature yum cha dishes include steamed pork and shrimp dumplings ($5), steamed prawn dumplings ($7) and barbecue pork buns ($5). There are also rice noodle rolls filled with meat or green vegetables. These and plenty more choices also feature

as entree items on the extensive regular menu that offers all the traditional Chinese restaurant favourites with various proteins, noodles and rice dishes. Gluten free is available with advance notice and there are plans to introduce more vegetarian dishes. Bryan says it’s hard to go past the crispiness of the roasted duck ($18 for half a bird), served with Sam’s secret sauce instead of the traditional plum sauce. The chef’s cooking has even changed his opinion of spring rolls. “Before I didn’t really eat them because they were too common but when I tried the ones here it tasted so good.” Bryan says that as the owner he must be happy to sit down and enjoy the food every day so he can ensure his customers feel the same. “The things people say about the food is that it is fresh, it is tasty and they don’t need to drive to Melbourne any more,” he says. “It is very good to see customers come here for lunch and come back for dinner.” Golden Dragon occupies the site of the former bank on the corner of Moorabool and Ryrie streets.

in the lead-up to Christmas, an interesting bubbly popped up – a petillant naturel from the Yarra Valley. Made in the Loire Valley a couple of hundred years before champagne was “discovered” by Dom Perignon, “pet-nat” is winemaking at its purest and simplest. Grapes are picked and pressed into a tank for fermentation. Just before the juice has finished fermentation, it’s bottled. The fermentation finishes in the bottle and the result is vibrant and oh-so-easy to drink. The wines are often cloudy, but don’t let that stand in the way of the enjoyment. This technique is different to methode champenoise, which is how champagne is made. It involves blending still wines together before adding sugar and yeast to re-ferment and create the bubbles in the bottle. Pet-nat, or methode ancestral as it’s also known, has to be bottled right in the middle of the wine vintage. On the day, the winemaker has to drop everything to get the wine into the bottle and seal with a crown seal. ● BEN THOMAS bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

FINE

FUN

A blend of chardonnay and savagnin from the Yarra Valley, the 2014 Punch Rurale ($32) pet-nat is delightfully floral and pretty, with yeasty, peachy, lemon-zest aromas. It goes down easily – it’s bright and fleshy in the mouth, with zip, refreshment and good length.

FUN The Smallfry mallfry biodynamic pet-nat rosé ($48), a blend of cinsault and grenache, is a cloudy pink and smells delightfully of strawberry and raspberry. It’s dry, creamy smooth and has a gentle fizz that doubles the refreshment factor.

THE FIND

It’s close enough to Christmas to start dreaming about puddings, especially those from Pud for All Seasons. Handmade in Castlemaine by owner Karen Kelly, this highquality range includes traditional Christmas puddings, date and butterscotch and double chocolate with orange and Cointreau. There’s also a fruit-packed white chocolate and cranberry pudding in a gorgeous red cloth. ●

when he drove down from Melbourne to inspect it after chancing upon a small ad in a Chinese newspaper. He had never been to Geelong but decided it was the perfect spot for a yum cha restaurant. In Beijing, where he grew up, this style of eating was a weekend ritual where families and friends sat down together to chat and share tea and food. He hopes to recreate that same sense of community under the soaring ceilings of this former bank that have been subtly decorated to reflect the Chinese influence. “We have people come in who have worked in China and Hong Kong, sometimes they speak Chinese with us,” he says. “It takes them back.” Golden Dragon Restaurant, which seats 80 people, can be booked for functions and birthdays.

18 months ago, this shopfront became available. The location – especially the free parking out the front – ticked all the boxes. “Belmont does not have a lot to offer, especially down this end,” Dee says. “We wanted to offer something that was fast and convenient and catered for a wide range of people.” This desire for broad appeal was one of the reasons they gravitated to Roastcraft coffee from North Geelong. “We did not want to use the same coffee that everyone was using,” Dee says. “We wanted local and there was nothing really local that stood up to Roastcraft.” They serve the award-winning Cadenza blend, which has a nutty, dark cocoa flavour well suited to milk-based coffees. “I really like the chocolate undertones and it is always consistent,” she says. “I am not really keen on the whole mixing of fruit with the milk flavours.” Dee worked in retail before honing her

coffee craft at Bean Squeeze and then in city cafes. “I used to work in Westfield and I was getting my coffee at the Bridge Room [now Launch] and I just got so addicted to everything about it,” she says. “I just needed to get in there and make coffee so I could drink coffee.” The couple work 12-hour days in the business, making everything from scratch except for the Noisette bread. Their breakfast menu has a big following, while Dee says she can’t go past the smoky beef brisket roll served with barbecued onion, lettuce and chipotle mayo ($9.80). There’s usually hummingbird cake and brownies on offer, or a decadent choc espresso sandwich biscuit. “We like our customers to be happy with the food and the freshness of everything,” Chris says. “We try to do simple things really well.” ● NICOLE MAYNE

hris and Dee Lyons struggled for a long time to come up with the perfect name for their Belmont cafe. They were looking for something different for their first food and coffee venture and wrote numerous lists before Feed My Mojo finally popped into their heads. “I have always loved the name Mojo from when I was younger and listening to the Doors all the time and that was Jim Morrison’s alias,” Dee says. “I ended up naming a cat Mojo and we were struggling for a name for this place; we wanted it to be different.” Feed My Mojo, just a few doors down from Kmart at Belmont Village Shopping Centre, is certainly full of surprises, particularly for those who used to frequent the chicken shop that once occupied the space. Chris and Dee have transformed the shop from a shade of “greasy white” into a fresh cafe serving Roastcraft speciality coffee and quality food, most of it made on-site. They still get the odd person walking in asking for potato gems but have won over old and new customers with their Roastcraft coffee and own brand of “dude food” and homemade cakes. Chris, a chef of more than 20 years’ experience, including long stints at The Pier and Sawyers Arms Tavern, is responsible for the food. Together with barista Dee, who churns out consistently good coffee from “Larry”, their prized La Marzocco machine, they make the perfect hospitality team. But their talents aren’t restricted to food and beverages. Dee also created the artwork displayed in the cafe, most of which is inspired by paper cranes. The couple had wanted to open a cafe together for a long time. Then, about

Scotchman’s Hill has reason to celebrate, after producing Geelong’s and the Bellarine’s highest-performing wine at the recent Great Australian Shiraz Challenge. Its award-winning 2013 Scotchman’s Hill Shiraz earned a top-five ranking and was one of only four wines to score 19 points. The challenge, in its 21st year, is one of Australia’s most highly regarded singleclass wine competitions. It was another nod to the quality of the Scotchman’s Hill shiraz, after James Halliday recently awarded it 96 points in the 2016 James Halliday Australian Wine Companion.

NAKED CHEF SUCCESS

As Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food celebrates three years since opening its doors in Geelong, a new study of the home-cooking skills program shows it helps to achieve long-term changes in eating and food preparation. Recent research by Deakin and Melbourne universities found Jamie’s Ministry of Food increased participants’ cooking confidence and led to healthier eating. More than 5000 people have benefited from the program, with the study revealing Geelong residents consume 2500 more cups of vegetables a day as a result.

WINE WINNERS

Local wineries cleaned up at the recent Victorian Wines Show. Gold medals were won by Oakdene Wines (2014 William Single Vineyard Shiraz) and Del Rios of Mount Anakie (2013 Chardonnay, left). Silver medals went to Brown Magpie Wines (2015 Single Vineyard Pinot Gris), Yes Said the Seal (2014 Yes Said the Seal Pinot Noir), Del Rios (2013 Pinot Noir), Dinny Goonan Wines (2013 Single Vineyard Shiraz) and Oakdene Wines (2013 Single Vineyard William Shiraz).

OUR FLOATING CHRISTMAS TREE a dazzler Geelong’s floating Christmas tree is back in the bay and it wowed more than 10,000 people at the official lighting ceremony. Seven-year-old Geelong College student Harry McLean also put on a show for the audience by helping mayor Darryn Lyons to officially switch on the lights. Harry was the lucky winner of the City of Greater Geelong Christmas colouring competition. Cr Lyons said his golden ticket winner was a true crowd-pleaser. “As soon as the lights and music started Harry took over the stage and danced up a storm,” Cr Lyons said. “Santa also jumped on stage, waving to the crowd, before dashing off to the North Pole. “The crowd loved the new light show, music and smoke machine. The atmosphere was electric,” he said. This year, the tree will have three different light and music shows. The first show will be on display until December 3, show two will go from December 4 to December 25 and there will be celebratory/party music from December 26 to January 7 to finish it off. The Geelong Waterfront will be illuminated each night until January 7 from 8.30pm until midnight. The 25-metre tree will feature light shows every half an hour. ●

t was the botanical equivalent of finding a Tasmanian tiger. In 2009, two plants of a native species of dwarf spider orchid (Caladenia pumila) – not seen since 1926 and thought to be extinct – were discovered in the Inverleigh region. After hearing the story, award-winning fine artist Amanda Blake-Sutterby was inspired to paint the rare and delicate orchid. Her work featured in a recent botanical exhibition at art@wintergarden. “Before that the only image of this species was a watercolour painting by renowned orchidologist William H. Nicholls. But now seed is being collected and plants propagated with a view to eventually reintroducing them to the wild, which is very exciting,” Amanda says. She was born in Stawell and grew up in the country. Her family had a farm, and Amanda’s childhood was one of exploration. Her parents have since turned to growing organic vegetables and medicinal herbs. They run Bellellen Grampians Organics. “I studied physiotherapy but have always maintained my art as a hobby, initially doing bushscapes and homestead commissions for people,” Amanda says. “I got a perfect score in year 12 art at school and art is still a big part of my life, along with being a physiotherapist.” Anatomy has always been one of Amanda’s favourite subjects. It combines well with her fascination with wildflowers. “I’m also intrigued by the anatomy of plants. I’m driven by that and conservation,” she says. “Botanical art is a scientific form of art. Orchids are intriguing and really quite complex, particularly because of their unique structure.” Orchids have male and female parts and rely on wasps and bees for pollination. In turn, the seed needs a particular fungus to germinate. “The planets have all got to align for it to happen, so you wonder how they have survived at all,” Amanda says. “I paint things in their entirety – the plant, root system, bud, full flower and from the side and behind, so it gives you all aspects.” In her work, Amanda spends a lot of time talking with botanists and entomologists. They will even pull

plants out of the ground to study the roots and tuber. “You have to show everything in one painting,” she says. “It’s an intricate storybook on one sheet of paper and everything has to be accurate in size and colour.” Amanda has also painted two endangered orchids that are found near Stawell. She submitted those works for an exhibition at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne. “They have a very stringent selection process and I was delighted they were accepted for the exhibition, and one of the paintings has also been selected by the Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens to go on their 2016 calendar,” she says.

“It is very exciting to have your work featured in a publication like that.’’ This month, Amanda’s works are part of an exhibition at Metropolis Gallery. In Landscape also features works by Susan Sutton and Kayo Yokoyama. “It features my bushscapes, where I want people to feel they are within the painting rather than an observer, while Susan’s will be seascapes so there is land and sea,” she says. ● gthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au » In Landscape.

A CLOSE SHAVE WITH A DEADLY EARTHQUAKE HAS CHANGED A HIGHTON MAN’S LIFE, WRITES ANNA KOSMANOVSKI

STEVE BEATTY

(REG RYAN)

last-minute decision to turn back from going to Mount Everest base camp could have saved Steve Beatty’s life. On the morning of the April earthquake in Nepal this year, the Highton man was on holiday in Nepal and making his way towards Mount Everest. Having already trekked different parts of the country before his visit this year, Steve – along with his guide, Nishan Thapa Magar – was trekking to Everest base camp. Conditions weren’t great, though. Snow was falling, the temperature was below zero and visibility was low. Then there was the altitude. Steve says that as they made their way to the last tea house before base camp, the allure of “bragging rights” of getting to base camp was seeming less and less appealing. They made the decision to turn back. “I’d actually decided I didn’t really want to go to base camp … I wanted to go higher, to another lookout,” says Steve. An hour or two later the earthquake struck, triggering a series of avalanches on Mount Everest. “I thought I was blacking out … because everything was moving,” he says. “Until boulders and rocks and landfall was coming down in front of us, and I realised – it’s not.”

While at the time they weren’t aware of the extent of the natural disaster and thought it may have been a “localised little event”, he soon saw the effects of it first-hand. “The next morning it was all chaos. The helicopters were coming from base camp to our lodge, dropping off bodies and the sick. “Our lodge was turned into like a triage unit … they were clearing dining tables, they were clearing beds in the rooms for the sick.” Handing over his first-aid kit to doctors – who were asking anyone who could to assess injuries – he says he felt powerless to help because he had no medical knowledge. As they travelled on to Kathmandu, however, it soon became clear what he could do. “I was noticing some other people helping, getting some supplies. And so, I just went and asked, ‘What are you doing? How did you get started?’. “It was a matter of walking the streets, finding the blankets,” he says. “Having my Nepali group around me that were ringing constantly on the phones trying to source products … blankets, mattresses, tarps, trucks.” Back home, his wife Natalie says she got on the phone and rang a couple of businesses that Steve [a carpet

“instead of me going & (nepal) giving me the scenery & everything, it’s me just giving back” cleaner] works with – and donations began to come through. Natalie also baked up a flurry of slices and cakes in fund-raising efforts. “I started raising the money to help Steve out,” she says. “So I ran a morning tea at work, which I think raised about $690 … they were all chuffed with that.” The Highton couple say they were blown away by the support and donations they received from the local community, including through social media. A truck and two Jeeps full of supplies later, Steve and his team were on their way to Thakani, a small village in the region of Sindhupalchok, one of the worst-hit areas. Dangerous road conditions meant it wasn’t easy to find volunteers to go. “We struggled finding anybody that was wanting to go to any village,” Steve says. “But eventually we found a couple of guys who were

wanting to go back … one of them had lost his mum in the village; the other one had lost his wife. They were interested in helping me.” Delivering two-and-a-half tonnes of rice, dhal, potatoes and salt along with blankets and foam mattresses was never going to go unnoticed – and so they were warmly welcomed by an “armed guard” of residents and children who met them in the last few kilometres of the journey. Steve says he was also honoured with a ceremonial scarf. All that was seven months ago. Now, back in Australia, Steve says Nepal is still strongly in his heart and he’s more determined than ever to make a difference in the region. “My focus has changed,” he says. “Now I realise, instead of me going and it giving me the scenery and everything, it’s me just giving back,

I suppose. You go for the mountains and everything but at the end of the day, it’s the people.” Since coming back, Steve and Natalie have continued efforts to support Nepal, working under the banner of We All Rotate, which they are in the process of turning into a non-profit organisation. A keen crafter, Natalie has headed up an initiative, under the organisation Days For Girls International, to put together sanitary packs for the women of Nepal as well as kits for mothers and newborn babies. Five hundred were given out last month and she’s putting together more packs for Steve’s next visit. Since the earthquake, Steve says about $15,000 has been raised for Nepal. He has already returned on a “really productive trip”, revisiting the village of Thakani, where he was involved in the rebuilding process. “We provided materials to build two houses for the two most needy families in the village, as identified by the community itself,” he says. “We also laid 1.3 kilometres of irrigation line from a new clean water source back to the village.” Steve says that next on the horizon is providing water tanks and raising money to rebuild the hospital devastated by the earthquakes. There are also some creative projects in the works, with artists from a Nepalese art college collaborating on a series of artworks with Steve. There are already expressions of interest from local art galleries. And the theme rings true. “This will be an exhibition telling the story of broken and rebuilding Nepal,” Steve says, adding that proceeds will continue to help rebuild the country he loves. “Every dollar will be spent back in Nepal,” he says. ● » www.facebook.com/weallrotate

Special companion A GEELONG WOMAN HAS BEEN RECOGNISED FOR HER COMMUNITY WORK, WRITES EMILY PIDGEON

yn Denbesten has been bringing a ray of light into the lives of war veterans and war widows for six years, regularly visiting them with her pocket-sized pooch by her side. She has spent years being a person veterans can confide in, share tears with, even stories that they sometimes haven’t shared for years. Visiting the ex-service members and their wives in retirement homes and hospitals around Geelong is enjoyable for Lyn, who often brings along her toy poodle Oscar. “I rescued Oscar from the Geelong Animal Welfare Society two years ago. I rescued him just as he rescued me and I felt I needed to share that,” Lyn says. “Dogs are just such wonderful companions.” Oscar sits on the veterans’ laps, providing comfort while Lyn sits and listens to the stories they have to tell. “He just takes their mind away from where they are and often they can’t have their own dog in aged care,” Lyn says. “I get the list of war veterans and war widows and I take Oscar and we just sit and talk to them. The other day I was talking to a lady whose husband was in World War I and World War II; she was only 15 when he was in World War I.

“The war widows have been through a lot, the men don’t often return as the cheeky blokes they left as.” Lyn’s grandfather, father, late husband and son were all veterans, giving her an extra sense of compassion when visiting the ex-service men. “I want other people to feel the love Oscar gives me and I can relate to them as I am a war widow myself,” she says. Growing up, Lyn had a great bond with her grandparents, so feels she is giving something back to other generations in need. Last month, she was presented with a Veteran Community Award at the Victorian Senior of the Year Awards ceremony, where she met the first female Governor of Victoria. To mark the United Nations International Day of Older Persons, Housing, Disability and Ageing Minister Martin Foley joined Governor Linda Dessau to present the 2015 Victorian Senior of the Year awards at Government House. “I felt very honoured to be recognised for what I do; it was an amazing experience but I don’t want or need that. There were women in their 90s doing amazing things and receiving awards,” Lyn says. “I just do it because I enjoy it.” There’s definitely no slowing down for Lyn, or Oscar, any time soon. In addition to this work, Lyn also volunteers for the RSL and has been a member of the Geelong & District Vietnam Veterans Association for many years. “As much as I am retired, you should see my diary.” ● epidgeon@theweeklyreview.com.au

35 SEAVIEW PARADE, BELMONT

orth Melbourne footballer Scott Thompson cleaned up the competition at 35 Seaview Parade, Belmont, on Sunday. About 200 people turned out to see Kade Camilleri (Ray White Lara & Northern Suburbs) auction the ramshackle three-bedroom weatherboard on a block of about 860 square metres. “The old grey mare, she ain’t what she used to be,’’ Kade said. “But we have a blue-ribbon block in a blue-ribbon postcode.’’ An opening bid of $350,000 sparked a seven-way contest that yielded 54 bids. Scott Thompson, who played for Geelong in the VFL, entered the fray late and took the prize at $605,000. 22 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ NOVEMBER 19, 2015

39 CLONARD AVENUE, GEELONG WEST

On Saturday, Matt Plunkett (Buxton Newtown) had just finished telling the crowd of 65 outside 39 Clonard Avenue, Geelong West, that agents had been quoting between $385,000 and $425,000 for the three-bedroom brick house when a woman shouted out a bid of $460,000. The property was quickly on the market and the original bidder continued to hold sway. Counter-bids were brushed aside until, at $505,000, Matt brought down the hammer in her favour. The woman, who moved to Geelong from Melbourne just weeks ago, plans to live at the property. A crowd of 120 gathered at 1 Nelson Avenue, Highton, a four-bedroom brick house on a block of 690 square metres. Adam Natonewski (Ray White Highton)

1 NELSON AVENUE, HIGHTON

3 HARVEY AVENUE, HERNE HILL

took an opening bid of $300,000, sparking a four-way contest. Adam declared the property on the market at $380,000 and two parties continued, the spoils eventually going to a Belmont couple who plan to renovate the property and live there. They got the prize when Adam brought the hammer down at $411,000. There were many approving noises made by the 30 people who wandered through 3 Harvey Avenue, Herne Hill, an updated 1960s weatherboard house with three bedrooms. Marcus Falconer (Hodges) got things going with a vendor bid of $300,000, and three parties entered the contest. In the end, it was down to a young woman and a young man. At $395,000, Marcus pleaded with the woman to keep

going. “Another weekend of talking to people like me? Surely you wouldn’t do that to yourself,’’ he said. She stayed in the contest but when the hammer came down at $410,000, it was the young man in front. A local, he plans to live at the property. Will Ainsworth (Ray White Geelong) had another busy day, selling 17 Wirksworth Street, Herne Hill, under the hammer for $369,000. The buyers of the three-bedroom brick house were a local couple who plan to live there. Will later sold 8 Sladen Street, Hamlyn Heights, a three-bedroom weatherboard house, post-auction for $283,500. The buyers have development plans for the site. ●

WE LOVE IT

ive a life of luxury at this contemporary family house with room to spare. This is one of those homes that has been carefully pieced together from start to finish, ensuring everything is exactly where it needs to be and that space is never compromised. It provides easy living indoors and out, from the flexible floor plan to the quality finishes and stylish design. Best of all, it manages to tick all the boxes for those in search of something modern and spacious without breaking the bank. In a quiet court in Highton’s hills, this sophisticated four-bedroom house immediately stands out with its grand, double-storey facade. The brick veneer is teamed with a pillared portico, while sleek lines and a large front yard create a sense of stateliness. The entrance hall is just as impressive. High ceilings and polished timber floors immediately grab your attention and make it clear that style and space are of equal importance. It’s a wide entrance hall that gives you a glimpse of the rest of the ground floor. What makes this house stand out from others of its ilk, is that while there’s an easy flow throughout, the living areas are all zoned. The ground floor is dedicated to understated luxury living, with four different living areas along with a stylish kitchen that looks across to each of them. It’s a great set-up for large families – it has all the benefits of open-plan living, with the added option of zoning rooms off for privacy. A large, carpeted living room is just inside the front entrance and has two-way entry. It’s the perfect room for indoor entertaining. There’s a rumpus room at the back of the house, with bifolds providing the option of keeping it open to the kitchen, or closing it off when the kids are getting rowdy. There’s also a relaxed sitting area, and a dining room that opens to a large covered outdoor area. The timeless kitchen can easily cater for big get-togethers. An island bench offers a great space for food preparation, while there’s plenty of storage in the timber cabinetry and walk-in pantry. There are high-quality stainless-steel appliances, including a freestanding 900-millimetre Lofra cooker. There’s a home office at the front of the house, and the ground floor also has a powder room and a laundry. The second level is where the four bedrooms are located, including the huge main bedroom. It includes a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish en suite with double vanity. Pebble feature tiling adds to the luxury appeal and is also used in the main bathroom upstairs. The main opens to a private balcony with gorgeous views across Highton, and the second bedroom also has access to a balcony. The kids will love the big backyard and there’s room for a pool if you desire. It’s a great location for family living, with Highton Village and Geelong’s CBD nearby, as well as the Geelong Ring Road. ● SARAH BIESKE property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Gentle restorations have allowed the heritage features to shine at this charming Victorian weatherboard. Located on a large block in the heart of Geelong West, Ethswaite showcases stunning 1920s design. The four-bedroom residence is pretty as a picture, with a white picket fence, gardens and ornate lacework on the bullnose verandah creating an attractive facade. Inside you’re greeted with high ceilings and polished floorboards. The first two bedrooms are either side of the entrance, with the main a little further along. It features a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. The fourth bedroom is adjacent. There’s an open-plan kitchen, living and meals area at the back of the house. Timber panelling on the walls and a wood oven add to the heritage appeal, while french doors take you to an outdoor entertainment area and rear yard. An oversized, weatherboard double garage is a great addition, and there’s also plenty of grass for the kids to run around on, as well as a cubby house. ● SARAH BIESKE

A striking, sunlit living zone is the centrepiece of this Newtown bungalow. The considerate addition to the three-bedroom house merges contemporary needs with period elegance, with huge arched windows along the north-facing back wall providing views of the lush rear garden. The size of this area is remarkable, with space for living, sitting and meals areas. A luxurious kitchen is at the centre it all. High timber benches are teamed with black benchtops and a stainless-steel, free-standing Lofra oven, as well as a walk-in pantry. Polished floorboards are a feature throughout, including in the three bedrooms at the front of the house. There’s also a formal lounge with ornate fireplace that could become a fourth bedroom if needed. The bathroom with a separate shower and bath is behind the kitchen, and there’s a second shower in the laundry. In the backyard, there’s a single-car drive-through garage with a full-length loft. Pakington Street’s cafes and local schools are a short stroll away. ● SARAH BIESKE

Here’s a chance to mix business with pleasure. A slice of Meredith’s history is up for grabs – this attractive weatherboard house in the town’s best street. It’s a great opportunity for those in search of a tree change. The three-bedroom residence on a large block of about 1095 square metres was originally home to the town’s bakery, before being converted to a family residence in 1974. That was until last year when its current owner utilised the house’s ideal position and size to open a much-loved cafe, while still living in the character house. There are two reception rooms on entry and the kitchen is nearby. A bedroom adjacent to the kitchen could alternatively be used as a home office or kids’ play room, while the lower level has another bedroom, a bathroom and a huge commercial kitchen. The main bedroom is upstairs and features an en suite and private balcony. There’s also a double garage on the block. Meredith is just 40 minutes from both Geelong and Ballarat and 10 minutes from Bannockburn. ● SARAH BIESKE

You’ll get a surprise at what is beyond the front door of this weatherboard sitting on a 583-square-metre block. The huge indoor swimming pool, spa and barbecue area adds plenty of appeal. It’s linked to the house, is fully enclosed, and has a bathroom so there’s no need for your little fish to trudge through the house with their wet towels and togs. Get ready for plenty of pool parties. Inside, there’s three bedrooms and spacious, modern and low-maintenance space. There’s scope to put your own spin here and there, too. Remnants of the past are visible, including ornate fireplaces, high ceilings and polished floorboards. Two living zones at opposite ends cater well for growing families, while a Miele oven and cooktop add to the already-impressive kitchen. There’s also rear access to a lock-up single-car garage and some lawn for the kids to play on. As for location, the East Geelong shops, Geelong waterfront and CBD are only a short stroll away. The property is also close to schools and public transport. ● REBECCA THOMPSON

GEELONG WEST \ 27 WARATAH STREET So impressive was the restoration of this four-bedroom Edwardian, it was formally recognised by the National Trust of Australia. It’s easy to see why. The smallest of details have been considered – down to the period-inspired light switches – while the merging of heritage design with contemporary style is remarkably subtle. Luxurious textures are teamed with elegant finishes, from dark-stained floorboards to striking grey stone benchtops in the kitchen, and detailed black-and-white mosaic tiling in the wet rooms. There are three bedrooms in the front half of the house, including a main with en suite and a walk-in wardrobe. There’s also a formal living room that provides a quiet retreat for the parents. The raised designer kitchen, with quality appliances is part of an open-plan zone at the back of the house. It’s a luxurious space that offers a dining area and living area with gas log fireplace, and opens to a large deck and paved entertainment area. An added surprise out the back is the oversized double garage with rear-lane access. Garages rarely add to the aesthetic of a house but this one does. Its sliding barn doors are an attractive feature that also make it easily accessible from the backyard. Inside, a staircase leads to a bedroom in the loft, complete with en suite, making it a perfect guest room. ● SARAH BIESKE

Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs, a visiting specialist at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. “My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says. A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.” No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
