Virginia trioli\ as bad as it gets

hen the Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, and his drawn and anxious-looking cabinet members appeared on the third day of the earthquake crisis all wearing the blue chambray uniform of a working man, a cultural notion deeply embedded in Japanese society was on deliberate display. The uniform of “the group” – any group, from school kids to employees to a bunch of elderly tourists – was always an intriguing aspect of life in Japan for my husband and step-children during the many years they lived there. It speaks of united purpose, the importance of that purpose being publicly recognised and of the inclusive and exclusive nature of Uchi-Soto (us and them). These were the guys in control; the “group” was running things now. Except, that like so much in Japanese life, appearances can be deeply deceiving. The Japanese government has very much wanted to be in control – particularly following the disastrously bungled and delayed rescue effort following the devastating 1995 Kobe earthquake – but it too has been deceived by what now appears to have been an almost unforgivably mishandled response to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant failure.

The Japanese invariably display the most phenomenal grace, control and stoicism in times of great pressure and disaster, and in this case it has been deeply humbling to watch it. The displaced are in emergency shelters with no heating and no running water; those evacuated from the nuclear-affected zone have even less. The news services outlined the principles that would help everyone get through this time together, and as they politely listed the virtues of not pushing, not crowding, not complaining, I shook my head in wonderment that they needed mentioning at all. As a close friend who still lives there concurred, there was not going to be any looting – why would the Japanese even think of doing that? But this calm and ready acceptance can also infuriate me. Not because I wish they were otherwise, but because the Japanese have been let down by officialdom during crises before, and part of me wishes they – or perhaps just one of them – would break out in anger and call their leaders to account. From the 1996 E coli. 0157 food-poisoning scandals – in which almost 8000 people were infected from canteen lunches in Osaka, and three students died – to

the inept response to the Kobe earthquake, officialdom has been disorganised, opaque and sometimes even negligent. For those in the cold and deprived north-east of Honshu, trust must come very hard. Governor Yuhei Sato of Fukushima prefecture finally let rip, saying his people had been left with nothing after being ordered out of the Fukushima region: it is difficult to impart just how unusual this public outburst was. The sight of the Emperor Akihito speaking – speaking publicly! – was so shocking as to chill my blood. So the situation is really this bad. The greatest betrayal, however, might turn out to be by the operators of the Fukushima power plant – if it turns out, as so many suspect, their contingency plans and first responses were delinquent. For me, however, that disappointment will be more than offset by the immortal sacrifice made by the brave 50 who have stayed behind to fight a disaster that might yet have dimensions imagined only in nightmares. \ » we welcome your feedback @ www.theweeklyreview.com.au/mouthing-off

R E V IE W \ CO V E R S T OR Y ONJ CANCER & WELLNESS CENTRE There may be a revolution in the way we treat the deadly disease, writes GEORGIA WILKINS.

(SUPPLIED)

‘ ‘

ancer” and “wellness” are two words you rarely see together. But a new focus in cancer treatment in hospitals across Victoria may be about to change that. In 2013, the Austin Hospital aims to unveil an Australia-first state-of-the-art cancer and wellness centre that, when completed, will treat the “whole” person – a philosophy that combines traditional care with complementary therapy. Named after its patron, performer and breast-cancer survivor Olivia Newton-John, the centre will incorporate acupuncture, massage and aromatherapy into the recovery routines of patients. Art and music therapy, as well as group therapy and relaxation courses, will also be available for those coming to terms with one of the most challenging times of their life.

The new centre stands to represent the future of cancer care, where an emphasis on complementary therapy opens new possibilities in treatment of the disease, and where wellness is sought through whatever means possible. But with construction of the building suspended due to what critics have called a “$40-million black hole” following a change in government, the ambitious project may never be realised.

Newton-John has lent her name to the new centre, which is being built in Heidelberg under the auspices of Austin Health. She brings with it her particularly Australian brand of philanthropy, an ability to throw considerable weight in the fund-raising arena, and a personal story. “I know from my own experience that the emotional journey needs to be supported along with the best of clinical care,” she said ahead of the Australian premiere of Xanadu the Musical. For Newton-John, the centre’s point of difference is its focus on an awareness of wellness as the “destination of the journey”. “It’s important now to embrace every valid resource in our quest to get beyond disease and return to wellness. I was fortunate enough to have access to complementary and wellness therapies years ago and it helped me immensely when I went through my own breast-cancer journey.” The entertainer has been described by former Victorian premier John Brumby as a “very persuasive” negotiator. She in turn called Brumby’s election promise to commit $44.7 million to the centre one of the most special moments in her life, reportedly rewarding him with a kiss on each cheek at the official funding announcement. But with that funding now out of play since a change in state government, the centre faces the task of winning over a different set of politicians, and this time a kiss from Newton-John might not cinch it.

The most common cancers in Australia (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) are prostate, colorectal (bowel), breast, melanoma and lung cancer.

114,000 50% Estimated new cases of cancer diagnosed in Australia last year.

One in two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85.

43,000

Cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia – more than 43,000 people are estimated to have died from cancer last year.

15,000

Nearly 15,000 more people die each year from cancer than 30 years ago. This is due mainly to population growth and ageing.

16%

However, the death rate (number of deaths per 100,000 people) has fallen by 16 per cent in the same period.

+60%

More than 60 per cent of cancer patients will survive more than five years after diagnosis.

30%

The survival rate for many common cancers has increased by 30 per cent in the past two decades.

434,000 $3.8b About 434,000 people are treated for one or more non-melanoma skin cancers, with 420 people dying each year.

Cancer costs $3.8 billion in direct health-system costs.

Labor MP Jenny Mikakos earlier this month urged the Coalition government to continue to fund the internal fit-out of the centre’s three wards, which will house 92 beds and a floor for research. But Victorian Health Minister David Davis remains uncommitted to the cause, and has condemned Labor for poor financial management of the project. “The previous government did not fund the next stage of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre, leaving a black hole in the project,” he said in an emailed statement. “Funding for this next stage will need to be considered as part of normal budget process.” The Austin, with Newton-John’s help, will now need to promote a public conversation that is still in its infancy. It will need to ask is complementary care the beginning of a revolution in patient support and healing, or is it simply an exercise in distraction from a relentless deadly disease? And if it’s the latter, is this a good thing?

TRICK OR TREATMENT

According to Austin Health CEO Brendan Murphy, the centre plans to house 32 haematology beds, 32 oncology beds and 29 palliative care beds and a “dedicated space for wellness”. “The centre will be very integrated. One building, one concept,” he says. “We want to promote a positive, holistic outlook.” If this integration is successful, the Austin could take a leading role in the use of alternative methods of care in cancer treatment. “ ‘Complementary care’ is very different to ‘alternative medicine’. We are very against the charlatans out there, the ones who say, ‘just meditate, and your cancer will go away’,” says Dr Murphy. “We’re a major Western public hospital.” This shift in attitude of hospitals towards embracing complementary care hasn’t grown out of nothing. One influencing factor has been the increase in the amount of studies into the effect of complementary care on the well-being of cancer patients. Evidence-based research by major institutions, such as the Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) in New York, is slowly peeling away the “experimental” label of these therapies and paving the way for more integration.

“The emotional journey needs to be supported along with the best of clinical care.”

The face of hope: Olivia Newton-John is backing a cancer and wellness centre. (MICHELLE DAY)

Professor Zalcberg says. “Integrative therapy and supporting patients through cancer is something people feel is an important issue.” Professor Zalcberg is quick to accept that there might be a perception in the community that funding is being directed to complementary therapies rather than proven clinical treatment. But he doesn’t believe this is actually the case. “We all want to prevent cancer and reduce suffering. Clinicians work towards that, researchers work towards that, and people in integrative therapies are working towards that. We all have the same objective, and I think there is room for everybody.” Newton-John also asserts that the two are not in competition with each other: “It’s called complementary for a reason. It helps and aids in healing. It’s not to replace it. And it is the person’s choice to use it or not – but it is all positive and supportive,” she says. But will it be difficult to keep a tight focus on this

“We’re not trying to say that music therapy is going to cure cancer,” says Dr Murphy. “We’d be very concerned if people got that impression. When we say that there is evidence to suggest it works, it means that there is evidence to show it reduces a patient’s stress or pain, not that it eradicates their cancer.” There is movement in this direction, however. A study published this month in the medical journal Psychosomatic Medicine showed that stress management not only eased a patient’s anxiety but also improved their immune response in the days after an operation. But studies such as these are only a small step towards mainstream approval and – more importantly – government funding. They also ask the question: what price tag can be put on what is essentially a distraction? “The money we’ve received from the government is not supporting (the wellness part of the centre). That’s why we have deliberately raised money for this purpose,” says Dr Murphy. “It’s a new area, so the government, rightly, doesn’t see it as high a priority as building hospitals or finding beds for patients.” The Austin isn’t the only hospital to take the plunge into complementary care. Professor John Zalcberg at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre says his own researchers are working towards a report on the benefits of integrative therapies and the role they can play in cancer treatment. “This is something that people are interested in,”

objective, with so many different people working under the one roof? “It will be a challenge for the people who administer the centres to make sure we are covering all of those things – that something isn’t getting left out,” says Professor Zalcberg. “Nobody wants that.” As a celebrity who overcame breast cancer in the ’90s, Newton-John has experienced first-hand and also given light to the cancer journey. Throughout her advocacy work and singing career, the narrative of survival has never been far away. But some in the medical profession have questioned the value of this narrative and expressed concern that large lobby groups are using it to dominate funding for certain cancers over others. Earlier in the year, leading Royal Women’s Hospital oncologist Dr Orla McNally expressed concern that high-profile lobby groups such as the National Breast Cancer Foundation were “monopolising” funds away from smaller but equally serious cancer types. A recent study published in the medical journal The Lancet showed that Victorian women with ovarian cancer were less likely to survive than those in other states and

countries. Dr McNally said the survival rates were in part because of a “vast difference’’ in the public profile and charitable support of ovarian cancer compared with that of breast cancer. In Victoria there are presently hundreds of consumer-support and advocacy groups, including peak community-funded organisations and national consumer organisations that work within each state. While the centre plans to deal broadly with all cancer types, it will be forced to consider the issue of how funding is channelled to the different cancer types in Victoria against the occurrence rate, and whether or not to counteract this. However, Professor Zalcberg says this shouldn’t be a consideration. “Most of these groups are grassroots organisations that chose to focus on a specific type of cancer because it’s easier to achieve their objective like this.”

TOTALLY DEVOTED

Whether or not Victoria needs more convincing of the virtues of complementary therapy is likely to be

reflected in the decision by the current state government on whether or not to fund the centre. What is clear is that debates over different treatments help assuage one concern – that the search for a cure we are no closer to finding remains ongoing. “Complementary treatment is not in any way replacing treatment,” says Dr Murphy. “It provides space where patients can be supported through what is a very traumatic journey.” Or take it from the face of complementary treatment herself, Ms Newton-John: “The word ‘wellness’ alone creates positive response in a person going through cancer – and yoga, massage, music therapies to name a few – are all non-invasive and positive supportive treatments. It makes the patient believe – yes – I can get back to that!” \ » www.oliviaappeal.com » WE WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK @ www.theweeklyreview.com.au/interview

food\ Kendall Hill reviews mercHant a nice symmetry to the arrival of TheRe’s Guy Grossi’s Merchant at the Rialto. Aside from the fact that Grossi and his partners, the

Grollos, have ties to north-eastern Italy, Rialto was Venice’s first harbour, home to a bustling market beside the Grand Canal in the 11th century. So an ancient centre of commerce is referenced in a modern centre of commerce, half a world and a thousand years away. A replica gondola in the Rialto forecourt signposts Grossi’s bright, casual osteria – a relaxed wine bar serving typical northern-Italian dishes. A raised deck offers al fresco dining but most diners head inside to where Grossi has re-created a little corner of the Veneto at the business end of Collins Street. Display cases by the entrance show off salumi, chocolates and plump wheels of cheese. The colourful mosaics, Brazilian slate floors, fire-red Bentwoods and exposed brick bar in the long dining room create an instantly appealing backdrop. The showpiece mosaic is a noble winged lion that my Catholic lunchmate explains is a representation of St Mark – namesake of Venice’s legendary square. All four evangelists have winged avatars, the Catholic continues: Matthew is a winged human; Luke is a winged ox; and John a less far-fetched eagle. Lunch can be such a learning experience. Staff attend promptly to guests and bustle about the space with pep and purpose. The girls are dressed in belted indigo frocks by Leona Edmiston teamed with gleaming white pumps – the sort of gay outfit a

young lass might wear in spring, in Rome, on the back of a Vespa, while clutching George Clooney. The boys are all business up top – white shirts and waistcoats – and party down below in jeans and sneakers. The combination of the staff’s exotic accents (French, Italian, um, English) with the vivacious décor makes the Merchant feel a little like a film set. A frisson of excitement runs through the place. It’s either over-excitement or force of habit in our share-plate-obsessed city that leads us to order eight dishes. If we’d stuck to cicchetti, those bite-sized Italian bar snacks that run to arancini, paté and sardines here, we’d have been fine. But our binge extends to polenta, risotto and steak, along with calamari, oysters, tuna and pasta. Ouf. And we gobble down dessert, too. Given the banquet before us, there should be something that leaps out and leaves an impression, but we find the flavours oddly subdued. A tuna carpaccio from the menu’s raw and cured section is nicely seared at the edges and hemmed with a basil-heavy herb paste, but the fish is too sinewy and not enjoyable. The comprehensive menu offers a choice of five risotti ranging from squid ink and porcini to our choice, zucchini flowers and asiago cheese. The rice is cooked faultlessly, riddled with diced zucchini and asiago and topped with deep-fried zucchini flowers. It tastes like – well, not much; faintly cheesy rice with crispy battered bits. We try the bigoli – like fat, rough

spaghetti – made with unbleached flour so it has a wholemeal tinge that looks attractive against the braised radicchio and generous clods of white crab meat. It needs salt to coax out the crab, but even with extra seasoning it is unremarkable. Fried calamari, served with a cumin-spiced mayo, suffers from a similar lack of personality. And a promising-looking skillet of golden polenta studded with crumbled gorgonzola also fails to inspire. I couldn’t help thinking the guys at Giuseppe, Arnaldo and Sons do this dish so much better. (Their taragna, a seething pot of buckwheat polenta and gorgonzola, is a favourite comfort food.) A scotch fillet from Hopkins River is nicely charred from the grill, rewardingly juicy and seasoned with a spoonful of salsa verde. It is good steak but, again, it got me thinking of one I had recently that was better (the gutsy tagliata on dressed wild rocket at Becco). Our final instalment, lightly battered and chunky apple fritters dusted with icing sugar and served with an intensely cinnamon ice-cream, saves the day. If they sold that ice-cream by the tub, I’d buy two on the spot. This is, at heart, a wine bar, and lovers of the grape will be transported by Merchant’s cellar list, an impressive 150-strong inventory of largely northern-Italian wines, from flighty pinot grigios to fruity pinot neros. Next time, I plan to eat less, drink more and, hopefully, stumble across some more distinctive dishes. \

MY VIEW\ KATRINA HALL IS NOT A TEAM PLAYER

(ISTOCKPHOTO \ THINKSTOCK)

and mother don’t have that much MY HUSBAND to say to each other at the best of times, but that all changes during the footy season. Then it’s all

Is it not enough that we spend hours watching live footy?

Ricky Nixon this, James Hird that, and sooky-la-la-St Kilda. And it goes on for hours. What is this strange language they’re speaking, I wonder? What is this incredible back and forward about the footy fixture and the drafts and player injuries and how much Fevola costs? This discussion of the minutia of something that sounds as if it could be life-affirming, as important as life and death. I can’t do it. I vaguely know the colours of all the teams and I did meet Eddie McGuire once, but what’s to discuss? I don’t even have a team. Weird that I come from a home that is populated by people who think a good and exciting evening is rewatching old Lions finals DVDs, even the ones they didn’t win. I do wonder, is it not enough that we spend hours watching live footy, and footy on TV and blokes in dresses talking about footy on TV? How do we then also manage to find so much time to also talk about it? And that’s not counting the texting that goes on between friends during matches, and the Monday-morning pats on the back to the people whose team has won, like they had a hand in the whole thing. If you live in Melbourne you really do have no choice but to take it on, whether or not you object to the often-abhorrent off-field behaviour of the players. It’s the great equaliser – the thing that can bring two blokes together, even if they’re about to punch each other over a girl or a can of beer. That can change in an instant when they realise they both barrack for Collingwood. Strangers talk about it on trams. At my kid’s school, all the old

grandfathers stand outside at pick-up time talking about the Tigers and the Bombers. God knows what they’re actually saying – they’re all talking in different languages – but gee, they’re enjoying it. A friend who works for a prominent Melbourne club part-time says no one is ever that interested in his other, full-time job as a university lecturer. He is a doctor of something fancy – this guy has written books about limbs and could sew your busted leg back together with a piece of old string if you needed him to, but that’s nowhere near as important as the training he does on the side with a certain team. All anyone ever wants is for him to get players’ autographs or signed guernseys or a date. And it’s all cranking back up at the moment. The old Fitzroy scarves are coming out (some people really do find it hard to let go of the past), the fixture is on the fridge, and I’m well aware my mum will check it before she agrees to babysit or come to her grandkids’ birthday parties, or do anything, for that matter. And at the moment, things are good on the home front. Neither my husband nor my mother’s team stands to win the grand final at this stage, although that could change any day. They didn’t speak for six months once when the Lions beat the Bombers in the finals, which made Christmas really tricky. But my mum truly thinks the birthday cards she gets from the team each year actually come from the team, and that one day, if she ever meets James Hird, he’ll remember her the next time. So we do have some issues to deal with in that area. Wish me luck. \

espresso machine and a new-wave $5000 filter-brewing device; its commitment to specialty coffee is writ loud. Maison (house of) Ama Lurra (a new coffee brand being roasted in Sydney) is the concept of a trio of businessmen planning a new national coffee chain. Giles Legg and Philippe Million are the faces of the partnership. Million, a French-born chef who has run cafés and catering companies in Sydney, is in charge of the European-inspired menu. Legg, a former ski instructor who runs a backpackers’ lodge and has corporate and hospitality backgrounds, runs the café. Legg says the café has deliberately gone against the “grunge-style” coffee house concept and pitched itself to the local business community by “offering something a little bit different”. There’s free Wi-Fi, private meeting rooms that seat up to eight and a catering service.

“But we are also finding that we have strong appeal for parents seeking a more open space,” Legg says. Aside from the coffee focus, presided over by barista and roaster Tristan Creswick, the café serves Mariage Frères teas, imported from France, in specialty cast-iron pots. Tristan Creswick (right) says BARiSTA he is challenged by the 15-odd variables of the Bunn Trifecta coffee brewer. The

machine’s three phases – coffee saturation, brewing and extraction – are manipulated using coffee-grind size, brewing temperature and time, he explains. Creswick’s brew, made with a Colombian Supremo bean, was a subtle, tea-like drink that began, as promised, with notes of cocoa and cooled to a fruity finish. The 2007 national latte art runner-up and the 2009 NSW latte art champion also made a ristretto using the house No. 1 blend (PNG, Costa Rica, Brazil and Ethiopia). It was viscous and bright, with rich notes of burnt toffee

Light, bright and elegant, this six-week-old café hopes to attract a niche market in North Melbourne. Previously a cartographer’s studio, the broad, open space is now filled with designer-look couch settings in muted tones of taupe and grey, wide communal tables with silvery metal chairs and stools, smaller settings and meeting rooms tucked behind prettily etched glass walls. The space calls out to friends in groups with prams and professionals looking for a relaxed working space. A muted-green window mural reflects the colours of the glossy kitchen tiles and the throw cushions on the couches, bringing the whole package together with soothing simplicity. \

DECANTER\ BEN THOMAS NAMES HiS TOp fivE ClEANSkiNS on a bargain hunt. Over the past few weeks I’ve been I’ve been on a search to find the best five cleanskins in town.

(Luc Hautecoeur / getty images)

Cleanskins, or own labels, as many retailers call them, are as popular as any time since they really burst onto the scene during the grape glut of the early 2000s and specialist cleanskin outlets opened on our high streets. Cleanskins are still a game of chance, though – their quality can range from downright awful to absolutely sublime and with varying degrees of value. Like any top-five list, compiling it wasn’t easy. I had no trouble finding good wines, but should the list contain the best cleanskins I found regardless of price, or the wines that offered the best value? In the end, I’ve chosen to sit on the fence and list the five wines I’d happily drink any night of the week. While tasting through the 30-odd samples I collected, none were technically faulty and I thought only one was overpriced, which goes some way to proving why cleanskins are so popular with wine drinkers. Some of the wines were a little one-dimensional but for less than $10, you can’t complain too much. I sourced most of the samples I tried from well-known independent retailers, who don’t tend to make a big song and dance about the value of their wines but sell them as just another line on the shelves. You won’t find promises of great bargains in their cleanskin sections, just good, well-priced booze. Many of these retailers have spent years building up relationships with top winemakers, giving them access to some good-quality wine from time to time. There’s a load of reasons as to why a wine gets sold as a cleanskin. A winery might bottle more wine than it had planned and sell off the

excess in bulk, it might need to clear space in a cellar after bottling the next vintage, or, sadly, it may have gone to the wall. Some wineries even have yearly contracts to produce wines for retailers. The upside for a winery that sells off its wine in bulk is that it is usually paid upfront, giving it a cash boost in what are, for many of Australia’s wineries, tough times. So now for my top five cleanskins. I’m sworn to secrecy about who made them, but these were crafted by well-known and cult producers and all of them are good drinking at an even better price. \

senorthomas@gmail.com

The selection process Without tasting the wine, you can use a process of elimination to find a cleanskin that you should be happy to drink. First, try to find the provenance of the wine. if an ad quotes the tasting notes of a well-known reviewer, you can often google the tasting notes in the ad to find out what the wine is. it pays to match the grape variety to a region that does it well. chardonnay from the mornington Peninsula, well, that’s on the right track, but a chardonnay from the Barossa, you need to be wary. check the vintage. if the wine is more than five years old, there’s a chance it’s being flogged off cheap because it’s past its best. Have a look at the wine’s alcohol content. We’ve had a few hot, dry years recently and whites with an alcohol volume of more than 14 per cent and reds more than the 15 per cent mark are, in a lot of cases, likely to be unbalanced, with alcohol overpowering the fruit flavours. \

taste this Rascal Pinot Grigio 2009

Randall’s Clare Valley Riesling 2009

Vintage Cellars Chalkboard Chardonnay 2008 (yarra Valley) $12.95; 13% ★★★ ½

(great southern) $10; 14.5% ★★★ ½

rascal is armadale cellars’ own label and they’re a good bunch of wines. there’s a lot to like about this pinot grigio. Floral aromas of pear, pink lady apple, quince, blossom and citrus lead the way before flavours including white stonefruit, minerals, grapefruit and spice fill the mouth. it’s a really well-structured wine, with nice texture and slightly chalky acid adding some real class. i’d be happy to pay double the price.

riesling is good value at the best of times, and this offering from the clare Valley is no exception. i thought the randall’s own-label wines were good drinking. this is nice and floral, with scents of blossom, lime, passionfruit, pear and granny smith apple. it is nicely textural and it’s fairly high acid is a nice foil for intense flavours of lemon, lime and minerals. there’s a nice grip on the rich citrus finish that helps make this a pretty handy drop.

i can tell you who makes this wine – it was made by De Bortoli, who is a master at producing wines that over-deliver on price. it’s printed on the back label, so i’m not revealing any secrets. this is quite a complex little number, with it’s nectarine, cantaloupe and almond aromas. Hints of honey, earth and toast are also lurking in the glass. a fine texture, bright lemon acid and more stonefruit flavours are well balanced. it would be easy to polish off a bottle of this pretty quickly.

Hidden talent wines are sourced by winemaker Peter Howland, who has put together a range of interesting wines from around australia. this was one of 12 different wines in a taster pack that’s just $120. it was my favourite, but only just. it’s got a nice cool-climate nose of perfumed cherries, plum, mint and cassis and some nice blackberry, spice and meaty flavours. Fine-grained tannins and well-balanced structure, combined with a long savoury finish, make this a top buy. Find it at www.hiddentalentwines.com

Boccaccio The Twin Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 (clare Valley, coonawarra) $8; 15% ★★★ ½ i’ve been buying Boccaccio’s cleanskins for a few years and have rarely been disappointed. this is ripe, fruity and easy-drinking with distinct cabernet characters. What more can you ask for at the price? it smells of mulberry, blackberry, mint and redcurrant with nice dusty notes. Flavours of blackcurrant, blueberry and mulberry are supported by ripe, chewy tannins and the finish is pretty smart for the price. textbook, tasty cabernet that should be on your agenda for midweek winter drinking.

She says she might seem like “such a nice girl” to interviewees but there’s a steel fist in that velvet glove. The new co-host of the aBC’s 7.30 speaks to peter WIlmOtH.

he questions and answers are over, the tape’s off, we’ve talked about David Hicks and Guantanamo Bay (she covered his story for years and wrote a book about him) and the serious biz of being Washington correspondent, and now what Leigh Sales wants to talk about is Keith Richards and his stunning autobiography, Life. “Cracking,” she says. I hadn’t pegged Sales as someone this interested in Richards, but, as it did to many readers including me, the book had her by the throat. “There’s a line where they’re talking about addiction and Keith says ‘I chose drugs, Mick (Jagger) chose flattery’,” she says. “If I could have Keith Richards (as an interview) for the first year of 7.30, how great would that be?” Richards would indeed be a cracking early guest for her new hosting role on 7.30 (they’ve dropped the Report in line with other changes). And I’m thinking Sales, with her honey-instead-of-vinegar approach, would get some good meat out of the louche rock’n’roll pirate, starting with “How come you’re alive?” and working up to how he came to fall out of a palm tree and crack his skull. So it’s a change of name, a change of host (there are two now, the excellent smooth operator Chris Uhlmann being the other) and, perhaps most noticeably, a generational change. Kerry O’Brien, who was at the helm of the show for 15 years and was inextricably linked to it, might have driven Richards back to drugs with his elongated questions, which Malcolm Turnbull addressed at a journalism conference in Sydney last year. (Turnbull described O’Brien’s questions as “mini editorials” and said it was a “very poor technique if the objective is to elicit information from the interviewee. If, on the other hand, the object is for the interviewer to show off and spar with the interviewee, it works well.”) Sales approaches her interviewees differently: a short, snappy question posed with a smile. “Kerry and I have really different styles in interviewing,” she says. “I ask quite short questions … I’m obviously a more chatty, warmer on-air personality. Sometimes I ask incredibly rude questions and people don’t realise it because I’m smiling or they feel more at ease because I seem like such a nice girl but I’ve just asked ‘Are you a mass murderer?’.” Sales is robust company, and not afraid to go for the laugh. You got a taste of her personality watching her on Lateline – not to mention her excellent work as Washington correspondent for the ABC – but up close and in three dimensions you get a strong idea why she was able to (reportedly) beat such broadcast heavyweights as Tony Jones, Virginia Trioli, Annabel Crabb and Fran Kelly for one of the most prestigious jobs in Australian media. Was she sweating on the decision? “Yes and no,” says Sales. “No in that I really liked working at Lateline, I was really happy there; it was my third year last year and I felt like I was really getting on top of what that job involved. These jobs come up so infrequently – Kerry did it for 15 years – you’ve got to throw your hat in the ring. It was the top job, a great gig. I guess I was sweating it out, although it wasn’t like it was my life’s goal.”

SaleS

“SometimeS i aSk incredibly rude queStionS and people don’t realiSe it.”

It’s a new show, but Sales doesn’t want people to think we are “throwing everything out and going from scratch”. “I’d like to be getting out more and relocate the show. In sitting weeks Chris Uhlmann will be in Canberra doing interviews in person. That’s a change from where the show very much revolved around Kerry.” Sales is feeling the pressure of being at the helm of such a prestigious and agenda-setting program. “I do feel the pressure of it, particularly coming in off the back of someone like Kerry who’s had so much dominance and done it for so long. If I could have the reputation that Kerry’s got when I’ve done it … to do it for 15 years, that is exhausting. “I’d see Kerry every day because we’d be in make-up together, and I never saw Kerry phone it in. He was always on and engaged and interested, and I really admired that about what he did. And the creativity and rigour that he brought to it, which is a really hard skill. They are big shoes to fill. “I feel really excited and humbled by it … If you’d said to me 15 years ago, when I was kicking around as a junior reporter … who do you think Kerry O’Brien’s successor will be and you said “It’s you’, I would have thought ‘What’s the path to that?’ I wouldn’t even be able to see that. So that freaks me out. But I feel like I can do it, I feel like I’ve worked really hard in my career and I’ve done a lot of different things and I’m a hard worker and I know that I can, with Chris, do a good show.” The lead-up to the show’s debut on March 7 wasn’t all smooth sailing. O’Brien farewelled his audience on December 10 last year, and 7.30 took its sweet time to get on air, meanwhile missing some huge stories – the Queensland floods (it was out of ratings period), the revolutions in Egypt, Bahrain and Libya and the Christchuch earthquake. These are massive worldwide stories and it was left to Heather Ewart to do the hosting in a caretaker role. Mark Day in The Australian gave the ABC a nice tickle. “They (Sales and Uhlman) are the nominated hosts of a revitalised 7.30 Report … but they are nowhere to be seen. They’re off air, twiddling their thumbs, away from the action, while somewhere deep in the bowels of the ABC carpenters and painters come up with a new set … This is a poor performance from an organisation given to making big claims about being at the centre of the national debate.” Anyway, they’re up and running now. Sales grew up in Brisbane and as a young girl had a bent for journalism. “Like most kids, I probably went through a stage where I thought being a vet would be good, or a cruise director. By grade nine I pretty much

settled that I wanted to be a journalist because I liked writing and reading.” What was she like at school? “Oh, square. Vice-school captain. Big stuff-up on their part, clearly. Didn’t do the numbers properly. I did well at school. Bookworm, not sporty. Terribly unco-ordinated.” She didn’t do the backpacking thing. “I came from a working- to middle-class family. It wasn’t like mum and dad had money to say ‘Go and have a year off’. Dad (didn’t finish) school, mum had, but neither had gone to uni, so there was a very big emphasis on education. Uni was a top priority, and you’ve got to do well.” She studied journalism at Queensland University of Technology. “I came out of uni during the recession we had to have, so the competition for jobs was so fierce, and everybody was so terrified of not getting a job that I don’t think I had any friend who took a year off after uni to go backpacking. It was all about could you be one of the six people out of 340 that got a job, basically.” Sales applied for but didn’t get a cadetship at Brisbane’s Courier-Mail. She instead found a position at Channel Nine in Brisbane on a local show called Brisbane Extra, a magazine-style news program Channel Nine launched in each capital city. “I was the most junior of junior dog’s bodies, answering the phone, helping research stories, rolling the autocue, answering mail, absolutely everything, overnight shifts, listening to the scanner in the newsroom.”

he applied for a job at the ABC as a D grade and lucked in. She did six months in Brisbane in 1995, then, aged 22, went to bureau on the Gold Coast. “It’s a great news beat. Schoolies week. Crazy drunken behavior. Crime. There was a riot at the council, there were good environmental stories, a plane crashed into the ocean.” In 2001 Sales went to the US, where she spent four years as the ABC’s Washington correspondent. “I loved it. It was fascinating. I got there just after 9/11 and left six months after hurricane Katrina. It was non-stop – wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, David Hicks, Guantanamo Bay.” She has been married for 15 years to Phil Willis, an engineer who back then worked for a company called Honeywell in Philadelphia (he is now working on animation for George Miller’s Happy Feet 2). “He needed to be sponsored for a job and Honeywell didn’t have an office in Washington, so Sales often took a two-hour trip on the train to Philadelphia to see him. “It was hard but it was also great because we got to know two American cities really well.” Sales loved the work, even if it chewed up her personal life. “It was an incredibly stimulating job. You sort of had no life because you were on call all the time and whenever something happened you’ve got to go to work, but it was so interesting that you didn’t mind that. It was always an adventure, whether it was some tiny little town in Iowa or in LA for the Oscars, it was always great. And Americans were great talent.” She spent years covering David Hicks’s incarceration at Guantanamo Bay and, back in Sydney, wrote Detainee 002: The Case of David Hicks, published in 2007 (The Age called it “energetically researched” and

department

Generational shift: “I’d like to be getting out more and relocate the show.” (john donegan)

“astutely paced and absorbing”). She also wrote On Doubt, published in 2009. She scored a gig at Lateline, where she shared the hosting duties with Tony Jones when Jones was hosting Q&A on Monday nights. It’s where Sales’s journalistic skills have been on show, with her snappy questions and, let’s face it, un-Kerry O’Brien-like charm. Given how adept politicians are now at avoiding the question but trying hard to sound like they are not (John Howard remains the godhead of this), will be one of Sales’s biggest challenges. “I don’t want to give away my secrets but there are several ways that you try and get around it,” Sales says. “First you can interrupt … or sometimes I’ll repeat what they just said back to them and say ‘We understand you’ve got to move Australia forward, why don’t we put that aside, you don’t need to go through that again’, and then it makes it difficult for them to keep repeating the same line. “Or sometimes I’ll invoke the audience to remind them that they’re not just annoying me, that there are hundreds of thousands of people watching who feel they’re not getting an answer, so I’ll say something like ‘Look, the reason I’m going to ask you that question again is that my audience at home would like to know’ … And that puts in their mind I’m doing this because there are a lot of voters watching.” Sales is versatile. She writes a fortnightly blog called Well-readhead, mostly about books and reading, and appears on the ABC’s The Drum website and News Ltd’s The Punch opinion website. Riffing on the new trend of the disgruntled throwing shoes at media conferences and other events, Sales showed her sense of humour in a piece she wrote in The Spectator Australia about the town hall-style forum she hosted that featured US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with what’s said up here today, I’d ask you to keep your shoes on,’ I advise. “Unless they’re designer ladies size 10, in which case throw them to me.” She enjoyed working with Clinton. “She was very warm. When we were out the back and she walked out of the elevator I felt like ‘Wow, you’re a real person’. I thought she worked that audience really well in a way that you don’t see many Australian politicians with this level of skill – at being able to connect with a room.” Sales has played the piano since she was 10 and is a keen reader. Right now it’s two books on US politics. She likes American novelist Philip Roth. “Even though he seems to write the same thing over and over. It’s either a young Jewish guy not getting any sex or an ageing Jewish guy mourning that he no longer gets any sex.” Sales has the sort of humour that the old Kerry O’Brien Report – sorry, 7.30 Report, could have used. With her talents and Uhlmann’s undoubted journalistic grunt, 7.30 might become required viewing again. \

Viva La France is its debut collection here (taken from its White Label) and tells the story of Marie Antoinette and her sisters, where decadence and scandal reigned supreme. There’s a fabulous range of tank tops, T-shirts and dresses in a collection inspired by romance, excess and beauty. There’s a touch of French innuendos and phrases drawn on garments for fun, hand-sketched drawings and sarcastic references to Marie Antoinette with slogans such as “Drama Queen”, “Gossip Sucks” and “Off With Her Head” thrown in for a laugh. Other great pieces that the label has created in the past include the ever-so-cool skeleton

hoodie, distressed skull T-shirts and baggy track pants (even though it doesn’t dare call them that on the website). The label captures urban rebellion like few can and shows you that wearing a T-shirt doesn’t need to be as plain as it sounds. With a campaign slogan that goes something like this: “Thou shalt not worship boys, only fashion”, we think it’s sweet without being sickly and say “oui” – get into this before your friends do. \

Sula Paint and Peel nail polishes (11ml, $14))

Sula, a Canadian company, started off as a purveyor of fragrances but over time released an innovative formulation for nail polishes that is not only divine but mind-boggling. You can paint on and peel off its non-toxic, water-based polishes without using a chemical remover at all. Paint as normal, avoid hot water for at least four hours and you’ll have an amazing set of nails.

Batiste Nude Dry Shampoo (50g, $14.95)

Batiste was one of the first to introduce affordable dry shampoo. The brand has now done one better by unveiling a dry shampoo for the eco-conscious, with zero volatile organic compounds. It is effective but gentle, hypoallergenic, 100 per cent natural formulation and fragrance free. Niftily packed in a squeezable bottle, the nozzle applicator makes application easy, plus you’ll notice a little goes a long way.

Tricky spelling, simple pronunciation – pretty potion. I came across this product backstage in New York one year. I wanted something that would give the models luminescent skin and hide all nicks, scrapes and discolourations. Created by make-up artist Bethany Karlyn, the potion is a perfect tool for a flawless taut body. The cream is fragrance-free, 92 per cent natural and has no nasties. Sensible packaging, cruelty free, great colour range including colours for dark skin and endorsed by a plethora of celebrities – what more could you ask for?

Philip Kingsley Swim Cap (150ml, £18.40 about $30)

I am obsessed with Philip Kingsley products. Known worldwide as the hair doctor, he totally lives up to his reputation. For me, the top pick is the Swim Cap, a hair conditioner that guards against discolouration and damage caused by sun, chlorine, salt water and wind. It also provides a superb conditioning treatment for all hair types. Sadly, it is not available in Australia, but you can buy it direct from his UK website, with the addition of a reasonable postage fee.

You can’t tell the wonders the Beauty Pod will help you unlock just by looking at it. It is just a shaped piece of sponge to the untrained eye, but once you start using it you will not want to put it down. This new, well-priced foundation applicator is the solution to all your foundation-application woes. It gives excellent professional results and finish. The domed-shaped pod that, to me, resembles a curvaceous woman, is easy to handle when applying complexion products and it also saves you from using too much. Experts who have used it swear by it and say it is the best on the market, and I tend to agree.

one product forges ahead of the pack and stays there. Why? Because it is simply the best, and no other product can do the same job as well or as effortlessly. Such a product is a clear winner in its individual category because it is so effective in solving one particular niche problem. And then the name gets around by word of mouth or through various media. In little or no time a product can go from being discovered to being a new sensation and then becoming a classic. These are one-of-a-kind products. Without the brouhaha and marketing frenzy usually associated with the beauty industry, they’ve fought to the top and they stay there. The following are my current favourites. I have selected these products for their sheer ingenuity, fun, quirkiness and – of course – practicality. Have fun. \

These two products are new to the Prevage line-up. I am a fan of the Prevage range with its use of the drug idebenone (chemically, an organic compound of the quinone family) and its published medical results. The serum is light to touch, goes on effortlessly and reduces puffiness, dark circles, the look of age spots, discolourations and sun-damaged skin. It also supports the skin’s natural collagen to help give eyes a firmer look. These are the new power-packed duo in eye care.

CHEMOTHERAPY STEPS

Subjected to chemotherapy, hair will immediately start falling out. This hair needs to be cut off at the roots. With your hairdresser, visit a wig outlet and select an appropriate wig. There are natural and synthetic wigs to comply with your existing hair’s length, colour and shape.

The hairdresser should then fit the wig by cutting, thinning and possibly razoring. With my clients, I always advise to give the wig a name. Rosie has always been a favourite. I believe it’s important to establish your new friend.

HAIR IS

the frame to your face. It identifies your personality, highlights your colour expression and projects what kind of person you are. It’s my job as a hairstylist to sustain this image even after traumatic hair loss. Over the past few years, I have had many clients who require assistance with hair replacement. In these private appointments, we try on lots of different wigs and hair extensions. It’s very important to find a wig that boosts their confidence so they’re ready to face their family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. \

Find a wig that boosts confidence

Post-chemotherapy, your hair will start to regrow. This hair is most likely curly, frizzy and difficult to manage, so our Rosie must be maintained until adequate hair length regrows.

The length of existing hair is now four centimetres, and clients have to be prepared to remove Rosie and introduce their short haircut to the world. The hair will need to be coloured and shaped for a new look.

The hair is now growing at a speedy rate. You are on the path to returning to the hair you used to have. It’s goodbye Rosie.

THE MANE DIFFERENCE STYLE \ MIRANDA COLOUR \ COFFEE LATTE AGE \ 20-30

This wig is a younger format and works best on our model because of her thickly shaped eyebrows. It's brunette and has the onslaught of fine, lightened highlights, which are randomly placed. The highlights are what we love because it takes away from the stark and the serious. The choppy cut accentuates the image of a pop chick.

STYLE \ SHYLO COLOUR \ CHAMPAGNE AGE \ 15-20

With such natural-looking regrowth, this wig is definitely the beach-babe look. The wig is synthetic, so it will always spring back into shape, even after you have been for a swim. The hair is wonderfully shattered, shiny and glossy. It's somewhat of a platinum blonde but has natural movements and soft kinks.

STYLE \ SUMMER COLOUR \ RED AGE \ 40-60

This wig is fabulous for those who love short hair. It has been masterfully cut and can be worn in many different ways. The colour red is a playful and fun option, especially for women who have always wanted to change their colour.

STYLE \ EMILY COLOUR \ BLONDE AGE \ 55-65

The texture and the colour of this wig suggests it's definitely for the mature woman. It has a forgiving fringe, a clean colour palette and tapers beautifully around the neck. It has waves and kinks and I love the versatility – you can wear it forward or slightly away from the ears.

STYLE \ ANGELICA COLOUR \ BRUNETTE AGE \ 30 +

This wig has a beautiful, deep regrowth. Its long hair will reflect the sunlight beautifully and because it's synthetic, it will also have a realistic shine. It has lovely layers and lots of volume. The way it has been made – by machine – gives you instant fullness.

STYLE \ EMILY COLOUR \ JAVA FROST AGE \ 40-60

The wonderful thing about a handmade wig is that you can manipulate the hairline. You can pull it forward and create a wispy, almost fly-away hairline. This is more for the European woman. The cut softly graduates through to the back and has been tapered through the neck. It is layered and has a clever fringe line that is wisped. march 23, 2011 \ The weekly review 25

Time for downtime With the constant pressures of modern lifestyles in mind, RACHAEL OAKES-ASH searches the spa world for ways to relax.

Destination spa

anaging downtime in a world of constant communication, work pressures, family relationships and financial demands is imperative to maintaining good mental health. The spa industry understands the different needs of stressed-out urbanites, whether you need a full-on seven-day detox retreat or an hour-long head massage to get you through your week. From destination spas to day spas, pampering never looked so good. The Weekly Review gives you the lowdown on downtime options in Australia.

Destination spas were once called health retreats, but you won’t find carrot sticks, water and boot-camp antics at today’s luxury lifestyle retreats. Expect a 30-treatment-room spa deep in bushland at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat in south-east Queensland. There’s a reason Hugh Jackman bought into the property, and it’s not just the Hollywood-style stand-alone bush villas with their private plunge pools. Book in for a multiday retreat focusing on detox, pampering, fitness or stress. You won’t know yourself come departure time. » gwinganna.com.au

• Floating shelves can add character to a dull wall and look less intense than the ceiling-to-floor variety.

(AMy ECKERT / gETTTy IMAgES)

“Can’t we just throw some of these out?’’ asked my husband, holding up a pile of well-worn David Baldacci novels he’d read on various holidays. One stern look from me and he went outside in search of another packing box. We move, the books move too. “Any passion for the written word also has to be reconciled with the collector’s lifestyle, as books can be compromising objects that one would not necessarily want to leave lying around,’’ wrote Dominique Dupuich in last year’s Living With Books. She adds that “regardless of tradition or modernity, style or design, what really matters is the collector’s relationship with his or her books’’. No one wants to live with overloaded bookshelf mayhem or navigate untidy piles of books tottering on the floor. How, then, can you make your book collection look beautiful? Here are some tips: • The bookshelf is an obvious choice for the display and storage of books. But consider other options such as a butler’s tray with a couple of small piles of books, or a single wooden chair with a neat stack. An ottoman can fulfil the same role as a coffee table. So can a big wicker basket, a decorative ladder (wide steps necessary), a tallboy and a chest of drawers. And to tie these in with the rest of your decor, choose books that have covers in similar shades to your furnishings. • If you’re staying in your home long-term, invest in built-in shelving. It brings a fabulous solidity to your room. If you are renting or can’t afford the built-in variety, choose bookshelves that are sturdy. We suggest timber ones, with shelves that are at least 30 millimetres in height. Make sure you have enough space between shelves to fit your biggest books, and check the depth of the case.

• Timber shelving colour is a personal thing but we love white because it brings out the best in book covers and spines. Black or slate-grey will give your room a modern look, while a brown stain looks clubbish and library-like. Beware of bright colours because your shelves will overpower the books. • Don’t feel compelled to stuff every compartment with books. A shelf with just one beautiful book facing out, a piece of sculpture or a small pile that is resting horizontally rather than vertically will add relief and make your room look bigger. • At home I colour co-ordinate my books. It makes your room look neater and bigger. I start with white books, then move into grey, black then dark blues into light blues and greens, yellows, orange and red. This appalls bookworms who can’t understand how a red-spined copy of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet can sit next to Richard Flanagan’s Wanting. But you’ll be amazed how quickly you learn your layout via the color of the spines. • Books can be used as a coffee table. We have a pane of glass that is held up by four piles of solid books and it looks terrific. And if you need one of those books, it’s easier than you think to extricate and replace it. • Place an armchair and reading light in front of your bookcase. It invites people to sit and read and can be easily moved if needed. \

• If you are building a house or renovating, consider recessed walls for your bookshelves. The end result is a beautiful, streamlined wall of books.

“The history of Jerusalem is the history of the world,’’ British historian Simon Sebag Montefiore writes in his preface, “but it is also the chronicle of an often penurious provincial town amid the Judaean hills.’’ Montefiore divides Jerusalem’s development into nine parts: Judaism; Paganism; Christianity; Islam; the Crusade; Mamluk; Ottoman; Empire; and Zionism. Each emerging religious group, invading or occupying force brought with it its own set of values and character and left a powerful mark. Montefiore’s efforts to uncover the secrets of this complex city are remarkable, and his book towers over many of the recently published biographies of the city. \

As Hollywood beckons, successful author Kathy Charles believes she has made her own luck, writes ClAire HAllidAy.

athy Charles appreciates the possibility of fate. Not in a consult-the-tarot-card-reader-beforemaking-a-decision kind of a way. Just the possibility. When prodded, she’ll say she believes in it but she’s also keen to add a qualifier. “I think you make your own fate,” the Melbourne-based author says. “I’m a believer in hard work and pushing until you get what you need.” What she needs now is continuing success as a writer, and with the recent news that her debut novel has been optioned by US producers Ralph and Joan Singleton (Because of Winn-Dixie) for development into a feature film, her hard work might just be reaping the rewards. Charles’s book – described as a “young adult” crossover – was released in Australia in 2008 as Hollywood Ending. It was released in the US in August this year through MTV Books, with the help of a US agent she sourced herself. There was a new title, John Belushi is Dead, and a new expectation. With a story that centres on a young woman’s exploration of notorious crime scenes in Hollywood history and society’s obsession with celebrity death, it was fitting that negotiations for the feature film rights took place at Chateau Marmont – the place where Belushi died in 1982. Charles’s own journey to this seminal Los Angeles haunt (and a subsequent mention in Variety) has its origins in a mundanely happy Eltham childhood. She had taken a break from her favourite Stephen King novels to discover Less Than Zero – the debut novel by Bret Easton Ellis. Charles, 32, has since written about the memory of that moment in a piece published on the website of Melbourne’s own literary scene hub, The Wheeler Centre: how she was “expecting parties, drugs and narcissism” within the pages of the renowned LA writer’s debut novel; how she was given so much more. The published piece was, essentially, a fan letter – a homage to the author Charles ranks as one of her favourites (Stephen King remains). But if the job of a fan letter is to illicit a response from the subject of one’s adoration, Charles’s aim was true. “His publicist saw it and really liked it and put it on Bret’s Facebook fan page, which got me a huge amount of hits to my website, obviously,” she says. The connection between publicist and writer came at a good time. That “fate”. The possibilities. Thanks to a full-time job (until recently Charles held a management position at a film postproduction facility), she could afford to engage the publicist’s services professionally – forking out for three months’ worth of a small but focused campaign that has seen her book push past some other new releases to find a loyal fan base. There’s been another connection with Easton Ellis – she was invited to help conduct an interview with the man himself during his visit to an Australian writers’ festival. She wore her fandom on her sleeve, and has received his personal endorsement of her work in return. “He was an incredibly generous person. The support he has shown me has been absolutely fantastic,” she says. The last few months, says Charles, have been particularly “surreal” – a flurry of flying to LA for book launches and business deals. “My two favourite authors are Bret Easton Ellis and Stephen King, and I ended up with Bret’s publicist and one of Stephen King’s producers (Ralph Singleton produced Pet Sematary),” says Charles.

When the cards fall right Happy? Yes. But it’s a happiness that is tempered by even loftier goals. “I don’t have the sort of personality where I sit back and go, ‘Oh … look at all this stuff happening … isn’t this amazing?’ Because it never feels amazing enough. As a writer you just have to keep pushing and pushing for the next thing. It’s very hard to sit back and smell the roses and say, ‘OK … that’s really great. I’ve done a good job’.” If the screenplay Singleton is writing goes well and a finished film is the eventual conclusion, it will be a success Charles can measure against her own long-term love for film. For the past decade, day-jobbing in the local film industry has seen her traverse marketing, funding bodies and publicity to management. “I think I write very cinematically. The way I write is

sHe imagined real actors speaking tHe dialogue sHe typed nigHt after nigHt

quite sparse and I don’t like overly descriptive, flowery prose. I like the reader to be able to fill in what’s going on between the lines, themselves.” Los Angeles is another passion. It’s a place she first visited aged 16 as part of a youth musical ensemble and has returned to many times since, visiting an aunt and having a secure base from which to spread her wings. “It’s the place people go when they are striving for something quite extreme – one of those last cities in the world where people go to really follow their dreams. And sometimes those dreams are very unhealthy and sometimes dangerous. But I think that’s part of what makes the city so seductive and appealing and intoxicating.

Hard work pays off: Author Kathy Charles’s debut novel Hollywood Ending has been optioned in the US for the movie rights. (ShAnnon MorriS)

You can go there and get rich or you can go there and get shot to death on Sunset Boulevard. That sense of danger is very appealing to me as a writer,” she says. When she deviated from her original goal of becoming a filmmaker (she changed her mind after accepting the reality that filmmaking is incredibly collaborative and that did not fit with her being “a bit of a control freak”), Charles turned her attention to novel-writing at the age of 25. “I wrote a very bad first novel about a girl who goes to Los Angeles – kind of a coming-of-age story and autobiographical in all the worst ways, as most first novels are,” she says. Hollywood Ending came next – written over a stream of nights at the end of full-time working days and sent to local publishers before being picked up by Text Publishing. To help her characters stay on track, she imagined real actors speaking the dialogue she typed night after night, but she never imagined she’d find herself here – with producers developing a screenplay of her work. It’s a form of writing she is keen to explore herself and, with another novel out on submission with publishers in the US, Charles is taking a break from another novel, and work, to try her hand. “Everyone whose career is worth anything has experienced soaring highs and terrifying lows,” she says. She’s read a lot of celebrity biographies to see how other people have struggled with the climb up the career ladder and cites a personal hero, Warren Beatty, as a prime example. “For years, he lived on other people’s couches and ate nothing but two-minute noodles and was terribly ill because he never ate properly. But he was incredibly focused on his career,” she says, sure that her own path to success will come with hard work and perseverance. “I haven’t had to eat two-minute noodles yet and I haven’t had to sleep on couches, so I’m doing OK.” \

film BARNEy’S vERSION \ Opens March 24, Rated M

SCREWS GET LOOSE \ Those Darlins (Spunk)

A masterful turn Giamatti will struggle to better

Paul Giamatti has been perfecting his rumpled, irascible but strangely loveable characters for some years now. After new comedy-drama Barney’s Version, he might need to diversify, for his hard-drinking, trash-producing Barney Panofsky is a masterful turn Giamatti will struggle to better. Despite his manifold shortcomings, Barney remains bitterly appealing as he picks up (and loses) three attractive wives and (possibly) murders his best friend. For some, Barney’s unfathomable success with the ladies might prove a sticking point. Can an unattractive, talentless alcoholic man really lure in such pretty girls with a few witty barbs? The suspension of disbelief required is the same needed to enter Woody Allen’s parallel universe, where the bespectacled intellectual is recast as romantic hero. Indeed, Barney’s Version would fit quite neatly into Allen’s canon, slotted somewhere between Annie Hall and Hannah and Her Sisters – that irresistible intersection between Woody as comedian and Woody as dramatist. While the film does lose some of its bite in the final, overly sentimental act, the first two-thirds remain some of the snappiest, most acidly funny moments put to celluloid in recent years. \

Some bands make perfectly crafted music, others throttle it out. Owing as much to the Ramones as to the musical heritage of their hometown of Nashville, Those Darlins are the country-punk band we never knew we always wanted. The 11 songs here rattle past like hurried arguments or demands, while the girls pull on their party boots. This lackadaisical approach to music making is evident from the opening track. Halfway through, all four band members seem to start playing different songs. Strangely, this doesn’t mean the music feels half-arsed. Instead, the tunes throb with urgency, as if they are so vital they need to be shared – even if the band has better places to be. It’s all great, rude fun that rarely flags. The chief appeal here is plain-speaking trashiness, coupled with a knowing, playful sexuality. On Be Your Bro, the three vocalists complain they “just wanna play in the dirt with you/you just wanna stick it in”. Musically, Screws Get Loose is less country than their eponymous debut, which edges these darlings closer to generic grrl punk, a brand that really isn’t all that new or novel. It’s hard to buy that, 30 years on, punk is still a fresh force, able to reinvigorate a flagging genre. That said, the raw racket here is probably a good deal closer to the roots of country music than, say, the new Kasey Chambers. \

tv BOARDWALK EMPIRE \ Showtime, Sunday March 27, 7.30pm For months now, mention of Boardwalk Empire has been greeted by hushed, almost reverent approval from those in the know. The cast! The director! The gangsters! As it finally arrives, disappointment seems inevitable. As if aware of this, the super-stylised opening titles work hard to continue the hype. Steve Buscemi stands on a CGI beach while circling cameras lick him all over and hip ’60s-esque rock jangles loudly. It might almost be an advertisement for a new range of quirky-looking American actors. You will love this! it screams. The fact is, this tale of a corrupt politician in prohibition-era Atlantic City really is as good as you want it to be. Still, you might find yourself wishing it stopped trying so hard. This tale Directed by Martin Scorsese, the first episode is is as good a beautiful, well-written and winningly acted piece as you want of work, but in reaching for the cinematic it instead it to be exposes the shortcomings of a television budget. The re-creation of 1920s Atlantic City is intended to impress, and it does – but only as an illusion. When Buscemi struts along the eponymous boardwalk, the scenery is so obviously computer generated, we might be playing the world’s least interactive video game. These are, of course, niggling concerns. The world of Boardwalk Empire might lack the grit and rough edges of Deadwood, but its glossy nature isn’t a substitute for substance. This is quality television, destined to be discussed for years to come. If it tries too hard to impress, we can be forgiving. In mimicking the scale of film, the show ultimately reminds us that TV can be a far more epic medium. It may lack grandeur, but here there is space for storytelling that is at once magnificently sprawling and irresistibly intimate. \ 32 The weekly review \ march 23, 2011

gigs HOLLy THROSBy \ Friday March 25, The Corner Hotel THE OvALS \ Friday March 25, Cherry Bar Sydney’s Holly Throsby is a girl of many talents. As well as releasing four well-received LPs, the singer-songwriter has written and illustrated a pair of comic books and, last year, knocked out an album of children’s songs. It’s likely neither comics nor kiddy tunes will be on offer for this Friday’s launch of her new album, but that’s no reason to be downhearted. Awash with fragile, beautiful and slightly wonky songs, Team might just be her best record yet. If perfectly sculpted folky tunes don’t appeal, Melbourne band the Ovals might be a better bet. The group specialise in tracks that sprawl into the sort of psychedelia not heard since Pink Floyd traded in drugs for a stab at stadium rock. Their new EP Into the Eyes of Those Who Sleep, fuses the mindbending krautrock of Can with the grim gothicism of our own Nick Cave. \ mykebartlett@gmail.com

WICKEDLY DOWN TO EARTH

Ordinary guy and rock’n’roll crooner Chris Isaak talks straight with JANE ROCCA.

hris Isaak is happily stuck in the past, his music and image hooked on the advent of rock’n’roll and that of a crooner’s life. His slick quiff is reminiscent of a young Elvis slipping and sliding in blue suede shoes, his denim jeans with the cuffs rolled up is retro hillbilly to a tee and his country-and-western shirts hail a star waiting to take to the stage. Welcome to the world of Chris Isaak, a 54-year-old rocker who hasn’t let age weary him, nor has he let major record companies have their way with his image (his contract with Warner Brothers expired last year after a decade-long run but he remained on amicable terms – making albums the way he wanted to every time). He’s modern in the most retro of ways, clinging to a clean-cut image of the 1950s, and doesn’t shy from his gentlemanly manner – you know he’d be the kind of guy obligingly opening doors for women wherever he goes. Isaak certainly has poster-boy value too but, alas, he’s a bit over the hill for that (sorry, Mr Isaak) – even though when he first emerged in the ’80s, he was hailed as the new Elvis.

“I LIKE THE SIMPLE LIFE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.”

He clings to twangy guitar riffs, writes dark and lonesome lyrics and packages himself in the kind of nostalgia that makes women go weak at the knees. Chances are, you first heard of Isaak back in the late 1980s when his single Wicked Game became the theme music used in David Lynch’s offbeat movie Wild at Heart staring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern. That song certainly helped kick-start his career in music – it was later discovered by a US disc jockey, who played it to death on his radio show. Not long after, the song climbed to No.6 on the Billboard pop charts in 1991 and made Isaak a star. The song was taken from his third studio album, Heart Shaped World, in 1989. He has released 14 albums, including live ones, and even hosted his own show, The Chris Isaak Hour, on cable television in the US, where he interviewed other music celebrities including Stevie Nicks and Trisha Yearwood. He’s had a shot at acting (with small roles in Married to the Mob and The Silence of the Lambs) but it’s his working-class upbringing that keeps him from trading country life for Tinseltown – even though Hollywood keenly courts him. Isaak is one of three sons (he’s the youngest) born to an Italian mother (Dorothy Vignolo) from Genoa and

an American father (Joe Isaak). The couple is still married. His father is very sick in hospital and Isaak visits him on a daily basis when he’s not on tour. What’s more, he lives only a few hours away from where he grew up in Stockton, California. “I live in very flat farming area with lots of rivers,” says Isaak. “It’s kind of like a delta. I like the simple life, to be honest with you. I don’t need fancy scenery. It’s a strange world, you know, because I’ll be buried across the street from where I grew up. In fact, my dad worked up the road from his house and the hospital is across the street from our home. It’s a weird life, isn’t it? He’s lived a full life and it’s happened in the one small town.” It’s heavy commentary from a guy who has only been talking to me for five minutes, but it’s not as macabre as it may sound. For Isaak, discussing death and the inevitable is part of life, saying that money can’t buy you more time on this earth, admitting that spending time in hospitals makes you feel more fragile about life. “There is nothing rock’n’roll about what I do on my days off, either,” he adds. “I am just an ordinary guy going about my life and seeing family as one does. The bigger the rock star you think you are, the reality kicks in when you’re taking the garbage out and you remember that you are always going to be your parents’ kid.” He traces his charmingly good looks to his “mother’s genes” and used to box in his spare time, buy old records with his mum as a kid and later discovered a love of surfing – something he still enjoys today, which undoubtedly keeps him looking fit and terrific in his mid-50s. Before arriving in Australia, Isaak was recording at Sun Studios in Memphis, working on a follow-up to his 2009 album, Mr Lucky. The album, tentatively titled Lucky Old Sun is a concept record – Isaak promises it will be full of rockabilly twists and turns and possibly an early Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis cover. “When I made Mr Lucky it was my way of saying I know I am in a privileged position with my work, and I love what I do,” he says. “I love my family and friends and I’d say I’m lucky to have them all in my life. It doesn’t get any better than that.” The Grammy-nominated musician, who has been

The consummate entertainer: Chris Isaak has been making records for more than 25 years. (NEAL PRESTON)

making music since he was in his late teens, has spent his entire working life committed to being a singer and songwriter. He first started out playing a lot of old-school rockabilly music, evident on his Warner Bros debut Silvertone in 1985. That album also saw director David Lynch borrow the song Gone Ridin`for his Blue Velvet flick. Isaak has always maintained a connection with rockabilly but has also shown us the power of a ballad or two in his palette of sounds. It might come as a surprise that Isaak has never been married, doesn’t have kids and is more than happy with his life just the way it is.

“I spend so much time on the road. No lady wants her man to be away from home on the weekends,” he says. “My parents have been together since they were 17 and now they’re around 80. I still like to think that what they have is the ultimate, and it’s rare. I have been in many relationships and I am friends with many of the women I dated, but it didn’t work out for one reason or another. You can’t force things and your life chooses you I believe.” Perhaps his attempt at making relationships work has helped Isaak write some great love songs over the years – most of his songs are about one’s desire to understand matters of the heart and grow from the mistakes we make. He is a huge country music fan, citing Hank Snow, Hank Williams and the Everly Brothers as some of his favourites. He listens to music from the ’40s and ’50s and says you can’t live a proper life without acknowledging music from that era. “They wrote about the real deal. They were straight shooters and not afraid to write songs about being broken hearted,” he says. “I’d like to think I apply that rule to my own music.” \

R e v ie w \ gR o w in g p o p u l a R i t y

The paddock-to-plate movement, in the form of farmers’ markets, is a rapidly growing business, writes HeLeN GrImaUX.

ove over, California: farmers’ markets have come to Victoria. And we love them Melburnians especially. Sporting backpacks and wicker baskets, families in tow and often the dogs, come rain, hail or shine, city dwellers and suburbanites are out in droves, with a seemingly insatiable appetite for knowing their food and their food gurus. It’s that irresistible allure of receiving the fruits of the fields from the hands of the farmers who planted them, and the recipes of the people who grow and cook what they eat as well. Melbourne is, after all, one of the world’s most liveable cities and the cultural and culinary heart of the nation. But now, finally, this great metropolis seems to be extending its pride of place to include the rest of Victoria. Maybe it’s a result of this state’s highly successful “jigsaw” tourism campaign and founding slogan: “you’ll love every bit of it”. This 15-year effort has certainly opened local eyes to adventures awaiting in our own backyards, and developed a view of this state and its regions based on local geography, history, culture and growing conditions. Growing what grows best, where it can grow without chemical interference or too much human intervention, has slowly turned the pendulum away from the monoculture approach that defined early farming land as either wheat country, sheep country, cattle country or scrub. Those times have gone, the last vestiges of Victoria’s 1920s and ’30s irrigation schemes dismantled by the longest drought on record and the national effort to save from permanent closure the Murray River and the world-significant Coorong wetlands at the river’s mouth. (OK, it was also about saving our cities and country towns as well, and radically changing the farming environment as we’ve known it.)

To markeT, To markeT ...

A boutique state

Self-managed retirees and some keen investors have pioneered country Victoria’s booming boutique farm sector, particularly in the green wedge hinterlands of Melbourne and on the Mornington Peninsula. They have sparked a 21st-century boom in boutique wines and cheeses, award-winning olive oils, and tapenades and dips to die for. And there’s more: lemon myrtle ice-cream and pepperberry salt, organic charcuterie and chocolate, gourmet bush tucker and new-age delights beyond description. Will the temptations never stop? Victorians are adopting their favourite food-and-wine trails for family outings in much the same way as their San Franciscan counterparts take weekenders in the Napa and Sonoma counties, striking up long-term friendships with country suppliers and farmgate sellers. The kitchen rules again. We support our favourite local wine labels and our home-grown foodies as we do our football teams. But even slow food was quicker than farmers’ markets in the uptake. So why has it taken four decades for this paddock-to-plate phenomena to really take hold here?

Victorian Farmers’ Markets Association

A farmer’s market is no ordinary market: you can’t just franchise it – this runs counter to their counterculture charter, which goes to the heart of the whole of issue of our food-supply chain. Farmers’ markets support what is called permanent agricultural systems, sustainable 34 The weekly review \ march 23, 2011

farming and, increasingly, organic farming. They also seek to cut the middle men out of the supply chain, particularly large corporates whose market power can manipulate the varieties grown and the prices received by food producers. Plus farmers’ markets cut out lots of “food miles”, one of the essential countables towards more sustainable lives, as well as freshness. Developing the national and Victorian charters for farmers’ markets, and the accreditation process that goes with this has become serious and potentially big business here. A pre-election parliamentary inquiry was informed in October last year that the farmers’ market sector is already generating $227 million in economic returns around Australia each year, most of which go directly to the farmgates of new and emerging niche-market, fresh-food producers and small manufacturers on farms, in towns and even from suburban backyards. Urban homesteading, as it’s called in San Francisco’s

Bay area, gives city folk on larger blocks and community garden co-ops the chance to also make some profit by selling extra produce at local farmers’ markets. This is not new here, just not formalised as such. Stephanie Alexander used her local newspaper to put out a call to backyard growers to bring their specialties to her signature Hawthorn kitchen in the 1990s, recognising the influence and agronomic skills of Melbourne’s Mediterranean and European communities. And it was another Hawthorn restaurant some years later that first coined the term “MediterrAsian” to put Melbourne cuisine in another perspective. The truth is, in Melbourne, we have it all. We’re spoiled for choice. The Victorian Farmers’ Markets Association just wants to make sure we know what we’re choosing. The Veg Out market in St Kilda is paradise for organic purists and is supported by a huge community gardening effort, while the farmer’s market at

Collingwood College is a standout for innovation and school-based community action, with Stephanie Alexander at the vanguard of a national gardening and good-eating education program to counter obesity. Nearby, Abbotsford Convent is the perfect gothic backdrop for presenting Melbourne’s fine culinary artisans and producers at workshops and demonstrations, and now Melbourne has its own permanent farmer’s market every Sunday at Melbourne Showgrounds. The VFMA has recognised about 90 farmers’ markets around the state and 20 in metropolitan Melbourne so far, with a further dozen or so on the suburban fringes and areas within about an hour of the CBD. And the applications grow monthly. More than 350 farmers and artisanal food producers have now also been certified under the Victorian accreditation program, which started last year. Workshops and information sessions will be held again this year at rural field days as well as in Melbourne. The VFMA estimates Victorians spend about $2 million a week, more than $100 million last year, at accredited farmers’ markets, with almost a quarter of the state’s residents visiting a market once a month or more. Of these, more than 80 per cent of shoppers said they were seeking fresh, quality food and produce, and 76 per cent said they got value for the money they spent. Feedback from the parliamentary inquiry into farmers’ markets in Victoria is caught up in the hiatus caused by Victoria’s change of government, plus the committee chairman, former MP George Seitz, has retired from politics. So it will be a few months before submitters to this important review receive official feedback on this vital and important new economic sector and further indications of the new government’s

policy directions for possible changes to the business environment for food production in this state.

Roots of global movement

While the US has been developing farmers’ markets as a regulated and legitimate small-business sector since 1977, it wasn’t until 1997 that the first successful farmer’s market opened in England, in Bath. And it took until June 2002 for the UK’s National Farmers’ Retail and Markets Association (FARMA) to launch a certification program to ensure farmers’ markets were being run in accordance with original principles. There are now about 550 farmers’ markets across the UK, with almost half certified or embarked on this process. There are more than 500 accredited markets in California, and thousands more around the US. Regulating farmers’ markets in Australia was to a large extent spearheaded by Jane Adams, a Sydney-based marketing consultant, who brought such iconic brand names as Cloudy Bay wines and Cobram Estate olive oil to our hampers. Adams studied the movement in the US and gave her first workshop on

how to start a farmer’s market in Orange in 1999. By 2002 there were 35 farmers’ markets in Australia and the inaugural Australian Farmers’ Market conference was held in November that year. Now head of the AFMA, Adams has overseen exponential growth in this emerging agribusiness movement. By late last year, the AFMA had 120 accredited farmers markets registered around Australia, of which the majority are in Victoria. Meanwhile, in the US, farmers’ markets are just one element in an alternative food sector that now includes community-supported grower co-operatives and internet-based shop-and-deliver organic and fresh produce suppliers. From the moment you hit LA or San Francisco international airports, the Organic Growers Association of California certifies this state’s food focus, and that’s just the welcome. Touring the Bay area, there are Whole Foods supermarkets bigger than many suburban Woollies and Coles here, and specialist stores in most neighbourhoods are stocked to the brim with fresh organic produce, including meat, poultry and fish, a gobsmacking array of grower-labelled fare and heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables, celebrating diversity rather than comformity in designer food for everyday and momentous occasions. The big chain supermarkets are fighting back the only way they can – bringing in organic ranges themselves to tap into this lucrative, consumer-driven market for “real food”. But only farmers’ markets and farmgates put producers at the coalface with consumers. And that’s what the customers want. \

A GARDEN WITH HEART

A deep respect for history gives this home strength, character and soul, writes JUDITH HUGHES.

Neighbourly love: Pamela Jellie says it’s the connections she makes with people through her garden that give it a heart. (suPPlied)

36 The weekly review \ march 23, 2011

amela Jellie studied landscape architecture at RMIT in the 1960s, so when she and her husband, David, bought their Victorian house in Canterbury 44 years ago, she recognised the garden’s potential. The house is beautifully situated on a natural incline with a small front garden and deep back garden. An interest in history is evident from collectibles such as an old mangle on the front verandah and a pottery cider filter that lies on its side in a corner of the garden. It comes as no surprise to learn that Pamela specialised in heritage work in her practice. One of her early assignments was the recreation of the garden for Victoria University at Sunbury. She located some of the original plants from the old asylum and incorporated them into her garden design. She was also responsible for the restitution of the extensive garden beds at the Abbotsford convent, after a community campaign (1998-2005) prevented it being rezoned for a major residential development. She has also held the position of chair of the Victorian branch of the Australian Garden History Society. Beside a path that leads to a secret garden is a magnolia grandiflora struck from a tree planted when the house was first built. The original tree no longer exists. A couple of shrubs that were in the garden when the Jellies arrived continue to thrive. These include a rhaphiolepis umbellata (Indian Hawthorn) and a South American brugmansia. Pamela designed the semicircular stone wall that divides an outdoor eating area from the gently sloping lawn (gloriously green for the first time in years). Softly curved garden beds surround the grassed area. A row of scarlet geraniums in terracotta pots on top of the warmly coloured stone wall is reminiscent of the Mediterranean. The flowering cherry tree was added after a trip to the Orient and a tour of China’s famous gardens. In the front garden is a cotinsus planted after a visit to Croatia, where the burgundy-coloured smoke bush grew in wild profusion. While the references to the history of the garden are important, and reminders of romantic places visited, it is the connections Pamela and David make with people, through their garden, that give it a heart. Pamela points out the joy of a borrowed landscape. “Our neighbours agreed not to replace the fence when it fell down and now we enjoy each other’s gardens as well as our own.” Interspersed throughout the garden are what Pamela calls “souvenirs of other people’s gardens”. These include geraniums that her mother grew and treasures from some of the properties she worked on in the Western District. Plants grown from cuttings from the garden of Jim Willis, for many years the assistant government botanist at the National Herbarium (Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne) are prized, too. And situated near the front door is a yew tree, Pamela’s tribute to one of Australia’s most influential landscape designers, Edna Walling. The garden at 5 Claremont Crescent, Canterbury, has great bones and wonderful features, but its charm emanates from a warm heart. \

Just five kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, Port Melbourne offers inner-city living with a beachside lifestyle. 101 Bay Street is a block from Port Melbourne Beach with its narrow, grass lawns, wide sandy beach and palm trees and view of the nearby Spirit of Tasmania ferry. The shared cycle and pedestrian pathway that starts in Port Melbourne runs 50 kilometres around the east side of the bay to Seaford. Bay Street is home to a range of retail shopping outlets, including a supermarket, gourmet grocers, post office, fashion outlets and trendy pubs, bars and restaurants. Port Melbourne is serviced by the 109 tram, which runs via the city to Box Hill, and there is easy access to freeways via CityLink.

home office and a place to congregate during a party. The changing nature of the kitchen therefore lies not in the function but rather the aesthetics. Cabinetry, appliances, materials and joinery are now smarter, slicker and more sophisticated. The open-plan design also ensures that the kitchen has become the centrepiece of the house, holding greater significance in style and status. Like a work of art, or a designer piece of furniture, the kitchen is now a focal point, taking centre stage and reflecting a homeowner’s taste. And like all things fashionable, more and more Australians are keeping up to date with European trends. Andrew Vidor, 43, is the director of made., an Australian-owned, family-run company that designs and manufactures European kitchens. Vidor and his team travel to European trade fairs twice a year and say one of the strongest trends to emerge this year is the application of colour. “What we are seeing is a lot of interesting blues and reds,” explains Vidor. “Although there is still your basic white kitchens, a lot of the designs will now implement a colourful benchtop or splashback.” made. draws on the resources of German manufacturer Nolte Kitchens, the third largest manufacturer of custom kitchens in Germany. Known for its high quality and excellent designs, Nolte supplies made. with the latest German hardware – from

interior carcases and drawer inserts to self-closing and soft-cushioning mechanisms. “The Nolte headquarters always show us what is happening internationally,” says Vidor. “We then base the European trends on our own style and make it applicable to the Australian market.” Vidor, who bases his company’s philosophy on designing “the heart of the home,” believes that each space needs to reflect a homeowner’s lifestyle patterns. “Kitchens have always been the most central point of the house. It’s very important before a design brief, that we have established how the clients live in their kitchen,” explains Vidor. “We ask them to think about and discuss with each how they use their kitchen. Is it for ergonomic or efficiency purposes or are they looking for an interesting design?” made. offers full project management, including the supply and installation of the latest German kitchen hardware and European appliances, covering every detail – tapware, benchtops, lighting, sinks and appliances all based on the individual needs of each project. As more Australians become kitchen conscious, made. has established a market, designing and supplying exclusive kitchens at affordable prices. With kitchens custom built, its work encompasses new materials, innovative layouts, appliances for most purposes and stunning decorative elements. \

Sahara This elegant, soft colour creates a streamlined, smooth look and works in light-filled spaces. Pared back with darker benchtop surfaces and colours, Sahara is the perfect option for versatility, adapting to any environment. Monza Red This is a bold, brave and striking colour that oozes personality. Pared back with limed marsh oak panels, Monza Red provides a stunning contrast and a great focal point of the kitchen/living areas. Aqua Turquoise Providing the ultimate in bright and airy design, the high-gloss front in metallic Aqua Turquoise combines with laminate wood-like benchtops to create an inspiring and luminous space.

timber veneer Create a kitchen that resonates elegance and timeliness with made.’s Nova Lack and Furnier kitchen. With sustainably certified timbers, these finishes are a modern interpretation on a traditional timber look, creating a warm and liveable environment.

new laminate benchtops

New laminate benchtops in wood- and stone-like finishes reflect the organics trend in a range of sizes – 16mm, 40mm, 50mm and 100mm. Using this hard-wearing surface to showcase new trends is a clever interpretation of the shift back to organics. The made. range includes laminates in the best German quality in a large range of colours and designs – to suit most needs. New laminate designs include polar-oak silver, limed natural oak, maple, Carrara marble, natural stone, Jura granite and limed moor oak – to complement or contrast an existing or new kitchen design.

the breakfast bar

The 100mm breakfast bar is a new addition to the made. design offering, extending the concept of blending the kitchen/living areas. The concept of a raised platform above the traditional kitchen benchtop is a perfect space solution where breakfast and preparation areas combine to become one.

These clever, design-oriented U-frames come in a range of sizes, not only for the island bench, but benchtop extensions, credenzas or tabletops. Add depth and perspective to kitchen elements with these metal U-frames, which enhance the look of the kitchen while retaining full functionality.

Take a step away from the lineal and embrace curves! Moving towards softer, elegant and feminine lines, curved handles – a key trend and a new offering from made. – mix form and function to create a smooth, sleek and defined look to the kitchen elements.

From little kids big things grow

Photographer and eco-warrior Jason Kimberley talks to children about climate change in a language they can understand, writes Andrew McUtchen. Fighting the good fight: Jason Kimberley (pictured in his own garden) says his Cool Melbourne website aims to promote eco awareness to children through education. (JArrod BArNES)

Kimberley’s tips to keep Melbourne cool

ason Kimberley showed a lot of cheek when he trekked across Antarctica in 2005, frequently in the nude if you are to believe the photos, but he’s never had an idea to raise environmental awareness concerns as cool as this one. His coffee-table book, Antarctica: A Different Adventure, detailed the photographer’s 16-day journey to the heart of the most inhospitable continent on earth to highlight the “responsibility we all have to ensure the preservation of our natural environment”. Kimberley’s latest initiative, in an organic nutshell, is to educate children about the broader concept of global warming by downsizing the issue to relate to the city we live in. And so www.coolmelbourne.org was born. “We’re just a little bit ahead of the crest of a fairly decent wave,” Kimberley says of his website, which is gaining subscribers – 500 teachers a day download educational materials from it – and, even more importantly, in the support it receives from the Commonwealth Education Department. “Whether the goal is community engagement or education or making people generally aware of the challenges we’re facing,

l l l

our online resources aim to be at the leading edge of the issues. We’re targeting children primarily and talking to them in a language they can understand.” Even at this stage, with the website only 2½ years young, the message is being heard loud and clear by the target demographic. Cool Melbourne has 125,000-130,000 kids participating, and the number is growing. With several ambitious projects – including a photographic journey called Australia Exposed – in the bag, he shows no sign of setting conservative goals. “We want to get that figure up to 500,000 subscribers a year in the next three years,” he says. “At the same time we’re starting the education program in 10 schools around Victoria – primary, secondary and one special school that has kids at different stages of learning. “We’re at the stage now where we’ve done a lot off the back of pretty much nothing, and now we’ve refined the mission down from a lot of great ideas and we’re just focused on getting the resources into schools and incorporated into school life. We’re trying to really get down to what’s relevant to them and how they can impact on their own worlds.”

Kimberley’s modus operandi for changing our cities’ attitude to the environment – and he is clearly drawing a bead on our cities, as they produce “something like 80 per cent of Australia’s emissions” – was not always focused on children, but as the project began to take shape he realised that from little kids, big things grow. “When we started off it was more focused on general information for people about our environment,” he says. “It was a kind of ‘Environment 101’, full of difficult concepts explained simply for people to grasp. When you talk about scientists and studies, people’s eyes glaze over, so we put it in terms of how many MCGs full, or Port Phillip Bays so that people can get a rational understanding of the size and scope of what we’re talking about. With this approach we found the information was really resonating with kids, so we altered our objective to be more about changing their behaviours early and raising their awareness, which will have a bigger impact on the future anyway.” While queries about the business model for Cool Melbourne are met by Kimberley – whose father Craig founded retail clothing giant Just Jeans – with a coy chuckle and the statement, “It’s a gift from me at this stage!”, the future sustainability of the website is no laughing matter. Cool Melbourne has gained real traction in both education and mainstream media circles – News Ltd recently rated it as ‘the best online resource for environmental education and information’. “Once we’ve got our board confirmed and our governance issues bedded down, we’re going to go out and say ‘Here’s what we’re doing, here’s where we’ve come from’ and I’ll be passing on the initial feedback, which has been incredibly positive,” Kimberley says. “It’s not enough to say ‘Hey, we’re going to do this’. You need to actually do it and say ‘Look what we’ve done, we’ve created something unique that has had an instant impact’. Then people want to come in and support it once you’ve knocked out some of that initial risk and got some runs on the board. “We’ve got a vegie patch and compost bin, a water tank, double-glazed windows, energy-efficient appliances and a hybrid car,” Kimberley says “The kids are much more savvy today than I was when I was young. My young daughter is already onto recycling, growing our own food and picking up rubbish on the street. Building environmental awareness into your children’s world view definitely starts at home.” Kimberley believes that conservation starts at home, and he lists some of the small ways that his family employs to make a difference. “What I really want people to do is just stop, pause, reflect on what you’re doing and then ask, ‘is there a better way?’. Then, if you see positive changes you could make, or if Cool Melbourne opens your eyes to a different way, just try it for a week. Try composting, try having a two-minute shower, try riding to work a few days a week. All we can do is keep the information coming and keep trying to give people an understanding of what’s going on.” \

Parents should speak to their kids’ teachers and ask if they’re aware of our Cool Schools online resource. It’s a great way to get parents’ involved in their kids’ education. In the house you can have a list of Good Green Things to do, from turning off lights to recycling. By composting alone we’ve dropped our household rubbish by 40 per cent. If you’ve got the space and capacity to have a water tank, install one. When it starts raining, go out with the kids and watch the water flooding into it. After the drought we felt like farmers watching the first drops of rain on the fields! No matter where you are, I’d recommend you grow your own herbs. Even if you live in an apartment you can do it. We’re lucky enough to have a six-by-four-metre vegie garden in the front yard and it’s become a real focus of the family’s activity.

KEW

6 KILOMETRES EAST OF THE CBD The Studley Park precinct of Kew is one of the most prestigious parts of this affluent suburb. It is known for its steep terrain, proximity to the Yarra River and striking houses, many designed by some of Australian’s most famous post-war architects. The combination of the pioneering modern houses and the topography now makes Studley Park very important in design and architecture. Among the famous architects who designed post-war houses in Studley Park were Robin Boyd, Frederick Romberg, Neil Clerehan, Peter McIntyre, Geoffrey Mewton, Roy Grounds, David Chancellor, William Patrick and Russian emigre Anatol Kagan. Walking tours of of post-modernist houses include many in Studley Park. Kew has a large number of schools, Kew Junction shopping centre and several smaller shopping strips..

FROM EVERY ANGLE 3101 T Kew’s elite Studley Park neighbourhood has a newcomer and, as MARIA HARRIS discovered, there is a good vibe about the place.

hink of a modernist-style house geared to open-plan living and entertaining with abundant natural light that is functional, private, energy efficient and looks fantastic and you get the vibe. And you keep getting the vibe as you walk through this new house in Kew’s elite Studley Park neighbourhood. Vibe Design Group, already known for two other modernist houses in Studley Park, designed this newly built residence. The tri-level house is one of those that stops you in your tracks the minute you step inside. There is something to admire at every turn – from the use of angles to the marble and timber surfaces, the use of glass and the brilliant open-plan living and entertainment areas. “We wanted the home to express itself in a new way, adding to the beauty of the landscape with a dynamic composition,” says Vibe managing director Michael O’Sullivan. “Our clients had always admired the modernist-style houses in the Hollywood Hills and Palm Springs, which were geared around open-plan living and entertaining.” The house is remarkable from the street for its minimalist exterior with timber-battened façade. A timber walkway, with discreet lighting, leads to an entry that is concealed behind a timber-battened porch. In fact, timber, mainly silvertop ash, features prominently and allows the building to sit harmoniously in the landscape. “The silvertop ash used both vertically and

horizontally with a series of battens creates visual diversity with the one material,” says O’Sullivan. “We were attracted to the sustainable qualities of timber, being one of the most environmentally friendly building materials available.” Tallow wood was used for the floors. Elegant timber stairs take you down to the lower ground floor, which houses the rumpus room/gym, a bedroom or movie room with its own sleek bathroom, laundry with external access and access to the double garage. A dumb waiter from the garage allows shopping bags and heavy parcels to be sent directly upstairs. Timber stairs also lead to the first floor, where two bedrooms are off a study nook. The bedrooms share a terrific bathroom, which makes excellent use of the available space. The site, a barren block of land without any leafy gum trees so common in this part of Kew, presented

challenges. The main challenge was to emulate the beauty and naturalness of the surrounding neighbourhood in the design of the house while offering privacy and liveability, says O’Sullivan. They got that right, because the house is remarkably private yet has views to greenery in the distance. This house also includes some of the Vibe Group’s favourite signature features – a series of hidden doors disguised in a veneer-panelled wall. Panels hide functional spaces such as the cellar, the cloak cupboard and the powder room. Timber veneer wraps around the kitchen area, where it disguises an everyday pantry, integrated refrigerator and freezer and access to the scullery. There are, of course, doors in every room, but their impact on the feel and function of the room is minimal. Full-height glass doors slide open to connect the main bedroom to the timber deck. Another door opens to the

walk-in wardrobe and study, which has a large day bed that can be concealed by a curtain. Thick opaque glass pivot doors open to the shower area of the en suite and also from the study to the entry hall. Designers work with angles all the time, and here some of the angles are extraordinary. On the battened eave line of the ground floor living/ dining and kitchen area, the disappearing angle provides protection from the sun and privacy. Lowline windows in the lounge area direct your line of sight to the swimming pool and landscaped garden below. Remote-controlled blinds are hidden in the cavity above the windows, preserving the streamlined look. The windows, which feature so prominently in this house, are double-glazed to allow high-level energy efficiency while allowing the interior to be constantly connected to the outside. \

Kew again proved its position as an ideal suburb for families with school-aged children. More than 50 people inspected this striking new house at its first open for inspection. “They commented on the quality of the finishes, the outstanding design, flexible floorplan on the lower level, clever use of space and the proximity to several schools,” said agent Robert Ding.

DON’T LET THE HYPE SCARE YOU OFF HOME OWNERSHIP might have YOU noticed the recent headlines

declaring that Australian houses are the world’s most overvalued. The source was an article in The Economist in early March, where a global strategist claimed that Australian home prices are overvalued by 56 per cent. The Economist’s article and disclaimers were fairly balanced – but we cannot say the same for the news stories coming from the article. They followed a long tradition of headline-grabbers predicting the end of the world – in terms of Melbourne house prices, anyway. The question is not whether or not this claim is true, although we do question the relevance of The Economist using a methodology based on comparing rents with home prices only and ignoring other factors such as immigration and supply. The fact is Melbourne house prices have dropped substantially in the past and sometimes stayed down for a long period of time, and could do again. No, for us, the real question is what should you, as a Melburnian home buyer, do with this piece of information? It is a bit like being told by scientists that a meteor might hit nearby in the next decade or so.

Do you fall in a heap and stop living now or perhaps phone your past boyfriend/ girlfriend to see if he/she wants to have one last fling together? Fact one: The Australian house market was

pounded by the GFC and prices dropped between 10 per cent and 25 per cent over six months in 2008. We remember it well – our company did not complete a home transaction in September 2008, and we are not a small outfit. Potential clients told us they were holding out because they feared bigger drops to come. Meanwhile, people were putting their houses up for sale, panicking that prices would fall further in 2009. Those falls never came, and the entire GFC losses were made up in that one year.

Fact two: If you bought in Toorak at the

height of the market in 1989, it took another seven years before you started to see meaningful improvement in your home values. So, yes, prices can fall and stay down for extended periods. But even if you knew, for sure, that house prices were going to fall substantially some time in the next 10 years, would your family be better off by not buying a family house now? If you’ve got kids, do you really want them to spend their formative years in

WHAT SHOULD YOU, AS A HOME BUYER, DO WITH THIS INFORMATION? and out of rental accommodation (with the chance that you might be asked to move on by a landlord with other plans) rather than growing up on solid foundations within a happy, stable family home? Accepting that prices could fall is an important part of the risk assessment and due diligence you need to carry out when making a purchase as big as a family house. It also points to the importance of choosing your property well so you can ignore any ups and downs along the way. So, if you’ve heard about houses being overvalued, go back and read the actual story in The Economist, assess the risk, and then think about these tried and true rules of house-buying risk management:

Buy a house that will grow with your family over the long term:

Purchase one that you can live in now, extend as the kids grow, and enjoy yourself or rent out as an investment later. A good option is a 1970s house on 750 square metres in a suburb 15 kilometres from the CBD, near trains, schools and shops, or a period home with a daggy reno but in a good locale closer in. Minimise your downside risk by focusing on land content-to-value ratios, not the glitz and glam.

Risk management is important:

Don’t borrow money on the assumption of future short-term growth – borrow reliant on your long-term income, with long-term capital growth your bonus. In life we have warnings on everything, be it house buying, stockmarket, relationships, health, driving and so on, but for us the big question is not their veracity but your sagacity in what you do with them.

Inaction does not bring you financial security:

Do not plan to rent long term. How many rich and happy 60-year-old long-term renters do you know? Sure, it’s different in Europe, but they have vastly different tenancy laws.

Everything about this property is crisp, from the perfectly manicured gardens to the ironbark parquetry flooring and the immaculate interiors. Minutes away from Camberwell Junction, this four-bedroom property would comfortably accommodate a family. A teenagers’ retreat upstairs features a living area and three bedrooms, two of which connect to the family bathroom. The main bedroom has a dual en suite and a walk-in wardrobe. A formal sitting area with a gas fireplace is off the entrance hall, as is the powder room. The open-plan meals/family/kitchen zone offers views of the swimming pool and gardens. Plenty of bench space and modern appliances create an A-grade kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to the outdoor area. An undercover deck looks over the pool, and there is also a cabana. Tucked away in a leafy pocket of Hawthorn East, near the tram that goes past some of Melbourne’s finest schools, this is a fantastic house in a superb location. \ TOM HYWOOD

Neo-Georgian architecture is one of the most popular housing styles in the eastern suburbs, and this Camberwell example ticks all the boxes for comfortable family life with its emphasis on luxury inside and low maintenance outside. Past the portico, the entrance hall opens to the formal living and dining room on one side and the first bedroom and bathroom on the other. In the family hub at the rear, European oak parquetry floors contrast with white emporite cabinets. The marble-topped benches, Miele appliances and walk-in pantry are pure luxury. Two sets of french doors open to a small back garden and lawn, with the outdoor entertainment area in a pavilion with its own kitchen. Four upstairs bedrooms are off a large rumpus room. The main bedroom, which occupies the entire width of the upper level, opens to a balcony. This bedroom features an all-marble en suite with an oval bath, marble vanity and a walk-in wardrobe. Two more marble bathrooms serve the other bedrooms. \ MARIA HARRIS

Set back on an elevated block, this is a classic 1970s L-shaped residence. Built around a large north-facing front garden, all rooms open up to the saltwater pool and gardens. Behind the secure entry is a porch draped in ornamental grapevines that leads to a paved outdoor dining area. The main bedroom, at the front, has a small adjoining study, a walk-through wardrobe and a dual-entry en suite. A large open-plan formal lounge has a log fireplace and leads to the original timber kitchen. The adjoining meals and family room also feature timber ceilings, cork flooring and shelving set around a log fireplace. A large laundry opens to a private and shaded courtyard with storeroom access, a vegie patch and a brick garage that could be separate accommodation. Four well-lit bedrooms – all with built-in cupboards – and two bathrooms are off the upstairs landing. This house also has underfloor hydronic heating and reverse-cycle air-conditioning. \ MICHELLE OSTROW ZUKERMAN

WHERE TO LIVE \

BY THE BAY

PORT MELBOURNE 4

RT EDGAR, 9699 7222 30/33 Johnston Street Price: $3.25 million + Expressions of Interest: Closing March 30 at 5pm

Life could be sweet at this Port Melbourne penthouse. Situated in the low-rise, five-storey Sugar building, it is only one block from the beach. The penthouse offers three living zones, four bedrooms, including a main bedroom suite, an open-plan kitchen, office, terrace and balconies, lap pool and views that stretch across Port Phillip Bay to the horizon. And those panoramic views should be there to stay, thanks to building-height restrictions on Beach Street. Now for the details. A large pivot door opens from a private lobby to the penthouse entry hall, where a custom-made fish tank, complete with tropical fish, is a feature and probably an instant conversation starter. Marble and glass are recurring themes. From the white Calacatta marble in the kitchen to great sweeps of marble in the en suite and bathrooms, this classic surface still looks a treat after 10 years. Full-height windows and large sliding glass doors help bring the views inside and create

a fantastic sense of space. A feature window in the dining room looks out to the lap pool along the side of the terrace, while two walls of the living room are glass. An open fireplace in the central dividing wall between living and dining rooms uses real wood, not a clicking device, to produce instant heat. The kitchen,with its Gaggenau appliances and practical layout, should make entertaining easy as it is very close to the dining and living rooms. The rear half of the penthouse is devoted to the bedrooms and bathrooms. Three bedrooms are ranged down the side of the property, with a marble bathroom opposite them. A large retreat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the third living area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; opens through sliding glass doors to a rear terrace. The main bedroom, entered through a white sliding door off the retreat, is self-contained and very private. It has a walk-in wardrobe tucked discreetly around a corner and marble en suite. \ MARIA HARRIS march 23, 2011 \ The weekly review 51

Every Saturday Gleadell Street in Richmond is closed off to traffic and quickly fills up with crowds of people coming to buy fresh produce from the variety of stalls. Straight from the farmers to you, the produce is so fresh it’s like you grew it in your own backyard. Choose from the delicious seasonal fruits, vegetables, herbs, fresh bread and fresh-cut flowers from 7am to 1pm. Come early (some stalls start setting up as early as 3am) to get the pick of the bunch, or if you want to save a dollar or two, come by at the end of the day for some incredible bargains. \

Imagine a place where you are surrounded by the latest collections from top Australian designers, towering high heels and beautiful jewellery, all under one roof – well, imagine no more; welcome to Green With Envy. If you’re trying to find that perfect dress for your friend’s wedding, or a gown for a black-tie event or even just casual basics such as jeans and a tee, you’ll find it all here. Showcasing the best local designers such as Thurley, sass & bide, Zimmermann, Ginger & Smart, Dion Lee and Magdalena Velevska to name a few, you are spoilt for choice in this one-stop-shop. \

In the hustle and bustle of busy Bridge Road, take refuge in this gorgeous fourth-generation Greek delicatessen and café. A guaranteed smile greets you from behind the counter, where you will find the best fresh cheeses, antipasto and homemade dips. What makes this deli stand out is the homemade meals, made on the premises each day. Whether you’re after a workday lunch or a ready-made meal to take home for dinner, the fresh lasagne, moussaka, bruschetta and delicious salads are the perfect options. And you simply can’t leave without a mini baklava. \

What’s better than a shop full of the latest-trend high heels, boots, ballet flats, sandals, and pumps? A shoe shop that stocks the latest trends but at a fraction of the cost. The Wittner Outlet is not like most discount stores, where you spend hours rummaging through stock from years ago to finally find the ones you like, but to discover they are both left shoes. This outlet has a mix of current Wittner stock and last season’s shoes, so they’re still on-trend yet you can grab them for a bargain price. And I guarantee, there’s definitely no need for rummaging here. \

With culinary know-how in their blood (father Elias owned Toorak’s M Bar), brothers Kael and Matt Sahely opened their first venture late last year, and it has already become a local favourite. The Sahelys have found the perfect mix: location (next to the Royal Saxon); a relaxed vibe; friendly staff; and, most importantly, a scrumptious menu with some of the best coffee in Melbourne. The raw beetroot salad, with apple, mint, feta and almonds is one of my top picks, or for something more hearty, you can’t go past the herb and parmesan-crusted chicken schnitzel with Italian fennel coleslaw. \

WHERE TO LIVE \ OUT OF TOWN Just off Sherbooke’s golden mile down a quiet country lane, behind magnificent entry gates, Rosefield Oak can rightly able to claim to be one of the Melbourne’s most exceptional city-fringe estates. Nestled on 0.8 of a hectare, the professionally landscaped grounds will impress with myriad trees, shrubs and themed gardens. From the moment you arrive you are aware that this is a property far from the ordinary. Box hedges frame the driveways, the delightful birch grove and wonderful array of established deciduous plants combine to provide a year-round kaleidoscope of colour – but many will regard the authentic Japanese tea house overlooking the serene water garden as the true pièce de résistance. The residence cleverly blends the grandeur of a country manor and a family-friendly design to provide the best in contemporary living. It has an impressive entry foyer, four generous bedrooms including superb main suite overlooking the garden, two bathrooms plus downstairs powder room, office/study, formal and casual living areas and a stunning kitchen. The craftsmanship, with the combination of stone, copper and feature timbers, creates a timeless ambience, taking full advantage of the setting with glorious gardens aspects to be enjoyed from virtually every window. And the in-ground pool will undoubtedly be the focus during summer. The property is a short walk to Sherbrooke Village and near neighbours, including renowned properties uch as Burnham Beeches, Alfred Nicholas Gardens, George Tindale Memorial Gardens and, of course, the magnificent Sherbrooke Forest. In such idyllic surrounds, it’s easy to forget that Melbourne is a comfortable drive of less than an hour. \
