PERFECT MATCHA Matcha means green tea, and the finest version is said to come from Japan’s Shizuoka prefecture. South Melbourne’s latest secret, takeaway joint Kuu (“eat” in Japanese), serves a not-too-strong version of this heart-warming brew. Barista Makoto Tsuji makes the syrup with Shizuoka green tea powder, honey and sugar in hot water. It’s in line with Kuu’s culinary philosophy: modern home-made cuisine that’s healthy and balanced. Also try the agedashi tofu, grilled chicken, taco lunch set, yummy salads and green tea desserts. ● » Matcha Latte, regular $4, large, $5, from Kuu, 190 Park Street, South Melbourne, 9686 0819

hen you think about it, footy is a funny W way to earn a living. The AFL drafts its young stars, often straight out of high school,
and thrusts them into a life of great adulation and wealth, where they constantly hear how great they are, but seldom hear the word “no”. Spoilt like children, but expected to behave as adults, it’s little wonder some buckle under the pressure, ending up in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Some of these young men, however, react differently to the hero hype that surrounds them – they actually step up to become the great men we so want them to be. Adam Goodes is one such giant of the game. Another is Chris Judd. For 14 years, he impressed as one of footy’s great leaders, a man of integrity and intelligence, wise beyond his years. His retirement, following a career ending knee injury, is a loss to the game. So what next for the Carlton great? In his first in-depth interview since quitting footy he tells Peter Wilmoth about his plans. Read his story inside. ●

B
ack in the day, in the Glorious Golden Age of Entitlement, a famous reporter in my newspaper office was known to have a very special stash in his bottom drawer. It was a collection of different receipt books, and apparently all he needed was a nod and a wink and he could dash you off a receipt, in a different hand every time, for whatever amount you thought you could get away with. A lunch here, a dinner there, a pile of stationery over there. Cash back in hand, courtesy of Mahogany Row, every time. I say apparently because I can tell you, hand on heart, I never availed myself of his services. But I can also honestly say that this fraud (and yes, it was fraud) was also widely known and, as far as I could tell, uncondemned. It just went with the territory of the particular mindset of a particular group of employees: journalists. We were – are – a rather resentful, whiny bunch with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement. We never believed we were paid what we deserved and therefore anything we could get away with was, well … deserved.
I’ve been thinking about this sense of entitlement recently as we ponder the rolling fallout, like a dust cloud coming out of the desert, from the Bronwyn Bishop travel claim scandal. I can well imagine that politicians feel something like the grumbling, unappreciated journalists I worked with. Journalists are really very well-paid, compared with the average Australian salary. But the imposition on a politician’s time and life, the long working hours, the late nights and weekends, the local constituent duties, the travel, the intrusion into private life, the public opprobrium – what kind of salary could ever compensate for that? The average backbencher earns $195,130, the PM gets slightly more than $500,000 and, as it has often been said, both would clearly get a hell of a lot more working in the private sector. But what has all this to do with claiming travel expenses, and in some cases doing so extravagantly? I don’t think you can begin to understand the mindset of the over-claiming politician until you realise that some – not all, but some – politicians must live in a cloud of resentment similar to that of my journalist colleagues: believing they are underpaid, deserve more, and will push the system as hard as they can to get what they are due. Some pollies have even gone on the record with their complaint – remember Tony

“politicians must live in a cloud of resentment” Abbott when he went from ministry to opposition, bemoaning that paying off his mortgage would now be very hard. I’m not defending them. None of them. The Bishop saga was mind-boggling in its extravagance; the Tony Burke story, while
within the rules, seems to me to smack of a similar sense of entitlement. Sure, bring the kids with you if you have to work while they’re on school holidays – but do they all have to fly business class? (Apparently the rules allow for “family traveller” airfares, which is astonishing to me: why should the taxpayer foot travel bills that any other parent would have to cover for a school holiday?) Maybe this little entitlement will be included in the review of the system. After the dust cloud of expense scandals settles – and I fear we are a long way from being done – I think what will remain is an unsettling film of hypocrisy clinging to everyone: those who have been crowing with righteousness, those who have been pointing the finger in retaliation, and those of us watching from sidelines who swipe the odd packet of photocopying paper from work. No matter what the Treasurer says, the Age of Entitlement endures. ● Virginia Trioli is co-host of ABC News Breakfast on ABC1 and ABC News 24, 6-9am weekdays

Hampton’s Sally Hepworth, 35, has made becoming an internationally published author look easy. The go-getter mother-of-two (Oscar, 6, and Eloise, 3) last year secured a three-book deal worth almost $700,000, with book sales in the US (St Martin’s Press), the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The Secrets of Midwives, was released in Australia by Pan Macmillan earlier this year.

(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)
What’s the buzz? A first print run of 75,000 in the US isn’t bad when you consider 3000-to-5000 copies is usual for an Australian debut. Auspiciously, The Secrets of Midwives was endorsed by popular author Liane Moriarty (The The Husband’s Secret Secret), a New York Times bestselling author. In the beginning … Sally still has the collection of short stories, Mustard and Ink, she wrote aged seven. The former Loreto Mandeville Hall student flirted with the idea of studying journalism, but instead enrolled in arts at Monash University, wrote the occasional article for the student newspaper and pursued a career in event management and HR. She began writing her first novel Love Like the French while on maternity leave with Oscar and living in Canada. “I thought I’d need to do something with all my spare time,” she laughs. Back in Melbourne six months later, she
sought literary representation with Rob Weisbach Creative Management in New York. Disappointed when her first book languished unsold, it was a blow when her second, The Good Guys, was rejected. But she kept writing. The big break … It all happened when staff changes at her literary agency prompted the owner Rob Weisbach to personally represent her. By then she’d written another book. He sold the rights to Love Like The French into Germany, then secured a three-book deal for The Secrets of Midwives Where to now? Sally’s follow up, The Things We Keep, is due for release next January and her next book is a work in progress. “I just hope I get a chance to develop a readership so I can keep writing for a career,” says Sally. The best part about success? “Being able to write full-time and not having to work as well.” If I could do it all again … “I think all the mistakes were necessary. You learn how to write a book by writing.” ● CLARE KENNEDY ckennedy@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.sallyhepworthauthor.com

AUGUST 12, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 9
C
hris Judd is giving me a lift home. Driving through commuter traffic in South Melbourne and St Kilda, he looks as comfortable in an elegant and sharply fitted blue suit as he did for 14 years in a football jumper. As he guides the top-of-the-range Hyundai (complete with baby seat) down Kings Way, we talk about how it feels to be unshackled from the rigours of AFL football. One of the big changes post retirement is that he now gets weekends off. “I finished school, then got drafted and I’ve been working weekends ever since,” he says. “I’ve never been an adult and had my weekends off.” Aside from his role in helping choose the next Carlton coach, Chris has no plans for involvement in football. “Not at this stage. Football really controlled my life for 14 years. To have that space where it no longer does has been really refreshing. I look forward to maybe coaching Oscar’s team one day.” Oscar, his son, is four and daughter Billie is 18 months old, keeping him and his wife Rebecca busy. On the day Chris retired, he told Oscar he was going to stop playing football. Oscar suggested his father should take up soccer instead. “He did ask me this morning if I was going to play footy again when I was better.” Fatherhood? “Magic,” Chris says. “Love it. Oscar loves footy. Loves Nic Nat (charismatic Eagles ruckman Nic Naitanui). Watches Nic Nat highlights on YouTube. And why wouldn’t you if you were a kid? So we have to watch Nic Nat highlights most nights.” On June 6 at the MCG, Chris landed awkwardly from a marking contest and felt his anterior cruciate ligament snap. At that moment he knew his career – first with the West Coast Eagles and then for the past eight years with Carlton – was over. “It was an interesting sort of a day. My footy career was coming to an end sooner rather than later anyway. It was a pretty swift end.” There were lots of emotions, he says, among them relief and excitement. “Relief that I didn’t have to put myself through playing footy any more because that was becoming a real struggle … There was excitement about the opportunity to do new things, fear about what’s going to come next.” Articulate, thoughtful and endearingly self-effacing in the midst of 14 years of adulation, he need not have too much fear of the future. To be in his company is to understand why Chris in retirement was a magnet for corporate Australia; he’d be able to write his own ticket. When we meet he is just two weeks into his first post-football role, with the socially conscious St Kilda-based Impact Investment Group. It invests in projects that have a positive impact environmentally or socially – called “responsible investing”. With his strong social conscience, Chris is gratified to be working in this area. “It’s an interesting field and a growing issue. From a commercial standpoint, more and more companies are conscious of the impact they’re having on the environment around them. “I think it’s exciting to not have to separate the commercial side of it with the environment. When I first started getting interested in things like climate change, I used to go to talks and speak to people, and I started to get a bit frustrated with the lack of balance in people’s views on the issue. They’d criticise mining, then pull out their iPhone, which uses lithium and rare earth elements and various other minerals that have all been

mined, then hop into their car or train, which is made of steel … So to be with people who have that hard-headed commercial side to their thinking but want to combine it with the social and environmental impact, I found really appealing.” He had been pondering life after footy for a while. “I thought I’d launch into doing something entrepreneurial straight away. But speaking to a few people, the idea of getting a bit more of a grounding in business … made sense. The difference between business and football is potentially a 40- or 50-year career span versus 10-12. In my case I was lucky enough for it to last 14 years. I feel I have the time to learn about stuff, think about things, meet lots of interesting people, and then see where the future lies.” Did he consider taking some time off? “Initially I thought I’d take the rest of the year off, but I just started getting bored. It’s seven

Once the bulk of (the book) was done, I wanted to get stuck into things. Sometimes not knowing what you’re going to do can become a source of anxiety because the longer it goes on the more uncertain you feel your future becomes. “I didn’t just jump at the first opportunity that arose. But I felt that because it was such a good fit, it made sense to get in there and have a crack.”

he AFL left Chris with a huge public profile and a reputation as a supremely gifted player and highly decent man. But there was also a huge cost. Chris had his first shoulder reconstruction at 16, and the second at 17. “In my last season I was sleeping in a shoulder brace to restrict movement because sometimes I’d wake up and my shoulder would be out of its socket.“So when you can’t even get through a night’s sleep without potentially hurting your shoulder, that’s a pretty good clue that it’s time to wind it up. “I was finding that aspect of footy more and more stressful. But I was also sad that footy was over. It had been a big part of my life. It was almost an all-consuming passion from the age of four or five.” But he’s reluctant to complain. “Footy’s a hard one. You are in such a privileged position that whenever you complain about anything you come across as a whinger, and I can understand that completely.
“If I was working in a low-paying job, working really hard in a job that I hated with remuneration I found unsatisfying, I fully understand how annoying it would be if someone in a privileged position who’s paid well and doing something they’re passionate about complains. So I’m always cautious to catch myself talking about the challenges.” His final year at Carlton, in which the team was unsuccessful on the field and coach Mick Malthouse was sacked, was tough. “It was a very challenging year, not just for the players but for pretty much everybody at the club. Mick was an icon of the game and a great coach. No one looks to sack someone like that with glee. It was incredibly challenging for Mick. And there was a great deal of support from the playing group and myself for him. “There’s always a feeling of discomfort that you’ve been responsible for the sadness you’ve inflicted on one of the game’s great coaches.” Chris grew up in Sandringham, went to Caulfield Grammar and in 2001 was drafted to the West Coast Eagles, where he went on to win the first of his two Brownlow Medals (2004) and a premiership (2006). He was captain of the Eagles during a period when the club was beset with a culture of poor behaviour by senior players, notably former captain Ben Ben Cousins. I asked Chris whether his decision to return to Melbourne to join Carlton in 2007 had anything to do with escaping that bad-boy culture. “It was purely to come back and live in Melbourne. I missed home … being able to have a life outside football. Everyone I knew

in Perth was connected to the footy club and they were great people. I’d train, I’d play, I’d see them socially and that was all fine. But it was very hard to feel like you were building a life that had more to it than just football. “I also recognised that if I had stayed in Perth until my footy career was over, it’s very hard then to pack up and come home to Melbourne, because all your networks would have been in Perth, you might have started a small business, you might have kids.” I ask him whether that culture disturbed him. “It’s a bit of a shame that whole period really gets summarised by [reports of] drug issues or some of the other behavioral things that the players were doing. [There was] some poor behaviour. People getting arrested for assaults. You’ve read the stories as have I. But on a list of 45 people it was probably five or six who had been in the headlines for those reasons. Five or six is unacceptable but it’s 40 guys that are living a respectable existence. “To the outside looking in, it looks like you’ve got 45 players charging around the state committing all sorts of crimes. The fact is there were a small number who were. As captain I’m happy to wear some of that responsibility, but probably not as much as people try and apportion to me.” Meanwhile, Chris says he is recovering well from a knee reconstruction. It’s the bad shoulder that will have more impact on his life after footy. “Very degenerative,” he says. “There is no cartilage in my shoulders. They get sore and are very arthritic.” It means golf, tennis and swimming are all impossible. I thank Chris for the lift. I have to ask: how does he feel being part of Melbourne’s famous glamour couple? “I think Bec’s the glamour part of the glamour couple,” he says with a smile. “Her profile will stay pretty high … I don’t think my profile will remain as strong and that’s something I’m looking forward to.” For Chris Judd, at 31, there’s that and much more to look forward to. ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au
Chris Judd on
His football career … I played my best footy at the age of 23, and that was also the year I played in a premiership. So for the past nine years of my footy career, I’ve been on a declining path. The main reason is age and that’s a battle that you just cannot win. So it’s nice to go into a phase where you’re on that steep growth curve again and learning lots of things. The booing of Adam Goodes … I know Adam pretty well and really like him. It’s clear he’s going through some challenging times. I really feel for him. I don’t know what the best approach is to try and stop it. I’m cognisant of the fact that people really don’t like to be told how to act. But I know that when I go to the footy, I won’t be booing Adam Goodes and neither will my kids or anyone I’ve gone with. ●

den bounty that arrives on our table deserves a clash of cymbals. Ditto the cauliflower fried “rice” with spanner crab and a seasonal capping of shaved black truffle. The blitzed cloud of cauliflower comes delicately fried and topped with crisp-fried tendrils of carrot. I’m still not making it sound as good as it was. Much like the name, Anchovy, doesn’t really do justice to the sublety and flair of the food coming out of the kitchen at this three-month-old restaurant. Anchovy announces itself as: “Modern Australian. Modern Asian. A little bit in between.” It’s an apt description, though I could easily add a few superlatives. Chef Thi Le, who co-owns the place with partner Jia-Yen Lee, has just five years professional cooking under her belt, although the notches include stints at such notable restaurants as Universal in Sydney, and Cumulus Inc, Supernormal, Town Mouse and Luxembourg in Melbourne. Le’s cooking shows both a Vietnamese lightness of hand and flashes of brilliance gained at the heels of Christine Manfield and Andrew McConnell.

an you name the wine region where it’s illegal for a UFO to land? After a panic set in following the sighting of a cigar-shaped UFO in the north of France, the mayor of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in south-eastern France, rushed to bring in a law to protect the region’s revered vineyards. It stems back to a night in September 1954 when Marius Dewilde claims to have seen “Martian visitors” (words from a New York Times dispatch, not mine), wearing outfits similar to deep-sea divers, who paralysed him with a green light beam. More sightings of these cigar-shaped UFOs were reported and France went into a paranoid frenzy. The mayor of the Châteauneuf district, Lucien Jeune introduced a law banning any UFOs from landing. The law states: “The overflight, the landing and the takeoff of aircraft known as flying saucers or flying cigars, whatever their nationality is, are prohibited on the territory of the community.” Fear of flying cigars isn’t the only time

wacky wine laws have been introduced and some still stand. It is illegal to serve wine in teacups in Kansas, and in Utah it is illegal to swallow wine served at tastings. An unusual, but appropriate, wine law is that wine labelled as from Orange in NSW must be made from grapes grown at above 600 metres around Mount Canobolas. The cooler climate of the high altitude helps produce wines of elegance and structure. ● BEN THOMAS bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au
Made from 60% shiraz and 40% grenache, the 2009 Delas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Haute Pierre ($65) is earthy and rich, with raisin and dark fruit and red berry flavours and aromas. It’s nicely structured, too: bright and light on the tongue with depth and complexity. 94/100

As a grape, cabernet franc mostly gets tipped into blends. But when grown in the right place, such as Orange in New South Wales, it can be a star in its own right. Ross Hill’s 2011 ($40) has even blackcurrant and mulberry, spice and a hint of bay leaf flavours that build to a long finish. 93/100

I
’m supposed to be talking to Nadine Garner about her new role in MTC’s The Weir, an award-winning play by Irish playwright Conor McPherson. In it, Nadine plays a big-city woman who, fleeing a personal crisis, walks into a small-town pub. It sounds fascinating and Nadine is passionate, but I can’t help asking about an acting gig from 30 years ago. For people of a certain age, Nadine will always be half of children’s TV classic The Henderson Kids. It seems I’m not the first to raise the subject. “It’s completely delightful that response is still there,” Nadine says. “I think there’s a time in your life, when you’re forming your sense of self, that a character can really hit home and become a blueprint for something meaningful. It’s not like it haunts me; in no way do I feel I’ve never been able to move on from it. Quite the opposite. It was a wonderful entry point for me.” Just as that TV show gave Nadine an entry to screen acting, MTC gave the actor her first stage role, way back in 1987. The Weir makes twice in as many years that Nadine has worked for the company, after an acclaimed turn in a lavish take
on Noël Coward’s Private Lives. She says the two productions couldn’t be more different. “Private Lives was high entertainment and quite arch. This is the opposite. It’s naturalistic, it’s very pared back, it’s filmic. I’m enjoying that.” She’s also enjoying the challenges that come with tackling such a wordy piece. “In this day and age, where our attention spans seem to be shrinking, you do have the anxiety of performing something where there’s no set changes, no revolves, no costume changes. It’s just human interaction.” Nadine says the play’s stripped-back approach gets to the heart of what makes good theatre. “I think it’s a deeply moving, provocative piece, which takes a very intimate look at being human. The theatre’s job is to provoke us and make us feel something and maybe relate to the world with a little more courage. This is an important piece for that.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au » The Weir runs August 14-September 26 at Arts Centre Melbourne, Fairfax Studio, tickets $36-$109. www.mtc.com.au

Oscar Isaacs stars as Nick Wasicsko, America’s youngest big city mayor in this new Home Box Office show from David Simon (creator of The Wire). Based on real-life events, the six-part series shows Nick swamped by a bitter struggle over building community housing in 1980s Yonkers. It feels a timely piece, playing as it does on the tensions between a powerful white elite and their deprived, black would-be-neighbours. Issacs is sensational as the decent, but doomed mayor. ●

Escape comes in the form of a brash and bolshy girl gang, who take Marieme under their flash wings. Touré is luminous, expertly balancing innocence and guile.

Not so much steam punk as clockwork punk, this intriguing debut should appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman and China Miéville. Thaniel is a government clerk, working for Britain’s Home Office in 1887. Saved from a terrorist bomb by a mysterious watch, he is drawn into a fantastical, time-bending world.

racist or aggressive acts is a different matter entirely because that behaviour is illegal, but I wonder if the smartphone’s recent success at providing evidence in such cases means everyone is a bit more prepared to push the video button whenever they’re out and about. Which reminds me of something that came up on my feed recently, where two sisters at a US baseball game photographed and posted the private messages a woman seated in front of them was sharing with her alleged lover, unbeknown to her husband who was seated beside her. They thought it was their right to “expose the cheating hoes”.

ast week after an incident on the street that involved me using a shouty voice because my child was behaving badly, I realised I might be suffering from a new kind of fear. Fear of going viral. It came on in much the same way that an actual virus does, in a creeping-all-over, hot and sweaty kind of feeling, which took hold the moment it occurred to me that someone could have filmed my less-than-perfect parenting moment and might right now be sharing it online. Soon, I imagined, I’ll be achieving giddy heights of notoriety as the ‘‘crazed woman yelling at her child at the market; you won’t believe what she does next’’. It’s the second time I’ve suffered from the “fear of going viral” infliction. The first came after I squawked at a young drunk thing who jumped ahead of me late at night in a very long taxi queue. I wasn’t at my loveliest because it was past midnight and I really needed to get home to the babysitter, but the next morning I faced the cold light of day with that same all-pervading feeling of fear
and dread, because that taxi rank was covered with millennials and we all know they are a dab hand with social media and pretty good at calling out grumpy old people. You could call this thing paranoia or fear of being publicly shamed, and I reckon you’d be somewhere near right on both counts, and with good reason, because there are no laws that stop people from taking a video of you in a public place and posting it online. So, everyday people doing stuff that isn’t fabulously terrific but part of life – like disciplining a child or calling out a rude waiter or falling over on the street and exposing your knickers – is now up for
meme grabs. There’s nothing to stop anyone from capturing it, posting it, and the world following up with their own take on whether or not they think you’re hot, arrogant, or a really bad parent. Go to Walmart wearing nothing but a skirt pulled up over your boobs and you’ll soon find out what I’m talking about. Your bad day can quickly become someone else’s hysterical breakfast meme. Clearly the lady who pulled her skirt up high because she’d forgotten to wear a top hadn’t aspired to hit the internet that day, so why did someone think they had the right to do it for her? People being captured and exposed for
Anyway … We are all everybody’s business now. We are judge and jury to everyone, Big Brother to ourselves and the person next to us on the train or at the sporting stadium. And this is what we need to consider every time we leave the house. Scary thought. ● khall@theweeklyreview.com.au

(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)
Steph Prem was a Winter Olympian (Vancouver 2010 snowboard cross team) before injury set her on another path. After years of rehabilitation and starting a women’s outdoor fitness group, Steph opened her own complete heath and fitness space, Studio PP, last year. South Yarra was a natural choice for her business as Steph believes it is Melbourne’s healthy hub, where locals take a particularly keen interest in their health and well-being. Head online this week to check out Steph’s first fitness column for The Weekly Review Review.
For a sneaky takeaway? Hunky Dory is my absolute go-to for healthy fish and chips. For some serious pampering? When I really need to indulge, there’s no place more relaxing than the Norbu Urban Retreat at The Olsen. My preferred treatment is a deep tissue massage, followed by the infrared sauna for detoxification and then a refreshing dip in the glass pool to finish it off. For everyday personal pampering, I adore Carmen the Eyebrow Queen and the Poodle Blow Dry Bar.
Where do you go for the best breakfast ? After a busy week, I absolutely love an extended brunch at one of my favourite spots, Two Birds One Stone, for its cosy booths, or Tall Timber to enjoy the sunny courtyard.
For a pick-me-up when I’m feeling blue? There’s nothing better than a sweet treat from Adriano Zumbo to cheer me up or quell a sugar craving (it’s lucky I work in fitness).
When friends come from out of town? I love taking friends to Chapel Street institution Mr Miyagi for the nigiri and sashimi combo plates, then it’s through the cool-room door at Boston Sub for a cocktail at the speakeasy-style bar.
For the best juice or smoothie? I’m very passionate about all things healthy so can’t go past a visit to the Green Street Juice Co for a delicious cold-pressed juice: the “easy being green” is my choice for its anti-inflammatory properties. ●

GIVE IT A GO MANKIND DOES IT FOR HARI RAJ
MANKIND
The promise Even if you’re used to primping and preening, there’s a tendency to let beards grow and other things go, as you bundle up for winter. Enter Mankind, which offers a range of treatments and packages for the maintenance of the discerning man, whether he needs a little touch-up or some major TLC. The reality I’ve booked in for a beard trim and a facial, my first time for both. Barber Steve comes highly recommended; he’s just had someone come from Sydney for a session with him. His tattoos include a pair of scissors on his neck, far more reassuring than it sounds. Steve also loves a chat, and soon has me sold on the benefits of beard oil – it’s not actually for the beard, but for the skin hidden beneath. For the facial, Bridget patiently explains each step, customising treatments for my (dehydrated) skin. She then applies a face mask all the way up my gleaming pate, dispenses a very welcome neck and scalp massage, and swaddles me in hot towels and subtly fragrant moisturiser. I emerge from this cocoon ready to spread my wings. 18 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ AUGUST 12, 2015
The pay-off The possums and magpies previously residing in my facial hair have been evicted, my skin is glowing, and I’m almost ready to plunge back into the working week. I’ve worn a beard for five years and this is the best it’s looked. The pain factor A session at Mankind’s first Melbourne branch was quite luxurious, actually. Who should do it? Anyone who has been peppering their conversation with the word “rejuvenation”, or needs their outer glow to match the inner one. The bill The beard trim was $25, the express facial $75.
WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?
Definitely. Even dazzling natural beauty such as mine can sometimes use a helping hand. ● Mankind 127 Toorak Road, South Yarra 9042 4722 www.mankind.com.au

T C E J O R PASSION P W
hen Vicky Zhou was at school, she was interested in medicine, veterinary science, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and even accounting. Luckily for her Methodist Ladies’ College students, she was destined to teach. As a child, Vicky was a talented all-rounder who enjoyed all aspects of learning. She excelled in most subjects, was good at sport and a gifted artist. Teaching was also in her blood, but she didn’t know it yet. “I had a really good connection with my art teacher in primary school,” she says. “She would let me run mini classes every now and then … I kind of helped her as an assistant.” At home, Vicky set up a pretend classroom, complete with its own curriculum. “I would play school with my sister,” she says. “I’d make her sit there for my class. I had my curriculum, I had my set timetable – I pre-planned everything.” But Vicky didn’t realise she was a natural teacher until much later. At the time she thought all children played like this. “I would never have picked me to be a teacher,” she says. “I was always the kind of kid who would be red-faced in front of an oral presentation. I was a sporty kid. I was a short-distance sprinter.” Whether it was sport or school work, Vicky participated enthusiastically and was encouraged by her parents, Li and Jian, who migrated from China in the 1980s. The couple met in the town of Guangzhou, where they ran a small business that mainly designed and produced clothing. After moving to Melbourne, they worked in several jobs and produced clothes for local retailers. Vicky, now 24, was born in Melbourne, followed by Jacky, 19, who is studying engineering, and Jordon, 10. The family lived in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs and Vicky attended several government schools, where she tried a bit of everything. In primary school she played a range of sports, including hockey and basketball. Animals were another focal point and Vicky talked her parents into having fish, mice, yabbies and even eels. They had a dog at one stage and now have a cat, Kitty McSchmitty. When she started high school Vicky was still shy but blossomed to become a house captain in year 12. Inspired by her parents’ work with fabrics and garments, she expressed her creativity and artistic side by organising fashion shows.
20 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ AUGUST 12, 2015
LEARN \ Vicky Zhou could have been anything but chose teaching, writes CHERYL CRITCHLEY In year 12, Vicky studied chemistry, biology, maths methods, further maths, accounting and English. With so many talents, choosing a career was never going to be easy. “The most annoying question I received in high school was, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and ‘What do you want to study after school?’,” she says. Not wanting to be tied to one idea, Vicky explored as many avenues as she could. Among other things, she considered medicine, physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational health and accounting. Vicky organised extra work experience in a range of fields and turned up at a local veterinarian’s office and local schools to volunteer. “I just tried to get my hands on as many work-experience situations as possible,” she says.
As a graduate teacher, Vicky was supported in her first year by colleagues and mentored by International Baccalaureate co-ordinator Suzanne Jack and then Anne-Marie. They helped her complete her registration papers and ensured she understood school procedures and expectations. Vicky appreciated the support but didn’t need much prompting in the classroom.

their classroom teacher, home room teacher, support staff and classmates. If a student is out of sorts, someone will notice and act. “It’s just so holistic,” she says. “It covers everyone.” Teachers must also look after themselves and Vicky does her best to find that elusive balance. In her spare time she plays futsal, a type of indoor soccer, and paints bold abstract paintings. Producing something special on canvas helps her to relax and contemplate. “When I do paint it’s based on the current mood I’m feeling, so when I look back on it I realise that mood and how I progressed from that,” she says. As a home-room teacher, Vicky works to ensure her students are well placed to reach their potential in and out of the classroom. Sometimes she takes them to play sport in the gym to help them bond and relax. “I’ve always talked about being a family,” she says. Vicky does not want students to feel too much pressure to achieve the perfect ATAR. She tells them that they are not defined by their ATAR and can succeed in life regardless of which school they attended. For example, a friend of Vicky’s didn’t score enough to study law, so she worked her way into it through another course. It also helps having teachers as dedicated as Vicky and her fellow MLC staff members. On that score, she insists her colleagues are just as determined as she is to support students and find the best possible teaching methods and programs. “That’s the culture of MLC,” she says. “We’re constantly trying to find innovative new techniques and whatever’s new out there. “I’ve never been around so many passionate people.” ● ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.mlc.vic.edu.au

I can’t live without … Water. But I love art, I love creating things. I like to play the violin as well.
I couldn’t live without … Probably my family, but I loved reading and I loved my books. I remember very clearly my bookcases with my series of books lined up.

MOTORING
W
hen the lane marking on the road switches from white to yellow, you have entered the alpine zone. If you’re travelling in one of the many kinds of SUVs with all-wheel-drive that are so popular today, you might think the car will do all the work as you both adjust from dry highways to icy bends. All-wheel-drive means the power of the engine is distributed across all four wheels, giving the vehicle twice the grip for cornering and greater control. But novice drivers in the mountains might find an anti-lock braking system and the road grip of a sure-footed all-wheel-drive vehicle are no match for a patch of sneaky black ice on a shady bend. To help educate drivers in the snow and reduce the number of incidents on alpine roads, Falls Creek Resort Management has created a new role in its team this year. New snow services supervisor Geoff Sorensen has lived and worked “in the hills” for more than 30 years and has noticed a big change in the types of vehicle in the village car park. “There are a lot of all-wheel-drives around now, but they are not four-wheel-drive,” he says. “Even with ABS (anti-lock brake system), if they come to a corner a little too hot, they can end up in the bank. They need to drive with care in the snow.” Diesel’s economy makes it an increasingly popular choice among SUV drivers but
drivers must fill up with an alpine diesel mix if they’re heading to the snow, Geoff says. Regular diesel coagulates when the temperature drops a few degrees below zero, and the engine won’t start. Drivers should fill up with alpine diesel mix at a service station in a town on the way to the mountains as the resorts don’t have public service stations. RACV vehicle engineering manager Michael Case says the best-performing car in snow conditions is one that is well-maintained and has tyres in good condition. “Motorists travelling to the snow should also carry snow chains and be familiar with how to use them,” he says. Many SUV vehicles on the market, including these, have features to aid an alpine journey.
S M A L L FA M I LY The four-wheel-drive Bose Premium version of Renault’s Koleos comes with a swag of snow-friendly extras, including hill-start assist and hill-descent control functions for grip on slippery slopes, and bi-xenon headlights (with washers) that follow the curve of winding roads. For driver comfort, the Premium Koleos has heated leather front seats and a quality Bose system, for which it is named – handy for easing the boredom of the Hume Highway.

The cost is $41,800 drive away, with snow chains to suit an extra $322.
L A RG E FA M I LY Audi’s largest SUV, the Q7, has generous cargo space with three rows of seating that adjust to fold flat where required – the middle seats fold flat for skis. Seat heating
in the front and rear keeps the family snug. Audi’s Quattro four-wheel-drive system gives the Q7’s wheels the edge of a finely tuned ski on snowy highways and there is a V6 turbo-diesel engine and 100-litre fuel tank. Savvy buyers can pick up a good deal on the current Audi Q7 ($101,635 drive away) as the second-generation Q7 (more compact, less body weight) arrives later this year.

PERSONAL SPACE AT H O M E W I T H …
NATALIE BLOOM N
atalie Bloom was barely into her 20s when she launched her cosmetics business, in 1993. She had grown tired of her day job, designing packaging for soaps and shampoos, and launched Bloom using $2000 to produce a candle-making kit. Myer swiftly ordered 5000 kits. “My sister, mum, dad and I spent two weeks at my parents’ dining table, packing wax paper, wicks and vials of eucalyptus oil,” Natalie laughs. From there she developed lipgloss and shimmer body gel and the Bloom range grew to 500 products. Recently she pared back her range and is focusing on Bloom’s online presence. “It means I have to work less hours, which was
my objective as my family grew,” she says. Natalie and her husband Brian Hamersfeld have four children – Chloe, 12, Amber, 11, Zac, nine and, Ben, three. They share a two-storey home, built in 1908, which overlooks the Yarra. It’s filled with artworks and furnishings that are part contemporary, part classic and part vintage. “Originally the house had lots of small rooms so we opened up the spaces but kept some original features like the staircase balustrade and some stained-glass windows,” Natalie says. “We’ve lived here for 15 years and it’s very much a family home.” ● SARAH MARINOS smarinos@theweeklyreview.com.au
We lost our son, Justin, who was Amber’s twin, to SIDS, in November 2004. After that I spent some time painting with Mirka Mora and during that year she was working on this painting that hangs in our hallway. She called it Family and about six months later Mirka had an exhibition and told me the painting was actually of our family. It reminds me of that time with her.
CANDLESTICKS These Georg eorg Jensen candlesticks were a gift from my grandmother for our wedding in March 1999. Every Friday night we have dinner – Shabbat – and I light these. We are not religious but it is the one Jewish cultural event we do as a family. We light candles and have the special plaited bread on a special plate with traditional wine cups. My kids love the tradition.
NECKLACE My grandmother gave me this necklace in the early 1990s because she knew I loved it. It’s sterling silver and designed by Astrid Fog and was designed in 1971. For a long time I had never seen anyone else with it but I recently saw another woman wearing it. She worked at Georg Jensen and said the company might be thinking of making it again. ●

My favourite thing
I found these Helena Rubinstein autobiographies in the basement of a second-hand bookshop in New York. I’d just started Bloom and she was a role model and inspiration for me. She has Jewish heritage, started her business in Melbourne and was way ahead of her time. She writes about healthy eating, yoga and the art of feminine beauty. I love these books.
ART WORK
BUBBLE CHAIR
I hadn’t drawn since leaving school but wanted to do it again. I saw an article in a newspaper about a botanical art course in the Royal Botanic Gardens and did a couple of terms. I go to a weekly class – and I’m obsessed. I love gardens, plants and nature, and feel like leaves and flowers are art in themselves.
This chair is more Brian’s style – he likes things that are quirky. It’s a bubble chair and was designed by Eero Aarnio in 1968. We bought it in a shop in the city when we bought this house. The kids love it. I think about sitting in there but never get the time. AUGUST 12, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 27

Setting the scene
The house is filled with smoke and steam. Smoke from the green wood in the stove and in the lounge fireplace, steam from the buckets of water my father carried in from the copper to the bath.
WHERE I GREW UP
JOHN WOOD A
WHERE’S MY HORSE? We were absolutely besotted with cowboy and Indian films and playing cowboys and Indians. This photo was taken by my mum. The wagons are circled around Glenys and Kay and my brother Ian seems to be having it both ways as cowboy and Indian (John, tallest with hat).
s a star of Australian stage and screen John Wood has experienced a life rich in drama, but none so hair-raising as the moment his youngest sister went flying out of the family car. “I would have been about 12, I guess,” says John. “We were driving along in a Morris which had suicide doors that opened toward the back of the car. It was always four kids across the back seat, no seat belts, of course, and my little sister Kay decided she was going to stick her hand out the window and opened the door instead. She got flung out onto the road and we were all screaming at dad, ‘Stop!’ “I just have this vision of seeing her through the back window getting up off the ground and then running with her arms outstretched like some cartoon character.” Born to Nancy and Les Wood in the 1946 baby boom, John was soon joined by brother Ian and sisters Glenys and Kay. “We lived in Diana Street, Croydon. It was a very ordinary fibro house. The wood stove was always smoking and I remember waking up every morning to the smell of burning toast. “Mum’s mother died when she was 11 and she was taken out of school to look after her
father and two brothers. She never ever really learned to cook, and when my father, who had been a prisoner of war, came home he had terrible stomach ulcers and she was advised to cook all his food to death, so it was grey, falling- apart cauliflower. “We were very poor and were all pretty conscientious at school because I think we understood what a difficult thing it was to get us educated. Dad worked in cold storage at the abattoirs and the meat workers went on strike and dad was out of work for nearly six months. We lived on mince for that whole period, there was just no money. “Croydon really was the bush then. We played on the banks of Mullum Mullum Creek, saw echidnas and things. There was also a paddock out the back with a horse and a cow. “Apart from footy, cricket, kick-the-tin and sardines, the great game of our generation was cowboys and Indians. Kids would walk to our house all the way from Ringwood East wearing their six-shooters. We had a Colt .44 Royal Canadian Mounted Police issue that had been my grandfather’s. My father filed the firing pin off it and we used to play with it.

That would have been Katie and would only have been a bit of a peck. Then there was this girl called Hazel who just about swallowed my head and gave me a terrible fright. I would have been 14, 15.
THE GANG Look at all those dirty knees. I am the one sticking out my tongue. The kid with the string fiddling with his glasses is Patrick and together we formed the Cat Gang. There were only two of us. We used to wear our raincoat tied as capes and were not very notorious.

he search for a trophy home often begins in Toorak. For one lucky – and cashed-up – family, it will most likely end in Toorak. In Irving Road. At No.28 to be precise. Benyar is a grand old-style Toorak house with a commanding street presence. The renowned designer, the late Stuart Rattle, completed the renovation and interior design, adding to its user-friendly spaces while complementing its original design. It also says something about this English-style residence in one of the suburb’s most prestigious avenues that it has had only three owners in almost 100 years. The vendors have called Benyar home for 20 years. They are leaving only because their adult children have flown the coop. How often do we hear about party houses? This one is the real deal. Over the years the owners have hosted everything from formal dinners to children’s birthday parties, three 18th birthdays, two 21sts, 40th and 50th birthday parties and a wedding as recently as March. Whichever way you look at it, Benyar is a stunning house. Well-sited on its 1040-square-metre block, it has a symmetry, central entry and 12-paned windows with painted shutters that recall its neo-Georgian origins. Its balconies buck that style, with Italianate columns, but the house is as handsome today as the day it was built. Its sophisticated accommodation includes a formal sitting room that opens to a lavish dining room, a library overlooking established gardens, an open-plan kitchen and family room leading to a loggia for outdoor entertaining, a powder room, four upstairs bedrooms (the main with en suite and dressing room) and a study or fifth bedroom. Living in Toorak doesn’t get much better than this. Rattle’s design brief included opening up the formal living areas, and removing the maid’s stairs. He also opened up the kitchen and family room. Now marble benchtops sit above roomy drawers. There is a vast marble island bench, and integrated

appliances include two fridges and two freezers. A Miele double oven, steamer, and a Qasair rangehood are more standout features. The white-tiled splashback is made from brick-shaped tiles handmade by a ceramic artist in the Otway Ranges. Rattle opened the family room and kitchen to the outdoors by adding a series of french doors that provide easy access to a columned loggia. This is where the vendors say they spend most of their time. It’s easy to see why. An open fireplace with real wood pumps out the heat, there is a barbecue and kitchen at one end and a dining area at the other. A solid, expensive structure, the loggia is floored in Castlemaine slate and functions as a large outdoor room. Its graceful arches overlook the private garden and heated swimming pool. At the front of the house once more, the original staircase, with its white painted uprights and polished timber handrail, makes for a gentle climb upstairs. The main bedroom, with balcony, has views through the treetops. Its large dressing room leads into the en suite, which has a shower and bath. Three other bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, are large. White plantation shutters adorn the windows. Two of these bedrooms share a bathroom. Original, and in pristine condition, it has green tiles that hark back to the fashion of the 1920s and still look fantastic. The en suite off the front bedroom boasts more of the same tiles. Original towel rails offer an insight into past design. The towel rails heat up when the hot water tap in the shower is turned on. With its position near Toorak and Malvern roads, and its mix of formal and informal living areas, this house embraces the spirit of two centuries and looks set for a bright future. ● MARIA HARRIS property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Inspired by American colonial design, this two-storey family house offers an impressive assortment of living spaces amid a refined and modern interior. Tucked behind established pines, it’s obvious that natural light is king here with liberal use of tall french windows. The tiled entry leads to a carpeted study or guest bedroom, spacious bathroom and laundry and there’s a split-level formal living and dining area. Tiling continues through bifold doors to a large family and meals area and a kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. A separate rumpus room features access to front and rear courtyards and shares views to a picture-perfect yard with established trees and gardens, a spacious patio and a solar-heated in-ground pool. Upstairs, four carpeted bedrooms are situated around a central bathroom. The main bedroom features a sleek black-tiled spa en suite and walk-in wardrobe. Two of the three other rooms have built-in wardrobes. There are also two balconies on this level. ● JULIAN HEALEY
This beautifully renovated terrace house is wider than most properties in the tightly held block that borders Hawksburn and Prahran. The house has all the hallmark period decorations – leadlight windows, a verandah fringed by lacy iron, an arched hallway and decorative ceiling roses. Double doors open to a formal living room, which has a built-in desk and shelving. Grey walls and an open fireplace create a sense of intimacy. The main bedroom benefits from a north-facing window and a cleverly devised light court between its en suite and the living room. The court has a vertical garden that allows for an abundance of potted plants to be arranged in columns. A contemporary extension seamlessly connects the old and new sections of the house, via shared materials and colour scheme. The open-plan kitchen and living area face floor-to-ceiling glass windows that look out to a timber deck and face a bluestone barbecue and a well-tended lawn. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and a family-sized bathroom and retreat. ● FRANCESCA CARTER

HAWTHORN N \ 41A CALLANTINAA ROA ROAD City living doesn’t come much more sophisticated than this Hawthorn townhouse. Built 18 months ago, the JAM Architects-designed house has top-of-the-range fittings and fixtures, including jaw-dropping sassafras cabinetry. The house is built over three levels, with the ground floor housing a four-car garage, extensive storage, water tanks and a laundry. The first floor is dominated by the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Defined by high ceilings, that striking cabinetry and a wall of windows, this area delivers contemporary form with stylish function. The kitchen has a butler’s pantry, Miele appliances, including a double oven and plate warmer and an integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer. The glass doors slide open to a low-maintenance courtyard with built-in barbecue. A study lined with more of that sassafras cabinetry rounds out this level. The second floor is given over to the sleeping quarters. The main bedroom takes the north-facing view and has its own covered balcony. An island cupboard provides a walk-through wardrobe and the tiled en suite has a double shower and hand basins. The other two bedrooms are doubles. Other attractions include a lift, smart wiring, hydronic heating, surround sound and remote controlled window coverings. It’s close to shopping strips and elite schools. ● JAN FISHER

AUGUST 12, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 35
SURREY HILLS \ 237 MONT ALBERT ROAD Sophisticated style and c1925 heritage in the formal rooms of Clan House are carried through in its renovation and rear additions, making this house elegant and practical. Rooms are well-proportioned, the zoning of living and sleeping spaces is thoughtful, and the detail in plasterwork and built-in joinery add character. The generous corner site has well-tended gardens out front and along the east side, which is wide enough to include a covered patio. The north-facing back garden opens up to lawn, an outdoor dining space and a double carport. Inside, off an impressive verandah, the long central hallway has picture and dado rails and rich embossed wallpaper. A fitted study and an elegant sitting room with a corner bay window are on the right. The main bedroom, on the left, has a fireplace, bay window, ornate ceiling, en suite and dual-entry wardrobe. Further inside, three bedrooms on the left share a bathroom, while the right side comprises a contemporary kitchen and its meals and family zone on a parquetry floor. The space is light, warm and inviting, with deep windows, a window seat and two sets of french doors. Just off the Golden Mile, the house is well-served by transport, several schools and thriving local café and shopping strips. ● JACQUI HAMMERTON

Here the main suite takes pride of place, occupying the north-west corner of the house and consisting of a generous bedroom, fitted dressing room and a bathroom with a shower and spa. Two more bedrooms are grouped around a family bathroom. A long, slim room overlooking the rear garden is set up as a study but could be a fifth bedroom. A second structure, flanking the dramatic

A cross between a conservatory, a gazebo and a living room makes a big statement at this circa 1914 brick house. The octagonal rear extension, under a terracotta-tiled roof, projects into the north-west section of the rambling back garden. Six of its sides are full-height glass and the remainder is open to connect with the meals area and the kitchen, a few steps up. A sun-catching side deck is also alongside. Some modernisation wouldn’t go astray in this house, which has been renovated in stages in the decades it has served three generations of one family. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a retreat fit under the gabled roofline and the rear extension adds a bathroom and sun-drenched third bedroom. Downstairs, the main bedroom has an en suite and adjoining study/ sunroom. Some period detail is retained in the timber-floored formal living and dining rooms. The property is in a cul-de-sac around the corner from Maling Road’s historic shopping strip, and a historic Italianate building, formerly Malone’s Family Hotel, is in sight. ● JACQUI HAMMERTON
Built in the mid-1990s, this comfortable and bright single-level house has been stylishly updated to create an attractive ready-to-move-in package. Out front, a neat garden and lawn are enclosed by a red brick and wrought iron fence and are adjacent to a driveway and double garage. Inside, the white-tiled entry and hallway extend through the centre of the house. At the front, a combined formal lounge and dining room is carpeted and down-lit, creating a comfortable and modern space. The main bedroom opposite has timber floors, a walk-in wardrobe and a skylit en suite. At the end of the hall, the house splits into additional living quarters and a bright and spacious meals and living area and a Miele-equipped kitchen. The two bedrooms here have timber floors and built-in wardrobes and are close to a bathroom and separate toilet. There are great outdoor spaces too, with the laundry and meals areas offering access to an L-shaped courtyard. All this just moments from Burwood station and Leo’s supermarket. ● JULIAN HEALEY
