fireside chair to knit their way into obscurity. I don’t know if it’s just a shift in perception as I get older, or whether changes in attitudes and general mental and physical fitness mean 60-year-olds really are younger than they used to be, but suddenly over-60s seem not only not all that old, they’re positively cool. Take Carla Zampatti, who at 73 is as stylish and relevant as ever, and has just celebrated 50 years in fashion at a glittering event at the NGV (see this week’s Decent Exposure Exposure). Or Iris Apfel, who at 94 looms large as a style icon and star of a brilliant documentary. Clearly eligibility for a Seniors Card doesn’t mean you can’t be fit, fabulous, vibrant and, as this week’s cover story shows, eminently stylish. So as Victoria celebrates Seniors Festival this week, we salute all those over-60s still moving and shaking it in the community. May we all look forward to being 60 years young. ●

niece. “That’s not for children,” says the sales assistant. Just like that my eyes are opened to the most extraordinary publishing phenomenon since Harry Potter. The explosion of colouring-in books for adults started in France with the publication in 2012 of Hachette’s Art-Thérapie: 100 Coloriages Anti-Stress, a collection of mandala-like designs for adult “relaxation support”. Almost simultaneously, across the Channel British artist and illustrator Johanna Basford convinced her publisher to print Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Colouring Book, with a modest initial run of

“i can still recall …when derwents were like nikes for the under-nines”

(ISTOCK)

ong ago and far away I yearned for a set of Derwent pencils. I can still recall the intensity of my seven-year-old self longing for the pencils of perfection – the first manifestation of brand awareness when Derwents were like Nikes for the under-nines. Of course, it was before pencils became multicultural, rather than coloured. They came in tins of 12, 24, 36 and 72 and, while man had recently walked on the moon, I couldn’t dream big enough for the latter, which seemed hopelessly unobtainable. I nagged, wheedled, pleaded and ultimately struck a deal with my parents. I set about learning my multiplication tables to a point that it must have seemed to my parents that a sharp pencil was better than a dull, leaden times-chanting child and 36 Derwents were mine. Fast-forward to the past week. I pick up a fancy-looking colouring-in book from a bookshop display and wonder aloud whether it’s not too ambitious for my four-year-old

13,000 copies. Since then the two books have sold millions of copies worldwide. Colouring-in now has its own aisles in bookshops, with even designers such as Yves Saint Laurent and Hermes getting in on the act. There are adult join-the-dot books and Querkles (elaborate paint-by-numbers books). A Melbourne company called Colourtation produces books it says are clinically proven to provoke meditative alpha waves, zoning-out on filling in geometric patterns. “If you give

the brain pattern, repetition and order, it has the same effect as salt, fat and sugar – it just loves it,” says Colourtation co-founder and neuroscientist Dr Stan Rodski. I remain unconvinced until I raise the topic with a girlfriend. “I bought one for [my husband] Geoff for Father’s Day. It was a bit of a joke really. When our son was little, Geoff used to ‘help’ colour in his books all the time. He had to hold the pencil a certain way, to shade in a certain direction, it was very serious business.” What was his reaction? “He hasn’t had a chance to have a go yet; I’ve been getting into it, it’s very addictive.” Where will this end, I ask the bookshop owner? “Well, I did have to bite my tongue when someone asked for adults-only colouring pencils the other day,” she says. There’s only one response to this new adult coloured consciousness: 2B or not 2B … that is the question. ● sharris@theweeklyreview.com.au Virginia Trioli is on leave

OCTOBER 7, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 7

here was a time when women of a certain age were expected to wear beige or grey – or anything really, as long as they didn’t attract attention to themselves. They weren’t supposed to look stylish, let alone sexy or fun. But that was before New York photographer Ari Seth Cohen turned his lens to a previously ignored demographic, the stylish 60-plus woman. His blog, Advanced Style, became an international phenomenon. It spawned a coffee table book and a feature-length documentary of the same name. Suddenly the stylish older woman was in vogue. The fashion industry sat up and took notice. Luxe label Céline put octogenarian author Joan Didion front and centre of its spring-summer 2015 campaign. Saint Laurent picked 71-year-old songstress Joni Mitchell to star in its ads, and L’Oréal named 66-year-old Twiggy as its UK ambassador. As these Melbourne fashionistas attest, you can turn heads at any age. ●

Alison Waters

ublic relations maven, Alison Waters, is unarguably one of Melbourne’s most stylish women. Immaculately groomed and seldom seen without a hat, she evokes the glamour of a bygone era. Beginning her career at the legendary Big Biba in 1970s London, she has worked variously as cultural attaché at the French consulate in Melbourne, magazine publisher, and director of her own public relations firm, The Waters Group. Last month she emceed and judged the fashion at the Melbourne Cup Carnival Garden Party. Alison’s remarkable collection of hats runs to more than 300, but these are no museum pieces, rather living fashion items she wears every day. However, for Alison, true style is about much more than clothes. “I try to seek beauty and grace in every aspect of my life.” Personal style? I strive at all times for elegance, mixing couture with current European designer fashion. Early influences? My aunt Sybil, whom I lived with for a year or two as a young girl. Sybil had lived and shopped in Europe for 20 years and had developed a fine sense of sophistication. Then in the 1970s I began working at Big Biba, where I developed a passion for hats. My favourite from this time is a fake leopard skin hat that I still treasure. Inspired by screen goddesses from the ’30s and ’40s, we all dressed very glamorouslyat Big Biba, from peach satin suits à la Marlene Dietrich to simple, elegant bias-cut evening gowns. Favourite item of clothing? A hat, of course. A hat lifts my mood instantly. I especially love the act of wearing a hat every day when they are not seen to be fashionable – in a strange way I see it as an act of defiance. No.1 style rule? Know who you are and then be true to yourself. Trend you despise? I really hate the inappropriate casualisation of dress.

JANUARY JONES MEETS THREE WOMEN WHO PROVE you can turn heads at any age

STYLE

Style icon? Audrey Hepburn Favourite shop? Cose Ipanema, where I never fail to find a desirable vintage hat or garment. Favourite labels? Current Dries van Noten and John Rocha hats and dresses, Naomi Goodsir, and Stephen Jones hats. Vintage Chanel hats, Christian Dior hats, ’70s Yves Saint Laurent dresses and jackets, ’80s Romeo Gigli evening clothes. Advice to my younger self? Stay out of the sun.

Jenny Bannister

n Australian fashion force of nature, Jenny Bannister began her career in 1975 reworking old denim into fresh designs, and launched her eponymous label the following year. Her designs quickly became an international phenomenon; gracing the pages of major fashion magazines and attracting devotees, including Elle Macpherson, Naomi Campbell, Debbie Harry and Kylie Minogue. Jenny’s work has been auctioned at Christie’s in London and is coveted by art galleries and museums. The National Gallery of Victoria has more of her pieces than those of any other Australian fashion designer. These days Jenny eschews fashion for fashion’s sake and instead channels her creativity towards upcycling vintage fabrics into new clothes for herself – serving the dual purpose of creative outlet and helping to save the environment, one dress at a time Personal style? Tribal luxe with a hint of punk. Early influences? I was inspired by 1960s magazines and movies, like [TV’s] The Avengers and Swiss Family Robinson. Designers Paco Rabanne and Mary Quant were another huge influence, as well as the stores and street style on Carnaby Street and King’s Road, London. Favourite trend? I don’t follow trends and find them very dull. I like things that are different.

Favourite accessory? My long blonde hair. No.1 style rule? Always look edgy, unique and comfortable. What would you never wear again? Bicycle shorts. Style icons? Diana Rigg, who played Emma Peel in The Avengers, and 93-year-old fashion icon, Iris Apfel. Melbourne fashion: then and now Melbourne fashion used to be very independent and creative. There were lots of designer boutiques on Chapel Street whose clothes were all made in Melbourne with great fabrics and style. Now Melbourne fashion is predominately made offshore with a more global aesthetic. Best place to shop? I shop mostly online, at pop-up stores or the op shop. There are a few Melbourne designer label stores on Chapel Street, Prahran, that I enjoy venturing out to as well. Favourite label? Di$count Universe. You’re never too old to … express yourself through what you wear. ●

“I categorise my fashion mistakes as experiments. I have a lot of fun with those” – linda jackson

Linda Jackson

ne of the most influential pioneers of a distinctly Australian fashion sensibility, Linda Jackson started out in the 1970s designing garments for Jenny Kee’s legendary Sydney boutique Flamingo Park. She struck out on her own in 1981 with her own labels Bush Couture and Bush Kids. Reflecting her love of the Australian landscape, Linda’s designs mirrored the colours and motifs of the outback and were soon lauded as wearable art. Now living in Bendigo, Linda spends her time on painting and photography. But her influence on Australian fashion has not been forgotten: label of the moment, Romance was Born, paid homage to her lasting impact with its spring 2015 collection. Personal style? Colourful, eccentric, comfortable and practical, with the odd tribal or indigenous cloth.

Biggest fashion mistake? I would categorise my mistakes as experiments. I have had a lot of fun with those. Favourite trend? I love seeing men being more creative and having fun with styling. I must say I am not keen on extreme high heels; a woman’s posture starts looking quite strange. Style icon? My mother Edith. She is 90 years young and very active. She loves getting dressed up to go dancing, shopping or out to lunch. Melbourne fashion: then and now I grew up in Melbourne but haven’t lived here since 1969. After living in the tropics and hot remote places for years, I still think Melbourne is extremely stylish.

Early influences? My parents were ballroom dancers so mum’s frocks became my dress-up wardrobe. She made all of my clothes and, due to my fussiness, I was encouraged to make my own. I was also influenced by my travels around the world, from living in New Guinea to travelling through the East, and then on to Paris from 1969 to 1973 – and by designers like Balenciaga, Paco Rabanne and Schiaparelli to Chinese opera costume, Japanese kabuki and kimono. I’ve also had a love of R. M. Williams and bush clothes.

Favourite shop? I’m a non-shopper. I make everything I wear, but I did find a divine Chinese brocade padded vest in a Chinese newsagent that is perfect for Bendigo winters.

Favourite wardrobe staple? My fabulous Akubra hat with my opal print band. And, for special occasions, my gorgeous opal necklace.,

Advice to my younger self? Have confidence in yourself and make the most of every opportunity.

No.1 style rule? Feel happy, be comfortable and stay true to oneself.

You’re never too old to … enjoy life ● jjones@theweeklyreview.com.au

Favourite label? Romance was Born. I have always loved their style and colour and was thrilled to be invited to collaborate with them on three collections. The most recent was the Cooee Couture collection exhibited at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

WATCH THIS FACE

“we were on the golf course when she told me kate winslet was interested”

ROSALIE HAM \ AUTHOR

What’s the buzz? Kate Winslet gets 200 scripts a year and chooses only two or three to work on. One of those scripts was The Dressmaker Dressmaker. Rosalie wrote the novel over three years, never dreaming her tale of love, jealousy, malice and tragedy in rural Australia would become a big-budget movie. “When I asked my teacher if I should send it to a publisher, she said, ‘You might as well’,” Rosalie says. Sue Maslin, the fim’s producer was drawn to the story’s strong female characters and imagery that were at odds with rural Australia c1951. In the beginning … Rosalie studied drama and literature and has a bachelor of education but was working as an aged-care nurse and then cook when she wrote The Dressmaker, which draws on her memories of growing up in Jerilderie in regional NSW – a town of 1000 people – where her mum was the town dressmaker. “My parents divorced when I was 10, quite scandalous in a small community then,” she says. “You always have stereotypes in those places,

Look out for …

like the town gossip and the adulterer. I took those elements and made them gothic.” The big break … Rosalie collected a sheaf of rejection letters before her book was finally published 15 years ago. In 2013 Sue Maslin stepped in to translate the story to the silver screen. “Sue and I were on the golf course at Yarra Bend, thrashing around looking for golf balls, when she told me Kate Winslet was interested,” Rosalie says. Where to now? Now a literature lecturer at the University of Melbourne, Rosalie is working on her fourth novel. “It’s another rural community and to do with farming and water,” is all she’ll say. Later this month she’ll walk the red carpert at the premiere of The Dressmaker at Crown. “I might get a new frock, but I’ll be back teaching the next day.” The best part about success? “I’ve paid off my mortgage. And the film has brought a lot of joy to family and friends. People I grew up with in Jerilderie have heard about it and said, ‘No way, really? Good on ya, Hammy’.” ● SARAH MARINOS » www.dressmakermovie.com.au

The Dressmaker will premiere on October 29.

(SCOTT MCNAUGHTON)

Author Rosalie Ham, from Brunswick, wrote her first novel, The Dressmaker Dressmaker, while working at an aged-care home and studying writing part-time at RMIT University. That book has now become a film with Kate Winslet playing the leading role.

YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD clare kennedy takes a front row seat at a fASHION show with a twist

(LUCAS DAWSON)

DARRELL REID \ 67

how producer Shirley Mason banters with a friend whose husband is a model in the runway due to start in 20 minutes. “I want him to wiggle his bottom today, is he going to do that?” she inquires cheekily. “Well, you better tell him dear. I can’t, because he’ll say to stop micro-managing me!” It’s all in good fun as Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 pumps up the crowd at the Victorian Arts Centre for a fashion show with a twist. All the models are over 50; most have never graced a catwalk before. The runway for over-50s broke new ground in this year’s cultural program of the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival. The fashion show was driven and produced by the indefatigable 79-year-old Shirley, a member of the University of the Third Age (U3A). The Englishwoman’s career in fashion took her from modelling at 17 to running her own shop near Cambridge for 30 years. Then seven years ago she endured three life-changing events. At 73, she lost her life partner, retired and moved to Melbourne to live closer to her daughter’s family. “But you need friends your own age,” she says emphatically, so she joined the U3A current affairs and writing classes

« LYNETTE KALMS \ 65 “I could organise the evacuation of Darwin if I had to,” says Lynette Kalms. So retirement as financial administrator at Melbourne University posed a challenge. Then she met Shirley Mason at a U3A current affairs class, who suggested she join the fashion show. “My first instincts were, ‘Don’t be ridiculous!’ But when Shirley said, ‘You’re exactly the sort of person we want,’ that was the key. I thought, just because I have retired from work doesn’t mean I have retired from the world. “If you look at my body shape, you will see it’s not the normal kind of shape in a fashion show. I’ve long since learned not to be defined by that or anything else about me.” Something else happened that helped her take the risk; she had also joined the U3A choir to revive a love for singing that she’d left behind at 16. That opened the door to community choir Viva Melbourne and taking part in the Alta Pusteria Choir Festival in the Italian Dolomites in June. “If I’d told myself at 25 that at my age I’d be on a catwalk and representing Australia in a choir I wouldn’t have believed it,” she laughs.

DOREEN BEECH

MICHAEL ROWELL \ 58 Architect Michael Rowell, who takes U3A’s German language classes, found the modelling an interesting experience. He enjoyed seeing the clothes selected for him to wear, although they weren’t his usual choice, he says. “I guess you’ve just got to have confidence and be comfortable in what you’re wearing. It’s not that hard really. I like dressing up a bit.”

DHAV NAIDU MEETS THE MAKERS KEEPING A TRADITION ALIVE

(SCOTT McNAUGHTON \ ISTOCK \ SUPPLIED) UPPLIED)

Celia Coate is a legend in the world of bespoke tailors. She stumbled into tailoring when she had to get a job after her father lost everything in a bad investment. After working as a market consultant, at 30 she started working with a contractor who was doing alterations for David Jones. In 1990 she was approached by the department store to run its men’s tailoring department, which she renamed Coates & Tails. She earned a name as the men’s tailor before branching out on her own in 2000 with Sarti, which began as a chic hybrid Italian-bistro-cum tailors, but now concentrates solely on tailoring. Today Sarti’s Lonsdale Street showroom is a spacious homage to the art of tailoring. Celia is a bona fide fabric aficionado who can talk about the finer points of wools and silks for hours. Her favourite is Loro Piana super 150’s wool and silk blend, for its finesse and the way it gives any suit that certain edge. She won’t reveal how many bespoke suits Sarti makes a year but says her clientele reads like a who’s who of powerful people, from politicians to business heavyweights and sport stars. Celia laments that the term bespoke is overused. “Bespoke is made only for you,” she says. She says a true bespoke suit requires three fittings and takes about 60 hours of work. “The first fitting is put together without the sleeves, the body form to start with, and then it is taken apart. The second fitting is made with the sleeves and the body and usually the pants. Then the final fitting is with the suit semi-made, where it can be adjusted further.” And the price? “To my thinking if you get anything for less than $5000, I would be a bit worried,” she says. “It takes a good tailor with excellent skills to complete a bespoke suit.” Sarti provides the full range of ready made, made-to-measure and bespoke suits for men and women, as well as shirt and tie tailoring. Suit prices start from $800 for ready made, to $1500 for made-to-measure and from $5000 for bespoke. ●

BESPOKE IN MELBOURNE

here are few things more flattering than a suit, shirt or shoe that fits perfectly. Such items become your calling card and, to get that fit just right, the only way to go is bespoke. The term “bespoke” means “spoken for” and refers to something made from scratch to your exact specifications; it is unique to you and no one else. Bespoke is often confused with made-to-measure which means something sewn from an existing standard-sized pattern, modified to fit you well. To most of us, bespoke is synonymous with moneyed but anyone who has the time, inclination and some significant spare change can have something made just for them. It takes time to get things perfect and prices for a bespoke suit start from $5000; shoes average about $1000 and shirts range from $150. These are not flights of fancy but are made to last season after season. This is style, not fashion, and transcends passing trends. The British-made bespoke is a necessary tradition for the well-dressed gentleman but Australians are fast catching up – and Melbourne is the hub. We unearth three businesses safeguarding the bespoke tradition. ● dnaidu@theweeklyreview.com.au

Jess Cameron-Wootten owes his vision to his father Ross Wootten, who began making bespoke footwear in the early 1970s in South Australia. Jess studied industrial design and worked in the design department of General Motors Holden before enrolling in a footwear-making course at RMIT. “I just wanted to work with my hands every day and keep a fairly under-appreciated craft alive,” he says. He started Wootten in 2012. He says bespoke is a collaborative process. “You come in with an idea and we talk to you about what will work. After the initial consultation we take measurements and make a cast of your feet. We then draft a pattern and start putting the shoe together.” The whole process can take 40 hours. His deceptively small shop front opens up to a labyrinth of workrooms where he and his team work with leathers from around the world. The team makes 250 to 300 bespoke pairs of shoes a year. Wootten’s customers range from those with special footwear needs to those who simply want something truly special. Wootten’s prices range from $400-$600 for off-the-rack, to $600-$900 for made-to-order, to $900-$1500 for bespoke. ●

Saibu No Akuma is a loose translation of Japanese for “the devil is in the detail”, explains Tony Wu, who started the bespoke shirt business two years ago with partners Paul Trinh, Sebastian Rodriguez and Jeff Lee. He says that philosophy underpins every aspect of their operation. Tony says the partners wanted to do one thing really well and that was making custom-made shirts. He is passionate about the shirts they make, from the excellent cottons they use right down to the high stitch count per centimetre. For him, bespoke is all about creating an experience as well as a garment fastidiously tailored to fit. He believes it is only through talking to customers that he can deliver the best results and insists no computer can replace human measuring, especially when it comes to understanding when to trim or add fabric. Saibu No Akuma makes about 2000 bespoke shirts a year, each one taking from 12 to 15 hours and costing $150 to $170. Clients include people from all walks of life who want a bespoke experience without the high price tag of a suit. “We provide this service knowing that our quality and product is primo and it is for everyone.” ● OCTOBER 7, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY LLY REVIEW 15

KENDALL HILL HUNTS DOWN THE BEST PRE-THEATRE BITES IN TOWN

elbourne loves a big night out, whether it’s theatre, symphony, cinema, ballet, opera or a band. But the thing that always causes performance anxiety is where to eat before the show. Here, in no particular order and chosen purely for tastiness, promptness and proximity to performing arts venues, is our pick of pre-theatre diners. khill@theweeklyreview.com.au

Gradi Handy to \ Hamer Hall, Arts Centre When you want to be certain of getting a table, it pays to head to a 400-seat riverside restaurant. Home of Johnny Di Francesco’s famous margherita pizza (champion at last year’s world championships in Parma) Gradi is ideal for a bite before or after a show. Besides pizza, there’s the full Italian playbook of pastas, antipasti, meats, fish and dolci, so there’s something for all tastes. ● Crown Casino, 8 Whiteman Street, Southbank. 9696 9888 Open daily noon-11pm. www.gradicrown.com.au

Entrecôte

(V (VALLERIEE \ ISTOCK \ GETTY IMAGES )

Handy (ish) to \ St Martin’s, Melbourne Theatre Company, Hamer Hall, Arts Centre, Malthouse The restaurant formerly known as Lynch’s (and fleetingly as The Millswyn) has been reborn as French-accented Entrecôte, best known for its limited menu of fresh-shucked oysters and steaks (rather good steaks, in fact, from pasture-fed Hopkins River beef). For more choice, head to the bar to snack on terrine, perhaps gravlax, a cheeseburger or a baguette filled with steak, chips and herbed butter sauce. Wine prices are pegged for South Yarra pay cheques, but arrive before 6pm and you’ll catch happy-hour oysters at $2 a pop and Mumm at $12 a flute. ● 133 Domain Road, South Yarra. 9804 5468 Open daily 7am-midnight (no bookings) www.entrecote.com.au

Sake

Handy to \ Arts Centre, Hamer Hall The menu’s not unlike Nobu but the setting’s a little sharper and the river views are nicer at Sake, the mod-Japanese chain restaurant overseen by sushi guru Shaun Presland. Nab a seat on the Yarra-side terrace or a tatami room if you’ve got a crew in tow. Service is swift, serves are small but the tastes and textures can be exquisite – as in the white soy snapper with yuzu and sesame seeds. The drinks list is top-notch too, with a sake sommelier to guide you through the rice brews. ● Hamer Hall, Arts Centre Melbourne, Southgate Avenue. 8687 0775 Open daily noon-late. www.sakerestaurant.com.au/hamer-hall

Rosa’s Kitchen Handy to \ Princess Theatre, Her Majesty’s, Comedy, Regent Theatre, Forum Theatre Rosa Mitchell’s rustic Sicilian cooking makes a perfect curtain-raiser to a night on the town. Chalked menus feature whatever’s fresh and best on the day – almost always involving produce from Rosa’s Yandoit farm or farmers’ markets. That might mean fried ricotta, spaghetti with mussels, an excellent orecchiette with cauliflower and anchovy, or slices of poached veal tongue. There’s a sharp list of mostly Italian wines and seats at the bijou bar for those wanting a quick bite, a vino and Rosa’s feel-good food. ● 22 Punch Lane, City. 9662 2883 Open Tuesday-Saturday from 5.30pm. rosas-kitchen.com

Shimbashi Soba & Sake Bar Handy to \ Princess, Her Majesty’s, Comedy, Regent Theatre This nondescript laneway Asian sometimes suffers from lacklustre service but, oh, the noodles! Chef Taka Kumayama grinds Tasmanian buckwheat seeds in a stone mill each morning and turns the flour into soba – slippery, toothsome buckwheat noodles steeped in bonito broth.

Even the simplest preparations, such as chilled noodles with sesame sauce, are outstanding. For the full (and quick) fix, order warm kamonan soba, soup noodles seasoned with mushrooms and sliced duck. It’s $19 of goodness. ● 17 Liverpool Street, City. 9654 6727 Open from 6pm, closed Sunday www.shimbashisobamelbourne.net

Supernormal Handy to \ Athenaeum Theatre, Regent Theatre, Cinema Nova, Forum Theatre, The Butterfly Club For thoroughly modern Asian by star chef Andrew McConnell, duck into the chicly stark Supernormal in the Flinders Lane basement of the BHP building. It’s an all-day affair, so ideal for early dinner. The menu is loaded with snackable treats such as McConnell’s celebrated New England lobster rolls and various other filled bao and dumplings. There’s also a raw bar (oysters, tuna with kombu, smoked beef with clam mayo) and larger dishes such as the slow-cooked Szechuan lamb to share. ● 180 Flinders Lane, City. 9650 8688 Open 11am-11pm daily (midnight Friday and Saturday). supernormal.net.au

Mamak Handy to \ Hoyts cinema centre, The Butterfly Club Nothing warms the cockles after a big night more than lashings of really good roti. At Mamak, the city’s standout Malaysian restaurant, they do roti 10 different ways, savoury or sweet, as well as satays, classic chicken curry, rice and noodles. It’s open late so if you don’t have time to eat before the show, you can always pop in afterwards. Bring a bottle of something nice – BYO is charged at just $2 a head. ● 366 Lonsdale Street, City. 9670 3137 Open daily 5.30-9.30pm (10.30pm Friday-Saturday). mamak.com.au

Only that you regret not telling them to, well, what Helen said.

It all ends the same way.

ne of the best quotes I’ve heard about ageing is the one about how great it is to finally get to an age when you regret nothing except that you didn’t tell more people to f*** off when you were younger. Lately, the quote has been attributed to Helen Mirren. I’m not sure that’s where it originated but, given she’s the poster girl for ageing well both physically and mentally, she has a right to own it. Mirren is the goddess of old – mostly because she still looks young – which is one of many sad ironies of modern life that is far too complex to unpack in this space. While I’ve not yet received my Seniors Card in the mail, its arrival gets closer every day (funny that, hysterical even). Like Helen, I too wish I’d told a few people where to go when I was younger. In fact, I wish I had done more than just that in some instances. But, of course, one of the best and at the same time worst things about getting older is knowing what you know now that you didn’t know when you were a wee young thing,

Because of this, I’m really looking forward to my own period of hopefully extended seniority. If all goes to plan, it will involve rolling green hills, chickens, possibly grandkids, pots of tea and maybe the odd trip to Tassie. It’s a bit clichéd, nothing fancy. I’m just after a place to sit quietly and not be remotely bothered by anything. Happy Seniors Week, seniors! Enjoy your comfy perch. ● khall@theweeklyreview.co.au

entwining of young legs at stools under window-benches, and hand-holding at tables. Neither the dangling legs nor the interlaced hands were mine; I was an observer of love at Hattori Hanzo. But I’m coming back to this bright, urban-inspired eatery, where old Japanese movies are projected onto the wall, for my own date night. It’s Bayside’s latest buzz. It’s serving hip, Asian-fusion food. And it’s wildly fun. That it’s named after a 16th-century samurai and master swordsman adds to the cool factor. In the vein of Hanoi Hannah and Charlie Dumpling, the boys next door (literally, Steve Larkan and Paul Conroy own neighbouring tapas bar Garden of Good and Evil) have brought some inner-south cool to outer Cheltenham. They’ve installed a giant mural of a Hong-Kong-at-night street-scene, a brick-lined, classy bar and lots of warm timber. They’ve got the mood lighting bang-on too. Sticky, wildly sweet, not-too-chewy beef jerky, juicy spicy prawns poached in a fragrant stock and served with delicate sticks of carrot and daikon, and golden cubes of crumbed tofu served as DIY lettuce rolls with sticks of shredded veg and an earthy almond satay dipping sauce are among the rather good street-food offerings.

VERSUS

ou’re at a restaurant, the wine list appears and a decision has to be made. Thankfully there’s a sommelier to guide you. But what about when you’re out on your own and buying takeaway? I reckon just three wine styles and beer are enough to cover most takeaway options – sparkling; a crisp, floral white such as riesling or semillon-sauvignon blanc; a tannic red, such as cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese; and a beer, which I find suits anything home-delivered. Fish and chips: Friday nights at Chez Thomas tend to involve fish and chips and a bottle of bubbles. Salty fish and chips and champagne is one of the best food and wine matches going, but local bubbly works just as well. Curry: The acid in crisp white wines works a treat with seafood and chicken curries, while a tannic red has the body to stand up to rich, spicy curry sauces. Asian: Pairing Asian food with wine and beer falls into a couple of camps – sweet and spicy. Beer works with both, especially the sweeter dishes. For wine,

DOGGED EFFORT FINE

Little Creatures’ latest beer, Dog Days Summer Beer ($21 for a six-pack), is low in alcohol at 4.4 per cent but combines a rich, crisp body with fruity citrus, caramel and pine aromas. It’s incredibly easy to drink and is a style that will appeal to those who like flavour and body. 91/100

IRON CONSTITUTION FUN

spicy food’s easy – a crisp white. For dumplings people tend to think pinot noir, while cabernet sauvignon and its tannins are the perfect foil. Pizza: While most wines work, the Italian grape sangiovese hits the mark, especially for pizzas with a tomato base. ● BEN THOMAS bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

King Valley’s Pizzini first released a sangiovese in 1996. It now has six different examples in its range. The 2013 Pietra Rossa ($28) is made from grapes grown on a vineyard rich with iron oxide. Plum, spice and dark cherry flavours have earthy notes, while there’s a neat balance between fine tannins and vibrant acid. 92/100

The Rabbits tells the story of first contact between white colonists and indigenous Australians, through the metaphor of invading rabbits and displaced marsupials. Kate admits it’s heavy stuff for a kids’ show to tackle. “Making the characters animals was a stroke of genius on Shaun’s behalf, in terms of audience access to the story. I don’t think we’ve pandered to the kids. Look there are a couple of bum jokes, but it’s weighty subject material.” Young theatre fans who missed out on tickets will want to try Masquerade. It, too, takes a fantastical approach without skimping on the big issues. Actor and prize-winning playwright Kate Mulvany has adapted Kit Williams’ picture book, in which the moon falls in love with the sun, and incorporated her own experiences of dealing with childhood cancer.

(JEFF BUSBY)

hile it’s tempting to focus on the musical highlights of this year’s Melbourne Festival (Laura Marling, The Fall and a star-studded local revival of Patti Smith’s seminal LP Horses), it’s hard to ignore a definite literary bent. The 2015 program boasts stage adaptations of 1984, Fly Away Peter and Monkey … Journey to The West, the Chinese novel that inspired the cult television series. One adaptation has been such a hit that all seven sessions have sold out. The Rabbits is an opera for children written by playwright Lally Katz and pop star Kate Miller-Heidke (who also performs the role of Bird). Based on a book by John Marsden and Shaun Tan, the production scored an incredible four Helpmann Awards after its Perth Festival premiere. One went to Kate for her original score. Not bad for someone who has never written an opera before. Kate says working in intense collaboration with Lally, Barking Gecko Theatre Company and Opera Australia has been a thrilling experience. “I’ve spent a lot of my creative life scared of collaboration. I thought sitting alone in a room feeling sad was the best recipe and felt extremely

“If you expect the worst of a kid, that’s what you’re going to get.” So says Martin Bashir (Alex Dimitriades), new principal of troubled Sydney school Boxdale Boys High. He arrives at his post armed with a pragmatic sort of idealism, but soon finds himself entangled in a culture of racial tension, cynicism and toxic masculinity. Tightly written, stylishly directed and crammed with acting talent, this gripping new four-part drama is up there with Redfern Now and Wildside. Don’t miss it. ●

Humans of New York: The Stories by Brandon Stanton humansofnewyork.com

Photographer Brandon Stanton has been blogging his visual census of New York for five years. In time, the focus has shifted from his striking images to the remarkable tales behind them. Recently, his story of a gay teen, worried about his future, made global news. Many of the vignettes – tantalising character sketches, really – in this second hardback volume are every bit as heartbreaking, honest and incredible. ● ONLINE \ Win one of three copies

Sounding at once broken-hearted and ecstatic isn’t an easy trick, but it’s one this Glaswegian group has mastered for their second LP take Clearest Blue, where singer Lauren Mayberry begs “Tell me, tell me you need me” before bursting into a triumphant, fist-pumping chorus. The band, who will be in Melbourne for next year’s Laneway Festival, manage to fuse the heart-rending emotion of stadium rock with the adrenaline rush of dance. The result is as thrilling and poignant as pop gets. ● THE PRINCIPAL \ ALEX DIMITRIADES

Sleazy writer Keith Michaels (Hugh Grant) is washed up. Having peaked early in his career, he’s become box office poison and, desperate for cash, takes up a teaching position at a remote university. Needless to say, he’s more interested in the opportunity to seduce young undergrads than passing on any wisdom to his students. Hugh is in charming form and the script has just enough edge to excuse the lazy romance elements. ● ONLINE \ Watch the trailer

Where do you go for a great coffee? I’m not really a coffee person! I really love my tea though, but I prefer to make it myself. When my girlfriend comes down from Bendigo we go to Louie’s Deli just a few doors away for a tea or coffee. They’ve also got a good variety of food and everything’s home cooked. For a lovely meal? Georgios. We’ve been there quite a few times. It’s close to home and comfortable and the food’s quite good there. Caffe La Via is nice too. For a new outfit? I like Leona Edmiston on High Street – although I don’t shop for myself all that much anymore.

For some me time? I do the crossword in the newspaper every day and I love to read. I always have a book on the go. I’m also a big Tigers fan. I try to go to most of the games in Melbourne, but don’t go to interstate games anymore. My family goes and makes the banner each week – we’re all Richmond fanatics! For some exercise? I just walk in the local area and I’m just up from Union Street Park. It’s nice to go there when it’s a pleasant day to sit under the beautiful trees and watch the kids play. It’s a nice afternoon getting out of the house. T buy the perfect gift? To I’ve been going to David Jones a lot in Malvern Central; they have some lovely things over there. I found that I did a lot of my Christmas shopping there last year. Kidstuff toy shop is also great. They’re in Malvern Central and now they’ve opened up in High Street as well.

We try

LYO N H O U S E M U S E U M

The promise A guided tour of the gallery, which includes paintings, sculpture, large-scale installation works and video art by Australian artists. The reality Yueji Lyon meets us at the door to begin the tour. She and her husband, Corbett, started their art collection 24 years ago, and built a house to showcase it in 2001. Corbett is an award-winning architect, and the house is designed to be both gallery and family home. We learn about art from Penny Byrne and Callum Morton and view a custom-made pipe organ, designed by Corbett, and a giant neon sign by Brook Andrew. On the ground floor we find the “white cube”, an expansive atrium that currently hosts large-scale installation work from Constanze Zikos, and the “black box”, a cinema room with giant screens on three walls playing video work by Matthew Sleeth. Corbett and Yueji’s children have started to curate their own collection of knick-knacks from around the globe. Upstairs there’s more amazing art by Howard Arkley and Caroline Rothwell in the dining room, while cleverly designed

windows show off the “white cube” and the artwork downstairs. The pay-off The architecture of the building makes viewing the art within it that much more enjoyable. The pain factor None whatsoever. Who should do it? Anyone with a love of the visually stunning. The bill It’s $22, or $6.50 per student for school groups, for a 75-minute tour. The gallery opens only on selected days throughout the year.

WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?

The artworks change reasonably frequently, so I’ll be back for sure. ● Lyon Housemuseum 219 Cotham Road, Kew 9817 2300 lyonhousemuseum.com.au

Pavé Tile Co opened its doors in December 2014 and has since become a popular destination for Italian imported tiles. The expansive showroom gives customers a great idea of how the tiles will look and feel in their home. Behind the counter Co-owner Luke Rizzo says he and his partners have more than 40 years’ experience in the tile industry and have brought that certain something to the Swan Street homewares strip. “We had a vision of bringing something different to Richmond; there’s a lot of tile shops in the area but our stock is quite unique,” Luke says.

Who’s buying? Interior designers and architects flock to Pavé to get the latest in European design. Also home renovators who want quality at the best price. “Our prices are very competitive,” Luke says. ● JEMIMAH CLEGG

They also stock the popular timber and concrete-look tiles, as well as large-format porcelain sheets. “That’s quite a new wave in interior design,” Luke says. “For floors, for walls, people are using it for showers because there’s no grout to clean.

It’s hard to imagine a better way to enjoy the spectacular sunrise over Uluru than viewing it from Desert Awakenings’ private sunrise site. Groups of 20 travel along the isolated desert tracks to the remote southern viewing area on top of a sand dune. Sitting around the campfire, you’re treated to a traditional Australian breakfast including fresh damper and billy tea while watching the sunrise. Then it’s off on a guided tour around the base of Uluru, visiting the sacred and spiritual Mutitjulu waterhole and learning about indigenous traditions at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park Cultural Centre. ●

CAMEL RIDE

t doesn’t matter how many times you make the trip to Central Australia, Uluru is just the tip of the iceberg – well, tip of a mammoth vertical slab of rock that is believed to continue under the ground for up to six kilometres. There are so many ways to experience Australia’s most recognisable natural wonder, which rises 348 metres above the red desert sand. One of the best is to enjoy Uluru from afar, where you can take it all in. Before the sun comes up and when it sets are the two ideal times for tours, because you avoid the heat of the day. Sunrise and sunset experiences also provide the opportunity to learn about the natural and cultural landscape, whether it be at your own pace or with a knowledgeable tour guide. Do explore. Do wander. Most of all, do relax. ● BIANCA VILLAROSA editorial@theweeklyreview.com.au

JEROME BORAZIO

erome Borazio has spent his adult life living and working in the city. He’s the founder of St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, an annual music celebration that began in his first bar in 2004. Located in a former Swedish meatballs shop, it became a haunt for local bands. Today Jerome owns bars including Ponyfish, Sister Bella and 1000 Pound Bend and recently opened St Jerome’s – The Hotel on the rooftop of Melbourne Central. For Jerome and long-term partner, Amelia, home for the past two years has been a modern apartment in East Melbourne with views of the city skyline and the park on his doorstep. “This is my oasis away from the chaos,” he says. “Before I was based at the top end of Little Collins Street and there was so much construction going on. It was difficult to concentrate … I must be getting old.” The apartment is filled with Jerome’s beloved books and mementoes of his and Amelia’s travels around the world. “This apartment is a simplified set-up because everything else in our lives is so busy,” he says. “I had a warehouse apartment before and if I wasn’t up to move my car by 6am I’d get a ticket. One of the biggest luxuries here is my own car parking space.” ● SARAH MARINOS smarinos@theweeklyreview.com.au

HORSE

(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)

I bought this from the same place as our table for Amelia’s 30th birthday a few years ago. She’s obsessed with horses and has five racehorses. The skulls hanging on it came from San Sebastián after a long day on the tapas.

CAGE BOOK SHELF

I saw this in a factory in Richmond and fell in love with it – it might have been a meat safe. I bought it and then worked out what to do with it. I love reading and am hesitant to lend books. I love the Lonely Planet guides, design books and biographies especially.

My favourite thing

The first year of Laneway my friend, Danny Rogers, jumped the gun and thought the band Cut Copy had confirmed. They hadn’t. Danny made a handful of posters and put them up around town before we got a call from Cut Copy’s management. An artist called Monkey designed the poster and he’s now our creative arts director.

IGUANA FROM BARCELONA

I don’t wear shoes ever – only thongs. A mate of mine bought these for his business partner, who hated them, so he gave them to me about 12 years ago. I tried to wear them to a wedding as my formal thongs but it was torture.

We love Barcelona and the vibrancy of Spain and I bought this there about four years ago. It’s based on a Gaudi design and is super heavy so it was another challenge to get home. But it links me back to that time and is a reminder that there is a lot more in the world to see. OCTOBER 7, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 31

WHERE I GREW UP

efore he became famous for dressing the heads of fashionable Melburnians, milliner Richard Nylon was a budding experimental musician and a boy with a butterfly net. One of four surviving children of Shirley and Tom Neylon, he left the “e” in his surname behind in his home town of Hamilton, in Victoria’s Western District. “People were forever misspelling my name and it made it easier to remember,” he says. Hats would become Richard’s medium of expression. But as a child the sheep farmer’s son displayed endless curiosity about the natural world. “I really thought I was going to be either a bee or a butterfly when I grew up and was forever at my mother to make me wings. She made them out of brown paper or newspaper, anything that approximated wings would do the trick. I used to jump off the tank stand into the sandpit, hoping one day I would take off,” he says. “There was a park over the road from where we lived and in summer and spring

Honey the possum lived with the family for 14 years, fed on roses and her favourite honey. Richard was six when Shirley Neylon moved with the children from the farm in Casterton to a solid Californian bungalow in Haig Street, Hamilton, after her marriage ended. She went back to school, got her HSC and went on to study art in Warrnambool. “My mother is Lady Capable; she’s very practical, which is good. Had she been the same emotional ilk as me, God knows what would have happened.” Recognising Richard’s early creative interests, his mother relaxed the rule about the children not touching her sewing machine, which she used to provide extra income for the family. “She was forever saying

ngela Raven is in her sixth year as a maths teacher at Fintona Girls’ School, where she has taught Pramitii Ranganathan, now in year 10, since she was in year 7. Pramitii was quiet in her first year but loves maths and has blossomed with Angela’s help and encouragement. Pramitii also enjoys legal studies, politics, reading, writing poetry, fencing, playing the flute and cooking. Maths is a big focus at Fintona and next year 51 of the school’s 53 year 12 students will complete one or two types of maths. ● ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au

STUDENT PHOTO HERE

(MICHAEL RAYNER)

’ve been teaching for nearly 30 years. I’m really committed to girls’ education. I love teaching maths. Fintona is a great school. We have small classes. This means that you can give so much extra individual attention to the girls. It’s so much easier to get that working relationship happening. I think you get the best out of the students if you know the whole student. Maths is really embraced here and the girls are encouraged to do it. Pramitii has always had a passion for maths. When she first came, she found it hard because she was just focused on an answer. She had to go back to the basics and really understand the importance of solving problems, setting out her procedures and thinking clearly. I tried to work with her to understand what made her tick and identify her strengths. Sometimes it’s hard to see what your strengths are. Pramitii is a very complex thinker. Because it took me longer to gain her trust and know her as a person, we felt it was much better to keep her with me for a while and, as a result, we developed a strong connection … we have a good relationship. My strengths are in the areas where she needed help. I’m a structured and organised person. Hopefully that’s rubbed off. As a teacher, it’s rewarding to help. It is interesting reading Pramitii’s reports; you can see the journey that we’ve taken together in terms of what I’d written and how her maths has developed so incredibly, and the process and the logic and her ability to formulate questions and her resilience. You could transfer a lot of the skills we’ve been able to work on for the other classes. Organisation would be a big one … thinking logically … problem solving … being able to read questions carefully and interpret … interpersonal skills. The relationship that Pramitii and I have developed has evolved. Now she answers way more questions than she’d ever ask. Pramitii really enjoys learning and has lots of “aah” moments. Every time she had success, I taught her to embrace that moment and enjoy that experience rather than just move on. Education is so fast paced nowadays. Taking the time to slow down, stop and acknowledge what you’ve done is good. It gives you that self-belief. ●

PRAMITII SAYS AYS … A

love maths. I’ve always had an interest in maths. I like learning a lot. There’s so much to learn out there. I feel learning empowers you and it opens up a lot more doors. In year 7, I never spoke in class. In class, outside class, I was just quiet. It was a completely new environment for me. Miss Raven helped me develop a lot more confidence and more self-belief. I used to give up very easily and Miss Raven persisted with telling me I should not give up. And then I started talking. Generally, I’m not a person who trusts people very easily. Miss Raven definitely gained that with me quite quickly. Having the same teacher really helps. There has to be a high level of understanding and co-operation between both the student and the teacher. If you have the same teacher all the way it really helps because you always have the basics covered; you’ve already gone through the first step. Miss Raven’s a wonderful teacher. I can completely say that I trust her. I really do. She’s just always been there. She also has the best notes ever. Knowing that she was there when I needed her gave me peace of mind and structure. I was nervous of a whole new school environment, but Miss Raven had this calmness. Slowing down the whole mental process helps in so many subjects, not just maths. You have to actually slow down and understand what the questions are asking you, and maths really does teach you that it’s not just about the single answer. That’s important. You also need to have a clear understanding of what you are doing. You get marks for method. Knowing how you get there is just as important as getting the answer. I’ve been lucky to have Miss Raven. I was initially overwhelmed; I never used to say a word in maths. I guess I feel more confident now. Every single teacher here is amazing. They explain things without actually just saying them. They will take the time to explain why you came to the result. I do have a few things singled out for a career. Something in the legal system, finance, scientist, mathematician, who knows? I’ve come so far in maths that it would be a shame just to leave it, it really would be a shame. ● OCTOBER 7, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 35

beyond the classrooms S chools are increasingly connected to their communities, locally and beyond. Whether students volunteer at a local nursing home or join an international welfare project, community projects complement academic learning and offer students valuable life experience. Raising funds for charities, organising concerts,

volunteering and travelling overseas to help welfare organisations are all part of the modern school experience. Good schools are producing students not only ready for university, but prepared for life’s challenges and motivated to help those less fortunate. Many schools now have fruitful relationships internationally. St Monica’s College in Epping

Let’s talk

For 10 years, Strathcona Baptist Girls Grammar School has welcomed its parents and local Canterbury families to talks about everything from resilience to drug use. The popular evenings started in 2005 with psychologist Dr Megan Chapman’s Growing Great Girls talk. Four or five have been held each year since. Among the topics have been developing positive mindsets, social media, alcohol awareness, body image, raising optimistic daughters and linking oral language and literacy skills. Up to 100 school parents and locals attend the sessions, which are hosted by

says some people attend every session and all school parents and locals are welcome. She says the most popular topics tend to be those offering practical strategies to build resilience and life skills. “Every year we run at least one session addressing the latest information on how best to protect your daughter on the internet, and these sessions always draw a very keen audience with lots of questions,” she says. Terri says this year’s drugs and alcohol session was a positive way to start a conversation around a difficult issue and offer strategies to keep young people safe. “There is no doubt that raising children has become more challenging, and these discussions

provide the opportunity for parents to keep up with information while developing a strong framework that builds a strong relationship of trust with their child.”

Everyone benefits

Each year, Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School’s year 12 students host a benefit concert for a charity or cause of their choice. They organise the concert and fundraising initiatives inside and outside the school. All aspects of the four-week event involve teamwork, dedication, determination and motivation by the whole group, which co-ordinates the performance, lighting, merchandise, ticket sales, public relations, raffles and catering.

Past student Jessie Taylor initiated the first event in 1999. That year the girls created a Concert for Kosovo to support Balkan conflict refugees. Cohorts have since raised extraordinary amounts for a wide variety of local and international causes and charities. The Class of 2014 raised funds for So They Can, a not-for-profit organisation supporting the education and empowerment of African communities. The 2013 group assisted The Y-House Foundation, which works to help keep young people with physical disabilities out of aged care. This year’s cohort supported headspace and raised more than $33,000. In 2010, the school also established The Cooerwull Centre for Leadership and Service,

which encourages all students to strive towards achieving personal goals and to contribute to the wider community. “Leadership and service enhances our students’ personal development and growth,” says principal Dr Heather Schnagl AM. “I am very proud of Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School students and staff who regularly support many organisations and causes.”

HAVING A HEART

When hundreds of homeless people enjoy breakfast and lunch at Sacred Heart Mission in St Kilda, they might be served by Mentone Grammar Students who volunteer to help prepare and serve the meals. The groups of four students have visited five times a year for the past 10 years and help with meal preparation and dishes. The students learn about those who don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Sacred Heart Mission serves free breakfasts and lunches 365 days a year in its dining room

that can accommodate hundreds of people who are homeless, socially disadvantaged or isolated. The service creates a sense of community and helps people to reconnect with society. More than 20 volunteers are needed a day and much of the food is donated. Mentone Grammar students enjoy making a difference at Sacred Heart and elsewhere. Year 9 Greenways Campus students have a strong connection with the Brotherhood of St Laurence and attend its Urban Camp. Through observation, discussion and activities students delve into social inequality, injustice and social exclusion. They engage with Brotherhood clients and contribute to the welfare of disadvantaged people.

Rapping for charity

Maverick Newman had no idea what he was starting when he asked St Michael’s Grammar School principal Simon Gipson to rap in a video for the school’s annual Merry Month of May fundraisers. The year 12 student wanted

to raise more money for this year’s charities, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), HeartKids, One Girl and Shave for a Cure (Leukaemia Foundation). Maverick and fellow year 12 prefect Gabe Phillips filmed the video with Simon, teachers and students. “Not only was Mr Gipson keen, but he wanted to make the rap a music video and put it online,” Maverick says. “My friend, Ossian Shaw, assisted by choosing a sound that suited the feel of what we were trying to achieve. Creating a rap video about charity is surprisingly hard – you have to talk about heart disease and diabetes!” The reaction was huge. “We had articles published on the Herald Sun and The Weekly Review websites, a live on-air interview with Channel 7’s Sunrise and thousands of likes and comments on social media,” Maverick says. “The video … reached dozens of countries, including the UK, the US and even Zimbabwe!” The Merry Month of May raised $18,605. ●

Supporting the sisterhood

For more than 30 years, St Monica’s College staff have sold icy poles and soft drinks to junior campus students at lunch time to raise money for Catholic sisters working to empower women and girls in Pakistan. St Monica’s has so far raised $200,000 for the Union of Presentation Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who help underprivileged Pakistan communities. Teacher Pamela Coyne started the program, which colleagues Cley Anderson and Denis Zucchet took over in 2005 when she retired. The money contributes to teacher wages, water purification, text books, uniforms, school fees, boarding school furniture, remote village health programs, women’s empowerment programs, shelter construction, food packages and medicines. St Monica’s has also donated funds to help families affected by floods. Each August, Pamela hosts a Presentation Sisters member in Melbourne for a month. The sister becomes an honorary staff member. Denis says the sisters enjoy learning about Australia and modern education practices. “They use this knowledge to improve operating and educational outcomes across their schools,” Denis says.

Pamela and Denis visit Pakistan as part of the project, which enables St Monica’s to achieve its social justice objectives while educating students about the plight of Pakistan’s girls and women. “The [visiting] sister speaks to various groups across our college community to share her experiences and enlighten us about the situation in Pakistan for her order as well as her students,” Denis says.

Finishing a half-marathon is no easy feat. But this was just part of the challenge for 18 Melbourne Girls Grammar students, who raised $32,000 to help Cambodian victims of human trafficking, domestic violence and exploitation. After choosing to support the HAGAR project, which restores lives devastated by human trafficking and severe abuse, the year 10 and 11 students flew to Cambodia with three teachers last December for the demanding Angkor Wat Half Marathon. Before leaving, they sought sponsorship and raised money with raffles, morning teas, a fun run, casual clothes day and community talks. One group secured $6000 after addressing a St Kilda Football Club True Believers coterie lunch. HAGAR Australia rebuilds the lives of trafficked and abused women and children in Cambodia, particularly through the Phnom Penh Catch-up School, which re-integrates children into school. It also runs commercial enterprises. The Melbourne Girls Grammar

cambodian partnerships Since 2011, Our Lady of Mercy College has partnered with Jesuit Services Cambodia (JSC) and the people of Santepheap village in Cambodia. Among the highlights has been a new school building for the village’s 600 students. JSC builds schools as part of its work to empower forcibly displaced persons. Santepheap houses some of Cambodia’s poorest people. The rural village was set up in 1998, when 140 families resettled after the peace treaty between the Khmer Rouge and government forces. It remains a heavily land-mined area. Over four years, OLMC funded a three-room all-weather school building for 300 children, a playground, landscaping, rice and book scholarships. “This year we continue to raise funds for the building of two playgrounds in other village schools, the establishment of five school libraries, provision of bicycles for students and the funding of Advocacy on Air programs,” says OLMC social justice co-ordinator Catherine Burke. Some OLMC staff and students have visited the school and say it was enriching to meet such warm, welcoming and positive people. “Santepheap is a simple school where nothing is taken for granted,” Catherine says. “Our gift, of what we would see as the most basic of facilities, has been life-giving and energising.” ●

students ran the marathon and visited the HAGAR project, where they learned about the program and dined in its restaurant. The school’s deputy principal (curriculum and innovation) Chris McNamara, says the girls spent a year developing the project while juggling school work and extracurricular activities. The school hopes to run the service project every two years. “The girls were really blown away by the whole experience,” he says. “Most of what we do, we try to build in that service component

so that the girls understand the bigger issues in the world.”

Strengthening relationships

Charles La Trobe College hosted five students and three staff from Nanjing Zhonghua High School in July as part of a sister-school relationship established in 2013. This followed a visit by 18 Charles La Trobe students and two staff members to China in 2014. Both trips saw students attend classes with their host sibling, live with a local family

and enjoy cultural sight-seeing. The Chinese visitors developed sibling relationships with Charles La Trobe students who stayed with them. “Our students were very excited to be able to show their Chinese siblings some of our culture and further develop their relationships,” says Charles La Trobe College principal Jason Bek. “Most had stayed in contact via email from their visit to China.” The project aims to strengthen relationships, understanding and appreciation between students in both countries. It supports the teaching of Mandarin at Charles La Trobe and English at Nanjing, while developing globally engaged students with the skills to operate effectively across different cultures. This year Charles La Trobe College became a Confucius Classroom, which means its sister school relationship, largely maintained by email and Skype, is formally acknowledged and supported by the Chinese government. “This is a further connection between us, La Trobe University, who have a Confucius Institute on their Bundoora campus, and the Chinese government,” Jason says. “The purpose of this recognition is to further support and develop our relationship with our Chinese sister school as well as our students’ awareness of Chinese culture.” ● ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au

solid values After 150 years, Wesley College retains its community feel

t was a lonely start for Wesley College’s first student, Frederick Binks. In 1866, young Frederick spent several nights alone in the school’s new St Kilda Road boarding house before more students joined him. Next year Wesley turns 150 with more than 3100 students across three campuses. The sesquicentenary celebrations will involve thousands of students past and present as well as the school and wider community. Back in the 1860s, Wesley educated the sons of Melbourne’s elite. Since it became coeducational in 1978, girls have played a prominent role in campus and community life. Since its earliest days, Wesley has produced well-known high-achievers and community contributors, from prime ministers Robert Menzies and Harold Holt to historian Geoffrey Blainey and former Australian netball captain Sharelle McMahon. More recently, actor and old boy Samuel Johnson rode a unicycle around Australia to raise $1.5 million for breast cancer research after his sister, Connie, was diagnosed with the disease.

Planning for the sesquicentenary started in 2013. Rather than being seen as “a pat on the back”, the celebrations will focus on the great sense of community Wesley College has developed over 150 years. They also aim to re-engage with college alumni. Events will be held locally and internationally in cities where Wesley and its former students have a presence, such as Singapore, Shanghai, Hong Kong, New York and London and will include: Saturday March 5 \ Celebrating Glen Waverley’s Golden Jubilee Wednesday March 16 \ The Wesley College 150th Oration delivered by alumni Professor Geoffrey Blainey Thursday March 24 \ Young alumni celebration in Ormond Hall Tuesday April 19 \ Celebrating 150 years of Wesley Sport

The valedictory service and dinners and alumni reunions will continue as normal, with special

recognition of the sesquicentenary. Towards the end of 2016 the new Learning in Residence buildings will open at Glen Waverley. While much has changed, Wesley’s first Prospectus and Annual Report in 1866 still resonates – with girls added to the mix: “The object of this Institution is to provide a Classical and General Education of the highest order, such as to fit a young gentleman for mercantile life, for the public service, and for matriculation in the University.” And later: “The College will be conducted upon the principles of the Wesleyan Church; the constant aim being to give a liberal and Christian education.” Community has always been an important focus and Wesley has strong connections with locals around all its campuses including Clunes, where its popular year 9 residential program is based, and also the Yiramalay/

Wesley College has since continued its commitment to innovation in education, encouraging every student to be prepared for the challenges and opportunities of life after school. The principal, Dr Helen Drennen, says the sesquicentenary is the perfect time to celebrate the school’s success and role in the community. “Over the years, there have been many changes,” she says. “With coeducation, Wesley has grown to be a more inclusive school, developing significant educational partnerships across Australia and internationally.” ● ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.wesleycollege.net

at home and abroad Community is at the heart of what Wesley College students do. Glen Waverley head of campus Peter Dickinson says fund-raising is a big focus each year at all three city campuses and Wesley’s rural programs at Clunes and the Yiramalay/Wesley Studio School in the Kimberley, Western Australia. “Our students are always keen to volunteer for annual events such as the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, Jump Rope for Heart, Red Cross Door Knocks, Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal, Shave For A Cure, the APS Foundation, or to run cake sales or sausage sizzles,” he says.

“However, it is the actual service activities that tend to have the most lasting impact on our students. There are numerous examples where our students contribute their time and effort and generally support social service in action activities. “These examples include, but are certainly not limited to, compiling birthing kits for developing countries or care packs and blankets for Melbourne’s homeless; knitting scarves; donating cellos to Afghanistan; helping out at food shelters such as FareShare; providing music at retirement and aged-care centres and hospitals; supporting micro-loaning; clothes drives and food and book collections.” ●

The Haileybury Institute

Teaching is a caring profession and Haileybury exemplifies this with a program helping other schools to reach their potential. The Haileybury Institute opened in 2009 to promote sound teaching and learning practices in schools, particularly those in remote and disadvantaged areas. The institute’s director, John Fleming, who is also deputy principal (Junior School teaching and learning), says it provides school improvement strategies in all mainland states. “It has a particular focus on disadvantaged schools as this supports Haileybury’s goal of social justice,” John says. “The consultancy focuses on modelling effective teaching, coaching staff, running workshops and developing strategic improvement plans.” John visits schools to mentor and support their leadership and staff, often with

Haileybury teachers. Remote communities helped include Kununurra (Western Australia), Port Augusta (South Australia), Bamaga (Cape York, Queensland) and Woorabinda (central Queensland). “The attendance rate at all these schools has soared, as has the students’ performance,” John says. “Community pride in these schools has risen dramatically and has provided a boost to the local community in many ways.” John says improved student behaviour and success also make schools easier to staff. “This is significant in terms of stability and sustainability. The community (also) gains well-educated students ready to join the workforce.”

Twice a week, its members tutor disadvantaged students living in Prahran community housing with their literacy and maths.

wore armbands and brought stationery and lunch-box items for Assist 2 Learn, which helps children affected by domestic violence return to school. Caulfield Campus students also ran a fund-raising casual clothes day focusing on indigenous charity Children’s Ground, wearing red, black or yellow for the Aboriginal flag. The community service committee cooked burgers and organised a handprint art activity. The initiatives are among many that students drive each year to promote cancer awareness and help organisations such as Ardoch Youth Foundation, Shave for a Cure and the Australian Red Cross Blood Service. This year’s focus has been “respectful relationships” and what this means for the wider community. Father Bob Maguire visited Wheelers Hill

to help launch the theme and challenged students’ thinking with his experience and perspective. Caulfield Grammar principal Reverend Andrew Syme says this year’s focus has been on encouraging students to be respectful of each other and conscious of how this affects others at home and beyond. “Community Service at Caulfield Grammar School teaches students to look beyond their immediate community to see how they can make a positive difference to those around them,” he says. “It’s about reminding us that with respect, understanding, compassion, inclusiveness and acceptance comes strong relationships with others,” he says.

Advocacy & action

Advocacy and action locally and overseas are an integral part of student life at Marcellin College. Each house within the school’s

pastoral system has its own social justice focus. As well as prayer, advocacy and action, students join ministry work through year 10 and 12 religious education classes. They volunteer with the St Vincent de Paul Soup Van, Melbourne Youth Justice Centre, the Little Sisters of the Poor, Bell Bardia Soup Kitchen and the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital. The REMAR Youth Ministry program is introduced late in year 9 and runs through years 10-12. Year 11 students can also apply for the school’s Cambodian immersion program, where students and staff volunteer in Pailin with a Marist community supporting some of that country’s poorest children. Old Collegians are also involved. This year Marcellin introduced an immersion program for past students aged 18-25, and three travelled to support a local Marist school project that helps educate refugee children, Three2Six Holiday Program, in Johannesburg, South Africa. “At Marcellin, we strive to support all members of our community to see the face of Christ in others, and to be the face of Christ for those in need,” says assistant principal (mission) Carolyn Young. “It is in being open to people, in the reaching out, in the not giving up on people, in the recognition of the dignity of all people that we open ourselves up to the sacred. As a proud Catholic and Marist community, we strive with courage and virtue to work for justice.” ● ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au

private enclave of 11 luxury double-storey, three-bedroom residences has been released for sale on a leafy, residential Hawthorn East street, priced from $1.9 million. Architect David Lee, principal of K2LD Architects, took inspiration from Italian streets and European living when he designed Collection XI for 11 Mowbray Street. David and former Goldman Sachs executive director Dean Lefkos co-founded Chapter Group in 2010 to deliver projects of architectural distinction and relevance. They are the project developers for Collection XI. Three of the development’s street-facing residences have dramatic vaulted roof lines and there are eight butterfly-roofed houses, four either side of a landscaped street, which are hidden from sight. Surrounding gardens, designed by landscape architect Jack Merlo, offer year-round interest and privacy. “We wanted to express the joy of living in these residences, to make every experience uplifting, comfortable and joyous,” David says. “There’s a skylight over the bath for looking at the sky and the stars, highlight windows draw extra light through bedrooms and we have used a soft palette of natural materials. “Some contemporary design is stark

and minimalist and like living in a gallery – we didn’t want that here. We wanted to emphasise comfort, quality and the luxuries of life.” The architects selected leading Italian furniture manufacturer Molteni&C to supply and install integrated joinery throughout, including Dada kitchens, walk-in wardrobes, entertainment units and study desks. All ground levels have a large open-plan living, dining and kitchen area opening to a

timber terraced courtyard. Each house has a powder room and a concealed laundry. The eight larger houses also have spacious butler’s kitchens. Three-metre ceilings and a wall of glass doors to the courtyard accentuate the space. A timber curtain screens the floating stairs, which have open walnut treads and lead to three bedrooms and two bathrooms. All residences have individual underground garages with large storage spaces. There’s

an option to fit a 2000-bottle EuroCave wine cellar. The eight larger residences each have a private lift from the garage to their upper levels. Interested buyers can experience the full-sized living area, Dada kitchen and butler’s kitchen, main en suite and entrance at the Collection XI display at 11 Mowbray Street. ● LIZ McLACHLAN lmclachlan@theweeklyreview.com.au

The kitchens feature Dekton reconstituted stone benchtops and splashbacks with matt lacquered joinery and timber shelving. The cooktops are set into the island bench. ●

Luxury is the last word in the Collection XI bathrooms, fitted by Rogerseller. The main en suite’s floating vanity is topped with reconstituted stone, twin basins are sculpted into the vanity top and there is timber veneer storage below. Marbled tiles line the floors and walls and a double-glazed skylight allows for bathing under the stars in the freestanding bath. Heated towel rails are included. The double walk-in shower has dual overhead and handheld fittings and a frameless glass screen. Daylight filters through a tall timber-battened screen. ●

Landscape architect Jack Merlo has created the surrounding gardens with a central laneway and leafy retreats. The land form allowed for cars to be hidden, unlike in many townhouse developments, which are dominated by driveways and garages. Jack has chosen magnolias, Japanese maples, crepe myrtles and climbing jasmine to complement the houses, define pathways and create secluded retreats. The design also features a long reflection pool and arbour entrances to individual residences. ●

The selling point

State-of-the-art aged care – premium, fully serviced “ageing-in-place” residential suites.

COPPIN SUITES special promotion

(SUPPLIED

elbourne’s latest state-of-the-art aged care takes senior living to a new level and is attracting international attention. With well-appointed interiors, expansive views and terraces, an extensive art collection, the latest technologies, an executive chef rotating seasonal menus and a City of Melbourne address, Royal Freemasons’ Coppin Suites presents more like premium apartment living than aged care. Royal Freemasons specialises in providing aged-care services for Victorians. It developed the exclusive Coppin Suites in response to unprecedented demand for a superior “ageing-in-place” service in inner-city Melbourne. Coppin Suites takes up the top level of the four-storey Coppin Centre, designed by Australia’s leading senior living design practice, ThomsonAdsett. Newly opened, Coppin Suites has 18 aged-care suites and apartments, some with a kitchenette and lounge area and many with views of the city skyline or the roof garden. The residents share two spacious and elegant lounges, a dining room, library and two extensive terraces. Royal Freemasons chief executive Felix Pintado says the Coppin Suites were designed and developed with careful analysis of customer requests and consideration to giving people the greatest sense of dignity, security and ability to lead a rewarding life. Inquiries have come from as far afield as China and Malaysia, with aged-care providers internationally striving to improve amenity and service levels. “When Coppin Centre opened in 2011, we were immediately asked for larger private

spaces. People were looking for something closer to what they had enjoyed at home. We are customising care,” Felix says. “Our significant point of difference is that Coppin Suites feels like a beautifully designed and appointed one-bedroom home, rather than what is usually associated with aged care. Our interior designer selected soft furnishings, wood panelling and decorative features to emulate the quality of a premium hotel. “Coppin Suites allows people to transition to residential care with hotel-style amenities

and services in a homely environment.” There’s Wi-Fi throughout Coppin Suites, along with Foxtel and web-to-television services including Netflix. Suite phones have video screens, enabling residents to Skype family and friends. Residents can make selections from rotating seasonal menus, and find out about daily activities on their televisions. Large screens in shared spaces also feature menus, quizzes and puzzles, and the daily calendar. ● LIZ McLACHLAN lmclachlan@theweeklyreview.com.au

COURT TO COV CO ET 12 MY MYAMBERT AMBERT AVENUE, BALWYN, 3103

s suburban streetscapes go, this is one of the best. A quiet court with only 12 houses, all of them brick. Most have high gabled roof lines. Front gardens with established trees and lawns are erupting into spring colour: purple irises, bluebells and the crimson of camellias contrast with the green grass. It could be a postcard of a British village. But it’s Balwyn. Myambert Avenue, to be precise. Near the top of the court, a roundabout has a massive eucalypt. Like the houses, the tree is heritage-listed. This imposing double-storey red-brick house looks over the court, with views of gardens and trees from every window. It has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, formal and informal living areas, three outdoor entertainment areas, a swimming pool and excellent off-street parking. The house, along with the rest of the avenue, is part of the Reid Estate, known for its high-quality interwar architecture. Houses in the estate had similar-sized blocks and used materials and uniform setbacks to create a visual unity that largely remains. They were built in the 1930s, when Balwyn was a fashionable new suburb. War might have been on the horizon when the house at No.12 was built in the late 1930s, but money was still plentiful. The original copper downpipes and a copper “pagoda” style roof over a smaller rear section demonstrate a commitment to top-quality materials. The vendors, artist Meredith Stone and her husband, Mark, an industrial designer, called in the award-winning MGS Architects to renovate the house within its existing heritage footprint. The brief was to make the most of the natural light, while respecting the wealth of original features. The result is a modern classic with contemporary touches that make it ideal for the 21st-century family. The red-brick façade, with its terracotta-tiled and shingled roof, remains untouched. “We fell in love with the romantic façade and the English village atmosphere of Myambert Avenue,” the couple say. “Then we came to love the street, which was fantastic when

the children were young. They used to ride their bicycles around and around the roundabout.” The entry is awash with light from the windows around the front door and above the staircase. The formal rooms off the entry are flexible. Doors can be opened to create large entertainment spaces or closed if needed. The couple also took their inspiration from Piet Boon, one of the Netherlands’ most talked-about designers. His timeless designs are celebrated throughout Europe. The house has new, wide and pale European oak floors, new electrics and new hydronic heating. The original panelled hardwood doors are painted French grey. Dutch brushed stainless-steel door furniture ensures continuity between old and new. Gutting the original kitchen and a warren of small rooms to create an open-plan kitchen and meals area was part of a recent renovation. Bringing new meaning to “designer kitchen”, Mark Stone collaborated with Italdesign Giugiaro to create a bespoke stainless-steel stove with a six-burner cooktop, two ovens and a teppanyaki grill. It’s a massive piece of engineering and design. Behind the kitchen, the walk-in pantry has impressive storage and benchtops. Two rectangular Moooi light fittings hang over the island bench, with more Moooi lights throughout the house. Bifold doors open to the north-facing deck and garden, while a second outdoor entertainment area off the family room includes a pool surrounded by granite pavers. Up the carpeted staircase are the five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom at the front of the house has a sitting area, dressing room and contemporary en suite, with its original terrazzo floor. Original marble benchtops feature in the second bathroom. A renovated terrace upstairs makes up the third outdoor entertainment area. With a full stainless-steel kitchen and fridge, seating and dining area, this is yet another entertainment option in a house where choices abound. ● MARIA HARRIS property@theweeklyreview.com.au

In a truly picturesque street, the grandeur of this two-storey family house is concealed behind a private and understated façade. Inside, there are a multitude of zoned living areas, complementing four spacious bedrooms on the two levels. High ceilings and timber floors feature throughout the house. The peaceful main bedroom is zoned at the front of the house, with a walk-in wardrobe, a private deck and a stone-tiled en suite with freestanding bath. Beyond a nearby skylit study, the house opens to an open-plan dining and living area with a fireplace. Up a few steps, sweeping views to the north-east can be enjoyed from the family and meals zone, the Caesarstone kitchen and a covered outdoor barbecue area. There is a second uncovered outdoor area at the other end of the family room. Downstairs there are a rumpus room and three bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and two with direct access to a pool. There are also two bathrooms (handy for the pool), a storage room and a wine cellar. ● JULIAN HEALEY

Anything but ordinary, this outstanding and updated family house is bursting with energy. Built in 1953, it now presents modern spaces with timber and parquetry flooring, downlights and neutral tones throughout. What’s perhaps most impressive though, is the consideration given to the entertainment areas at the rear of the property. Back here, you’ll discover a floodlit tennis court, heated pool and spa and spacious pool house with bedroom, bathroom and bar. Inside, the main house begins with a carpeted bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite, while along the hall is a spacious and modern bathroom, a laundry and a partially zoned formal dining room with open fireplace. From here, attention turns to the largely open-plan meals and living area and stone kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. Warmed by a gas fireplace, this space extends to a deck through bifold doors. There are three bedrooms upstairs, each with a built-in wardrobe and one with an en suite. In addition to a family bathroom, there’s an impressive balcony and retreat. ● JULIAN HEALEY

54 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ OCTOBER 7, 2015

SOUTH YARRA \ 1/38 MURPHY STREET A rare development on an expensive hill; two apartments share a site that once would have been host to nine or 12 yellow or brown brick walk-ups. The front half of this grand, high and light-filled ground-floor unit is open plan, yet each area is delineated. French limestone floors set the colour scheme. The drawing room has a study annex lined with shelves and a desk. It has french doors to a northern garden. The formal dining room faces another garden and dining terrace. It is sheltered from the street by a high wall with a water feature. In the southern part of this glamorous space, a well-fitted U-shaped kitchen overlooks an informal dining area. This area also has access to the front walled garden. A wide hallway leads to the rear of the apartment. Here are two bedroom suites, both with northern orientation and garden views. The main has a dressing room and its bathroom has a double shower and marble-clad walls. The second suite has a wall of wardrobes and an equally elaborate bathroom. Further touches of luxury include a powder room and zoned air-conditioning. Two secure car spaces are reached from a rear door. The style of the building is an exotic combination of a Tuscan villa and a Second Empire townhouse. It is hard to believe it was built more than 10 years ago; its charm and quality are perennial. ● NEIL CLEREHAN

KEW \ 34 EDGEVALE RO ROAD OAD The phrase “chef’s kitchen” gets a new twist at this Kew house, where one of the owners is a chef. Chef Leone Bates drew on her experience in Melbourne restaurants to design her home’s family-friendly kitchen. Miele appliances – an oven, steam/oven combi, warmer drawer and the biggest Miele induction cooktop available – ensure the next owners can also be the stars in the kitchen. The lovingly renovated and extended Edwardian house marries generous accommodation, classic style and contemporary features in one of Kew’s best-known streets. A granite-topped island bench separates the kitchen from the dining and family room, while three sets of french doors open the informal living area to the outside. All the desired elements are here: a family room filled with natural light, doors to a deck and garden for indoor/ outdoor entertaining. Three bedrooms off the central hall include the main with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. Another bathroom, featuring oversized beige tiles, has a corner spa bath and shower. Upstairs, a bedroom is a welcome surprise. Painted white, with sloping ceilings, doors to a Juliet balcony and views over the rooftops, it has the story-book charm that children love. The house, on a corner block, has off-street parking from Stansell Street. ● MARIA HARRIS

CANTERBURY \ 2A ALEXANDRA RA AVENUE Abundant accommodation and the latest in contemporary conveniences go hand-in-hand at this near-new, three-level French provincial-style house in Canterbury’s golden mile. The house has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a powder room, library, formal living room, open-plan kitchen with butler’s pantry, full-sized laundry and informal meals and living area. The good life continues outside with a terrace, solar-heated swimming pool, lawn and garden, while the basement has a home cinema, garaging for six cars and a room that could be a gym, office or studio. All this is on a relatively low-maintenance block of nearly 600 square metres. The house sits beneath a mansard roof. Inside, oak herringbone parquetry floors stretch from the formal front to the informal family hub, where an open fireplace is the focal point. The kitchen has a white Calacatta island bench and splashback, with an underbench wine fridge and Miele and Ilve appliances. There is another cooktop, dishwasher and fridge in the butler’s pantry. All bedrooms are upstairs. The main, with its marble-finished en suite – double shower and freestanding bath – and walk-in wardrobe, is the standout. The house has automated lighting in all bathrooms, surround sound, a security system, remote-control blinds and marble fixtures. ● MARIA HARRIS

Just off High Street and minutes from Glen Iris station and the Monash Freeway, this is a plane tree-lined, quiet street where the blocks are generous and the houses have enormous street appeal. Built in the early ’80s, this single-level townhouse is just one of four on a large subdivided block. Inspired by modernist architecture, the floor plan offers rooms of great proportions, which open up to the surrounding garden. To the right of the wide entry hall is a spacious bedroom and a double garage with lots of storage. Opposite is the carpeted formal living room, which has a travertine fireplace and a north-facing dining room. The spacious kitchen provides direct flow to the sun-drenched outdoor area that caters for entertaining. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, while the third bedroom adjoins the skylit main bathroom. The indoor and outdoor areas are well connected by an abundance of windows looking out to the low-maintenance garden. ● FRANCESCA CARTER

This classic double-brick townhouse, just one of two, offers elegant, sophisticated spaces amid a well-planned landscape. The decorative steel balustrades of the house’s façade complement a balanced mix of red brick and grey render. A long, narrow walkway gives rise to a sense of anticipation. At the front is the formal living room, which has high ceilings and tall west-facing windows. Carpeted floors and a gas fireplace create a cosy and warm ambience. Stairs lead down to the sunken open-plan living zone, where there is a great treed aspect. All the finishes, fixtures and joinery come together to form a seamless palette, one that includes dark oak floors, black steel-framed windows and a neutral backdrop of whites and warm beiges. Glass doors spill out to the north-east-facing deck that has outdoor cooking facilities. Upstairs there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. With a theatre room, double garage and security, this house is the epitome of luxury living. ● FRANCESCA CARTER

MALVERN 20 McKinley Avenue 4

Classic Victorian elegance An inspired approach to adding modern spaces to classical rooms means this superb Victorian´s extension remains entirely in touch with contemporary preferences - just as its period aesthetics offer perennial appeal. A refined sitting room is matched by an equally refined dining room which serves in style as a north facing bedroom. Three additional bedrooms, including a main bedroom with ensuite and walk in robes, surround a generous central bathroom and a study/home office. To the rear, the enduring excellence of the extension is evident throughout its open plan spaces overlooking an elevated deck that introduces the landscaped north easterly garden. Off street parking, moments from Claremont Avenue shops.
