Re v ie w \ mou t hing off

when the Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, and his drawn and anxious-looking cabinet members appeared on the third day of the

earthquake crisis all wearing the blue chambray uniform of a working man, a cultural notion deeply embedded in Japanese society was on deliberate display.

The uniform of “the group” – any group, from school kids to employees to a bunch of elderly tourists – was always an intriguing aspect of life in Japan for my husband and step-children during the many years they lived there. It speaks of united purpose, the importance of that purpose being publicly recognised and of the inclusive and exclusive nature of Uchi-Soto (us and them). These were the guys in control; the “group” was running things now.

Except, that like so much in Japanese life, appearances can be deeply deceiving. The Japanese government has very much wanted to be in control – particularly following the disastrously bungled and delayed rescue effort following the devastating 1995 Kobe earthquake – but it too has been deceived by what now appears to have been an almost unforgivably mishandled response to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant failure.

The Japanese invariably display the most phenomenal grace, control and stoicism in times of great pressure and disaster, and in this case it has been deeply humbling to watch it. The displaced are in emergency shelters with no heating and no running water; those evacuated from the nuclear-affected zone have even less. The news services outlined the principles that would help everyone get through this time together, and as they politely listed the virtues of not pushing, not crowding, not complaining, I shook my head in wonderment that they needed mentioning at all. As a close friend who still lives there concurred, there was not going to be any looting – why would the Japanese even think of doing that?

But this calm and ready acceptance can also infuriate me. Not because I wish they were otherwise, but because the Japanese have been let down by officialdom during crises before, and part of me wishes they – or perhaps just one of them – would break out in anger and call their leaders to account.

From the 1996 E coli. 0157 food-poisoning scandals – in which almost 8000 people were infected from canteen lunches in Osaka, and three students died – to

the inept response to the Kobe earthquake, officialdom has been disorganised, opaque and sometimes even negligent. For those in the cold and deprived north-east of Honshu, trust must come very hard.

Governor Yuhei Sato of Fukushima prefecture finally let rip, saying his people had been left with nothing after being ordered out of the Fukushima region: it is difficult to impart just how unusual this public outburst was. The sight of the Emperor Akihito speaking – speaking publicly! – was so shocking as to chill my blood. So the situation is really this bad.

The greatest betrayal, however, might turn out to be by the operators of the Fukushima power plant – if it turns out, as so many suspect, their contingency plans and first responses were delinquent. For me, however, that disappointment will be more than offset by the immortal sacrifice made by the brave 50 who have stayed behind to fight a disaster that might yet have dimensions imagined only in nightmares. \

� e new centre stands to represent the future of cancer care, where an emphasis on complementary therapy opens new possibilities in treatment of the disease, and where wellness is sought through whatever means possible.

But with construction of the building suspended due to what critics have called a “$40-million black hole” following a change in government, the ambitious project may never be realised.

Newton-John has lent her name to the new centre, which is being built in Heidelberg under the auspices of Austin Health. She brings with it her particularly Australian brand of philanthropy, an ability to throw considerable weight in the fund-raising arena, and a personal story.

“I know from my own experience that the emotional journey needs to be supported along with the best of clinical care,” she said ahead of the Australian premiere of Xanadu the Musical.

For Newton-John, the centre’s point of di� erence is its focus on an awareness of wellness as the “destination of the journey”.

“It’s important now to embrace every valid resource in our quest to get beyond disease and return to wellness. I was fortunate enough to have access to complementary and wellness therapies years ago and it helped me immensely when I went through my own breast-cancer journey.”

� e entertainer has been described by former Victorian premier John Brumby as a “very persuasive” negotiator. She in turn called Brumby’s election promise to commit $44.7 million to the centre one of the most special moments in her life, reportedly rewarding him with a kiss on each cheek at the o� cial funding announcement.

But with that funding now out of play since a change in state government, the centre faces the task of winning over a di� erent set of politicians, and this time a kiss from Newton-John might not cinch it.

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

non-melanoma skin cancer) are prostate,

colorectal (bowel), breast, melanoma and

lung cancer.

 ‘‘Cancer” and “wellness” are two words you rarely see together. But a new focus in cancer treatment in hospitals across Victoria may be about to change that.

In 2013, the Austin Hospital aims to unveil an Australia-� rst state-of-the-art cancer and wellness centre that, when completed, will treat the “whole” person – a philosophy that combines traditional care with complementary therapy.

Named a� er its patron, performer and breast-cancer survivor Olivia Newton-John, the centre will incorporate acupuncture, massage and aromatherapy into the recovery routines of patients. Art and music therapy, as well as group therapy and relaxation courses, will also be available for those coming to terms with one of the most challenging times of their life.

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

Labor MP Jenny Mikakos earlier this month urged the Coalition government to continue to fund the internal � t-out of the centre’s three wards, which will house 92 beds and a � oor for research. But Victorian Health Minister David Davis remains uncommitted to the cause, and has condemned Labor for poor � nancial management of the project.

“� e previous government did not fund the next stage of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre, leaving a black hole in the project,” he said in an emailed statement. “Funding for this next stage will need to be considered as part of normal budget process.”

� e Austin, with Newton-John’s help, will now need to promote a public conversation that is still in its infancy. It will need to ask is complementary care the beginning of a revolution in patient support and healing, or is it simply an exercise in distraction from a relentless deadly disease? And if it’s the latter, is this a good thing?

TRICK OR TREATMENTAccording to Austin Health CEO Brendan Murphy, the centre plans to house 32 haematology beds, 32 oncology beds and 29 palliative care beds and a “dedicated space for wellness”.

“� e centre will be very integrated. One building, one concept,” he says. “We want to promote a positive, holistic outlook.”

If this integration is successful, the Austin could take a leading role in the use of alternative methods of care in cancer treatment.

“ ‘Complementary care’ is very di� erent to ‘alternative medicine’. We are very against the charlatans out there, the ones who say, ‘just meditate, and your cancer will go away’,” says Dr Murphy. “We’re a major Western public hospital.”

� is shi� in attitude of hospitals towards embracing complementary care hasn’t grown out of nothing. One in� uencing factor has been the increase in the amount of studies into the e� ect of complementary care on the well-being of cancer patients. Evidence-based research by major institutions, such as the Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) in New York, is slowly peeling away the “experimental” label of these therapies and paving the way for more integration. »

»“We’re not trying to say that music therapy is going to cure cancer,” says Dr Murphy. “We’d be very concerned if people got that impression. When we say that there is evidence to suggest it works, it means that there is evidence to show it reduces a patient’s stress or pain, not that it eradicates their cancer.”

� ere is movement in this direction, however. A study published this month in the medical journal Psychosomatic Medicine showed that stress management not only eased a patient’s anxiety but also improved their immune response in the days a� er an operation.

But studies such as these are only a small step towards mainstream approval and – more importantly – government funding. � ey also ask the question: what price tag can be put on what is essentially a distraction?

“� e money we’ve received from the government is not supporting (the wellness part of the centre). � at’s why we have deliberately raised money for this purpose,” says Dr Murphy. “It’s a new area, so the government, rightly, doesn’t see it as high a priority as building hospitals or � nding beds for patients.”

� e Austin isn’t the only hospital to take the plunge into complementary care. Professor John Zalcberg at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre says his own researchers are working towards a report on the bene� ts of integrative therapies and the role they can play in cancer treatment.

“� is is something that people are interested in,”

WHICH CANCERS ARE THE MOST COMMON?

PROSTATE CANCER 19,403 cases

BOWEL CANCER 14,234 cases

BREAST CANCER 12,670 cases

MELANOMA OF THE SKIN 10,342 cases

LUNG CANCER 9703 cases

Professor Zalcberg says. “Integrative therapy and supporting patients through cancer is something people feel is an important issue.”

Professor Zalcberg is quick to accept that there might be a perception in the community that funding is being directed to complementary therapies rather than proven clinical treatment. But he doesn’t believe this is actually the case. “We all want to prevent cancer and reduce su� ering. Clinicians work towards that, researchers work towards that, and people in integrative therapies are working towards that. We all have the same objective, and I think there is room for everybody.”

Newton-John also asserts that the two are not in competition with each other: “It’s called complementary for a reason. It helps and aids in healing. It’s not to replace it. And it is the person’s choice to use it or not – but it is all positive and supportive,” she says.

THEATRE FOR THOUGHT

Xanadu: The Musical is supporting the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre by donating to the centre proceeds from charity performances in each capital city across Australia.

More than half a million dollars is expected to be raised through charity performances and a further $500,000 through general ticket sales, with $1 from every A-reserve ticket being donated to the centre. \

countries. Dr McNally said the survival rates were in part because of a “vast di� erence’’ in the public pro� le and charitable support of ovarian cancer compared with that of breast cancer.

In Victoria there are presently hundreds of consumer-support and advocacy groups, including peak community-funded organisations and national consumer organisations that work within each state.

While the centre plans to deal broadly with all cancer types, it will be forced to consider the issue of how funding is channelled to the di� erent cancer types in Victoria against the occurrence rate, and whether or not to counteract this. However, Professor Zalcberg says this shouldn’t be a consideration.

“Most of these groups are grassroots organisations that chose to focus on a speci� c type of cancer because it’s easier to achieve their objective like this.”

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

re� ected in the decision by the current state government on whether or not to fund the centre. What is clear is that debates over di� erent treatments help assuage one concern – that the search for a cure we are no closer to � nding remains ongoing.

“Complementary treatment is not in any way replacing treatment,” says Dr Murphy. “It provides space where patients can be supported through what is a very traumatic journey.”

Or take it from the face of complementary treatment herself, Ms Newton-John: “� e word ‘wellness’ alone creates positive response in a person going through cancer – and yoga, massage, music therapies to name a few – are all non-invasive and positive supportive treatments. It makes the patient believe – yes – I can get back to that!” \

objective, with so many di� erent people working under the one roof? “It will be a challenge for the people who administer the centres to make sure we are covering all of those things – that something isn’t getting le� out,” says Professor Zalcberg. “Nobody wants that.”

As a celebrity who overcame breast cancer in the ’90s, Newton-John has experienced � rst-hand and also given light to the cancer journey. � roughout her advocacy work and singing career, the narrative of survival has never been far away. But some in the medical profession have questioned the value of this narrative and expressed concern that large lobby groups are using it to dominate funding for certain cancers over others.

Earlier in the year, leading Royal Women’s Hospital oncologist Dr Orla McNally expressed concern that high-pro� le lobby groups such as the National Breast Cancer Foundation were “monopolising” funds away from smaller but equally serious cancer types. A recent study published in the medical journal � e Lancet showed that Victorian women with ovarian cancer were less likely to survive than those in other states and (I

S ilver Lake in Los Angeles (at the western end of Sunset Boulevard) has long been where it’s at – from the abundance of great eateries, hip

boutiques, cool rock’n’roll venues such as Spaceland where the Foo Fighters turned up to play a secret show last month, and hip young designers opening studios in its quarters – it comes as little surprise that LA born-and-bred fashion label Wildfox also calls this precinct home. Silver Lake is, a� er all, where singer and fashion icon Gwen Stefani bought a piece of real estate and where the famous Casbah Café serves her co� ee and has celebrity customers such as Patricia Arquette and So� a Coppola.

So when friends Emily Faulstich and Kimberley Gordon put their creative thinking caps on and decided to start their own T-shirt label, a Silver Lake studio was just the perfect home where art meets fashion, and where indie meets high-end dreaming.

� rough Wildfox, Faulstich and Gordon fuse their love of all things girly such as sleepovers, dreams about fairies, vintage T-shirts and a passion for the loose and baggy.

In 2007, Wildfox was born and set about capturing the message that life is pointless unless you live it cheekily, carefree and make sure you have lots of fun along the way.

Wildfox might be a celebrity favourite (worn by Katy Perry, Lindsay Lohan and even Victoria Beckham is in a T-shirt on the February edition of Glamour magazine) but there’s plenty to adore about this mini empire

that takes a lesson or two from the American Apparel marketing gurus.

It designs great T-shirts – with fun slogans – that are usually oversized, distressed and casually sexy. It uses tall, leggy models in its photo shoots, creates o� -kilter

campaigns that mix tacky with fashionable, and designs everything

from tanks, leggings, dresses and denim for an everyday look. In fact its campaigns draw attention like a Spike Jonze music video clip might (think Bjork or Beastie Boys) – they’re � ashy, vibrant and quirky.

For the � rst time in Australia, Wildfox is available at selected stockists in Melbourne. Until now we’ve only been able to adore its range at www.wildfoxcouture.com, but even a� er staring at their its site packed with tempting items, it doesn’t ship to Australia.

Viva La France is its debut collection here (taken from its White Label) and tells the story of Marie Antoinette and her sisters, where decadence and scandal reigned supreme.

� ere’s a fabulous range of tank tops, T-shirts and dresses in a collection inspired by romance, excess and beauty. � ere’s a touch of French innuendos and phrases drawn on garments for fun, hand-sketched drawings and sarcastic references to Marie Antoinette with slogans such as “Drama Queen”, “Gossip Sucks” and “O� With Her Head” thrown in for a laugh.

Other great pieces that the label has created in the past include the ever-so-cool skeleton

hoodie, distressed skull T-shirts and baggy track pants (even though it doesn’t dare call them that on the website).

� e label captures urban rebellion like few can and shows you that wearing a T-shirt doesn’t need to be as plain as it sounds.

With a campaign slogan that goes something like this: “� ou shalt not worship boys, only fashion”, we think it’s sweet without being sickly and say “oui” – get into this before your friends do. \

Re v ie w \ in t eRv ie w

the questions and answers are over, the tape’s off, we’ve talked about David Hicks and Guantanamo Bay (she covered his story for years and wrote a book about him) and the serious biz of being Washington correspondent, and now

what Leigh Sales wants to talk about is Keith Richards and his stunning autobiography, Life. “Cracking,” she says. I hadn’t pegged Sales as someone this interested in Richards, but, as it did to many readers including me, the book had her by the throat. “There’s a line where they’re talking about addiction and Keith says ‘I chose drugs, Mick (Jagger) chose flattery’,” she says. “If I could have Keith Richards (as an interview) for the first year of 7.30, how great would that be?”

Richards would indeed be a cracking early guest for her new hosting role on 7.30 (they’ve dropped the Report in line with other changes). And I’m thinking Sales, with her honey-instead-of-vinegar approach, would get some good meat out of the louche rock’n’roll pirate, starting with “How come you’re alive?” and working up to how he came to fall out of a palm tree and crack his skull.

So it’s a change of name, a change of host (there are two now, the excellent smooth operator Chris Uhlmann being the other) and, perhaps most noticeably, a generational change. Kerry O’Brien, who was at the helm of the show for 15 years and was inextricably linked to it, might have driven Richards back to drugs with his elongated questions, which Malcolm Turnbull addressed at a journalism conference in Sydney last year. (Turnbull described O’Brien’s questions as “mini editorials” and said it was a “very poor technique if the objective is to elicit information from the interviewee. If, on the other hand, the object is for the interviewer to show off and spar with the interviewee, it works well.”)

Sales approaches her interviewees differently: a short, snappy question posed with a smile. “Kerry and I have really different styles in interviewing,” she says. “I ask quite short questions … I’m obviously a more chatty, warmer on-air personality. Sometimes I ask incredibly rude questions and people don’t realise it because I’m smiling or they feel more at ease because I seem like such a nice girl but I’ve just asked ‘Are you a mass murderer?’.”

Sales is robust company, and not afraid to go for the laugh. You got a taste of her personality watching her on Lateline – not to mention her excellent work as Washington correspondent for the ABC – but up close and in three dimensions you get a strong idea why she was able to (reportedly) beat such broadcast heavyweights as Tony Jones, Virginia Trioli, Annabel Crabb and Fran Kelly for one of the most prestigious jobs in Australian media.

Was she sweating on the decision? “Yes and no,” says Sales. “No in that I really liked working at Lateline, I was really happy there; it was my third year last year and I felt like I was really getting on top of what that job involved. These jobs come up so infrequently – Kerry did it for 15 years – you’ve got to throw your hat in the ring. It was the top job, a great gig. I guess I was sweating it out, although it wasn’t like it was my life’s goal.”

SaleS departmentShe says she might seem like “such a nice girl” to interviewees but there’s a steel fist in that

velvet glove. The new co-host of the aBC’s 7.30 speaks to peter WIlmOtH.

It’s a new show, but Sales doesn’t want people to think we are “throwing everything out and going from scratch”. “I’d like to be getting out more and relocate the show. In sitting weeks Chris Uhlmann will be in Canberra doing interviews in person. That’s a change from where the show very much revolved around Kerry.”

Sales is feeling the pressure of being at the helm of such a prestigious and agenda-setting program. “I do feel the pressure of it, particularly coming in off the back of someone like Kerry who’s had so much dominance and done it for so long. If I could have the reputation that Kerry’s got when I’ve done it … to do it for 15 years, that is exhausting.

“I’d see Kerry every day because we’d be in make-up together, and I never saw Kerry phone it in. He was always on and engaged and interested, and I really admired that about what he did. And the creativity and rigour that he brought to it, which is a really hard skill. They are big shoes to fill.

“I feel really excited and humbled by it … If you’d said to me 15 years ago, when I was kicking around as a junior reporter … who do you think Kerry O’Brien’s successor will be and you said “It’s you’, I would have thought ‘What’s the path to that?’ I wouldn’t even be able to see that. So that freaks me out. But I feel like I can do it, I feel like I’ve worked really hard in my career and I’ve done a lot of different things and I’m a hard worker and I know that I can, with Chris, do a good show.”

The lead-up to the show’s debut on March 7 wasn’t all smooth sailing. O’Brien farewelled his audience on December 10 last year, and 7.30 took its sweet time to get on air, meanwhile missing some huge stories – the Queensland floods (it was out of ratings period), the revolutions in Egypt, Bahrain and Libya and the Christchuch earthquake. These are massive worldwide stories and it was left to Heather Ewart to do the hosting in a caretaker role.

Mark Day in The Australian gave the ABC a nice tickle. “They (Sales and Uhlman) are the nominated hosts of a revitalised 7.30 Report … but they are nowhere to be seen. They’re off air, twiddling their thumbs, away from the action, while somewhere deep in the bowels of the ABC carpenters and painters come up with a new set … This is a poor performance from an organisation given to making big claims about being at the centre of the national debate.” Anyway, they’re up and running now.

Sales grew up in Brisbane and as a young girl had a bent for journalism. “Like most kids, I probably went through a stage where I thought being a vet would be good, or a cruise director. By grade nine I pretty much

settled that I wanted to be a journalist because I liked writing and reading.”

What was she like at school? “Oh, square. Vice-school captain. Big stuff-up on their part, clearly. Didn’t do the numbers properly. I did well at school. Bookworm, not sporty. Terribly unco-ordinated.”

She didn’t do the backpacking thing. “I came from a working- to middle-class family. It wasn’t like mum and dad had money to say ‘Go and have a year off’. Dad (didn’t finish) school, mum had, but neither had gone to uni, so there was a very big emphasis on education. Uni was a top priority, and you’ve got to do well.”

She studied journalism at Queensland University of Technology. “I came out of uni during the recession we had to have, so the competition for jobs was so fierce, and everybody was so terrified of not getting a job that I don’t think I had any friend who took a year off after uni to go backpacking. It was all about could you be one of the six people out of 340 that got a job, basically.”

Sales applied for but didn’t get a cadetship at Brisbane’s Courier-Mail. She instead found a position at Channel Nine in Brisbane on a local show called Brisbane Extra, a magazine-style news program Channel Nine launched in each capital city. “I was the most junior of junior dog’s bodies, answering the phone, helping research stories, rolling the autocue, answering mail, absolutely everything, overnight shifts, listening to the scanner in the newsroom.”

S he applied for a job at the ABC as a D grade and lucked in. She did six months in Brisbane in 1995, then, aged 22, went to bureau on the Gold Coast. “It’s a great news beat. Schoolies week.

Crazy drunken behavior. Crime. There was a riot at the council, there were good environmental stories, a plane crashed into the ocean.”

In 2001 Sales went to the US, where she spent four years as the ABC’s Washington correspondent. “I loved it. It was fascinating. I got there just after 9/11 and left six months after hurricane Katrina. It was non-stop – wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, David Hicks, Guantanamo Bay.”

She has been married for 15 years to Phil Willis, an engineer who back then worked for a company called Honeywell in Philadelphia (he is now working on animation for George Miller’s Happy Feet 2). “He needed to be sponsored for a job and Honeywell didn’t have an office in Washington, so Sales often took a two-hour trip on the train to Philadelphia to see him. “It was hard but it was also great because we got to know two American cities really well.”

Sales loved the work, even if it chewed up her personal life. “It was an incredibly stimulating job. You sort of had no life because you were on call all the time and whenever something happened you’ve got to go to work, but it was so interesting that you didn’t mind that. It was always an adventure, whether it was some tiny little town in Iowa or in LA for the Oscars, it was always great. And Americans were great talent.”

She spent years covering David Hicks’s incarceration at Guantanamo Bay and, back in Sydney, wrote Detainee 002: The Case of David Hicks, published in 2007 (The Age called it “energetically researched” and

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

14 The weekly review \ March 23, 2011

“astutely paced and absorbing”). She also wrote On Doubt, published in 2009.

She scored a gig at Lateline, where she shared the hosting duties with Tony Jones when Jones was hosting Q&A on Monday nights. It’s where Sales’s journalistic skills have been on show, with her snappy questions and, let’s face it, un-Kerry O’Brien-like charm. Given how adept politicians are now at avoiding the question but trying hard to sound like they are not (John Howard remains the godhead of this), will be one of Sales’s biggest challenges. “I don’t want to give away my secrets but there are several ways that you try and get around it,” Sales says. “First you can interrupt … or sometimes I’ll repeat what they just said back to them and say ‘We understand you’ve got to move Australia forward, why don’t we put that aside, you don’t need to go through that again’, and then it makes it difficult for them to keep repeating the same line.

“Or sometimes I’ll invoke the audience to remind them that they’re not just annoying me, that there are hundreds of thousands of people watching who feel they’re not getting an answer, so I’ll say something like ‘Look, the reason I’m going to ask you that question again is that my audience at home would like to know’ … And that puts in their mind I’m doing this because there are a lot of voters watching.”

Sales is versatile. She writes a fortnightly blog called Well-readhead, mostly about books and reading, and appears on the ABC’s The Drum website and News Ltd’s The Punch opinion website.

Riffing on the new trend of the disgruntled throwing shoes at media conferences and other events, Sales showed her sense of humour in a piece she wrote in The Spectator Australia about the town hall-style forum she hosted that featured US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with what’s said up here today, I’d ask you to keep your shoes on,’ I advise. “Unless they’re designer ladies size 10, in which case throw them to me.”

She enjoyed working with Clinton. “She was very warm. When we were out the back and she walked out of the elevator I felt like ‘Wow, you’re a real person’. I thought she worked that audience really well in a way that you don’t see many Australian politicians with this level of skill – at being able to connect with a room.”

Sales has played the piano since she was 10 and is a keen reader. Right now it’s two books on US politics. She likes American novelist Philip Roth. “Even though he seems to write the same thing over and over. It’s either a young Jewish guy not getting any sex or an ageing Jewish guy mourning that he no longer gets any sex.”

Sales has the sort of humour that the old Kerry O’Brien Report – sorry, 7.30 Report, could have used. With her talents and Uhlmann’s undoubted journalistic grunt, 7.30 might become required viewing again. \

PACK OF JOKERSPATRICK MILLER \March 31-April 10 \ Tuesday-Saturday 7pm, Sunday 6pm \ Trades HallUp-and-coming Melbourne comedian Patrick Miller takes on his � rst solo show, after two successful stints with his comedy troupe, Vigilantelope. The ’Lope has made a name for itself combining music, physical comedy and general silliness with an impressive knack for characters. This year’s show sees Miller � aunt his acting chops as Archibald Wheeler, a “slightly deluded Digger” who, allegedly, once dacked Adolf Hitler back in 1945. As Archie, Miller offers an absurd, character-based take on 21st-century living. \

DAVID QUIRKMarch 31-April 24 \ Tuesday-Saturday 9.45pm,Sunday 8.45pm \ Portland Hotel – Gold Room Bleak. Existentialist. Disturbing. None of these are words usually or easily applied to your average stand-up, but David Quirk’s shows tend to have an abrasive edge that helps lift them well above the average. Quirk is able to navigate the trickiest of subjects – necrophilia, suicide (to name two past examples) – to surprisingly hilarious effect. His new show promises to tackle past sins and made-up anecdotes, before revealing the truth behind the boy who once ate a wombat. \

« KITTY BANGMarch 31-April 21 \ Tuesday-Saturday 7pm,Sunday 6pm \ Imperial Hotel Kate Boston Smith (aka Kitty Bang) won plaudits for last year’s The Rise and Fall of Kitty Bang. Kitty may be vivacious, but she’s also a disaster area, prone to plunging herself and

those around her into uncomfortable chaos. Boston Smith has more than enough energy to carry us along her well-structured narratives, but is further helped by an appealing mix of music, dancing, stop-motion animation and collage. \

VACHEL SPIRASON March 31-April 24 \ Tuesday-Saturday 7.15pm,Sunday 6.15pm \ Melbourne Town HallA master of physical comedy, Vachel Spirason can easily keep an audience entertained for half an hour, armed with nothing more than a single white glove. Comparisons have been made with a young Rowan Atkinson, but Spirason probably has more in common with Marcel Marceau. Inventive, dark and wonderfully funny, the show combines mime, clowning, dance and music to weave a tale that promises to be quite unlike anything else on offer. \

PACK OF JOKERSLAWRENCE MOONEYMarch 31-April 24 \ Tuesday-Saturday 9.45pm,Sunday 8.45pm \ Melbourne Town Hall – Regent RoomLawrence Mooney has been making people laugh for a very long time – and usually for the right reasons. Last year’s show Make The Girls Laugh was as broad-ranging as it was entertaining, as he guided audiences through an autobiography full of cringe-worthy humiliations. The self-dissection continues this year, as Mooney spends an hour or so trying to work out exactly what he wants from life. Riches, love or just a good bag of doughnuts? Much of the best stand-up arises from this kind of navel-gazing and, luckily enough, Mooney is such an endearing character that any tour through his psyche is bound to be enjoyable. \

« HANNAH GADSBYMrs Chuckles: March 31-April 24 \ Tuesday-Saturday 7pm, Sunday 6pm \ Swiss ClubCelebrates NGV’s 150th: April 2-23 \ Saturday 4.30pm \ NGV InternationalA key rule of sitcoms is that the funniest characters rarely see the joke. As a rule, our pleasure comes from laughing at them, instead of with them. Given her deadpan, unsmiling delivery, the award-winning Hannah Gadsby could soon be in line for her own sitcom. If she can � nd the time, that is. The droll comic has spent the past � ve years hurtling about the globe in an

astounding succession of shows, including the award-winning Meat – the Musical. This year, alongside her solo show Mrs Chuckles, Gadsby combines her twin loves of stand-up and art to present a journey through the NGV, offering unique (and perhaps not entirely accurate) perspectives on the collections. \

LAWRENCE LEUNGMarch 31-April 24 \ Tuesday-Saturday 8.15pm,Sunday 7.15pm \ Trades Hall The Box Hill-born star of ABC TV’s Laurence Leung’s Choose Your Own Adventure has long been in touch with his geekish side. His oft-espoused love of Star Wars, in tandem with the impressive fame he’s accrued in recent years, recently saw one of that franchise’s comic books name a Jedi knight after him. In past years, he’s turned his hand to breakdancing and Rubik’s Cubes, but for this festival, Leung is exploring his disappointment at living in the actual future. Where exactly are those jetpacks, anyway? Sweet, nerdy and really rather funny, this is likely to be one of this year’s big hitters. \

DANNY McGINLAYMarch 31-April 24 \ Tuesday-Sunday 9pm \ � e Upstairs Lounge @ Hairy Little Sista Given our current obsession with all things culinary, it’s a no-brainer that a comedy chef would set audiences alight. (Thankfully, not always literally.) Danny McGinlay has been popping up on panel shows all over the place, refusing to let his lack of cookery skills get in the way of his passion for joking about good food. His inventiveness in the kitchen – roasting chickens with napalm, cooking chops in a toaster – is matched only by his talent for surprising, often ridiculous, humour. His onstage experiments into catering might not be for everyone’s palates, but it’s all in very good taste. \

ns« DAVID THORNTONMarch 31-April 24 \ Tuesday-Saturday 8.30pm, Sunday 7.30pm \ Arthur’s Bar at RosatiPrahran comedian David Thornton has been a busy lad of late. No stranger to Nova FM or The 7PM Project, Thornton has performed to much acclaim at home and abroad. His 2010 festival show, A Different Type of Normal, (which included an amusing tour through his favourite typefaces) quickly sold out, and there’s a good chance this year’s will do the same. Still, Thornton isn’t happy with all that and seems to have decided he’d rather be Bruce Lee. Despite an apparent fondness for martial arts and violent-yellow Lycra, Thornton’s style is gently self-deprecating and unlikely to offend anybody. \

W here t o l i v e \ cov er s t ory

l ower Plenty is known for its large blocks of land where families can spread their wings. In some parts of the suburb, the houses are

more sprawling estate than suburban home – with facilities to match. In the

elite Cleveland estate, the houses speak of money – and lots of it.

This one, in the very pretty Lakeside Drive, occupies 5036 square metres.

In fact, it could almost be a suburb in its own right … all it lacks is the postcode.

How about this for starters: four to five bedrooms, en suite, study, powder room, formal and informal living and dining rooms, vast kitchen, rumpus room, games room, outdoor entertainment terraces, north-south tennis court and swimming pool. And the whole lot is set in park-like gardens.

But it goes one better. This property is one of only three in the street with its own ornamental lake. Fed by a stream that begins in the nearby Heidelberg Golf Club, the water trickles over rocks and under a Japanese bridge until it ends at the lake. A family of ducks at the water’s edge completes this idyllic landscape.

The first thing you notice when you enter the street is the absence of unsightly overhead wires. With the wiring underground, street lights on dark-green light poles are an elegant feature of the streetscape.

A sweeping entrance from Lakeside Drive leads to a turning circle and plenty of parking near the entrance to the house, which has a broad façade with dormer windows protruding from the corrugated-iron roof.

Built nearly 14 years ago, it has been owned by the one family, who bought it soon after it was finished.

The children have grown up and have flown the coop, and now the parents are preparing to follow.

They say they will miss the views of the garden at every turn and from every window.

The house is beautifully positioned on its site with an excellent proportion of house to land.

It is also an ideal property for large-scale entertaining – inside and out. Formal rooms at the front open off the central hall, which in turn leads to the informal family hub of kitchen, living and dining zone. The tiled kitchen, with its sweeping benchtops, overlooks the meals and sitting area, where a wall of bi-fold doors can be used to close off the living room from the rumpus room.

But it is the games room that wins in the entertainment stakes. It is used for playing pool, watching the giant screen or simply having a quiet drop at the polished timber bar. Why go to the pub when your own bar has a commercial fridge and equipment for beer on tap? A mirrored wall behind the bar features glass shelving for the top-shelf liquor.

A wall of bi-fold glass doors opens from the bar/entertainment room to a very large timber deck, which is a recent addition.

With a water feature on one wall and heaters overhead, this deck looks like the place for year-round entertaining.

It looks down over the infinity-edged swimming pool and its wide sandstone-tiled surround.

Down on the pool level, paths, some bordered by dense, clipped hedges, meander through the garden to its lower reaches. But for all the winding and turning, the garden is mostly level and a joy to explore. There are gum trees and clumps of annuals interspersed with native plants.

Back inside again, the floorplan has the parents’ wing on one side of the living hub and the children’s bedrooms on the other.

The parents’ suite includes a dressing room and sumptuous marble en suite with spa bath.

At the other end of the house, three bedrooms and a bathroom are off a hall that leads past the laundry to the games room. A door at the end of this hall opens to the garage.

For space and an environment that is made for entertaining, this house delivers the goods. \

Fast facts: Large house, open � replace, powder room, study, granite kitchen, rumpus room, huge games room, en suite, dressing room, wet bar, timber entertainment deck, manicured garden, in-ground swimming pool, mod grass tennis court, ornamental lake, extensive storage. LOWER PLENTY 16 KILOMETRES NORTH-EAST OF THE CBD Lower Plenty has a lower density of urban dwellings compared with nearby suburbs, including many large homesteads on substantial blocks of land set back from the main roads.

These properties contrast sharply with the relatively rural roads, some of which are unsealed. In some parts of the suburb, horses still graze in paddocks and there are post-and-rail fences to maintain the rural theme. The suburb is bounded by the Plenty River in the west until it joins the Yarra, which forms the southern boundary.

The Heidelberg Golf Course in Lower Plenty has a long and distinguished history dating back 75 years. The club developed out of two other golf clubs – the Eaglemont Golf Club, at Eaglemont, and the Yarra Yarra Golf Club, at Rosanna. In 1928 the prime minister, Stanley Bruce, opened the new club, to much fanfare. Today the membership includes golfers aged from 11 to 93, the course has been redesigned and the new clubhouse is also popular for weddings, business breakfasts and functions.

Properties such as Yarrambat’s Roseview Homestead don’t come up very often. Sure, big new houses on modest, gardenless allotments are a dime a dozen the closer you are to Yan Yean Road. But a short

trip down Bannons Lane takes you to the Yarrambat of yesteryear; a colonial-style homestead set on a rolling 2½-hectare block. It has the sort of garden that reminds you of your childhood. A big shady oak (with swing attached) is surrounded by rows of olive and fruit trees and beds of roses. There is an almost lake-sized dam � ush with trout. It even has an island accessible by walk-bridge. The property has three fenced paddocks and is ideal for horse lovers, with Yarrambat Pony Club just a short trail-ride away. The great outdoors are matched by a house that presents the best of country living. The � oor plan is divided into three wings. The � rst includes an entrance hall lined with exquisite jarrah parquetry, a luxurious lounge with � replace, two home of� ces and the main bedroom with dressing room and en suite. The central living hub is ideal for large-scale entertaining. Cook up big country meals in the oversized kitchen to serve here or out on the covered outdoor sitting area. Four bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate powder room occupy the � nal wing. There is just as much car accommodation with a double garage and ample parking around the circular driveway. \ LIAM CARTER

This near-new four-bedroom family residence with mountain views is in what is arguably the semi-rural suburb’s best position. Sitting pretty off the crest of Old Diamond Creek Road, the 837-square metre

property is close to routes to Eltham and Greensborough and within the coveted St Helena College zone. The house was built as a spec home three years ago by local master builders the De Pasquale brothers. The owners were able to dress the interiors themselves. Tasmanian oak � oors line the split-level living spaces and the CaesarStone and Smeg kitchen. Even the front and back gardens have been landscaped. The four bedrooms and two bathrooms are upstairs. There is a home of� ce and a sunken lounge that looks out to the Yarra Ranges. Dinner guests also enjoy this view from the raised dining area. Casual meals can be enjoyed in the expansive family hub or out in the covered outdoor entertaining area. \ LIAM CARTER

With parklands behind and along one side of the house, it’s hard to imagine this could be in a housing estate. Then again, this isn’t your average housing estate. It’s Springthorpe, in Macleod. Parklands occupy

30 per cent of this site. No.35 Bella Vista Close has established birdlife and resident kangaroos as neighbours, and views of mountains in the distance. Built in 2007, this Inform Design house sits on the crest of a hill. Stunning views are matched by stylish interiors. High ceilings and Italian ceramic tiles give the upper and lower living hubs a clean, modern � nish. Up top, the kitchen is all Smeg and CaesarStone, and � oor-to-ceiling multipane windows add character and � air. The backyard has been professionally landscaped. The split-level � oor plan includes the main bedroom with dual dressing rooms and en suite, rumpus or fourth bedroom and two more bedrooms and family bathroom for the kids. \ LIAM CARTER

It could be the waterfall cascading into the 9x5-metre pool or the palm trees dotting the large and private backyard, but there’s something a little Club Med about this place. No.14 Nerreman Gateway may not

be next to a tropical beach, but there’s much to satisfy the escapist here. Tucked away in the elite Nerreman Estate off Karingal Drive, the 958-square metre property has city views across the hills, which are best enjoyed from the main bedroom. The front lounge and dining rooms are raised from the entrance and wrapped in large single-pane windows. High, softly lit ceilings, heavy pillars and plush white carpets help make any event a � ve-star occasion.

Architect designed around the particular needs of the current owners, the nine-year-old house has a luxurious children’s wing. Each bedroom has its own entrance hall to help the kids stay out of each other’s hair. But they also share a large rumpus, wet area and balcony. The family bathroom has twin vanities, spa and separate powder room. If you forgot about being on holiday, there is a gymnasium downstairs by the remote-controlled double garage, which has more than enough room for boats and jet-skis. \ LIAM CARTER
