I f you thought the Olympic Games were about teamwork, sportsmanship and individual valour – well, yes, they are. But that’s only on the field: one

of the most important contests takes place off-stage but well and truly in the public eye – and ear – and that’s the sometimes mortal combat between host, co-host and guest commentator of the Games.

This year’s London Olympics have been utterly compelling so far for what the various broadcast teams have revealed about ego and the ability to play nicely.

What has fascinated me is what I believe I hear in the dynamics of the various commentary teams for the television-rights holders – Foxtel and Channel Nine – and never has it been more true that on TV there is nowhere to hide … your ego.

First – confirmation of something I’m sure you’ve always suspected. If you think you’ve ever detected the faintest whiff of dislike or even outright contempt between co-hosts, then you are generally right: they probably can’t stand each other, and there’s very little that even the most professional of presenter can do to hide that. So if you think you’ve heard impatience, exasperation and even downright resentment from always-gracious former Olympic swimmer Susie O’Neill while she tries to deal with the bombast and

condescension of her co-host, Ray Hadley, I’d lay you London to a plastic grandstand seat that you’re right.

The Nine/Foxtel swimming commentary team of Hadley, O’Neill and Rebecca Wilson has been sometimes excruciating to listen to as Hadley has talked over the top of the women, called the swimmers “girls”

(this of women who could probably pick him up and hurl him in the deep end without raising

a sweat) and generally marginalised a pair of women with expertise and knowledge to spare. The rare on-camera shots of the three of them, looking uncomfortable together, have been priceless.

The ability to play nicely as a duo or a team is a very, very rare one in television. The giant egos

that inhabit TV land find it awfully difficult to share a single space, and as for sharing the precious spectrum that is broadcast time, well, stand back – the elephants will stampede.

You could hear this most basic of competitive instincts at work during the opening ceremony on Channel Nine when Eddie McGuire repeatedly talked over Leila McKinnon, often wouldn’t let her finish a sentence without feeling the need to jump in with another breathless observation of the chief export of whatever country’s team was next entering the arena.

Such naked on-air competition despite the

world-record length of the broadcast itself: there was plenty of airtime to go around!

A shining example of making it work is the wonderful pair of Olympic equestrian Lucinda Green and radio sports caller Dwayne Russell and their terrific hosting of the horse events. They work as a team, play to and complement each other’s strengths and expertise. They let each other speak. I suspect they like each other too, and that, as well as their sheer joy at watching this sport, is contagious.

As one who shares the broadcast air, I’m prepared to be judged by the same standards. It is as rare as gold to find a broadcast partner who can read your thoughts, anticipate and support you while you can do just the same for them, and I am immeasurably fortunate to work with someone as smart, funny and generous as Michael Rowland. If this seems too self-serving, just try to detect any animosity, any at all – you will not find it.

But if at any time the on-field performances during the remainder of these Olympics become tiresome, then turn your attention to the high-contact sport taking place in the commentary box.

There may be few winners out of it, but the battle is fascinating. \

WHAT

DID NEXTJACKIPETER

WILMOTH talks to Jacki Weaver

about her 50-year overnight

success.

Short and to the point:Jacki Weaver as the title character (above) in Alexandra Schepisi’s short film, Lois.(Supplied)

I t’s the early hours in New York City and Jacki Weaver has, at last, retired to her hotel room. It’s been a big night. She’s just turned in another performance in the Sydney Theatre Company’s production of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya

on Broadway. Tom Hanks and Liv Ullmann have come backstage to congratulate Weaver and the rest of the Aussie cast.

After moving through the autograph seekers at the stage door, she’s gone out to dinner with friends, and now here she is, talking with me. “I’m a little bit mellow because I’ve been out to supper after the show,” she says.

After a 50-year acting career in Australia (she tells me that anniversary is in November) you don’t have to pause too long to work out why Weaver is so loved in this country, and coming to the phone in the middle of the night does nothing to tarnish that reputation. Watching her extraordinary rise to world fame in the past couple of years has made us all a little bit mellow.

At 65 (“At my great age”, she says with typical humor and self-deprecation or maybe just honesty) no one should be surprised at Weaver’s energy level. She has become a well-respected and even much-loved player in the multibillion-dollar film industry in the US, with major celebrities queuing up to say hello. She’s the hottest thing in the room right now. So, after 50 years, she’s an overnight success.

And right now she is excited to be performing with such Australian actors as Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving and Richard Roxburgh. “Cate Blanchett is so respected and loved here, it stands to reason,” Weaver says. “The audiences are incredible, they leap to their feet and cheer. It’s pretty good compared to the laconic reaction you get in Australia. I love Australian audiences, but we seldom get standing ovations, except for musicals.”

The reaction to the production has been extraordinary. “It’s a very hot ticket,” Weaver says. “It seats 2400 and it’s been sold out for ages.” And the critics have loved it. The New York Times described the production as “glorious”, saying the director had

US. “It’s great being an Academy Award nominee,” she says, “Even though I didn’t win the Oscar or the Golden Globe, I did win seven or eight other American awards and nominated for 12 altogether. It gets the attention. They take this very seriously in America because it’s a multibillion-dollar industry.

“That led to my getting offers from several agents and offers from several managers and I accepted a couple. I’ve had many, many scripts coming to me.” One of those scripts has her playing Robert de Niro’s wife.

Since Animal Kingdom Weaver has made three films including her Hollywood debut last year in The Five-Year Engagement, produced by Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up). She enjoyed her turn in the comedy. ‘That’s a wonderful bunch of young men. They’re so funny and energetic, lovely people.”

One of Weaver’s post-Animal Kingdom projects back home is a short film – eight minutes and 20 seconds to be precise – called Lois, directed by Alexandra Schepisi, who last year received warm reviews for her role in her father Fred Schepisi’s adaption of the Patrick White novel The Eye of the Storm.

“Alex Schepisi is incredibly talented,” Weaver says. “I’d seen one of her short films and I thought it was terrific. She sent me a script and I thought it was really interesting and clever and original and I thought ‘Yeah, I’m in straight away’.

“Alex is gorgeous, so bright, so clever, so inventive. Her husband Jeremy Rouse

delivered “what may be the most profoundly physical, and physically profound, interpretation ever of this 1897 play”.

The play’s success is just the latest in a string of wins for Weaver. Her life changed dramatically when she was nominated for an Oscar at the 2011 Academy Awards for her turn in Animal Kingdom as Janine “Smurf” Cody, the menacing matriarch of a Melbourne crime family. And it is indeed a staggering performance, the Weaver “sweetness” at dramatic odds with the chilling cruelty of the character. As she has said in understatement, “I don’t have a Cruella de Vil look about me”.

“It’s changed my life completely, actually,” Weaver says. “Hollywood and America and an international career were never on my agenda or even on my horizon. It wasn’t something that I coveted or wanted because I was always perfectly content with the work I got in Australia. I was never out of work and I always had a wide variety of characters to play. I didn’t even think it was a possibility, and then (the film’s writer/director) David Michod changed my life.”

Awards, and nominations, certainly matter in the

“Hollywood and America and an international career were never on my agenda or even on my horizon.”was the cinematographer. They’re a great team. I remember Alex when she was a little girl. I knew Fred and (Schepisi’s second wife) Rhonda Schepisi … It’s interesting how you come to work with young people you knew when they were babies. It’s wonderful. Part of life’s rich tapestry.”

Lois was inspired by Alexandra Schepisi’s observation of a woman reading a letter while sitting on rocks at a beach. Filmed on location in Sydney and Greece, the film tells of a woman receiving this “long-awaited letter” and being “driven to wild lengths to address some unfinished business”. It takes “an ordinary woman’s story into the fantastical realms of Greek myth”, according to the film’s notes.

In the notes, Alexandra Schepisi says: “I have always been a big fan of magic realism and love

the creative depth it allows. It is the perfect medium to be able to explore the limitless capacity of love and the agony that it can cause. I wanted to create a film that stays ahead of the audience so that they might go on

a journey with Lois, without knowing what is in the letter or where she is heading.“I wanted to create a sense of desperation and

danger when she first reacts so wildly to the letter. What could be in a letter that causes such a reaction?”

“It wasn’t an easy shoot, because I’m not a great swimmer,” Weaver says. “It made the papers when we did some of the Sydney shoot because we were in very treacherous ocean, one of the most treacherous that Sydney’s got. I was in very heavy surf with a few lifeguards around me but even so, it was very tough. (Later) we went to Greece (to film) and the village was beautiful. A good experience.

“I think short films are just as valid a piece of art as an hour and 40 minutes. I think some of the most beautiful films are short films. That wasn’t a problem for me at all. You judge everything by the script and what you think it’s going to be like to make the character work.”

Still, it’s an interesting choice for Weaver coming off major big Hollywood success to do an eight-minute film. “I don’t have a career arc at this age,” she says. “I’m so ancient that I (only) think in terms of whether I’m interested in being the character. I did three films in America last year, so doing a little short film was … I took it seriously. It was just as important to get it right. Just because it’s eight minutes and 20 seconds doesn’t mean it’s any less of a project.”

It’s been a relentless schedule for Weaver since her Animal Kingdom nomination, and she has acquired some pretty highly placed fans. In conversation with a Hollywood identity, US President Barack Obama recently asked: “Are you working with Jacki Weaver at the moment? I loved her in Animal Kingdom.’

“I think that’s my best,” Weaver says. “Another good one was when we were at the Golden Globes and Michael Barker, the boss of Sony Pictures Classics, said ‘I’ve just had a lovely text you’ll like’ and he showed it

to me. ‘Tell her she’s one of my favourite actresses of all time’, signed (Spanish filmmaker) Pedro Almodóvar.”She’s working with the hottest of the hot and has

scripts piling up. I asked Weaver if it was difficult to know what to do next. “I get quite a lot of guidance. You do get inundated with stuff. I read three scripts a week. You get very good at reading scripts. I always read them at least twice and make notes because sometimes you can overlook really good material if you’re tired and not concentrating.”

Does the success in the film roles bring a little added gold dust into the theatre? “People are definitely aware of it,” Weaver says. “I’m on stage with Cate Blanchett who had not only won an Oscar and a Golden Globe but she’s been nominated five times. She is stratospherically up there. Her performance in this is just peerless, it’s just amazing. And so is Hugo Weaving, he’s brilliant and so is Richard Roxburgh, he’s extraordinary.”

She has found herself away from her Sydney home a lot lately. “Last year I was hardly at home at all, I worked in six different cities in America. I’m glad I’m missing the winter in Sydney, actually. I’m a walker. Melbourne is a good walking town, like New York and Sydney are. But there are days when you just cannot walk around Melbourne, it’s so cold. (Melbourne and Sydney) are like children to me, I love them equally and yet they’re so different.”

W eaver recently appeared on the ABC’s Q&A, one of the broadcaster’s great success stories, even if it does week to week slide from sublime to excrutiating.

Weaver appeared with two of the chat circuits’s greatest practitioners, Barry Humphries and actor Miriam Margolyes. With the brilliant David Marr sparring hilariously with Humphries and Margolyes being as outrageous as usual, it was a surreal evening’s television.

“I resisted Q&A for such a long time. My brother, who’s a barrister, said ‘You musn’t do Q&A, you’re going to destroy your reputation as a nice girl, you’re just going to say something really vile to a politician’. Because some of the people they have on I loathe. And Tony Jones said to me at a cocktail party ‘Why don’t you come on the show?’ I said ‘Because I don’t trust myself’.”

It was suggested to her that she come on in a night when there were no politicians. “I was very quiet compared with the others; they got really outrageous.”

She has several projects on the go, including a pilot for HBO television, a film with Shirley MacLaine (“which has been postponed a few times, hopefully it will go ahead soon”) and several film offers that are awaiting finance. In the middle of next year she will appear in an as-yet unnamed theatrical production in Melbourne.

Meanwhile, Weaver is revelling in her new life as an internationally recognised actor. She is approached by fans much more in the US. “Every night at the stage door there are people waiting,” she says. “They’re waiting for Cate but they know who I am. They have big printed glossy photos of me that they get me to sign. It is a fan culture. I get fan mail here.

“When my husband Sean and I were in LA for the first time, some 14-year-old kids walked past and recognised me, and that gave Sean the biggest thrill ever. They were just kids who’d seen the movie. It was really strange to be in a foreign country and get recognised.”

She should get used to it.\[email protected]

DECANTER \ BEN THOMAS GOES TO THE TOP OF THE GLASS

Argyle Pinot Noir 2009(Willamette Valley, Oregon) $27.95; 14%★★★★

When compared to the ocean liners of wine we send Stateside, very little American wine makes it to our shores. Dark cherries, plums, vanilla, forest floor, and smoky oak on the aromas, along with some sappy notes. Similar flavours are intense and rich (the wine undergoes double maceration with its grape skins to extract flavour and colour), with a slightly earthy, beetroot-like edge and spice. Silky smooth, it has grippy tannins and a fine, intense finish.Food match \ Salad of duck gésiers

Eden Road The Long Road Shiraz 2010(Gundagai) $22; 13.4%★★★★ ½A wine of beautiful perfume, this has a tiny viognier component (1 per cent) that lifts the enticing aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, spice and earth. It’s fresh and juicy in the mouth, with intense red and black berry flavours and a line of graphite minerality that’s complex and appealing. Smooth in the mouth, it has really fine tannins and a stalky grip along with bright acidity that skips across the tongue and keeps things fresh. There’s a good finish, too. Great value.Food match \ Quail stuffed with couscous, raisins and almonds

John Duval Wines Plexus 2009(Barossa) $37; 14.5%★★★★★

By former Grange winemaker John Duval, who comes from a long line of Barossa vignerons. This is a blend of grenache, shiraz and mourvedre and its class stands out at the first sip. Rich aromas of raspberry, blackberry, spice and coal lead to savoury flavours that include cherry, blackberry, leather and mocha oak. Structure is the star, with a great mouthfeel, powder-fine tannins and a lightness to the acid that’s well balanced with the rich flavours. It’s finish is long and memorable.Food match \ Braised pork belly

Simonnet-Febvre Chablis 2010(Chablis, France) $24.95; 12.5%★★★★

A wine that benefits from being consumed close to room temperature – perfect for winter nights – rather than straight from the fridge, this has lovely floral aromas that include white peach, cantaloupe, grilled nuts and slate. It has rich, vibrant stonefruit, oyster shell minerality and citrus flavours. In the mouth, there’s zippy acidity and a dry, refreshing grip that leads to a fine finish of citrus pith, honey and more minerality. It’s sealed with a screwcap, too, which is a real bonus for a French white.Food match \ Ferguson Plarre Chicken Pie

Brown Brothers Sauvignon Blanc 2012(Tasmania) $17.90; 13.5%★★★★

The first release from Tasmania by Brown Brothers since its purchase of Tamar Ridge 18 months ago, this is immediately appealing. Attractive aromas of tropical fruits, green beans, passionfruit and melon are given a layer of complexity with some yeasty notes. It tastes similar and there’s an excellent creamy texture, with some zippy acidity and a persistent finish. It’s as good, if not better, than anything you’ll get from Marlborough in its price range. Importantly, it’s Australian.Food match \ Soft goat’s cheese

Love a bargain?

TAsTE This

S ome time earlier this year (I don’t know the exact date) I boxed up my Champagne flutes and started drinking bubbly from riesling glasses. I’ve had a few funny looks

from dinner guests since, and the clinking of glasses doesn’t seem quite as celebratory as it does with a flute, but I have certainly enjoyed what’s in the glass more since the switch. It’s not just that I can get more in the glass, I can assure you.

Good sparkling, including Champagne and Australia’s local fizz, is highly complex, and if I’m paying upwards of $50 I want to be sure that I’m getting every last bit of pleasure from it.

I reckon it takes a larger bowl to reveal all the aromatics in Champagne – I’m not talking a wide Marie Antoinette-style glass (they’re for desserts, aren’t they?) – just a white-wine glass suited for aromatic wines such as riesling and sauvignon blanc.

I read somewhere once that you should spend as much on the glass as you do on the bottle, and that’s a pretty astute call. I know from (a lot) of experience that a good glass really does enhance the experience, but you don’t need a glass to match every wine variety on the bottleshop shelf.

When Melbourne-based Plumm wine glasses was developing its range of high-end stemware, designer Dana

Morris spent 20 months with winemakers and experts around the world researching what makes the perfect glass. “I brought all the information back, collated and analysed it, and what the results kept saying was one thing – you need a glass for a style of wine rather than a variety. You really only need two glasses for each red and white wine style, plus a sparkling glass.”

Using 3D modelling, she developed five glasses to cover light- and medium-bodied white wines, plus for lightweight and medium-to-full-bodied red wines, plus a sparkling flute. She suggests building your glass collection slowly and buying a glass suited to the style of wine you like.

“I truly believe you should buy the glass that’s right for the style that you like to drink best – if you like pinot, you need a pinot glass. I don’t necessarily believe that everybody needs to fit out their cupboard will all five glasses,” she says.

“Most of us can’t afford to have really special wines every night and we need to get the most out of everyday wines, too. A good glass can take a bottle that you may have spent $12-$15 on and make it smell and taste like a $20-$25 bottle of wine.” \

[email protected]

ThE swiRlYes, swirling the wine around

in the glass can look a bit poncey but there’s a good reason to do so. By

swirling the wine around the glass you’re increasing the surface area of the wine and

releasing an aromatic vapour. These aromas get trapped in the glass and deliver the first part of a wine’s enjoyment – the smell – and the more

vapour, the more intense the smell.Oh, swirling sparkling’s a bit of a no-no. The bubbles bring the aromas to the fore without the need to swirl, plus

swirling only makes the wine flatter.

T he worst thing about reviewing Moon Under Water is deciding where to start. Do you rave about the room, with its nuanced hues

of white-on-white, the softly filtered light, the svelte banquettes in lush, dove-grey leather? Or the vintage cabinets with wines and curiosities (here a stuffed rooster, there a model windjammer) to conjure a space somewhere between apothecary and wunderkammer?

Or the staff, clean-cut and Kennedy-handsome in their tight, white shirts and aprons, who are fully informed on every aspect of the super menu and a superb winelist that's almost as long as Leviticus, but much more exciting to read?

Or do you start with a cheesy biscuit?At Moon Under Water, it’s all about the cheesy biscuit

– a gruyère de comté and parmesan shortbread that melts on the tongue and leaves you gagging for another. There appears to be a strict ration of one morsel per mouth but diners needn’t fret because things only get better from here on in. Trust me. No, don’t trust me – trust the ever-dependable and inspirational Andrew McConnell (Cumulus-Cutler-Golden Fields) and Josh Murphy, his former head man at Cumulus and The Age’s 2012 Young Chef of the Year, who together have devised a corner-hotel dining experience unlike anything Melbourne has tasted before.

The duo already earned its stripes with the bistro here at the 160-year-old Builders Arms Hotel. It opened a few months back and wowed crowds with its earthy eating (whipped cod roe, potted blood pudding) and infectious atmosphere. But Moon Under Water is something else again; a dining room within a dining room that has debuted with a level of confidence and class rare in new restaurants – or any restaurants, for that matter.

From Wednesday to Sunday night, it offers a set menu of four courses. It costs $75 and there can be additional surprises – an amuse bouche, a petit four – and often a supplementary course with ultra-seasonal ingredients (Manjimup truffle toast soldiers, when we visit).

Our Sunday lunch begins with that biscuit, followed by an offering of crisp lavosh topped with raw tuna and a dollop each of eggplant mash and lemonade fruit, a semi-sweet lemony splodge that cleanses the mouth ahead of the coming feast. And it’s delivered by McConnell himself, who’s very much in evidence greeting tables and generally adding an extra layer of warmth to the experience.

First out of the kitchen is a great-looking plate of seared Rottnest Island scallops and buttered cabbage on a smear of squid ink. Frail ribbons of kombu kelp flutter on top and lend a savoury umami-ness that’s the standout ingredient. The scallops are sweet and appealingly browned and the combination overall is perfectly nice, even though the squid ink seems diluted in colour and flavour. In retrospect, it is the weakest of the day’s dishes but not a dud by any stretch.

Steamed baby leeks arrive on a lush smear of cow’s curds, the leeks draped with prime Ortiz anchovies

cold-smoked in-house, decorated with red sorrel leaves and seasoned with chilli flakes and lemon oil. For a simple-looking preparation, it goes off in the mouth. The anchovies are plump and firm and a tiny slice of one has a magical effect on each forkful of leek and curd. The hint of chilli is genius.

Normally I baulk at dust on a menu but the orange “dust” with the next service of slow-cooked duck picks up a citrus theme kindled by candied pomelo slices. The bird is quite bloody but also bloody delicious, in a jus heady with star anise, cinnamon, cloves and pepper. Mustard greens and puréed celeriac relieve the richness.

Lunch ends on steamed ginger cake with custard, rhubarb sorbet and a crust of freeze-dried cherry. Imagine a ginger-caramel-vanilla-rhubarb love-in with cherry pop-rocks and you’ve got a pretty clear picture of how much fun it is.

Take two is a Wednesday night and a new menu but the same, impeccable everything else. Another biscuit, then another lavosh wafer, this time with curd, a jewel-green mound of diced celery grated with amber-coloured bottarga (sun-dried mullet roe). It’s the good stuff too, flown in from Sardinia.

The menu proper begins with a winter vegetable salad, the highlight of which are crisps of Jerusalem

artichoke (sure to take off all over town), then an intriguing plate simply labelled “black rice, red mullet and cuttlefish”. The Italian rice, black by birth but also by virtue of squid ink, is muddled with diced cuttlefish, all of it utterly al dente. A palm-sized mullet fillet with red fishnet skin rests on top. A paprika sauce adds another dimension of flavour, as do wispy, deep-fried fennel fronds. It’s lovely.

But then comes the aged pheasant, which blitzes everything before it. The breast is lightly tanned,

a plump and juicy chunk of bird, and there’s a medley of leg wrapped in bacon. Both are deftly cooked but really they’re just a vehicle for the jus, which has been reduced to an

almost sticky consistency of dense, complex essences enhanced by crumbled islands of

boudin noir with hints of calvados and apple, red wine and toasted cereal. We wipe our fingers across the plates until the last drop of sauce has passed our lips. It is far too good to waste.

This is crazy-good cooking. Pub dining in Melbourne has a new benchmark and, boy, is it high. \

F ragrance is the only beauty product that is extremely personal, as it evokes many emotions that are at once personal, memorable and exciting.

For all the science in the world there is still no clear indication how smell works, although there are several conflicting theories. All you have to know and care about is that smell is intertwined with emotion, and the right positive emotion will always trigger great joy.

Recently I have been flooded with emails from readers wanting to know more floral perfumes. I was surprised that this late in winter people are yearning for floral scents, or could this be in anticipation of spring that everyone is aflutter for the smell of blooms?

One email went further and asked where do fragrances that are not too new or iconic go? In the world of fragrances, the new always gets all the attention. Last year alone there were 1167 new fragrances launched onto the market. More will flood the counters this year, each promising to excite and titillate our senses.

In these pages I have written and lauded several new and iconic fragrances and given some insight into the world of scent and how the magic is created. However, I have never touched on the scents that are still great and active in the market but somewhat forgotten.

So here are a few great floral scents that should be worn and celebrated. They may not be new or have iconic status but with one whiff you will understand why they are so great. \

Annick Goutal Gardenia Passion eau de toilette (50ml, $130) was first released in 1989 after Goutal’s spring travel to Japan. It smells of blossoming gardenias in a garden after a spring rainfall. Women who wear it say that it never fails to get a positive reaction. It has notes of gardenia, jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom and vanilla.

Antonia’s Flowers Floret eau de toilette (50ml, $88).Created to pay homage to her grandmother’s garden and launched in 1995, famed Long Island florist Antonia Bellanca wanted to bottle the scent of sweet pea, rose, lily of the valley and tuberose. The result is Floret.

Jean Paul Gaultier Classique eau de parfum (50ml, $140).Created by Jacques Cavallier in 1993 for Gaultier’s inaugural fragrance, it is a floral oriental scent with notes of rose, star *anise, orchid, iris, plum, ginger, musk and vanilla – subtle, provocative and sensuous: everything that spells Gaultier.

Tom Ford Private Blend Champaca Absolute eau de parfum (75ml, $250).Released in 2009, this is one of the best floral concoctions for men. It is deep, smokey and surprisingly refreshing with notes of cognac, bergamot, orchid, jasmine, violet, sandalwood and vanilla. Any man worth his salt will indulge in a floral fragrance with punch.

Five cleansers to try now

Cleansing is one of the most important things but is often overlooked. There are women who openly confess to me that they are methodical with their moisturising and tanning but when it comes to cleansing they are a bit ho-hum.

Cleansing is the foundation to good skin health. It prepares the skin so that your serums and moisturisers can be effective and efficient.

How we cleanse is also important.We have been conditioned to gauge

that cleanliness equals squeaky clean. This is dangerous ground for our skin health.

Skin should never feel squeaky clean. It should feel fresh and supple. You will get a squeaky-clean face if you rely on alcohol and harsh detergents.

If you are obsessed about a squeaky-clean standard, you are doing yourself more harm than good.

The more you clean your face, the more oil is produced. More oil exacerbates the pores and you open the door to a plethora of problems that you could have avoided in the first place.

Gentle cleansing twice a day is more than sufficient. Always remember to thoroughly remove your make-up, no matter how tired you feel.

Think of it as good skin karma.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple 3-in-1 cleanser (90ml / 240ml / 480ml, $15 / $30 / $45) Removes make-up, cleanses, tones and lightly hydrates. What more can you ask? Brilliant.

Botani Olive Soothing Cleanser (100ml, $29) A rich cream-based cleanser that is just perfect for the more mature skin that tends to be drier.

Simple Purifying Cleansing Lotion (200ml, $9.99) One hundred per cent lanolin-free, removes make-up and dirt effortlessly.

Malin + Goetz Grapefruit Cleanser ($236ml, $45) Zesty and gives skin a wake-up call each time you use it.

Kosmea Purifying Cream Cleanser (150ml, $34.95) With certified organic rose-hip oil and avocado oil, this is gentle on the skin but tough on dirt.

wortH $400

Estée Lauder Pleasures eau de parfum (100ml, $145) is made of five key elements: white lily; white peony; karo-karoundé (an African flowering shrub); black lilac; and pink peppercorns. It was first launched in 1995. Since then, many a blushing bride has laid claim to this scent as her favourite on the big day.

Giorgio Beverly Hills eau de toilette (50ml, $45) was a runaway hit when it was launched in 1981. The Rodeo Drive shop, started in 1961 by Fred and Gale Hayman, was a haven for all things luxurious, and this scent fitted in perfectly. It is a symphony of bergamot, mandarin, jasmine, rose, carnation, orris, sandalwood, cedarwood, musk, moss and amber.

Guy Laroche Fidji eau de toilette (50ml, $77). I can still remember smelling this on my aunty as she got ready for her hot dates in the ’80s. It was released to the world in 1966 with an advertising campaign that created such a stir but that today would be considered mild. The scent plays with jasmine, rose, iris, spices, cloves, sandalwood and patchouli to give it a sexy and carefree feel.

musicTHE INVITATION TO THE VOYAGE \ Eugene McGuinness (Domino)» www.eugenemcguinness.net

There’s a great sense of the fantastical to the third album from this young Londoner. Singles Lion and Shotgun evoke the sort of too- thrilling-to-be-real theme tunes from some forgotten ’60s spy series. Indeed, the latter mimics the Peter Gunn theme so closely that a co-writing credit seems inevitable. Lion is unquestionably the record’s standout track – a sprint through imagery so nonsensical that the listener has to assume it all means something extraordinary. Even if it doesn’t, it’s still one of the most exciting tracks released this year.

Not everything else here works quite as well. But that’s to be expected from a record forged from such a ragtag bunch of genres and textures. Videogame stitches the spooky beauty of Fleet Foxes onto epic ’80s pop so adroitly that we still can’t spot the joins. Concrete Moon is at once grubby and grand, building a musical show-stopper atop a twitching electro beat.

Surprising, gripping and willfully odd, this is a voyage likely to reward the adventurous. \

CALL GIRLS \ ABC2, Friday August 10, 9.30pm» www.abc.net.au/tv/abc2

There’s nothing sexy about this cheeky, funny look at the phone-sex industry. Middle-aged Jenny catches up on household chores while faking orgasms, dominatrix Marnie scolds willing slaves while walking her pet rabbit and wholesome vegan Anneka chirpily talks off a client while doing the groceries.

Put together with a nudge and a wink – much fun is had with double-entendre street signs (Humps! Polishing Service!) – this is salacious, yes, but all rather jolly. The “girls” are refreshingly frank, seeing empathy and companionship as being as crucial to the job as a filthy mouth. Only Marnie ends up disillusioned, realising she now sees all men as either puppies or perverts. It’s a shame, then, that the doco features a deafening silence from the other end of the line. \

PlayPERSONAL POLITICAL PHYSICAL CHALLENGE \ Malthouse Theatre, from August 11, $25» hydrapoesis.net

Acclaimed Perth performance group Hydra Poesis brings its potent mix of dance, theatre and performance art to the Malthouse Theatre this week. A suburban couple try to reheat a stale relationship in a surreal tale that tackles some big ethical questions. Dance is the driving force here – a “Jane Fonda-style” workout may feature – as the players challenge each other to a dangerous game of Truth or Dare. Hydra Poesis always produces something special and strange, and this promises to be no exception. \

filmTHE SAPPHIRES \ Opens August 9, rated PG» www.hopscotchfilms.com.au/

the-sapphires-film

Four Aboriginal girls follow the music from the 1960s outback to war-torn Vietnam in this throughly pleasant Australian comedy.

Pleasant is the key word here, as the film is so enjoyable that it takes at least an hour to realise there’s little in the way of drama. What drama there is, crammed into the last act, is so sudden as to seem perfunctory. Instead, The Sapphires plays out as a series of very nice things that happened to some talented young women.

The chief reason we don’t mind a lack of conflict is, really, that we feel our heroes deserve a bit of good luck. The Australia shown here echoes the Tennessee of The Help – intrinsically racist and unjust.

The girls are passed over at a talent contest because the crowd can’t believe indigenous Australians are capable of contributing anything worthwhile. Only Irish outsider Dave Lovelace (Chris O’Dowd) has ears open enough to recognise musical gold.

Race issues are present throughout, although they rarely overshadow the upbeat vibe. The most complex and interesting issue revolves around Kay (Shari Sebbens), whose fair skin saw her stolen away as a child and raised as a white girl. Hers is the only journey with any real trajectory. She begins as a Tupperware-loving outcast, denying her heritage, but slowly discovers a new sense of acceptance.

Not all of this is as deftly handled as it should be. Indeed, several dialogue moments telegraph plot points

with the heaviest of hands. But director Wayne Blair clearly wants to make a feelgood family film – one

that, like Red Dog, might have broad commercial appeal.

Certainly, the music should prove to be a popular drawcard. The band dispatch soul standards with sweet voices and toe-tapping

vigour, even if there’s little of the sweat and grit that underpins the genre.

Nonetheless, it’s wonderful to see a mainstream film about people and issues that usually remain firmly on the fringes. \

BOOKS \ EDWARD AND MRS SIMPSON CONTINUE TO INTRIGUE, SAYS CORRIE PERKIN

T he arrival in 1990 of Philip Ziegler’s mammoth study of Edward VIII was considered by many historians to be

the final word on the man who abdicated the British throne in 1936 to marry a twice-divorced American. Despite other attempts, none can match Ziegler’s book in terms of research, perception, and storytelling skill.

It also helped that Ziegler, whose other published works include biographies of King William IV, Lord Melbourne, Lady Diana Cooper and Harold Wilson, had authorised access to royal archives. “Philip Ziegler is a historian of uncommon candour and, especially considering the ‘authorised’ nature of his work, unusual humour,” wrote Christopher Hitchens in his 1990 London Review of Books review.

At first glance, HarperCollins’ decision to reprint this 654-page book with an updated preface by the author may seem curious. But consider these factors: Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee year and the London Olympics, first, have triggered a feeling of renewed warmth and sentimentality towards the British royal family.

Secondly, the success of Anne Sebba’s recent biography of Wallis Simpson, the brittle and complex woman from Baltimore who captured the king’s heart, is also luring readers in Edward VIII’s direction. The Ziegler study offers them a chance to do so.

“The question whether the present Duchess of Cornwall might one day become Queen has, of course, not yet finally been resolved,” Ziegler writes in his updated preface, “but, in the closing days of the Abdication crisis, Edward VIII seemed ready to contemplate a morganatic marriage. The problem might

therefore not have arisen. Would Mrs Simpson be acceptable today as consort of the King?”

The author answers this question with the hindsight of one who observes a very different royal family to the one he wrote about in 1990. This opportunity – to revisit an old subject from a more contemporary viewpoint – is a luxury seldom afforded biographers. Ziegler, now in his early 80s, clearly enjoys the chance to do so.

Like Ziegler, Anne Sebba is no slouch when it comes to writing famous peoples’ biographies. A former Reuters royal correspondent, she read history at Kings College before becoming a journalist. Her previous subjects include Enid Bagnold, Laura Ashley, Mother Teresa and Jennie Churchill, the American-born mother of Winston Churchill.

In That Woman, Sebba delivers a well-researched account of the Duchess of Windsor’s eventful and, at times, highly dramatic life. Sebba argues that because so little was known about Wallis before the abdication, a perplexed British public “invented an image of her, a process which began in 1936 and which gathered pace in the ensuing half century”.

Sebba’s objective is to “examine whether that picture is still valid in the 21st century”. The result of her research will prompt you to rethink the motives of the couple involved, and wonder how different the monarchy might have been if Edward had stayed put on the throne. \

fiction \ ABDICATION by Juliet Nicolson » $29.99 (Bloomsbury)

The Duke and Duchess of Windsor’s respective biographies offer us a chance to mention this new novel, which we put in the “good beach read/by the fire in winter’’ category. It is the mid-1930s and 19-year-old May is offered a job as female chauffeur for an aristocratic, titled family.

One of her first assignments is to drive a visiting American spinster, who is staying with the family, to see her old school friend, Wallis. When the car pulls up at Fort Belvedere, the private residence of King Edward VIII, we know we are in for an interesting ride home. \

LEGENDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL HALL OF FAMEby Bruce Eva , Nick Bowen, Peter Ryan » $39.95 (Slattery Media)

What distinguishes a legend from a mere hero of the game? In this attempt to articulate the differences, the authors of this new hardcover look at those Australian footballers who have been awarded “Legend’’

status according to AFL Hall of Fame criteria. The individual biographies and stats of players such as Haydn Bunton, Jack Dyer, Ron Barassi, John Coleman, Kevin Murray and the like remind us that greatness is consistent, innate, quickly recognisable and has the capacity to change the game forever. A perfect gift for Father’s Day next month. \

GONE GIRL by Gillian Flynn » $29.99 (Orion)

US writer Gillian Flynn’s new novel tells of the five-year marriage of Nick and Amy that appears, on the surface, to be functioning correctly, until Amy disappears. Nick is no angel, but Amy’s diary entries reveal a dark

and disturbed mind. This is a rich and suspenseful novel, described in one recent newspaper review as possibly “THE crime book of the year’’. \

THE FOOD CLOCK: A YEAR OF COOKING SEASONALLY by Ed Halmagyi » $39.99 (HarperCollins)

Celebrity chef Fast Ed and his publishers had to come up with something new if their book was going to stand out from all the other “celebrity chef” collections available.

And so we meet Halmagyi’s fictitious hero, Monsieur Henri Petit-Pois, a quiet and passionate foodie whose recipes are inspired by the seasonal clock that whirs and chimes in his cottage. This charming culinary tale is accompanied by some of Ed’s delicious, rustic-style recipes such as ham hock and split-pea soup, braised oxtail, chestnut syrup cake and rhubarb pudding. Yum. \

I found Hurstbridge through a Friday-night tradition of take away fish and chips. The best fish and chips have always come from Hurstbridge.

During the ’90s, Hurstbridge sustained up to three fish and chip shops. Remarkable given the size of the town. While we waited for our order, we would wander up the main street to visit a rather beautiful, remarkable and rundown weatherboard house. This was a regular routine until one night a “For Sale” was displayed. Much to my sister’s and my dismay at the time.

My parents bought the house and thus came my true link to Hurstbridge through an Edwardian combined shop and residence named Kangaroo House. It also began a restoration project that my family will never really finish.

Living in a heritage-listed property can be difficult at times, from the community of brush-tailed possums who live under the wrought-iron roof to the quirky leaks and lack of insulation.

However, I have now taken on this house that has much strength and character. It is a privilege to live in and care for a building that is part of Hurstbridge’s and the local architectural history.

Built c1913, Kangaroo House has had many uses in its life, including as a greengrocer, lending library, nursery, tea rooms, hairdressing salon, art gallery and antique shop. During World War 2 it was used as a soup kitchen to serve soldiers on training exercises.

Kangaroo House has been a home to many families, including one with 14 children. I have always imagined the stories it could tell.

Hurstbridge offers a diverse shopping experience, such as the eclectic creations at Oku Den specialising

in remastered jewellery, textiles and art. A perfect stop for an unusual gift. Hurstbridge Organic Fruit Shop offers a zesty juice if you are feeling a cold coming on. Accompany your juice with a healthy wrap and enjoy the rustic ambience of The Brown House, built in 1976 by local architect Robert Marshall.

For breakfast I recommend the Heart and Soul Café, which does a scrumptious eggs Benedict. Coffee just seems to taste better with the smell of gumtrees and the sound of rosellas, with several cafés and restaurants to choose from. If you are budding chef, Clint Meagher’s Quality Meats offers the most friendly service and can always recommend something delicious to cook.

The Hurstbridge Community Centre is in Allwood House, and the surrounding gardens once incorporated a thriving orchard and farm. You can walk through to the park known as Fergusons Paddock, where my dog enjoys his daily walks and socialisation. With a thriving wetlands, you can witness much of the local flora and fauna. For the locals it is like your own private park, quiet and peaceful.

On the first Sunday of each month Fergusons Paddock hosts the Hurstbridge Farmers Market, where you can taste and buy local produce. You will greeted by the laughter of the kookaburras that are the symbol of Hurstbridge.

I once saw a powerful owl near the historic one-lane Monash Bridge, which stands proudly over the Diamond Creek, bringing to mind the town’s founder, Henry Hurst. Shot by a bushranger, Hurst and his family lay in the tiny Hurstbridge Cemetery down Greysharps Road.

On the last Sunday in August, Hurstbridge holds its annual Wattle Festival, a celebration of heritage, environment and community.

This year when the steam train visits we will mark the centenary of rail travel to Hurstbridge. The town swells with visitors and locals enjoying the rural village atmosphere just under a hour from Melbourne. After each festival the town looks a little tired but satisfied that this tradition continues.

In the heart of town stands a little weatherboard house, neglected but still with life. Its verandah sags to one side and grass sprouts from its gutters. On the side

of the house is graffitied 3099, the Hurstbridge postcode. It is a reminder that our history is

fragile and needs to be protected.It is vital that these notable buildings

are safeguarded. It is with immense disappointment that I see buildings such as these slowly dying and then being torn down

to make way for the pristine and new. More than many, I know the expense that can go into

a restoration project. But we are simply the custodians and need to ensure that these buildings can stand for another 100 years.

What will happen to the little weatherboard in the centre of Hurstbridge? Most likely it will not make another winter. But this is a problem many towns face.

The strength of Hurstbridge is its sense of community, the town bustles with life and friendly faces when you walk down the street.

How could I possibly live anywhere else, when Hurstbridge is my home. \

My first sport was … swimming.

I now play … youth league basketball and netball. Sporting highlight so far \ Winning the gold medal in the 2007 National Basketball Club Championships (junior) and silver medals in junior Victorian Championship basketball grand finals in 2007 and 2010 with the Bulleen Boomers.

Sporting goal \ To continue playing and enjoying sport at as high a level as possible, and to remain active.

Career aspirations: To be a paediatric physiotherapist or a physiotherapist for a Victorian/metropolitan team.

My secret vice is … chocolate. How I’d get kids off iPods and into sport \ Promoting a variety of sports to encourage kids to find what they are passionate about.

My main responsibilities as sports captain are … encouraging girls of all abilities, motivating girls to do their best, helping captains with responsibilities and creating a positive environment.

My sporting hero \ Lauren Jackson. She has played at the highest level and has remained Australia’s best basketballer for many years.

Australia’s best sportsperson \ Cathy Freeman. Never has a single sporting event captured the attention and expectations of the nation.

Should male and female sports stars get equal pay? Yes, the sporting world should lead by example.

Would you represent Australia for nothing? Absolutely, for the honour of representing my country.

Would you rather be an Olympian or prime minister? Olympian! Representing the country for something I am so passionate about for a living would be the ultimate job. Not to mention Olympians seem to be far more liked than a prime minister.

Which sports star would make the best PM and why? (Collingwood AFL player) Luke Ball. He is intelligent, well-spoken and has a strong sense of community spirit.

How I’d spend $1 million to make the world a better place \ Earlier this year, the class of 2012 at Ivanhoe Girls’ raised $67,500 for a charity called BeyondWater. BeyondWater provides communities in east Africa with access to safe water. Clean water is such an essential part of life that we often take for granted, and I strongly believe it is a worthy cause to continue supporting. \

The fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club may have changed in recent years, but the home of one of its greatest dynasties is still as stunning and sturdy as it

was back in the good old days.The Cordner clan, which has produced three generations

of Melbourne players, including two captains and 1946 Brownlow medallist Don Cordner, is selling Ashmead after 80 years in the family name.

Dr Edward Cordner and wife Margaret built this grand English domestic revival manor in 1932 as a place to raise the family and centralise their country medical practice, which was previously based further afield in Diamond Creek.

It was here, probably on the huge front lawn, where the Cordners’ four sons, Ted, Don, Denis and John, played kick-to-kick as children before eventually leading Melbourne to premiership glory in the 1940s and ’50s.

When the ball sailed over the front hedge it was easily retrieved from Grimshaw Street, which back then was nothing more than a country lane surrounded by rolling hills and a handful of Victorian cottages and interwar houses.

Today, the soaring Monterey Cypress hedge acts as a buffer between two worlds – the heritage-protected house and garden and the bustling suburban centre that Greensborough has become.

The new Banyule Aquatic Centre is just across the road. Greensborough Plaza, with its gumnut motif, forms part of the views that were once just hills and trees.

The 1834 square-metre property is zoned both residential and medical, with the latter due largely to the Cordners’ own contribution to community health.

The Cordners worked tirelessly to establish the 40-bed Diamond Valley Community Hospital, which opened in 1950 on the same hill as the house.

Ashmead has its own surgery, with a separate entrance off Eldale Avenue, where Dr Cordner and elder son Ted practised medicine for more than 30 years. The surgery, with its corner sink and built-in medicine cabinets, has since been used a study. Where the receptionist once sat in the waiting room is an upright piano.

The house, which later became the home of Ted, wife Anne (nee Baillieu) and their six children, was updated over the years, but only where necessary.

The triple-brick bones are so solid that additional heating beyond the fireplaces in the kitchen, lounge, dining room and upstairs den was never needed. Margie Cordner, one of the Ted and Anne’s children, describes the house as a thermos in winter and an Esky in summer.

The kitchen went under the knife in the early 1990s and has granite benches and Miele appliances, but much of the house is pleasantly original.

While this means that some work will be required, it also ensures that none of the original character and charm of this sand-render-and-clinker-brick house has been lost.

Take the exquisitely maintained decorative ceilings in the dining room. The griffin friezes on the cornices are practically one-offs and similar examples can only be found in Melbourne at the Regent Theatre.

The heavy timber doors that access the house in the surgery and entrance hall are also bespoke. Their shape mirrors the pitched gothic-style arches on the front terrace, and they include panels of painted glass bearing the Cordner coat of arms. A simple armoured fist sits above three Latin words, which translate as “I am ready” – a fitting motto for a clan of sportsmen and medicos.

If the walls could talk at Ashmead, those in the lounge would have much to say. It was surely here, beside the fire or the vast multipane window, where many decisions were made and friendships forged.

Margie Cordner recalls growing up in and returning to the house as the years came and went with great affection.

The five upstairs bedrooms are flush with attic-style wardrobes and recesses where generations of children would play hide-and-seek. The two north-facing bedrooms step out to a deep front balcony, where parents may have relaxed on a summer’s evening.

The magic and mystery of the house has certainly not been lost in the garden. A rabbit warren of work rooms, including the double garage, workshop, cellar and wood shed, were built into the slope of the block and a clay tennis court was cleverly installed as its roof. Fruit trees, poplars, oaks and peppercorns make up the rest of what is surely one of Diamond Valley’s most significant holdings. \

If you have jealous friends, best steer clear of 6 Elm Crescent. The property has that enviable double act of stunning period features and top-of-the-line contemporary style. It also occupies the ideal Ivanhoe

position and location, sitting on a leafy block with a north-facing rear on the high side of Elm Crescent.

This is one of those little-known streets that is at once tucked away from the world, yet close to everything that makes Ivanhoe such a desirable place to live. Main roads to the city are close by, as are quality local schools and old-world village shopping in Ivanhoe East and Eaglemont.

If your friends weren’t green with envy before strolling up the driveway, they will be once they step inside. A smart renovation has opened up the house to the backyard. A vast wall of glass looks out to the covered deck and fully tiled pool.

Entertain in style, thanks to the near-new kitchen, which impresses with stone benches, Miele and Smeg appliances, and outdoor dining area with barbecue and bar.

Inside, curved ceiling mouldings overhead mimic the curves and arches of the art deco design.

Living is spread over three spacious levels with three bedrooms and two bathrooms up top, a fourth bedroom or study sitting proudly with the main living spaces and, down on the ground floor, there is a gym, second study, powder room, storage and garage. \ LIAM CARTER

The Springthorpe Estate, located behind La Trobe University, has been well planned. The established village incorporates an abundance of native trees and shrubs, plenty of public spaces between houses as

well as nature and wildlife reserves throughout.This four-bedroom house at the top of Lookout Rise has

to be one of the best spots in the estate. With fantastic views of the Dandenong Ranges and the city, it offers plenty of space and uses its position to its best advantage.

The ground-floor open-plan kitchen/living and dining area opens to a timber deck and is an ideal entertainment space. This floor also has an elegant formal sitting room, a rumpus room with access to a north-facing deck, a bedroom, bathroom and a separate laundry.

The main bedroom upstairs commands the best views and has a walk-in wardrobe, spacious en suite, its own balcony and adjoining parent’s retreat. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

This is a great opportunity to update a 1970s brick house that has served as a happy family home for the past 35 years. It is on a substantial elevated block with views to the Dandenong Ranges at the front and a

north-facing spacious garden at the rear.The front and back gardens have been lovingly

maintained and the undercover barbecue area provides a great sun-soaked entertainment area.

It has ample living space with an open-plan living and dining room as well as an informal kitchen/meals and family room that enjoys garden views. The lower level houses a double garage and a rumpus room/kids’ retreat as well as a convenient storeroom or cellar.

Located on a quiet street close to Price Park, it is a family-friendly area. The property is close to four primary schools and two secondary schools as well as shops and public transport. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

Eltham South may have Sweeneys Lane and Lavender Park Road, but when it comes to prestigious addresses, the north certainly doesn’t miss out.

Just over the Diamond Creek from Andrew Park in Eltham North is what many locals know as Harcourt Hill. The hill sits snugly between Catholic Ladies College and creekside bush, and is home to several historically and architecturally significant houses by famed mid-century builder John Harcourt.

The stone cottage at 28 Diamond Street was built for and named after Harcourt’s sister-in-law, Florrie, in 1945. Stone was sourced from the vast 2284-square metre block and from a neighbouring Harcourt-built property.

Florrie’s is now on the market for the first time in 14 years. Since its last sale, the property has gained a vast rear wing designed and built by Hamish Knox, son of another Eltham great, Alistair Knox. The earth-toned render of the two-storey extension blends perfectly with the original stonework, capturing the “nuts-and-berries” look for which Eltham is famous.

The cosiness of the original rooms – with their low, English-pub style ceilings and wood-fire heaters – contrasts with soaring timber ceilings and vast picture windows out back. The stone-and-timber kitchen has a slate floor and a huge, open fireplace.

Accommodation is well zoned throughout, with five bedrooms. The main bedroom and en suite are tucked away downstairs, and step out to a paved terrace that is surrounded by established, stone-walled gardens and rolling green lawns. \ LIAM CARTER

One of only four new townhouses on the block, this two-storey residence is set well away from the street. It’s only a couple of years old, and the exposed-brick-and-render façade gives a neat first impression. The

house is instantly appealing with its polished presentation, gleaming floorboards and large windows. The lounge/dining area with dove-grey walls is at the entrance and has views of the paved and covered outdoor dining area.

Trees line the fence and there’s no grass to cut on weekends. The kitchen, with La Germania stainless-steel appliances and lots of cupboard space, overlooks the rear entertaining area. Two bedrooms are upstairs; both have roman blinds and share a separate toilet and a bathroom with bath, while the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe.

Other features include block-out blinds and internal access to the garage.

The property is close to the Burgundy Street shopping precinct and Heidelberg station. \ BIANCA VILLAROSA

The sound of children playing is normal for the residents of Monak Place. A friendly court means neighbourly ties are strong and families are reluctant to move. Set in the bowl of the court, this three-bedroom

property has been well maintained. The living area is at the entrance and looks out over

the front yard. It’s quite spacious and there is room for bookcases to line the wall, while glass panels separate the lounge/dining area from the hallway. Near the meals area, the kitchen has lots of cupboard space and looks out to the backyard, which can be reached from the laundry. An outdoor deck and barbecue zone is covered, so you can still entertain in wet weather. An added extra is the separate study, which has its own entrance. Three bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes, are serviced by the family bathroom. Timber floors, ducted heating and cooling are more features. The property is not far from Greensborough Plaza, transport and parks. \ BIANCA VILLAROSA
