He said if his case could have been heard locally, he would not have experienced the stress and anxiety caused by travelling alone on public transport.

WYNDHAM

A new report reveals that residents seeking legal help in Wyndham face signi cant barriers, with ageing and overstretched facilities failing to keep up with population growth.

Wyndham Legal Service senior policy lawyer Shorna Moore said Outer Sight, Out of Justice was further proof of the need for a dedicated justice precinct in the municipality.

e report, released late last week by the Law Institute of Victoria, identi ed family law, domestic violence, driving infringements, consumer law, debts, mortgage stress and neighbourhood issues as key problems in

Wyndham. It revealed an urgent need for a criminal, civil and administrative justice centre in the community.

As reported by the Weekly, key groups including Victoria Police and the Wyndham Legal Service, have stepped up a campaign for a major court, police and justice precinct in the city .

e planned precinct, earmarked by the Metropolitan Planning Authority for a four-hectare site near the existing Werribee police station, would include a new court house, police station and legal aid centre, acting as a one-stop shop for numerous services.

Wyndham currently has one community

legal centre that has limited capacity for outreach.

Ms Moore said population growth meant Werribee Magistrates Court was unable to hear many matters, with cases frequently moved to the Melbourne Magistrates Court .

Considering the demographics of those living in outer-metropolitan areas, there is even more of a need to make sure access to justice is obtainable, she said.

e report urges the state government to provide access to specialist courts and services in Wyndham. It recommends the creation of a local Victoria Legal Aid o ce to help disadvantaged residents, and a community justice centre to provide pre- and post-court

support for issues including mental health, drug and alcohol abuse, welfare and housing and problem gambling.

e report was welcomed by Chris Potaris , chief executive of the Committee for Wyndham, which is leading the charge for the justice precinct .

Mr Potaris, who said Wyndhams justice system was at breaking point, called for urgent discussions between community groups and the state and federal governments to ensure the reports recommendations were adhered to. \

ere was a time when Point Cook resident Terry could hardly get out of bed in the morning.

Terry, who did not want his last name printed, was su ering from debilitating vertigo, nausea, exhaustion and failing eyesight when he was called to the Melbourne Magistrates Court to resolve historic tollway infringements.

Terry said the nes had spiralled out of control when he became ill.

I was so unwell that I wasnt thinking straight, he said. Before I knew it I was being summonsed to court .

Terrys health made it di cult for him to board a bus and train twice a week to get to the Melbourne court.

Late last year, Terry saw an advertisement for an outreach program run by the Wyndham Legal Service .

It was there he met with senior policy lawyer Shorna Moore and began to work through the legal issues that had been plaguing his day-to-day life.

It was frightening for me because I wanted to get to the magistrates court in Melbourne, but I was unable to drive due to my health

tax could close clubsWYNDHAM

Community clubs say services will su er if the state government increases poker machine taxes.

Proposed legislation will increase statewide pokies tax revenue by an extra $278 million by the end of 2016-17.

But Hoppers Club general manager Michael Lewis said the hike would force more than $171,000 in cuts to the clubs annual wages budget.

Mr Lewis said the club may have to freeze all community sponsorships and donations and reduce members services, including cutting courtesy bus services from two to one.

e cost of a membership would also double from $5 to $10.

I am saddened that our club, with a proud 40-year history of servicing its community, now nds itself in such an unenviable position that it has to cut jobs and reduce services to members, he said.

Mr Lewis said the club was involved in talks to sell surplus land in a bid to reduce implications of the tax increase.

Tarneit Labor MP Tim Pallas said the changes would threaten jobs . He said other

Wyndham not-for-pro t clubs estimated they could lose more than $264,000 and the increased tax costs would threaten important community programs.

e last thing we need is another tax grab thats putting more jobs at risk, he said.

Mr Pallass concerns were echoed by lobby group Clubs Australia, which estimates the tax will cost clubs $75 million over four years.

Executive director Anthony Ball said he feared some clubs would have to close .

When community clubs close, people lose their jobs and the charities, sporting teams and community groups that rely on the clubs support su er also, he said.

Late last month, the state government secured the support of independent MP Geo Shaw, who had previously opposed the changes . Mr Shaw o ered his support a er the government agreed to postpone the April 1 commencement of the tax and secure an extension for clubs to pay their entitlement fees.

e government has maintained the tax is needed to correct a system where venues were under-taxed . Treasurer Michael OBrien did not respond before deadline. \

MY TOWN

You dont o en get service like this any more.

Recently, I had both kids home from school with sore throats, pathetically requesting that I make them scrambled eggs on toast.

With barely a crumb in the house, I set o to the Little River petrol station to ll the pantry.

Gathering bread, milk and a sneaky bit of chocolate for later, I asked for a dozen eggs, usually super fresh a er being delivered by a local man who has a harem of hens.

However, Id missed the delivery and no eggs were available.

ats a shame, said I, the sick kids will have to have honey and jam instead.

Wait a moment, sa id Karen the shopkeeper, we cant have the sick kids going without their eggs. Come with me, I know where we can get some.

Into my car she jump ed and we dr ove down the road to her house, where she disappear ed into the backyard.

A few moments later I heard the squawking of chooks and s aw Karen legging it back to the car, triumphantly clutching a handful of eggs.

As she ll ed the egg box and hand ed it over, a lone chook strut ted indignantly along the back fence, telling us o for interrupting her productivity, her language not understood but her tone and meaning clear enough.

As the hen continued in her indignation, I dropped Karen back at her post and headed home to the waiting frying pan and expectant children.

My son cracked the fresh eggs, yolks glowing buttercup yellow, while I toasted so bread and spread it with salty butter.

As we ate, we re ected on the simple pleasures of living in this little country town, so close to the city, where goodwill and good service still mean something. \

point cook extension plan gets tick for next stagePLANNING

Plans to extend Point Cook are a step closer, with Wyndham council writing to the Metropolitan Planning Authority (MPA) to give support for studies needed to develop new precinct structure plans (PSPs).

e plans do not involve green wedge land, as previously reported.

Councillors agreed last month to write to the MPA about a site bordering Hacketts, Aviation and Point Cook roads.

e 443-hectare site was brought inside the urban growth boundary by Planning Minister Matthew Guy in 2012, paving the way for future residential development , on the

recommendation of the council. e studies will focus on biodiversity, drainage, wetland retention, and e ects on tra c and other infrastructure in existing communities .

e move to write to the MPA was triggered by recent state government announcements about improving Point Cooks roads and public transport .

e area is likely to be developed into two PSPs, including a small one for the Lincoln Heath South area and a larger one in Point Cooks south .

e PSPs will be prepared by the MPA following discussions between a logical inclusions working party, landowners and

the council. Cr Glenn Goodfellow said the councils support of the proposal had been subject to part of it being used to create a

bu er between residential and agricultural land.

Planning for this area is included as a low priority in our growth management strategy based on congestion and lack of transport infrastructure, he said. What we

have demonstrated in this case is that our strategy for managing residential

growth is exible when circumstances change. \ MC

BRIEFS

school neglect an absolute disgraceTARNEIT

Students in their nal years of schooling are being severely disadvantaged by inadequate learning spaces, according to the principal of one of Wyndhams newest senior campuses.

Tarneit Senior College principal Michael Fawcett said the campus was in desperate need of a more than $11 million funding in next months state budget in order to complete stage two of its master plan.

Mr Fawcett said the senior campus, which opened in 2012, was still without a library, indoor canteen, gymnasium and performing arts auditorium.

A classroom has been converted into a makeshi library and is crammed with books and resources. Physical education classes are held outdoors or in a small weight-training

room . Many students undertaking vocational education subjects, such as hospitality, have to travel away from the school as there are no food technology facilities.

A 35-year-old portable building is being used as an administration block. Enrolment at the senior campus has nearly tripled, to almost 300, since the campus opened in 2012.

Tarneit Senior and P-9 colleges were le out of last years budget, with the government instead announcing new schools for Wyndham Vale South and Truganina.

Mr Fawcett said both campuses were forced to use decaying portables for classrooms.

It is an absolute disgrace how neglected government schools in Melbournes outer west are, he said.

Running schools out of portable classrooms is not appropriate.

Student engagement and well-being teacher Suzie Gerada said the situation was getting out of hand. ese conditions are making

learning increasingly di cult for students across all year levels and all

subjects, she said. A government spokeswoman

said more than $51.5 million had been invested in public schools since 2010. She said any funding

allocation would be subject to normal budget processes. e spokeswoman

said more than $14 million had been spent on xing the former Galvin Park Secondary College in Werribee.

e budget will be announced on May 6. \MELISSA CUNNINGHAM

Congratulations to all involved in the Race to the City, especially Wyndham council for making it happen.

As for the lame comments from some in State Parliament, trying to discount the impact and results of the event, you disgust me!

Stop toeing the party line and stand up for the needs of Wyndham .

We are sick of being treated as second-class citizens because we are not a marginal seat.MICHAEL YOUNG \ VIA WEB

The rate of population increase is being increased by all the house approvals.

Theres no balance with jobs, infrastructure, costs of living, or the state de cit. There needs to be a cost-bene t analysis of the whole housing industry .

The bene ts go to property developers, but the costs are distributed onto the community. Planning has become an

oxymoron, and standards can only decline to the detriment of the profession.

Its all about destruction of planning principles and open slather housing construction. MATILDA BANDIC \ VIA WEB

Incredibly, a planning expert is admitting that our population is growing too fast.

Our immigration-driven population growth is being deliberately set at full-throttle rates for the housing industry, due to the decline of mining and resources.

However, its foolish to think that housing and property can replace these exportable commodities.

Its said that each person costs $200,000 in infrastructure, but this doesnt become evident initially.

The cost of loss of amenities, environmental assets and quality of life cant be measured.

We are facing climate change, a new era of scarcities and threats to food production. Surely, its obvious that while we bene ted from growth and high rates of immigration in

the past, these times are over. We need to optimise the infrastructure we have, and improve our quality of lives, not depend on housing for revenues.TONY B \ VIA WEB

My shoutIts time the major political parties stopped automatically taking opposing positions on big-ticket infrastructure items such as east-west link, metro rail and the new port of Melbourne. How will we have any certainty and progress if such projects are constantly threatened by a change of government? Further confusion comes from Canberra where state projects end up being fodder for ill-conceived federal election promises.

Its time for an independent infrastructure advisory board to be set up that decides where, when and how key state projects are to be built based on economic, environmental, social and practical considerations. In the case of the new port, there are merits for each option but what we need is a decision that will be most bene cial to the entire state, not just a few local MPs. These projects are too big to get wrong. \

couch surfings sad wave WERRIBEE

Between three and ve young people in Wyndham become homeless every week, according to support service Whitelion .

Outreach worker Roger Antochi said that in the past year there had been an increase in Wyndham young people between the ages of 15-25 with nowhere to live.

Many more young people in Wyndham without permanent homes were couch sur ng and relying on the generosity of friends.

Mr Antochi said he had met a young man who had been couch sur ng for a year but did not consider himself to be homeless.

He said that many young people who came to Whitelions Wyndham youth resource centre were victims of child abuse or domestic violence .

When I rst started, there were about two young people coming in each week, he said. Now, Im seeing up to ve.

Mr Antochi said that while Whitelion was able to help young people get back on their feet, the lack of crisis accommodation in Wyndham made things more challenging.

Wyndhams homeless young people are usually put up in a Footscray motel for a night before being transferred to suitable accommodation in Frankston or Melbournes CBD.

It means that young people are being taken out of the area and away from the people who may have been supporting them, Mr Antochi said.

He hopes that Whitelions major fund-raiser, the annual Bail Out,

will raise enough money to help more Wyndham young people. e May 30 event gives people a rst-hand look at what its like to be imprisoned.

Inmates are stripped of possessions, ngerprinted and

photographed before being taken to court, where they are sentenced to cell time. ey and their supporters must raise at least $1000 before they can be bailed.

e Bail Out is a unique opportunity to support us in the work we do, Mr Antochi said.

You can help make a signi cant di erence to a young persons life. \

legal advice that sticksWERRIBEE

A new road safety program is equipping Wyndham migrants with the knowledge to deal with car crashes.

e Had a Crash campaign a joint project of Werribee police, the Wyndham Humanitarian Network, Wyndham Legal Service and Tarneit MP Tim Pallas was created in response to the many migrant drivers frequenting Wyndhams roads.

Migrants are given educational stickers outlining, in their native tongue, the steps to take if they are involved in a smash. e information also includes their legal obligations in the a ermath .

Wyndham Humanitarian Network chairwoman Jennie Barrera said stickers were available in English, Karen, Burmese and Arabic. She said migrant drivers were o en extremely distressed following road smashes, in part because Australian road laws di er greatly from those in their homeland.

e sticker is a tool that will assist them to be independent and help themselves, Ms Barrera said. We have brought together the perspective of the police, our settlement workers and the Wyndham Legal Service to create the best sticker that tells them

step-by-step what to do. Karen migrant Say Htoo Eh Moero moved to Australia 14 years ago and works as a settlement o cer helping newly arrived residents, many of whom are learning to drive. It can be very challenging for people to learn all the road rules and remember everything when they start driving, she said. When I rst arrived I had to learn to drive, too, and I wish there had been stickers like these to help me

remember. Werribee police multicultural

liaison o cer Leading Senior Constable Richard Dove said many migrant drivers involved in crashes got into further trouble because

they didnt understand correct procedures. It can be devastating

when a newly arrived migrant discovers theyve not only had a crash but are now subject to charges which could see them heavily ned or facing a magistrate, he said.

e stickers will alleviate a lot of unnecessary worry and hardship on an already disadvantaged group of people.

e stickers are available from a clinic held every Monday from 10am to midday at Wyndham Legal Service, 10/2-14 Station Place, Werribee. \

give back to a hospital that gives so muchCHARITY

A Point Cook mother who credits sta at the Royal Childrens Hospital with saving her daughters life is urging people to support this weeks Good Friday Appeal.

Storm Spinks was only ve weeks old when she started to cough uncontrollably.

Her mother Ashley took Storm to two di erent general practitioners, who both said it was a viral infection and would pass with rest.

But the coughing ts worsened. When Storm stopped breathing on March 15, Ms Spinkss tiny daughter was rushed to the Royal Childrens.

Storm spent 10 days in a ward a er being diagnosed with whooping cough, a highly contagious bacterial disease that causes severe coughing ts and can be fatal for infants.

It was terrifying. Despite hearing the opinions of the two doctors, my mothers instinct told me something was really wrong, Ms Spinks said.

We had been keeping a close eye on her and the cough just seemed to be getting worse .

Ms Spinks said she felt at ease as soon as she walked through the doors of the hospital .

All the nurses were fantastic, they kept checking on Storm all the time. I was so worn out that I could rest there and get some sleep too.

Storm is now at home and nearing perfect health. e little girl is one of the

thousands of children treated at the hospital every day.

is Friday marks the hospitals 83rd Good Friday appeal. More than $258 million has been raised

since it began in 1931. Point Cook CFA volunteers will

doorknock homes in the Point Cook, Seabrook, Sanctuary Lakes and Werribee South areas on Friday as part of the appeal.

Shuttle buses will ferry collectors to and from locations between 9am and 3pm. \

If you head to Point Cooks Tom Roberts Reserve, dont be surprised if you spot Socceroos and Melbourne Victory star Archie Thompson among the parents lining the side of the soccer pitch, cheering on their children.

When hes not playing the game, Thompson loves to spend his time being a dad and for him, that means taking his kids to all their weekend sporting commitments. With son Axel, 8, taking to the field for the newly formed West Point Soccer Club, the Sanctuary Lakes-based striker is set to become a regular visitor to the reserve.

For nine years, Thompson and his family have called Point Cook home.

One of Australian soccers biggest names, the Melbourne Victory marquee player says he enjoys the serenity and friendliness of the suburb.

He and wife Emmy made a snap decision to move to Wyndham after Thompson signed on with Melbourne Victory for the inaugural A-League season in 2005. They spent the previous four years living in Belgium.

We made the rush decision to come back. I had a quick phone call with [former Victory coach] Ernie Merrick and decided to move back, he says.

My wife got my mother-in-law to have a look at houses for us and she came out this way. We liked the area so we got a place in Point Cook and then built in Sanctuary Lakes.

One of the initial drawcards to the area was the Sanctuary Lakes golf course.

Playing golf with a friend or just spending time on the driving range quickly became Thompsons way of letting go of the stresses of the weekends game. These days, he often takes to the green with his Victory teammates to relax.

In the past eight years, golf has been one of his biggest passions outside football.

Ive made a lot of great friends through golf, Thompson says.

Its great because the people Ive met out here on the course knew nothing about what I do so they just treated me like one of the lads, which was really good. I wasnt treated like a soccer player they were honest with me.

As the A-League and Melbourne Victorys popularity has grown over the past nine years, Thompsons public profile has risen, making him a household name.

And while there are times he cops abuse from rival and occasionally Victory supporters, he wouldnt have it any other way.

Here in Melbourne, the sport has grown and obviously being part of that, I am recognisable. But most people are friendly towards me.

Its just great that our code is growing. When I came back here nine years ago, I would never have been stopped and asked for an autograph.

Thompson remembers kicking his first ball at a really young age, inheriting his love of the game from his dad.

He recalls Sundays spent in parks with his parents, three brothers and two sisters playing soccer, with a professional contract and playing overseas mere dreams.

I love what the game has given me and my family. Ive enjoyed travelling places.

I love that rush of running out on to the pitch in a full stadium and scoring a winner or just winning a match. Theres nothing like that.

With the World Cup only two months away, Thompson is hoping to keep scoring goals and secure a place in the Socceroos squad that will head to Brazil.

He says pulling on the green and gold shirt for Australia one last time is one of his biggest goals.

I would probably hang up the boots internationally if I got to play. I would love to go. I know that if I play well and I just keep doing what I am doing I have a chance of being selected.

Playing for Australia is the pinnacle of my career. I dont think there is any better feeling than knowing the whole country is behind you.

Thompsons other big goal is to see out his playing days with Melbourne Victory. After nine years with the club hes in no hurry to leave AAMI Park.

Ive always played my best football here. Ive never wanted to leave. I have such a good relationship with the club and supporters.

In our sport, being a one-club man doesnt happen very often so it would be special to stay.

But the striker is also realistic that his time at the Victory might be drawing to a close.

Im getting on now and I know [the club] will probably be looking for younger players to come

through. But Im hoping to end my career here, Thompson says. I hope Ive got another couple of seasons in me I want to play at this level as long as I can.

So what does life post-Victory hold? Maybe coaching, Thompson says. Or perhaps a stint playing for a local club, as did former Socceroos Danny Tiatto and Craig Moore.

No matter what he ends up doing, Thompson hopes he can encourage others, especially kids, to have fun while playing soccer.

My philosophy is to smile because Im playing my best when Im not yelling at guys, he says. I want kids to have fun when theyre playing. \

inner west puts out the welcome mat for refugees asylum seekers

As thousands of people rallied around Australia on Sunday demanding better treatment of asylum seekers , inner-west residents are doing their bit to make refugees feel welcome.

e Care to Share Project is a series of events, including dinners, cooking classes and art installation, that will run during Refugee Week in June.

Project organisers Bree Anastasi, Danielle Entwistle and Kerry Sanders say they want to show the inner-west is a caring and sharing community.

Ms Sanders said the idea grew out of frustration about the treatment of asylum seekers and refugees.

We wanted it to be a big welcoming party, but it has evolved into this project, she said.

Hosts are being sought for e Welcome Table, a series of dinners in which families open their homes to a refugee family for an evening. e dinners will be captured by local photographers and the photos will feature at an art exhibition to be held during Refugee Week.

Members of the refugee community will hold cooking classes as part of the Cooking

Connections series. Participants will learn how to cook traditional dishes from the hosts country of origin and will meet members of the local refugee community .

e project is rounded out by I Hear You, an art installation comprising letters, pictures and story telling by members of the local refugee community.

Ms Sanders said the project stemmed from conversations started on

Facebook via the Inner West Buy Swap Sell page as well as the West Welcome Wagon page.

e West Welcome Wagon, founded by Yarravilles Mia

McGregor, is a way people can donate furniture, clothing and food to the

local asylum seeker community. e project kicks o as the Asylum Seeker

Resource Centre, opening in Footscray next month, celebrates the success of a crowd-funding campaign for a new Food Justice truck.

e campaign for the mobile food truck, helping asylum seekers access a ordable fresh and healthy food, raised more than $153,000 through the support of 970 donors. \

broken station lifts a discriminationLAVERTON

ree of the four li s at the $93 million Laverton railway station are broken, leaving wheelchair passengers and people with prams stranded on the platform.

Laverton resident Lesley Ould said it was impossible for anyone with a pram or wheelchair to use the steep steps.

My daughters got a pram and four little kids. We were going to the city and had to get someone to help us li the pram down.

My husbands got a wheelchair and he couldnt come. ey used to say you can walk down to Aircra [station], but how can you if youre old? eres no way you could because its too far.

Metro this week directed people with special needs to travel to Aircra station, about a kilometre away.

Western suburbs Greens MP Colleen Hartland said Laverton station, unlike most with elevated entrances, had no ramps. Passengers with a disability and the elderly are being denied freedom of movement; its discrimination, she said.

e li s have been breaking down since the day this station opened.

We need a permanent x and I believe that would be through building of ramps which never break down. A er the Weeklys inquiries, Metro spokeswoman Pauline OConnor said on Monday that a li maintenance crew visited Laverton station the same day to repair one of the li s. ere are two other li s at the

station that have also experienced faults, and we are waiting for parts

to arrive from overseas and will carry out these repairs as soon as possible, she said.

We are advising customers with special needs such as those

in wheelchairs, using mobility aids and with prams to speak

with station sta , who will assist them in travelling to nearby Aircra station. We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused to our customers who use the li s.

Ramps will be installed at Footscray station, which has also experienced numerous li breakdowns . \

Venturing to Africa to immerse herself in village life while helping children and animals has always been a dream for Werribees Samantha Preuss.

Next year, Preuss, 19, will make her dream a reality when she volunteers in four South African towns as part of a month-long community development program with Volunteer Eco Students Abroad.

Preuss says her role caring for animals at a Hoppers Crossing pet store inspired her to volunteer.

The former Galvin Park Secondary College student, who finished VCE last year, has deferred tertiary studies to raise money for the African trip.

This way I get to go see a place I have always dreamed of, but Im also doing something worthwhile and rewarding during my stay, she says.

I also believe by volunteering you are able to become really involved in the day-to-day living of the communities and learn more about how they live.

In Africa, Preuss will spend more than 40 hours in schools, teaching children English and helping remote communities improve infrastructure.

I will be able to work with the children at the schools as well as help them build much-needed classrooms and facilities, she says. We will also be helping to re-paint and restore school buildings that are in need of work.

Preuss, who will depart on January 4, will also work in wildlife parks, feeding and caring for cheetahs and crocodiles.

She hopes to raise $6000 for the program. This will cover her flights; hiring local tradesmen to help with building projects; building materials; and donations to schools and organisations in need in the communities she visits. \

MAN of stEEL \ Andrew McUtchen exAMines the new fAces

One of the hardest industries to break into as a new brand is luxury watches. From the outset youre up against companies with multi-generational

watchmaking expertise, unimpeachable luxury status and, in many cases, histories longer than colonial Australia.

But try new brands will, and succeed a small number do. Some for their counter-culture approach that offers a slightly rebellious alternative to the conservative, slow-moving nature of the biggest players.

The disruption can be as simple as introducing a new design, such as making a traditionally round case square, as does Bell & Ross signature design. Another approach is for a player to build their cachet around a heroic modern story. Others just come in cheaper. Welook at an example of each below. \

[email protected]

BELL & Ross EstABLisHED \ 1992 PRiCE PoiNt \ $5K+

Story \ The first decade of Bell & Ross life was essentially re-issuing co-branded pieces by German watchmaker Sinn. In 2002, the designer and businessman behind the brand began to develop the iconic style its known for now. Model \ The BR 03 launched at Baselworld in late March is vintage Bell & Ross, if there can be such a thing for such a young brand, with its brash orange canvas NATO strap and boxy case design, which references an in-flight instrument. Wearer \ Bold colourings on the dial, hands and markers complete a piece for people making their own way on their own terms and who are not needing traditional status symbols to prove it. RRP \ $7500

BREMoNt EstABLisHED \ 2002 PRiCE PoiNt \ $4K+

Story \ Its a tearjerker. The English brothers lost their father in a plane crash in 1995. Their tribute to him would be a watch brand, developed in England and pitched squarely at the aeronautical space with a focus on extreme hardiness for extreme piloting situations. Model \ Like most Bremont pieces, the MBIII is relatively unadorned compared with most brands, but the quality is still apparent where it counts, with gleaming sapphire crystal glass and knurled pushers.Wearer \ Its for no-fuss men of action who draw comfort from knowing their watch has been tested to survive ejector-seat activation and other non-suburban extremes. RRP \ $6760

sEVENfRiDAYEstABLisHED \ 2012 PRiCE PoiNt \ $1.2K+

Story \ A social-media success story, SevenFriday watches were placed on influential tastemakers on Instagram, in particular, and the brand blew up. Everyone wanted one before they were even available. Model \ The P1 and P2 models are also eye-catchingly square and oversized, but feature a busier, partly open-worked dial design that gives viewers a glimpse of its mechanical movement at its heart. Wearer \ The hybrid of industrial and avant-garde styling is ingenious and will appeal to people with strong, unique aesthetic sensibilities. Models come in a range of bright colours as well as the core metal pieces, so the fashion-forward can go to town. RRP \ $1200 (su

\ JANE ROCCA TAPS INTO DESIGNER KARA LIUS NEW YORK STATE OF MIND

Fash

ion

kara liu

Theres something about New York thats got Kara Liu hooked. The Shanghai-born designer spent three months in Manhattan last year for an internship with Alexander Wang before

returning to Australia to launch her own label.Drawn to the Big Apples energy and charisma, and inspired by

the refined elegance of the fashion set, Liu translated the citys best features for her commercial debut collection.

I grew up in Shanghai and I love big cities, Liu says. But New York has always been special because I feel connected to the people.

Liu speaks highly of New Yorks buzzing streets of fashion lovers. New Yorkers are many things they are elegant, refined but also bold and daring, she says.

They are quite romantic, but also very realistic, hardworking and efficient. They get things done. They always wear the classics but wear them creatively. The clothes always complement the wearer, never overtaking him or her, and these things align perfectly with my own design philosophy.

Lius choice of fabrics reflects this wintry New York influence. Theres plenty of luxurious wool and alpaca textures in her collection, but she calls on heavy structured silks to soften the silhouette. The RMIT fashion graduate works from a city studio and splits her time between Melbourne and Shanghai.

Liu says she would have become a surgeon if she had followed the footsteps of her parents. I went on a school trip to Melbourne in grade6 from Newcastle and absolutely loved it, says the designer whose mother was then doing her PhD in Newcastle.

My mum then made the decision for us to move to Melbourne when I was 14. We love the lifestyle and mum felt that Australia was an environment that suited me better than Shanghai.

Working as an intern at Alexander Wang in New York was a fashion highlight for Liu, although her time there was cut short so she could return to Melbourne for LOral Melbourne Fashion

Week 2013, where her collection was selected as part of the National Graduate Showcase Runway.

It was an incredible experience to assist the designers and work alongside the best pattern-makers in New York, she says. I had the opportunity to see how the company operates, as well as get first-hand knowledge of the New York garment industry. Assisting backstage at a major show was an experience likeno other, she says of helping on the ready-to-wear fall and resort collections.

For her own collection, Liu keenly follows simple design aesthetics. She plots this seasons message on reminders of New York; from the grey winter skies to concrete skyscrapers and flashing neon lights.

Shes big on box pleats, organza and geometrical shapes, pinning her fashion forecast on all that is a tad unusual.

A capsule collection by Liu is also available in Glue stores nationally this sub range is a result of her winning the 1% Glue fashion design competition last year.

Titled [SLEEP. WORK. PLAY.], it is an exploration into the simple joys of domestic life, inspired by the familiar

and the sensation of comfort of home, Liu says. The collection combines my edited, minimal design

aesthetics with Glues relaxed, fun-loving lifestyle. It has been such a fun collaboration and a great experience for me to be immersed in the commercial end of the industry.

The driven designer has also collaborated with Australian footwear label Belmore Bootmakers to complement her capsule collection.

We share modern, refined, minimal aesthetics, which is reflected in the collaboration range, Liu says.

It is a very beautifully edited range that promotes design and longevity. All the shoes are made by skilled craftsmen in Belmores NSW factory and available in their stores now. \

Look beyond the modest exterior of this renovated weatherboard in central Werribee and youll discover a versatile family house with universal appeal.

Behind a wire fence and the formal garden featuring a lavender hedge, roses and daphne, the double-fronted weatherboard (circa 1956) retains its terrazzo-tiled front verandah and ironwork after its refurbishment about eight years ago. The secure double-door entry opens to the central hall with polished floorboards.

To the left is the lounge room with patterned floorboards, older-style Fujitsu air-conditioner and Rinnai EnergySaver gas heater.

It adjoins the kitchen, which incorporates stainless-steel appliances (underbench Blanco oven and four-burner gas cooktop), tiled splashback, double fridge cavity, and Fisher & Paykel dishwasher.

A doorway leads on one side to the rear laundry with broom cupboard and the separate toilet and on the other, to the covered entertainment area. Complete with in-deck

lighting, the year-round, 6-metre x 8-metre space is highlighted by a corner fireplace with copper flue, ceiling fan, external speakers, UV blinds and basic kitchen to the side.

Its complemented by a rear bungalow that could be used as a guest bedroom, office (for a home business) or playroom.

A shed, vegetable patch and single garage behind the side gate complete the external features on the 528-square-metre block.

Back inside and across the hall from the lounge is the main bedroom, which includes

built-in wardrobes, ornate ceiling fan and a garden view through its large windows.

It is close to the updated bathroom with corner shower, compact bath, IXL Mirage heat lamp, large mirror and vanity. One of the two nearby bedrooms has a built-in wardrobe.

Extras include evaporative cooling, Foxtel connection and a 2500-litre water tank.

The position is also hard to beat: a short walk from the station, bus, schools, river parkland and Watton Street shopping. \
