give us our growth money, say greensTRANSPORT

� e state government has been accused of hoarding almost $3 million in taxes intended to boost public transport in Wyndham.

Greens state leader Greg Barber called last week for the money to be spent immediately on � xing problems with the municipality’s public transport and bus services.

Mr Barber said $23.5 million from the Growth Areas Public Transport Fund was ‘‘stashed away’’ by the government, including more than $2.9 million intended for Wyndham .

� e money, collected by the State Revenue O� ce, comes from the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution and is for essential infrastructure in Melbourne’s

growth areas . Figures released by the Greens show that in the two years to June 30 last year, only 2.3 per cent ($66,780) of the total tax collected for Wyndham had been used on infrastructure .

Mr Barber said public transport was not keeping up with population growth.

And he said there was a desperate need for more bus lines in Wyndham to take commuters to train stations as car parks were stretched beyond capacity.

“It leaves locals with only one choice . . . to run a car for every adult in the family and spend large amounts of time ferrying the kids from place to place,” he said.

Public Transport Users Association spokesman Daniel Bowen echoed Mr Barber’s call for the money to be spent.

He said most buses in the municipality ran every 40 minutes, even during peak hour.

“Buses also get caught in tra� c, and crowding on the Werribee line is getting worse so it’s no wonder most people drive,” Mr Bowen said.

Transport Minister Terry Mulder’s spokesman said the government had boosted the number of weekly train trips on the Werribee line by 181 since 2010.

“� ere is now a train approximately every 11 minutes during the peak, as well as more express trains for faster journeys,” he said.

� e spokesman said the number of weekly bus trips in the Point Cook area tripled, from 697 to 2120, as part of the opening of Williams Landing station last year. \

hospital must waitfor funding details

HEALTH

Werribee Mercy Hospital won’t know if it s budget will be cut by the federal government until May, despite Labor Party claims that health funding has been slashed.

� e ALP has accused the government of planning to cut funding to Victorian hospitals by $277 million.

Lalor’s Labor MP, Joanne Ryan, said Mercy Health would lose $8.3 million.

But a hospital spokeswoman said it wouldn’t know until the federal budget on May 13.

Health Minister Peter Dutton said the revised budgets being used by Labor were based on the previous government’s funding agreement with the states and territories, and they were only estimates.

He said that under the agreement, annual funding was based on factors including hospital activity and population growth, meaning funding levels varied from year to year.

“Labor cut funding to public hospitals by $1.5 billion in the 2012-13 mid-year economic and � scal outlook based on its agreement with the states,’’ Mr Dutton said. ‘‘� is created signi� cant di� culties for states, coming as it did mid-� nancial year and by withdrawing money that states had already factored into their budgets. � e � gures, the so-called ‘funding cuts’ they are trying to use in that scare campaign, are projections based on Labor’s own formula.” \

ENVIRONMENT

More Wyndham residents are choosing to harness the power of the sun, with new � gures showing the municipality had among the highest number of roo� op solar panels installed in Victoria last year.

According to the federal government’s Clean Energy Regulator, Hoppers Crossing, Tarneit, Werribee and Point Cook were among suburbs leading a switch to solar.

Suburbs with the postcode 3029 – including Tarneit, Hoppers Crossing and Truganina – had 4268 solar panels installed in the 12 months to January this year.

Postcode 3030 – including Point Cook, Werribee and Altona – had 3784 installations .

Tarneit has the highest percentage of solar-powered homes in Victoria: 18.6 per cent.

Werribee couple Sari Smith and Antony Skipper took out a loan to install solar panels on the roof of their home � ve years ago.

“Within a short time we produced a third more power than we were using and getting back 66 cents per kilowatt,” Ms Smith said.

“We paid o� the loan within two years and now make an annual pro� t of between $800 and $1000 .” \ MC (M

jobs, courses go with vic university funding cutsTAFE

Drastic cuts to TAFE funding by the federal and state governments have forced Victoria University to shed jobs and a large number of courses, according to its annual report.

� e 2013 annual report, tabled in Parliament earlier this month, shows a $31.7 million decline in the university’s revenue for the year compared to 2012.

A $26.6 million decrease in Commonwealth funding contributed to the fall, as did an $18.5 million drop in state government funding via direct cuts and a resulting loss of student payments. But the losses were partly o� set by higher student fees and other income.

Footscray MP Marsha � omson said the report show ed direct state government funding ha d halved from $18.9 million to $9.7 million, pushing VU TAFE to the brink of � nancial collapse.

“Since $1.2 billion in TAFE cuts [over four years] were announced in 2012, thousands of jobs are gone, course fees have increased, courses were scrapped and campuses were forced to close,” she said.

“Denis Napthine has no idea of the damage he’s done to TAFE campuses and communities across Victoria, especially in Footscray.”

� e report shows almost 100 full-time teaching jobs have been lost, down from

414 in 2012 to only 320 last year. But Higher Education and Skills Minister Nick Wakeling said the annual reports by Victoria’s TAFEs showed they continued to focus on training

in skills shortages. “Victoria’s TAFE sector is in the middle of an exciting

transformation to help ensure it continues to deliver high-quality training that leads to better outcomes for students, employers

and industry,” he said.Mr Wakeling said the government

ha d committed “record funding for training delivery of $1.2 billion per year’’.

A government spokeswoman said the government support ed a system that gave students choices and job outcomes.

“In the current training market, funding follows the student, and not the institution. So if a provider’s TAFE enrolments increase, then funding from the Victorian Coalition government will increase, too.”

She said the job losses re� ected an organisational restructure by the VU last year in line with changing student demand.

Senior lecturer Paul Adams said the cuts had a signi� cant impact on sta� and students, particularly disadvantaging the most vulnerable.

� e Weekly earlier this month reported VU sta� fear the loss of a further 170 jobs if management pursues plans to outsource services. \

masters of the equestrian artsWERRIBEE

A mother and daughter are among hundreds of competitors taking part in this week’s Equestrian Victoria Masters Games at Werribee Park . More than 220 riders have entered for the mature-age competition, which runs from Friday to Sunday.

Vicki Sykes, 53, has been involved with horses for as long as she can remember, an a� ection she shares with daughter Tracy , 27.

While Vicki is usually the one helping Tracy, the Geelong pair will switch roles for the event, with Tracy helping her mum strap Twiggy, a thoroughbred former racehorse.

Vicki says the games give both her’s and the family’s retired racehorses a chance to compete again. “It gives the horses another life a� er racing,” she says. “But it also allows us to take new horses into a racing environment before they begin racing.”

� is year’s games will showcase a Pas De Deux, a competitive dressage performance to music by two horses and riders.

� ere will also be a historic carriage show with carriages that have appeared in movies including Phar Lap, Ned Kelly and Australia.

General admission is free. \ MC

Police said the man, 18, had held his driver’s licence for only � ve weeks. His Ford Laser was impounded. He will be charged on summons for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45 km/h. \

arrests over petrol theftsPolice have arrested two men following a spate of petrol thefts across Melbourne. Search warrants were last week executed by detectives of Wyndham, Melton and Hobsons Bay police at three properties across the western suburbs. One property was on Snowden Street , Laverton, with the others in Eyre Street, Melton. A Laverton man, 34, and a Melton man, 32, were arrested . Investigators seized more than 800 litres of petrol . A hydroponic cannabis set-up was also found in Melton, as were drugs and weapons. Police suspect the men were involved in about 48 incidents dating back to July last year . \

miss the lift? Catch a cabLaverton Community Association is urging commuters affected by broken lifts at Laverton train station to complain to Public Transport Victoria and make use of free taxis being provided by Metro from Laverton. Laverton-bound commuters were advised to get off at Williams Landing for lift access at the weekend. As reported by the Weekly , two of the lifts will be out of order for weeks, awaiting parts from China. Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn said he would take up the matter with Metro. “In the meantime, it [Metro] will pay for taxis for those who need them,” he said. \

BRIEFS

mp seeks more cash for outer westSTATE BUDGET

� e outer west’s booming population will place immense strain on roads and public transport unless urgent funding arrives in the May 6 state budget, a Wyndham MP warns.

Tarneit Labor MP Tim Pallas said Wyndham’s infrastructure was not coping with its annual growth of 12,000 people .

As reported by the Weekly, new population data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveals Wyndham’s population rose by 98 per cent between June 2003 and June last year, from 95,776 to 189,618.

Mr Pallas said Wyndham desperately needed a $90 million investment to extend Armstrong Road – including an overpass

of the rail line – to join with the Princes Freeway. He also called for funding to pave the way for duplication of over -congested roads, including Derrimut, Heaths, Sayers and Palmer roads.

Mr Pallas said the government must commit more funding to outer metropolitan roads.

“� ere is 17 per cent more tra� c in Tarneit, Hoppers Crossing and Werribee, which is having a dramatic e� ect on liveability for people in the area,” he said.

‘‘Arterial roads in Wyndham are over- capacity and constantly congested.”

Mr Pallas said Wyndham also had among the worst transport network connections in

the state, with few buses running a� er 9pm.

Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Andrew Elsbury would not comment on what items he

had suggested for budget funding, but he told the Weekly his list for the outer

west was extensive.He said the government had

been forced to make some tough decisions this year.

“Unfortunately, we can’t spend the entire budget on Wyndham,” he

said. “I’m sure I could � nd a way to spend it all

on the region if given the chance, but that’s not realistic.” \

My shout Like most budgetary measures, the Abbott government’s plan to increase the retirement age to 70 will be strongly felt in the north-western suburbs. While I can imagine sitting at a desk writing missives such as this well into old age, it’s a lot to ask for people whose work is mostly labour intensive. For those who can’t work until they’re 70, the � nancial burden will be worse. Blue-collar workers approaching retirement age have not had the bene� t of superannuation most of their working lives. Superannuation wasn’t compulsory and was mostly a management perk until the early 1990s, meaning many people approaching retirement won’t have a signi� cant nest egg. Small-business people, stay-at-home mums and migrants will be even worse off. Meanwhile, the government has axed the Income Super Contribution scheme for low-income earners. \

care for a Pup who’ll care for usWyndham residents are being urged to consider opening their homes, and hearts, to an assistance puppy.

Labrador Dee Dee (pictured) recently gave birth to a litter of seven and Assistance Dogs Australia is looking for carers for them.

Trainer Dee Moore said raising an assistance dog allowed people to give back to the community, with the added bonus of caring for a cute puppy.

“Puppy-raisers and sitters will teach these pups to undertake tasks that are di� cult, or even impossible, for people with physical disabilities,’’ she said.

‘‘� ey’ll teach them to pick up all sorts of objects, such as mobile phones and keys, and make sure they’re able to alert bark when required.

‘‘You can also take the pups to the shops, cafes, on public transport and even to the cinema as it is all these experiences that will help them become an assistance dog.”

Ms Moore will help train the puppies, who will stay in their new homes for 14 months before going to Sydney for advanced training. \

brothers do a powerful job, to tonga’s delightsolar farm

Long-standing power problems in Tonga have been eased in part thanks to the work of Werribee-raised Shane Kennedy and his younger brother, Nicholas Guys .

� e brothers, who live and work in Brisbane, recently completed a seven-month contract to build a 500-kilowatt hybrid solar farm on the island of Vava’u .

“� e whole experience was awesome,” said Mr Kennedy, who undertook all the electrical and safety equipment installation.

“We had a ceremony when it was completed and met Tongan royalty and other o� cials. Seeing it come together felt great.”

� e solar farm was opened by Crown Prince Tupouto’a ’Ulukalala last December .

It produces enough energy to cover about 13 per cent of Vava’u’s annual electricity needs and up to 70 per cent of demand during peak hours.

� eir mother, Suzanne Guys , who lives in Bacchus Marsh, said she was proud of how

much her sons had achieved in installing 1680 panels.

“My youngest, Nicholas, supervised the trench digging and looked a� er a team of local workers, who only worked by hand,” she said.

Mr Kennedy said the Tongans made the brothers feel right at home

with their friendliness and generosity, even when many had so little.

“It was quite � attering, actually, when they kept taking

my shirts and wearing them around, and eventually they all had

one,” he said, laughing. “When I asked them why, they said they

all wanted to look like me.”� e Vava’u solar farm is part of the Outer

Islands Renewable Energy Project, which includes eight other Tongan islands.

� e project is designed to help Tonga reduce its fossil fuel imports for power generation by half and ease the nation’s carbon footprint and million-dollar diesel bills. \

forum to probe race actmulticulturalism

A western suburbs forum will give residents and community groups an opportunity to discuss proposed changes to the Racial Discrimination Act next week.

Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane and state shadow parliamentary secretary for multicultural a� airs Telmo Languiller will speak at the forum, organised by Gellibrand MP Tim Watts.

Mr Watts said Dr Soutphommasane and Mr Languiller would discuss what the changes meant for the community.

“If you’re concerned about the impact the changes to the Racial Discrimination Act will have on our multicultural Australia, please come along to the forum so that your voice can be heard,” he said.

“We are keen to hear from people who want to learn more about changes to the act and wish to protect the multicultural society in Melbourne’s west .”

In a recent Nielsen poll, 88 per cent of respondents believed it should be unlawful to o� end, insult or humiliate based on race. Attorney-General George Brandis has

defended the changes by arguing that in a free country “people do have rights to say things that other people � nd insulting or o� ensive or bigoted”.

Senator Brandis said the federal government intend ed to repeal the sections of the Racial Discrimination Act that News Limited columnist Andrew Bolt was found

guilty of breaching.“I have always said that freedom

of speech and the need to protect people from racial vili� cation are not inconsistent objectives,” he said.

Dr Soutphommasane argues there is nothing wrong with the

current laws. “People see no need to change laws that have been in place for almost 20 years, laws which have worked well,” he told the ABC. “It’s important that we have laws that re� ect our commitment to values of civility, decency and racial tolerance .”

� e forum will be in the Maribyrnong council reception room, corner Hyde and Napier streets, Footscray, from 3-4.30pm on Friday, May 2. \

A Hoppers Crossing girl is chasing her dream of becoming a star all the way to the bright lights of Hollywood.

Airez Coyle’s mother, Jayde Tadic, says the six-year-old sparkles when she is on stage.

Airez has been selected from more than 600 young Australian hopefuls to perform in front of Hollywood company iPop!in Los Angeles this July.

The scouting agency travelled to Australia earlier this year and invited the Woodville Primary School pupil to attend a workshop with leading models and actors.

Ms Tadic says Airez was born to perform and found her niche at a young age after being inspired by her eight-year-old brother, Seven, who has autism.

“It’s been difficult for Airez at times because of Seven’s special needs, and she has had to grow up faster than a lot of other kids her age,” she says.

“From a young age Airez has been doing things to make her brother laugh and to entertain us all.

“Seven needs a lot of attention, which Airez understands, but as her mum I wanted to see her having something that was for her. This is her time to shine.”

Ms Tadic and Airez, who began dancing at Wyndham’s Westside Dance two years ago, will travel to Los Angeles on July 1.

Airez will spend two weeks performing in front of casting directors, including a dance and monologue. If successful, she will be registered with a casting agency.

Airez, whose singing idol is Taylor Swift, says she wants to be a singer and model.

“I love to sing and dance. It’s the most fun out of everything,” she says. \

It’s a ritual that’s been played out for centuries … across the hillside villages of Sicily, people troop to the door of the local farmer-cheesemaker to collect fresh-cooked hot ricotta for lunch.

The scene repeats itself in a somewhat surprising location, with Italians from all over Melbourne flocking to the city’s industrial heartland every Sunday for an authentic taste of the old country.

Men, women and children armed with an array of saucepans, bowls and buckets line up at the Alba Cheese factory shop in Tullamarine waiting for the next batch of ricotta to “flower”.

As the proteins rise to the top of the simmering whey and clump together they are scooped steaming into receptacles customers have brought from home.

“It’s a tradition – first church for Mass and then here for cheese,” says Gina Agliozzo, of Avondale Heights, as she joins a cheerful, chatty queue.

The story of Alba Cheese begins in Sortino, a Sicilian village with a population of just 9000 people. It was there on a dairy farm owned by their father that brothers Mario and Gaetano Bongiorno first learned to make fine Italian cheese.

They discovered on migrating to Australia in the 1960s that this was not a terribly useful skill in a country where Kraft processed cheese dominated the household market.

Like many new migrants they first found employment as labourers, before being able to return to their craft in one of the first Italian cheese-making companies established in Melbourne.

By the late 1970s, the two men were ready to strike out on their own and they bought three lots in Assembly Drive, Tullamarine.

Their factory opened in 1982: the obvious name for the business founded by the Brothers Good Morning – as Bongiorno translates – was Alba, meaning dawn.

And true to the business name, for the next 30 years Mario and Gaetano would be at work well before the first light broke, getting up at 2am to be at work by 3am and often working until 7pm – seven days a week.

“I brought up our three boys by myself and there were times I felt like a widow,” says Gaetano’s wife, Lena, who is also Alba’s office manager.

But the work has paid off. Today Alba Cheese occupies five lots and produces 30 award-winning cheese products, from the finest ricotta and feta to stretch curd cheeses like bocconcini, mozzarella and haloumi through to matured pecorino and parmesan.

“The point of difference between this company and, say, one like Bonlac is that here things are still done manually,” Lena says.

“Nothing is done by machinery. It’s still made the old-fashioned way.

“We have our own farms as well. We have a truck that picks up milk from the farms each day, carries it down, puts it in our tank. We take it out of the tank and produce cheese out of it.

“We don’t take cream out of it, we don’t separate cream and water, so it all goes into our cheese.”

Alba Cheese churns through 60,000 litres of milk a day, enough to make 5-6 tonnes of mozzarella and 2.5 tonnes of ricotta – the much-loved by-product of the cheese-making process.

Some of the products like the dried salt-crusted ricotta salata actually have a waiting list of customers.

As Lena explains: “We simply cannot make enough of that because it has to be made from ricotta that is left over. And, well, we never have ricotta left over. So sometimes – because people are so demanding of it – we actually do a whole ricotta production just to make

that product.” And it’s not just for the local market. Increasingly, Alba is making its name abroad.

Production has increased by almost one third in the past 18 months, thanks largely to a growing Asian appetite for dairy products in general.

During the recent (March 2014) International Food and Beverage Trade Week almost one third of the South East Asian delegates elected to visit Alba Cheese and that’s already translated into new business.

“Four years ago they didn’t know what bocconcini

was, now they can’t get enough of it,” Lena says with a laugh.

But the success of Alba goes way beyond this factory and its 66 permanent employees.

A whole community of Italian wholesale businesses has grown up around the cheese factory, turning Assembly Drive into one of the best food and grocery shopping destinations in Melbourne.

Blessed, indeed, are the cheese-makers. \ [email protected]

The Great Ocean Road is one of Victoria’s most scenic drives but, for a weekend in May, it belongs to runners.

Starting at Lorne and ending at Apollo Bay, the Great Ocean Road Marathon on May 17-18 takes in some of the most spectacular views Victoria has to o� er. It was � rst held 10 years ago by the Apollo Bay Chamber of Commerce to attract people to the area. It has grown to include six events over two days and, this year, about 6000 runners.

Race director Greg Hooton says the event’s appeal is simple. “It’s probably the most stunning course in the world; you’re running with the sea on the le� and then the hills on the right,” he says.

A marathon takes about three hours for the elite athletes having a crack, or about � ve hours for mere mortals. What to do for the rest of the weekend?

Well, plenty. � e Otways and towns along the Great Ocean Road welcome visitors; here are some of our picks. \

Champagne-living on cider prices is the order of the day at Pisces Holiday Park. Set on a rise on the way into town, the holiday park has immaculate cabins that can sleep up to seven. The park also offers en suite caravan sites and powered and unpowered sites. Whatever the option, listening to the sound of the sea as you go to sleep … priceless.

Port Campbell is about 90 kilometres from the marathon � nish line at Apollo Bay. Combine the drive with a trip to the Twelve Apostles and you have a great wind down after a challenging weekend. But don’t let the indulgence end there; spoil yourself with a stay at the Southern Ocean Villas. The minimalist exteriors belie luxe, contemporary interiors that feature sleek styling and European � ttings and � xtures. The villas house up to six people – enough for a couple of runners and their support crew – and are a short stroll to Port Campbell’s shops and restaurants. \

Matt Bradshaw made quite a leap of faith when he bought a near-derelict general store in Forrest more than 10 years ago and turned it into a brewery. Matt says he came for a � shing trip and “never really left”. He was joined by his sister Sharon a few years later, and the duo have turned the brewery into a destination in its own right. They also run an utterly charming café/restaurant. Business must be good – they have just bought another site to expand the brewery. It’s an ideal spot to stop on your way home or carb load on the way to the race. \

Books \ ALPINE ARCHITECTURE CoULd woRk HERE Too, wRITEs CoRRIE PERkIN

At first glance, the traditional European mountain chalet might appear to have little in common with the lifestyles and domestic needs of 21st-century Melburnians.

Made of logs and with sloping rooflines designed to cope with heavy snowfalls, the original alpine chalets were used only during the summer as herdsmen’s huts. Abandoned in winter, these buildings had to be simple in design, practical and resilient.

In their new book, Chalets: Trendsetting Mountain Treasures, architecture writers Michelle Galindo and Sophie Steybe recall the development of the chalet from herdsmen’s hut to alpine institution.

“Jean-Jacques Rousseau used the word ‘chalet’ in the mid-18th century,’’ they write in their preface.

“It was at this time that his theories regarding a simple, sublime life in connection with nature were of particular importance.

“The gentry built romantic huts in landscape gardens, and around the end of the 18th century this building type became typical of wild-romantic, picturesque mountain architecture.’’

Chalet architecture found a new fan base during the mid-19th century when alpine travel became the rage, particularly among English walking groups.

whAT TO READ …

Chalets: Trendsetting Mountain Treasures \ by Michelle Galindo and Sophie Steybe » $120 (Braun)

balconies and terraces that catch the sun; extensive use of natural materials such as stone and timber; fittings and furnishings that create intimate and cosy environments.

Take, for example, the Timotheé Georgis Architects-designed chalet in Switzerland’s Leysin area. This simple timber construction is an example of the kind of dwelling I wish we’d see more frequently in the hillier, less densely populated suburbs of Melbourne’s east and north-east. It is elegant, it feels roomy (despite its small 67-square-metre footprint) and it allows for comfortable living.

Even in a built-up inner suburb such as Richmond or South Melbourne, its design principles could easily be adapted to create a very special domestic environment.

The Norwegian winter cabin created by Oslo design team Christian’s & Hennie is another example of what we might recreate in, say, a South Yarra townhouse, a St Kilda Road apartment, or Fitzroy warehouse conversion.

Large windows allow the light to beam in, while the neutral walls and floors give a spacious feeling to each room.

The quiet backgrounds also allow contemporary furniture pieces, vases, lightshades, candles and the like to become the heroes of each room.

Properties such as the Dornbirn house in Austria, or Casa Prè De Sura in Badia, Italy, could easily fit in to the beach landscapes of the Great Ocean Road, or Blairgowrie back beach.

Braun Publishing has a well-deserved reputation for producing quality themed architecture books.

We congratulate the authors on this carefully curated and well-researched volume. \

“The bourgeoisie built themselves villas in chalet style,” wite Galindo and Steybe. “These had little in common with herdsmen’s huts, only the building outline, with a shallow sloping roof and large roof overhangs, and the materials used, remained true to the original form.”

Chalets presents some of the world’s most stylish mountain residences. Each project reflects either a remodelled old chalet, or a new development built to reflect the chalet style and honour its design attributes.

With 500 colour images, floor plans and brief introductions of around 200 words, readers are introduced to an unfamiliar, yet highly appealing, architectural genre. Having devoured this book, I can see many links between good chalet architecture and the things we value in our own Australian domestic spaces.

fiLMOnly Lovers Left Alive \ Rated M, 123 min» cinemanova.com.au

This new, languorous vampire romance from Jim Jarmusch isn’t your usual fanged fare. There’s no love-struck teens or sparkly immortals. Instead, Adam (Tom Hiddleston) and Eve (Tilda Swinton) are a pair of estranged, ancient lovers, more or less enjoying a rarefied existence at the edges of the human world. In Adam’s case, he’s enjoying things decidedly less.

Despite living out some alienated rock-star dream in a haunted house, listening to old vinyl and recording gloomy post-rock music, Adam has bought a wooden bullet and plans to end it all.

There’s little more to the story than this, but you don’t come to a Jarmusch film for the plot. Only Lovers Left Alive has a seductive, somnambulant and post-apocalyptic air, heightened by the extended sequences in a nocturnal Detroit. As our anti-heroes bemoan humanity’s capacity for self-destruction, the evidence is rarely off-screen. This reimagining of the undead as moral superiors – killing victims is described as “so mediaeval” – is, perhaps, Jarmusch’s boldest stroke. He eschews campy mythology for science, Adam creating improbable electrical gadgets and feeding from hospital blood bags. The lovers refer to humans as “zombies”, whereas they are truly romantic figures in every sense: glamorous philosophers, rubbing shoulders with the good and the great. The unearthly Swinton is perfect casting as an ageless thing, while Hiddleston remains charming throughout his melancholy. Like the film, they are clever, moody and quite genuinely cool. \

SALE ENDS APRIL SATURDAY 26TH @ 4PM


Every spring, Australian winemakers travel to the northern hemisphere to help make wine. It’s part holiday, part education and, after a few weeks,

they return to their wineries and the start of a new growing season.

But every now and then one stays. Jane Eyre is one who stayed.

Eyre’s journey to Burgundy started in the 1990s when she was working as a hairdresser.

With a holiday to Europe booked, she organised some work at a Bordeaux winery through a hairdressing client. The holiday proved to be the start of a new career.

“I came back here and enrolled in a winemaking degree at Charles Sturt University and ended up working at the St Kilda Prince Wine Store,” Eyre says.

“Working there was great – there was great enthusiasm and we sold wines from all over the world. It was great palate training.

“Every time we did dinners with someone interesting, I’d call them and ask if I could do vintage with them.”

Working at the Prince Wine Store gave Eyre the flexibility to spend time at wineries during the vintage harvest.

“I’d go back to Burgundy for harvest every year, plus a couple of vintages in New Zealand with Ata Rangi and Craggy Range and with Vanya Cullen (in Margaret River).”

At the end of 2003, South Melbourne Prince Wine Store opened and Eyre was offered the job of manager at the now-closed St Kilda shop. The job came with a catch – she wouldn’t be able to take three months off a year to make wine.

“I thought ‘if I don’t go now I’ll never go’,” says Eyre, and a few months later she was working for the highly regarded Burgundy producer Domaine des Comtes Lafon.

Eyre has been assistant winemaker at Domaine Newman since 2006. In 2011 she made the first wine, a pinot noir, under her own label, Jane Eyre.

“At first I wanted to make wines in one of the more prestigious regions – Pommard, Volnay, for example,” Eyre says.

“Then I got calls from two friends to say there was a parcel of fruit at Savigny-les-Beaune, which wasn’t on the radar, but I went to see the vineyard and the grower was someone I knew – he lived up the road from my in-laws and had even been to my wedding.”

Eyre added a Gevrey-Chambertin to the range in 2012 and at the same time started making pinot noir in Australia with friend William Downie.

“Bill Downie gave me access to the best parcels of wine that he has,” says Eyre, who makes pinot noir from the Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland.

“I’m here too late for the Yarra, but really wanted to make wine from Gippsland, which is where I’m from.

“[It’s great] to be able to come out and work with my friends here and see a different vintage and different fruit because you don’t work with [the grapes] in the same way – they’re ripe and there’s plenty of tannin there.

“I’m not trying to take over the world of wine, or become a 5000-case producer. The idea is to get the best parcels I can.” \

Best described as the complete family package, this Federation-inspired residence in the coveted Manor Lakes estate has the wow factor.

Built to last by Belani Builders in 2005, the brick residence of about 29 squares is ready to be enjoyed by all the family.

Making a lasting first impression, the leadlight entry opens to a foyer displaying the period detailing used in the front formal areas, such as fretwork, 2.7-metre ceilings with roses and deep cornices, pendant lighting, brass light switches and polished floorboards.

The carpeted lounge room with dado railing, gas log fire and timber mantel is opposite the study or fifth bedroom.

The hall continues past the staircase and two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and into the tiled informal living and dining domain.

The Tasmanian oak kitchen, which is fitted with Westinghouse stainless-steel appliances (wall oven, four-burner gas cooktop and fixed rangehood), Fisher & Paykel dual-drawer dishwasher and removable island bench, also has a butler’s pantry that has direct access to the remote-controlled double garage. The kitchen is next to a dining area

and the rear rumpus room, off which another passage accesses another bedroom and Regeneration-style bathroom and laundry with storage space.

French doors open from the rumpus room to a wrap-around merbau deck and from the dining room to the vast, covered backyard, which has a brick-paved sitting area, sandstone-edged garden beds, two 2500-litre water tanks, cubby house, chicken run, large shed and manicured gardens on the 860-square-metre block.

Back inside and the carpeted staircase ascends to a small sitting area or study nook,

which separates the bedroom area, with dormer roof and box bay window, on the right from the walk-in wardrobe and en suite on the left.

Extras include evaporative cooling, zoned ducted heating, Foxtel connection, pelmeted drapes and understairs storage.

The position will also have no shortage of admirers. It’s in a quiet court, close to Manor Lakes Central shopping centre, a library, childcare, schools (Our Lady of the Southern Cross Primary, Manor Lakes P-12 College), medical centre and under-construction railway station. \

There are plenty of perks at this Werribee property. The well-maintained house has four bedrooms, including the main which is at the front and separate from the others. It has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite with twin-basin vanity and a separate toilet. The remaining bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. There won’t be any argument over who’s watching what on TV with three separate living zones – a

lounge room, family-meals space and rumpus room. A walk-in pantry, Caesarstone benchtops, glass splashback and stainless-steel appliances are kitchen stand-outs. Ducted heating and cooling, a wood heater, plantation shutters and an alarm are features. But it’s what’s out back that’s sure to get the kids excited – an in-ground solar-heated pool with slide. There’s also an undercover entertainment area and a water feature. A remote-controlled double garage tops it off. \

[ 54 ] WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE April 23, 201454 WYNDHAM WEEKLY \ APRIL 23, 2014

There’s something about New York that’s 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 Apple’s energy and charisma, and inspired by the refined elegance of the fashion set, Liu translated the city’s 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 York’s 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.”

Liu’s choice of fabrics reflects this wintry New York influence. There’s 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 grade 6 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 L’Oréal 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 like no 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 season’s message on reminders of New York; from the grey winter skies to concrete skyscrapers and flashing neon lights. She’s

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 Glue’s 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 Belmore’s NSW factory and available in their stores now.” \

MotoriNg \ rod easdown hails 50 years of the game-changing mustang

Ford’s Mustang, one of the world’s most iconic sports cars, is turning 50 but the man who made it possible won’t be at the

party. Lee Iacocca, now 89 and regarded as the father of the Mustang, had a falling out with Ford 14 years after the car was launched.

The Mustang, which at the time proved the financial salvation of the Ford Motor Company, was launched in New York on April 17, 1964, and the American car industry being what it is, the car was called a 1965 model. Simultaneous launches were held in 11 European countries. After the New York event, American motoring journalists took Mustangs on a 1200-kilometre drive intended to underline the car’s reliability.

The car was unique. Two-door, four-seat cars were hardly rare but this was the first that offered sports-car looks with passenger-car durability at a budget price. The US charge was $2368 – the price of an average car.

That bought a base model with a 76-kilowatt 2.8-litre six-cylinder motor and a three-speed manual gearbox. From there prices climbed; the options list was one of the longest in Ford’s history and included everything from a three-speed auto, power brakes and two-speed wipers to a 200-kilowatt, 4.7-litre V8 with a four-speed manual.

The Mustang, in convertible and hardtop,

was an instant hit and became an evergreen, recording nine million-plus sales in 50 years.

Anniversary celebrations are being held in New York, Las Vegas and Charlotte and about 150 Australian enthusiasts are attending. Two 1800-kilometre drives have been organised, both starting in Oklahoma. The eastbound drive finishes in Charlotte, North Carolina, the westbound in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At the same time a current Mustang is being displayed on the observation deck of New York’s Empire State Building.

Ford Australia has also run a social media campaign inviting people to nominate an equivalent of Route 66 for a Mustang drive.

Iacocca was a vice president of Ford and general manager of the Ford Division during development of the Mustang, and was the car’s driving force. He said its launch was one of the proudest moments in his life.

Its tearaway success enhanced his career considerably and he became president of the company in 1970. But a heavy public clash with Henry Ford II led to his sacking in 1978.

He was immediately courted by Chrysler and was appointed president, later publishing his autobiography, Iacocca, which became a bible for aspiring executives worldwide.

Portfolio magazine named him the 18th-greatest American CEO of all time. \

Werribee City � ew out of the blocks with four � rst-half goals in the National Premier League clash with Goulburn Valley Suns on Saturday night.

� e � rst-half onslaught was enough for the Bees to hold on in a thrilling game, winning 4-3 against the winless Suns at McEwen Reserve.

� e Bees’ scoring started through Anthony Ragusa a� er 14 minutes before the Suns equalised through an own goal by Steven Cudrig at 22 minutes.

� e rest of the � rst half was all about the Bees, who scored again through Zois Galanopoulos, Ryan Filipovic and Oliver Rowland.

� e Suns hit back in the second half, proving the stronger team for the rest of the match.

Craig Carley reduced the margin to 4-2 in the 52nd minute and a Kristian Sarkies penalty with 15 minutes to go made it 4-3.

But the Bees had done enough and held on for the win, which moves them to � � h on the ladder with three wins and two losses.

Werribee City will play 10th-placed Northcote City away on Saturday for its next match. \ TM

falcons go on goal rushVNL

City West Falcons produced the highest score for the season in a ruthless performance against bottom side Fed Uni Ballarat Pride in the Victorian Netball League on Wednesday.

� e unbeaten Falcons missed just seven attempts at goal for the game, dominating from start to � nish against the winless Pride to win 80-42.

Coach Marg Lind said that a� er the team shot 20 goals in the � rst quarter she set the players a challenge to continue that intensity.

“It was a convincing win … to get almost 20 goals in every quarter was good,” she said.

“At half-time, we set the target of getting 80 to assist with our concentration.”

Lind said the team’s front-court players controlled the match, with the goalers making the most of their opportunities.

Goalshooter Kathleen Knott outscored the Pride by herself with 49 from 54 attempts.

“We were able to get the ball close to the post for our shooters, which helps,” Lind said.

“We had the chance to run our goalers at wing attack, which we don’t get o� en.

“Our manager said it was the lowest stats [for penalties and turnovers] we have ever had.”

� e win comes as two senior Falcons were named in Australian squads. Elizabeth Watson was a late call-up to the Melbourne Vixens and was a shock inclusion in the Australian squad for the Commonwealth Games.

“I texted her during the week and just said; ‘Take the opportunity to get on court with the country’s best players’, which I’m sure she’ll do,” Lind said.

A Werribee Tigers promotion

VFL footy allows spectators on the

ground to hear the coaches. How do

you feel about that?

Great idea, it allows people to connect with the

competition and hopefully understand it more,

and allows young spectators to get up close to the

players, particularly the players that are on AFL lists.

The 23rd man concept in VFL football.

Your thoughts on that and how it works?

Another great concept. Firstly it allows TAC Cup

clubs to promote players and gives them an

opportunity at VFL level, most TAC Cup players have

no idea how big a step up it is into the VFL. For

graduates of the TAC Cup system, and players from

local clubs who have made the Werribee list, it is

basically and extra spot available in the team.

The Werribee Development squad had

the bye on the weekend, did all the

players not in the senior team that

played Bendigo, play at local level?

Thirteen went back to play at local level, mainly the

players who had been restricted in some way over

the pre-season and we felt another game would

have been of benefit. Or there were those that are

working on game specific areas of their game.

They are all different in that sense.

Anyone with injury concerns or very close to senior

VFL selection were rested. There is no real benefit

in those players having an isolated week of local

football.

20-minute laPSE COSTly for tigersVFL

Werribee was le� to rue a sloppy 20 minutes of football in a 13-point VFL loss to Port Melbourne at North Port Oval on Saturday.

� e Tigers allowed the Borough to score seven goals to one in the second term and in the end it was the di� erence between the two sides as the Borough hung on to win 16.11 (107) to 14.10 (94).

Tigers coach John Lamont was disappointed his side made fundamental mistakes in the second term. “We absorbed a lot of pressure in the opening term and

we had a lead at quarter-time,” he said. “We kicked the � rst goal of the second term and then didn’t kick another for the rest of the quarter.

“We made fundamental and dumb mistakes which were incredibly costly. It was a bit of everything: missed tackles, playing on unnecessarily, not manning up and poor match-ups.

“� e 20 minutes of football was costly and we’ll talk about what happened.”

Lamont said it was a positive that his team fought back in the second half.

“We stuck at it and kept on working,” he said. “We clawed our way back a little in the

third term and a little in the fourth term but ran out of time.”

North Melbourne-listed Majak Daw was best for the Tigers with � ve goals.

“Jared Moore continues to get the ball out of the middle and Dylan

Reid in the ruck is adjusting well to playing senior football,” Lamont said.

In their � rst home game for the season, the Tigers play the unbeaten Northern Blues at Avalon Airport Oval this week. \ TM

Hoppers Crossing’s rollercoaster start to the season continued with a loss to St Albans on Good Friday in the Western Region Football League division 1.

Warriors coach Steve Kretiuk said that although the Saints went into the match without a win, he knew it would be a tough

one for his team. “I think they’re a top-three side and I’m under no illusions on where we’re at,” he said. “I was disappointed with most of the day. Against Sunshine we had 22 contributors; against St Albans we had only four or � ve.

“We didn’t have many winners and when we had our chances in the third we didn’t take them. We missed three easy shots at goal and dropped a mark 25 metres out. If we’d capitalised on them it would have le� the door ajar.

“A few guys dropped their heads in the last quarter. We couldn’t have played any worse.”

Kretiuk said his side was second to the ball all day but conceded its inconsistency was a by-product of youth and inexperience.

“� ere will be good and bad, but that’s no excuse,” he said.

He highlighted the job Jackson Viola did on former AFL player Aaron Henneman as the standout for his side.

“Jackson is only 18 and did a great job against one of the best forwards in the competition,” he said.

� e Warriors play Port Melbourne Colts this weekend. \
