T here they were: small, imperfect, some mottled and spotted, but the sweet perfume that arose from them was unmistakable.

I had not seen real apricots like this since I was a student, renting a squalid house in North Carlton with the most magnificent apricot tree in the front yard. The fruit ripened perfectly each year and fell into your hands as you plucked them. The neighbourhood Italians would come with buckets and elaborate stories as to why they should be allowed to take some away. I was happy to see the tree stripped bare by autumn.

The apricots I found at the market were the Moorpark variety, a type so old and revered it is mentioned in Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park as one of the most flavoursome of its kind, and was planted by Thomas Jefferson at Monticello.

You could once find this sweet, fragrant apricot everywhere: in backyards; in commercial orchards; in greengrocers. That is, until the major food chains demanded a firm, full-coloured apricot that packed easily and had longer shelf life. Imports began to pick up the shortfall in production, which explains why you now

find amazing-looking apricots that taste like nothing. The beautiful little fruits that I was delighted to buy were grown in Tasmania, which is now starting to grow more and more real apricots.

It is to our eternal shame that Australia has now become a net importer of fruit and vegetables: This happened for the first time in 2007-08, according to

the Australian Bureau of Statistics, when fruit and vegetable imports soared to $1.5 billion in

2007-08, exceeding exports of $1.33 billion.For quite some time now, major retailers

have demanded uniform-looking fruit with a long shelf life This is an old story, and one we know all too well – rock-hard tomato, anyone?

But what isn’t widely recognised is the loss of important agricultural species from Australian

production as a result of narrowing consumer preference and supermarket rigidity.

The gregarious restaurateur and fierce advocate for the Murray River growers, Stefano de Pieri, is scornful of the lazy consumer attitude that has resulted in generations of table-grape vines being ripped out of the ground throughout the Riverina because we won’t

eat grapes with pips. The pallid varieties that sell in the major food shops barely compare and, even more importantly, some farming has ceased and significant varieties have been lost because of our unadventurous consumer ways.

The good news is that growers are starting to get it, and if they can get enough consumer backing, the major grocery chains might get it too. In an industry situation statement from October last year, the Horticulture Industry Network conceded that with an emphasis in the fresh market on the production of attractive, firm, full-coloured apricots, increased shelf life has been delivered at the retail end, but “the marketplace now recognises that this has compromised eating quality”. And here’s the bit that makes your heart leap: “If the decline in sales that has resulted is to be reversed, techniques and varieties that provide the consumer with a more satisfying eating experience are required.”

That means we consumers have seen the light, and recognise that older, irregular, less pretty but more delicious varieties of apricots, and other fruit and vegetables are what we really want. Amid their tears, I can almost hear the Riverina farmers sing. \

4 The weekly review \ FeBRUARY 20, 2013

I’m venturing deep into the bowels of Melbourne’s Arts Centre, looking for invisible people. A few minutes ago, I left the packed State Theatre, where a matinee session of War Horse had just finished playing to a diverse crowd of toddlers, teens, parents

and grandparents.In the foyer, young children were mimicking the

show’s star, trotting about the carpet, whinnying and snorting. Some of the older punters were left sniffling by the show’s emotional climax. All seemed to agree on one thing – the eponymous horse was simply incredible.

The most incredible thing about this horse, of course, is that he doesn’t exist. Equine star Joey is instead a large puppet, carried across the stage on the back of three actors.

“People have often gone up to the director, firmly believing it’s a real horse,” puppeteer Ben McIvor tells me when I sit down with him and his fellow puppeteers.

Certainly there is some kind of magic at work here. On stage, McIvor, Grant Foulkes and Kailah Cabanas move together as if guided by telepathy. Off stage, that telepathy is still intact. The three quickly and easily complete each other’s sentences, seeming to laugh at jokes before they’ve been made.

Oddly, not one of them is a trained puppeteer. All come from an acting background and took some convincing to allow a puppet horse to steal their spotlight. “I was not keen,” McIvor says. “I was like, I don’t do puppetry – does the horse talk? No? I’d seen the film and I was like, meh.”

All three credit director Finn Caldwell with talking them around by showing them the possibilities puppetry possesses when it comes to wooing an audience. The trick, they say, is to convince a crowd they’ve seen something they know they can’t have.

“People ask: ‘How did you get the eyes to move? How does the skin move?’” Cabanas says. “Uh, they don’t.”

“That’s when we know we’ve done our job,” Foulkes says. “We really require the audience to go with us, and things like creating the horse’s breath are the invitation from us to say – here you go, we require you to suspend your disbelief and join us on this journey.”

Sitting in the stalls, only a few rows back from the stage, I was never in any doubt that Joey was a puppet. Indeed, the puppet’s construction – bright-orange paint and a mechanical framework – makes no attempt to pass itself off as flesh and bone. McIvor and Foulkes (as the horse’s hind and heart), sit inside the bodywork, moving the legs, while Cabanas is up front, leading the puppet forward and controlling the head. For the first 15 minutes, I marvelled at their control over a

massive machine. After that, some strange alchemy occurred. The puppeteers didn’t exactly disappear, but they became more like familiar spirits attending Joey, extending and echoing the horse’s emotions.

“We sort of fade away,” Cabanas says.Surely this runs against the attention-seeking instinct

that first drives actors onto the stage?“As an actor, you do want people to look at you,”

McIvor admits.“People can look at you, but you’re like a channel

really,” Cabanas says. “With acting, you’re working hard to include the audience and make them see you. With puppetry, your focus is just on the puppet. I feel like I fade away, because it’s all about Joey.”

Yet, despite this, it’s clear all three view Joey as an acting part. They talk about his character with passion and surprising empathy. When McIvor talks about a painful scene for the horse, he flinches in his seat. It must be odd, I suggest, to be sharing a single role between three actors. Do they all agree on how they view Joey’s personality?

“At least our version of the character,” McIvor says. “You’ll see a different version of the character with each team. And the actors are starting to notice that. They have a different show every night.”

There are four teams responsible for bringing Joey and fellow equine star Topthorn to life. Two teams only work with one horse, while the other “versatile” teams work with both. Cabanas and co are the latter. All three are passionate about the differences between the horses.

“Topthorn’s a completely different character,” McIvor insists.

Foulkes elaborates. “He’s not playful, he doesn’t like to be touched.”

And what makes this team’s version of Joey unique?“Cody [Fern], who plays Albert, has said that our Joey

is definitely the cheekiest,” Foulkes says.Cabanas looks slightly guilty. “I love messing around

with the soldiers. We tell them, we’re a horse. If we have the opportunity to run off, then we’re going to try to do that. If someone lets go of the reins, we instinctively try to bolt.”

So are they ensuring War Horse holds true to that actor’s rule about never working with children or animals?

McIvor says it’s the key to the show’s success.“It’s our number one rule. Be a horse.” \

I may well be the only person in Melbourne not doing FebFast, but surely I’m not the only one in town who cannot find a single thing to watch on commercial television.

Please, tell me it’s not so.Because, to me, 2013 may well have just begun, but it could go

down in history as being television’s groundhog year of bland – the year when nothing new ever really happened, ever. Even Sherlock Holmes made a comeback.

And every night about 7.30, the same bunch of good-looking but pretty much interchangeable young people continued to compete over how well they did housework.

MasterChef, My Kitchen Rules and The Block All Stars may add drama, glamour and prizes to the dullest of everyday domestics, but is cooking a roast dinner and tidying the house really worth all of our viewing time – especially when most of us have been doing such things all day, and there’s no new house or cookbook contract coming our way any time soon?

One wonders what’s next. Masterknitathon? World’s Best Duster? Race Around the Kitchen, where the couple who manage to get the kids washed, fed and in bed, stack the dishwasher and get their conjugals sorted all before 9pm get to win a prize of a good night’s sleep, perhaps? A kid-free weekend, but only if the cameras get to come along and film everything?

Actually … not such a bad idea, because, what most people with kids know for certain is that as soon as you actually get a night free to yourselves you’re usually so excited you end up having a barney. Cameras love that.

Anyway, call me old fashioned, but I don’t find young couples stressed to break-up point about the colour of a doona cover and backstabbing home-cookers grilling each other over the type of herb they use in their entrée bread all that interesting.

And if renovation and cooking shows aren’t your thing (and God help you if they’re not, because while commercial channels run series after series of MasterChef and Jamie Oliver, the public channels are littered with quaint little shows featuring old people randomly traversing the European countryside looking for some nonna in a farmhouse making a regional bean stew or some old farmer dude hand-whipping goat’s cheese), there’s hour upon hour of American Idol.

Yet more interchangeable, good-looking people competing against each other,

but this time in front of strange, stretched-faced judges. Has anyone bothered to check to see if Nicki Minaj is a real person?

Anyway, night after night I spend in despair, in a fury of flustered, frustrated

flicking, trying to find something worthy of watching. Is it too much to ask? Last week the internet dropped out and I found myself gazing at a screen filled up with Kevin McCloud’s frozen face. I watched it for 10 whole minutes while the system rebooted.

And as for FebFast, well, abstinence is anathema to the compulsively inclined. Plus, there’s nothing on TV to watch, so what else am I expected to do but open a bottle of wine and lament? \

St Ali North, 815 Nicholson Street, Carlton North

Phone \ 9380 5455Barista \ Leon HoldsworthCoffee \ St Ali, Sensory LabBarista’s choice \ Filtered black coffeeOpen \ Daily 7am-5pm» www.stali.com.au

Beside a bicycle path, a bike shop, a cheery playground and with ample nearby parking, St Ali No. 2 has its bases covered. The 188-seater has roof windows, steel-blue walls and a collection of ’80s-style “house plants”. Pre-loved and reproduction furniture add grunge and geometric tiles decorate the pumping central espresso station with bike-ready takeaway window. There’s a brew bar and a bean-buying corner selling clear plastic vessels of take-home love. \

CAFÉ If the loudly spruiked sibling to St Ali South Melbourne,

Sensory Lab and Plantation hadn’t met collective expectations there would have been blood (and maybe coffee) on the street.

Some web reviews have been critical of prices and service but St Ali North, or just plain North, still managed to surprise and impress me. It’s a classy set up with oodles of attention to detail and staff who seem pleased to be there.

To northsiders it was no secret the site bordering Fitzroy North and Brunswick East was a blank canvas, but co-owner Salvatore Malatesta had to convince southsider me he hadn’t renovated an old library, or post office. “I bought the post boxes on eBay,” he says. The keys to these, which will be used for roasted-bean collections, have been snapped up.

North opened about eight weeks ago and Malatesta has taken on Jesse Gerner (Anada, The Aylesbury) as co-owner and assembled a crack team of baristas and chefs. No, food prices aren’t cheap. But the menu is creative, filled with choice and my “seasoned traveller” salad was a tangle of delicate leaves topped with earthy flavour contrasts such as figs, roasted hazelnuts, dollops of lavender curd, herbs and a drizzle of just-sweet honey.

There’s a recycling system to turn food waste into fertiliser, a roving bike mechanic

from the adjacent Velo Cycles and, apparently, a beard-trimming service.

Head north often, and watch it bloom. The next St Ali is planned in Bondi, opening in July.

BARISTA Leon Holdsworth must be pinching

himself. The young, ambitious barista from up north, has landed a coveted position

managing the brew bar under the eye of 2012 World Brewers Cup Champion

and St Ali’s head of coffee Matt Perger. Holdsworth, who grew up in Melbourne, spent 18 months at Blackboard Specialty Coffee on the Gold Coast following a string

of barista and bar jobs. He says working with roaster Josh Russell of

Cup Coffee in Brisbane put him on his career path.

“With Josh, I learnt a lot about the roasting side of coffee and at St Ali I hope to further my education and learn more about obtaining coffee directly from farms, roasting them and bringing them to the table.”

Coffee choice at St Ali is copious. Ours was a long black La Delicias from Costa Rica, so full of floral sweetness I nursed a jar of beans all the way home. \

Over the skywalk and through the casino’s labyrinth, Man Tong Kitchen is tucked into the West End of Crown like a shrine, where gamblers, moviegoers and shoppers can pause to worship the dumpling and its cousins. Bedecked in red and gold, with gigantic custom-made lanterns, oversized timber beams and glossy ruby columns, Man Tong is the most formal of its HuTong stablemates, although it’s on Crown’s casual dining list. Circles are omnipresent – in carved screens that divide spaces, the shape of doors to private dining rooms, the timber lacework lining the ceiling and a series of casino-facing cathedral-like windows. \

T he tenants at the adjacent table have changed several times. First, a quiet family of four; then a discontented pair of couples with an eye for

better real estate.Now, two blokes – Mr Big (in size, volume, grating

accent) and his enduring smaller companion have taken up residence.

We must be slow eaters. They’ve wolfed down identical soup orders and are now in possession of an open ceramic bowl of “sliced fish fillet in hot chilli oil”, at least from my reading of the menu, and a serve of fried rice.

With almost the same intensity as Mr Big’s ownership of it, the dish’s aroma is invitingly redolent of chilli, garlic and Szechuan pepper.

He loudly informs his companion about the importance of stirring the dish and emulsifying the oil, garlic and chilli. Then he fastidiously pours the broth into his own bowl through the ladle-cum-strainer and selects pieces of the fish, dipping each one into his filtered broth. He later adds a few spoonfuls of rice to the stock and eats that, sans fish.

Mr Small nods politely, smiles agreeably and does as he pleases. He serves himself a decent pile of fried rice then spoons a big ladle of broth and flesh from the shared bowl, chillies, garlic and all.

We stifle mirth and with a man and tool, sorry tong, quip or two.

I reckon the tables at Man Tong, the newest member of the HuTong Dumpling Bar clan, are a wee bit close, for a 200-odd seater anyway. And I think the fish in chilli oil dish would be darn good, however you chose to eat it.

Man Tong, which means full house in Chinese, is a polished, Crownesque version of the HuTong Dumpling Bars in Market Lane and Prahran. It’s the brainchild of managing director Jeff Xu, who with chef Yi Bo Wang (ex-Yangtze New World Hotel, Shanghai), has created a selection of Chinese regional cuisine, taking licence here and there.

At 6pm on a Sunday we snare the last available table (group bookings only) and turnover is high. The 16-page menu works well around a few simple symbols, a kind of modern replacement for laminated cards. Red chef’s hats signify “house specialty” (some get two) and chillies to indicate spiciness.

The wine menu, headed “Does wine go with Chinese cuisine? Absolutely”, follows suit in a kind of defensive response to those with epicurean superiority complexes. Each style of wine is given a description of suitable food accompaniments and a number. The number, in a wine-glass symbol, is appended to corresponding dishes on the food menu. We minimise risk, conscious of the menu warning to be “mindful when dipping in soy sauce or vinegar as it will clash with your wine”, with a Mount Horrocks Watervale Riesling from list number two, the “fresh, light whites” selection.

We dutifully follow the symbols with xiao long bao,

the hot-stock-filled pork dumplings from East China made famous in Melbourne by HuTong, given two hats. They are perfectly presented at just the right “two blows” temperature, but seem to me a slimmed-down version of the originals. Slurp, look ungainly and devour the delicate broth and fine mince within.

Pan-fried pork dumplings, with a nod to Shanghai, arrive connected by a crisp pancake. Separating them with chopstick or spoon is the fun. They’ve been fried and steamed and their texture is divine.

Peking duck, another signature dish, is deftly served by our waiter, who surprises me with his awkward English. I wonder whether it’s a staged, for authenticity and charm. The roasted poultry is a little dry and bland, but the accompanying sauce and pancakes quickly mask this.

It’s one of the least-expensive dishes, and its wine

matches are numbers five and eight (medium-sweet white and medium-spicy red) but the Szechuan bean curd with minced pork – ma po tofu, or grandma’s bean curd – is at the outer edge of my heat tolerance and fabulous with my delicate wine. The velvety cubes of bean curd bob in an open bowl of broth, rafts atop a sea of chilli and crumbled, flavoursome meat.

Fujian diced eye fillets in tea flavour arrive dark and difficult to photograph, in a tangle of crisply fried oolong tea leaves. It’s an intriguing dish, but could have had more of the excellent pepper-coated meat and fewer of the crisp, dry leaves.

But I don’t want to sound like a tong. \[email protected]

When I mentioned to a few people in the office that I was talking to the chef and sommelier of Melbourne’s hottest Thai restaurant,

Chin Chin, about matching wine with spicy food, they all got a crazed look and demanded that I report back post-haste. Chin Chin does that to people.

Unlocking the mystery to matching drinks with spicy Asian food is the subject of Solving the Eternal Chilli Dilemma, a Melbourne Food and Wine Festival masterclass hosted by chef Benjamin Cooper and sommelier and winemaker Neil Prentice.

The key, according to Prentice, is to match hot, spicy food with either tannins or texture.

“If you go to any restaurant in Bangkok, the locals are going to be drinking beer and black tea. In essence, it’s all about tannin and bitter,” says Prentice.

Beer, Prentice notes, isn’t always suited to our weather: “Really nice, interesting beer, is good – when it’s in a humid, hot Thai setting. Even a light beer, such as Chang or Singha, can be too much in cold weather such as our winter.”

With variety being the spice of life, plus Melbourne’s fickle climate, wine is often a better match. Prentice says textural wines work best and the classic European food and wine matches hold true as a rule of thumb when choosing a wine to drink with spicy flavours.

“I try to head towards classic European matches – seafood and riesling, pinot gris and pork, duck and pinot noir,” he says.

“In European gustatory terms, wine is the sweet and the sour in the glass and the savoury’s on the plate. Eastern food turns that on its head – a lot of the time the sweet and sour is on the plate, so you’re really looking at texture and structure, just as much as you’re looking at flavour.

“Remember that the wine’s not supposed to be the main voice on the table, it should be secondary.”

Good textural wines to match include off-dry riesling, which doesn’t tend to fight with food and

has a hint of sweetness that gets balanced out by vibrant acid. Pinot gris, with its voluptuous texture and subtle apple and pear notes works well too.

“Pinot noir tends not to fight with spice too much. It’s a wine that’s really about texture,

too,” says Prentice.As for sweet dishes, Prentice says sweet whites,

such as moscato and cane-cut sticky wines, rather than sweeter botrytis styles, work best. \

Hawes’ wheat- and gluten-free, fructose-free, vegetarian and vegan dishes are the result of her own dietary constraints, her enthusiasm for cooking and her appetite for a challenge.

She opened Caffe Si eight years ago, offering eat-in and take-home meals for people with allergies and intolerances. It’s a small, cheery European-inspired shopfront with a freezer holding a bounty of choice – curries, pastas, pasta sauces, soups, slices, rice balls and more – for those who struggle to get a decent feed in mainstream cafés.

The business has grown so much, that Hawes and her daughter, Sunny Cohen are planning a website-based home-delivery service.

“There is demand for this from our customers and there’s nothing like that around that I know of. We will sell meals, cakes and biscuits, all by special order in metropolitan Melbourne,” Hawes says.

Cohen, a business partner who works in the café, was the inspiration behind the business venture when the former gluten-free shop closed. She and her mother hope to continue running the café when they launch the online business. \

fashion \ JANE ROCCA DISCOVERS THE CURATED MANNER OF PIERUCCI MEN’S OUTFITTER

entanglement Bracelet \ $49

lsc Bag Black \ $340

S urviving in menswear is difficult business; generally blokes don’t shop as often or buy as much as women and they’re less likely to embrace

the flamboyant nature of the fashion world. But there’s a family-run business that wants to change the way men relate to their wardrobe. Enter the chic new addition to Melbourne’s retail sector – Pierucci Men’s Outfitter.

It models its business on all that’s old school – the days when menswear shops were a one-stop spot where you could be dressed from head to toe (you can count on your hand how many of these places exist today). Starting out in Perth, the Pierucci brand now comes with a shopfront that is handsomely curated with local and overseas labels and stocks its own brand of suits.

“Independent and family-owned businesses are nowhere near as common as they used to be, particularly in this industry, which is a shame. It’s something we’re proud of,” says manager and third-generation family owner Chris Pierucci. “That comes with challenges, but we’re fortunate to have this independence that allows us to do things our own way.”

Pierucci tries to recapture an old gentleman’s shop policy by matching outfits for its customers. Let’s face it this is often where retail fails.

“We felt there was perhaps a bit of a gap in specifically what it is we’re offering,” says Pierucci.

“There isn’t much for guys in menswear retail that isn’t a giant chain, where you can get specialised service. Melbourne was the obvious choice because of the large population, and I think a lot of guys here take pride in their appearance and are savvy with what we’re trying to do and the kind of brands we’re stocking.”

Pierucci plans to launch knitwear made locally in Brunswick (be patient, it’s coming). It’s also where you’ll find pieces by Rag & Bone, Japan’s Nanamica, Mt Rainier, Baracuta and Fracap, among others.

“Essentially we buy what we like to wear ourselves. We look for well-made quality goods and a certain level of timelessness in regards to design,” says Pierucci.

Pierucci embraces bolder colours in shirting (it makes its own too), offers conventional and modern suit styles that appeal to a broad client base and you might just find something a little different from street wear to smart chic here. The brand started in the 1950s under the guidance of Tulio Pierucci, a quality tailor who specialised in suits. Later, his son Robert and grandson Chris got on board to take over the family business.

“I think it’s probably important to have more than just the one voice when it comes to decision-making,” says Chris of working with his father.

“We’ve certainly both taught each other a lot.” \

Mentone Girls. Remarkable Women.™

A round the country, book clubs have been gathering for their first meetings of the new year. Our advice: jot down

your members’ suggestions, read magazine and newspaper reviews, ask your local bookseller for some recommendations, and remain nimble so that when a new title starts racing up the charts, you can immediately include it on your 2013 list.

We also recommend clubbers plough through last year’s bestseller lists (usually published in November and December and available online) and then focus on novels that have discussion potential.

Here are a few suggestions based on those 2012 lists, while next week we will look at what’s coming up in 2013 and highlight a few book club candidates.

For local fiction recommendations, try the Australian Independent Bookseller Awards shortlist, announced two weeks ago. Those nominated in the fiction category (the winner will be revealed in March) would spice up any 2013 reading list and include: Nine Days by Toni Jordan; Lost Voices by Christopher Koch; Questions of Travel by Michelle de Kretser; and The Mountain by Drusilla Modjeska.

The Goodreads Choice Awards Best Fiction award, meanwhile, was won by J.K. Rowling’s The Casual Vacancy – one of our favourite novels for the year. (See www.goodreads.com/blog/

show/399-the-winners-of-the-2012-goodreads-choice-awards for other winners).

The Guardian’s deputy literary editor, Justine Jordan, declared Hilary Mantel’s Booker Prize-winner Bring up the Bodies as her No.1 fiction choice for 2012. Sydney Morning Herald books editor Susan Wyndham agreed, and also the New York Times, which stated in its review last November that, “Mantel makes the seemingly worn-out story of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn newly fascinating and suspenseful”.

Publishers Weekly magazine’s editors crowned Chris Ware’s Building Stories its best fiction for the year. We suspect the book’s inventive and brave format played a part.

It is described as “14 individually bound books, ranging from gorgeous hardbacks to thin pamphlets, housed in an oversized box. Read in any order, all the tales within follow the tenants of the same apartment building, including an elderly landlady, a spiteful married couple and a lonely female amputee. With his trademark obsessive precision, Ware presents the grind and folly of everyday life in the most exhilarating fashion.” The suggestion has us hooked.

Meanwhile slate.com went for Martin Amis’ Lionel Asbo, while ABC radio presenter Louise Maher nominated Australian surfer story The Life by Malcolm Knox as her favourite. \

TEN THINGS I’VE LEARNT ABOUT LOVEby Sarah Butler» $29.99 (Macmillan)

Normally we would steer clear of a book with a title like this. And the term “debut novel” also tends to make us a bit nervous about the journey ahead. But this family drama/personal journey works on many levels. Three sisters return to their London home as their ailing widowed father moves towards the end of his life. The father, Daniel, meanwhile, wanders aimlessly through the city in a muddled search for the daughter he has never met. A gentle story about love, loss and the need to belong. \

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO THIRSTby Anne Holt» $29.99 (Atlantic Books)

Detective Hanne Wilhelmsen is called out to a grisly murder scene: an abandoned shed on Oslo’s outskirts that is splattered with blood. No body, no murder weapon, but an eight-digit number has been scribbled on the wall. What does the number represent and can Wilhelmsen and her colleagues juggle the unexpected Norwegian heatwave with a spike in bizzare crimes? Former journalist and lawyer Anne Holt – described by Jo Nesbo as “the godmother of modern Norwegian crime fiction” – returns with a gripping second instalment in her Wilhelmsen series. \

The good, the bad, the ugly and the occasionally very funny is recalled by some of our finest wordsmiths, including Cambodian-born Alice Pung; journalist Paola Totaro, who was born in Italy; Malla Nunn of Swaziland; and Mark Dapin (Britain). The Weekend Australian’s critic Geordie Williamson said: “The literary quality of the individual chapters is uniformly high.” \

best south east properties

L ong-term residents of Caulfield North are sure to have noticed changes to the landscape of their much-loved suburb over the past few years.

Caulfield’s position as one of the suburbs best served by public transport, parks and prestigious schools makes it prime real estate for families. Despite this, the area spent much of the 20th century housing an ageing population.

But it appears the area is experiencing a changing of the guard, of sorts; postwar single-storey houses are coming down, and contemporary, rectilinear family houses such as this one are going up.

No expense has been spared on this state-of-the-art residence, which was designed by local firm Nich Saunders Architecture.

At ground level, an open floor plan reigns, with only a study (or fourth bedroom) and its adjacent bathroom having their own four walls.

The remaining space is taken over by the house’s epicentre of living and entertaining, flooded with light from three sides.

A large kitchen shares the space, but is clearly defined by a floating ceiling and island bench. Pristine 2pac cabinetry and Miele appliances surround the long window that serves as a splashback, while the combined

laundry and butler’s pantry is a convenient addition for the skilled multitasker.

Two sets of glass sliding doors lead to the expansive deck. Wide enough to include an outdoor lounge, with built-in timber benches and dining area, the size of the deck reflects a decision to forgo a more traditional backyard in light of Memorial Park at the end of the street.

The clean aesthetics continue up a light-filled central staircase and into the three large bedrooms. The main has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, but occupants of the other two bedrooms aren’t exactly slumming it, with built-in wardrobes, desks and spacious en suites.

Accommodation is zoned to either end of the central rumpus room, allowing each bedroom balcony access and a little extra space.

A state-of-the-art design calls for state-of-the-art appliances, and the combination of ducted heating, refrigerated cooling, video security, surround sound and LEDs does not disappoint.

Yes, the landscape of Caulfield and surrounds is certainly changing, but when properties such as these appear on the market, we think it’s safe to say that change isn’t such a bad thing. \ JO DAVY

Blackbutt floors, CaesarStone benchtops and a stacked-stone wall give nature the aesthetic upper hand in this new townhouse. The two-storey

floor plan, which includes four bedrooms and the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, comes as a roomy surprise. With a covered deck and private backyard, its townhouse tag doesn’t mean there’s any compromise on family-friendly space. Automatic gates open to off-street parking and a single garage with internal access. Pedestrian entry is via video security. Ground level comprises of a bedroom opening to a bathroom (handy for guests and in-laws) and a kitchen overlooking vast dining and living areas. Meeting contemporary standards and then extending the friendship, the kitchen has an oversized Smeg oven, a walk-in pantry and a microwave thrown in for good measure. The party-friendly dining and living area has a sliding glass wall to the rear deck and garden. The deck is covered, while the garden’s mainly lawn and leafy neighbouring vistas add to the seclusion. Up a staircase of floating timber treads, three bedrooms and a bathroom complete the accommodation. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, a double-vanity en suite and french doors to a balcony. Second and third bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. Dandenong Road trams are a two-minute walk and quality schools nearby means those with school-aged children spoilt for choice. \ kAY kEIGHERY

There’s nothing monstrous about this Edwardian property. In fact, it’s a real beauty sitting behind a cream picket fence and manicured garden. Push open the leadlight-detailed door and a graceful hallway, with tall ceilings capped by intricate roses with chandeliers, instantly impresses. The main bedroom on the left has white plantation shutters shielding a large window. A cute en suite, with mosaic-detailed

tiles and a wall of mirrored cabinets, is roomy and there is walk-in wardrobe tucked next door. Two further bedrooms across the hall are generous, with the front one having plantation-shuttered windows on two sides. Both have built-in wardrobes. There are two further bathrooms on offer, so there will never be arguments in the mornings, and a fourth bedroom and spacious laundry too. A vast living space to the rear has walls of bifold doors and a gas fireplace flanked by bookshelves. An impressive stone kitchen with 900mm stove and pale wood cabinetry is well-designed. The backyard is huge too, with a raised terrace and tree-lined lawn. \ STEPHEN A. RUSSELL

Caulfield North \ 8 kms from the city

In an up-and-coming area, this single-level town residence is fit for downsizers and young families alike. With a classic Edwardian-style exterior, the interior is elegant with cream walls, carpets, vertical blinds and drapes throughout. The first of three bedrooms is off a long hallway with polished floorboards. It is a bit smaller than others, which makes it a great study space. The second bedroom with built-in

wardrobes is next to the large central bathroom with white-and-blue floor tiles, a shower and bath. Set at the centre of the house is the main bedroom. The en suite has a room-length vanity with plenty of storage, plus a shower. The rear entertainment zone is an expansive open-plan area leading to paved gardens. The kitchen has white country-style cabinetry with blue benchtops that match the bathroom vanities and a central island bench/breakfast bar. A wall of windows and french doors in the adjoining dining and living areas brighten the expanse. The back garden features an undercover dining area and extensive easy-care paving. \ MICHELLE OSTROW ZUKERMAN

The vendors gave this sleek residence in the heart of St Kilda a renovation seven years ago. Tall fences ensure privacy while a sophisticated exterior gives the house a stylish edge. Beyond the blue front door is the combined living, meals and kitchen area and a separate study. Polished timber floorboards and brown venetian blinds complement the earthy colour palette adopted throughout. A breakfast bench is built

into the CaesarStone kitchen bench while a white mosaic splashback adds an interesting element to the room. Entry to the courtyard is here, and keeping up with the modern vibe, the barbecue is built into a jagged slate feature wall. Trees line one wall, while direct entry from the front garden is along the side. All three bedrooms are upstairs and share a rumpus room in the centre. Two of the bedrooms contain built-in wardrobes and share a bathroom, while the main bedroom overlooks the street. It features a large walk-in wardrobe and opens to a balcony with a deck. Fitzroy Street, Chapel Street and top schools are only a short walk away. \ ELIZABETH ANILE

Every now and then you stumble across the perfect blank canvas, and that’s certainly the case with this cute-as-pie Californian bungalow. Leadlight doors reveal an impressively broad entrance hallway with soaring ceilings marked by elaborate cornices and chandeliers. They don’t build them to these dimensions any more. Solid Australian hardwood floors stretch throughout, and there’s a wealth of natural

light. The large main bedroom on the right features an original brick fireplace, with three further bedrooms lining the left-hand side of the hall, all with built-in wardrobes. The spacious bathroom has a powder room and linen cupboard right outside, with a huge laundry next door. A timber-framed glass doorway marks the entrance to the expansive living area that spans the width of the rear of the house.. It’s a fantastic space with a gas log fire at one end and a large horseshoe-shaped kitchen with an abundance of worktops at the other. The backyard, which is reached through two sets of french doors, has a covered terrace, a big shed and a veggie patch. \ STEPHEN A. RUSSELL
