welcome 

aboard! 

March is shaping up to be an 

important month for sporting 

and cultural events across the 

Asia-Pacific region, and an 

exciting time to travel on the 

Jetstar network. 

That’s the beauty of low fares – 

they create opportunities for all of 

us to take our passions “on the road” 

and have experiences beyond our 

own backyard. 

This month we will welcome 

thousands of sports fans heading 

to Melbourne for the Australian 

Formula 1 Grand Prix, and to Hong 

Kong for the international rugby 

Sevens World Series. 

As the northern hemisphere 

moves into spring, Japan’s stunning 

cherry blossom season begins, with 

festivals taking place in popular 

Jetstar Japan destinations such as 

Tokyo and Osaka from now until 

May. This is an extraordinary time 

in Japan if you have not yet had 

the pleasure. 

Tokyo’s festivals may be the perfect 

reason for travellers from Oita to 

visit the capital as Jetstar launches 

new low-fares services between the 

two cities by the end of this month. 

Jayne Hrdlicka 

Group CEO, Jetstar Airways 

Jayne@jetstar.com 

Other new routes joining 

the growing Jetstar network 

this month include Fukuoka to 

Nagoya and Sapporo to Nagoya. 

To those of you travelling with 

us for the very first time, I’d like 

to extend a very warm welcome. 

Wherever you’re travelling 

with Jetstar, I know our team 

will be doing their very best to 

provide an enjoyable and hasslefree 

experience. 

Thanks for choosing to fly 

with Jetstar. We look forward to 

seeing you again soon.

Sample the flavours of Victoria 

– and get your hands dirty in 

the kitchen and garden 

Melbourne’s culinary culture is 

on show this month, as its 

annual food and wine festival takes 

off. Here’s your chance to enjoy 

tastings, classes and markets all over 

the city and elsewhere in Victoria. 

This year’s happenings revolve 

around the theme “Earth”, and a 

desire to return to the source of all 

things delicious and good for the 

soul. Events include the Bank of 

Melbourne World’s Longest Lunch, 

the festival’s opening banquet in 

Fitzroy Gardens, where guests 

will savour local produce from a 

three-course menu while seated at a 

500m-long table. 

Spotlighting the most 

cherished restaurants 

and bars in Melbourne 

is the main goal of 

the festival, and the 

committee has come 

up with a bucket list 

of 56 bars and over 90 

restaurants. The Bar 

Express roster offers a 

choice sip and tasting plate 

at $18, while The Restaurant 

Express players will be serving a 

two-course menu at $40. 

Langham Masterclass Weekend 

sees chefs like Honolulu-based 

Ed Kenney sharing dishes from 

Hawaiian culture, such as how to 

cook a whole lamb in an imu (a 

traditional Hawaiian cooking pit).

fashion 

festival 

Melbourne’s week-long 

haute couture pow-wow is 

on this month. Executive 

producer Geraldine Frater 

walks us down the runway 

Attention to detail is a 

must in the fashion scene, 

says L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion 

Festival head honcho Geraldine 

Frater. For her team, a week’s 

work includes booking 

entertainment, casting models, 

appointing and working with 

stylists, overseeing hair and 

make-up themes, and liaising 

with design, creative and 

technical teams. 

“We rehearse the show and 

lighting concepts to the music, 

cue the models and control 

all that happens during the 

show and in the venue,” says 

Frater. “Shows can happen up 

to six times a day if you include 

rehearsals.” 

With well-respected and cult 

designers such as Karen Walker 

and Alice McCall carting their 

collections to the event, one of 

the challenges for Frater’s team 

is to keep track of the wardrobes. 

“We manage thousands of 

items, such as clothes, shoes 

and accessories during the 

week,” says Frater. “It’s always 

a logistical challenge to ensure 

each garment is where it needs 

to be and allocated to the right 

model on time, every time.” 

Seeing the pieces lock into 

place, however, makes the frenzy 

worth it. “It’s extremely rewarding 

knowing all the hard work has 

paid off when the lights, music, 

models and outfits happen as 

planned,” says Frater. 

LMFF is on from 18–24 March.

What Do you enjoy about 

moDelling? 

I really enjoyed the catwalk and it 

was a hard decision to step away 

from it, but it was definitely time. 

If I’d kept going, I may not have 

pursued new career possibilities and 

perhaps wouldn’t have Isola and be

I adore.

gua bao, baby 

Australia’s Taiwanese food explosion will 

delight your tastebuds 

Taiwanese food has mostly 

remained under the radar 

in Australia – save for people’s 

growing taste for bubble tea and 

xiao long bao (dumplings) – but that 

won’t be the case for long. 

Australia’s proximity to Asia also 

means several Taiwanese eateries 

already exist in its urban areas. 

Brisbane contains the country’s 

largest Taiwanese population, a 

demographic well represented 

by the healthy roster of classic 

Taiwanese restaurants in Sunnybank 

– from the well-regarded Glamorous 

Wok to Yang’s, Half Time, Kingsfood 

Chinese and others. 

However, the emergence of 

contemporary Taiwanese food is 

best exemplified by the country’s 

two biggest cities. The phenomenon 

can be seen in action at Sydney’s 

Bao Dao and Melbourne’s 

Wonderbao, but one of the more 

notable openings has been Food 

Republik in Melbourne’s Asiandominated 

suburb of Box Hill, 

which is modelled after an old-style 

Taiwan village and features 

night-market décor 

with hawker stands. 

“It’s unlike 

anywhere else in 

Melbourne,” says 

proprietor Louis 

Kuo, who also 

owns the popular 

Taiwan Café in the 

CBD and the Dessert 

Story chain. Signature 

Food Republik dishes include 

Taiwanese beef noodles, gua bao 

(pork belly buns), and the country’s 

famed fried chicken, encrusted in a 

thin deep-fried batter with a five-spice 

powder rub and potato-starch crumb. 

So what exactly is Taiwanese 

food? “Taiwanese food isn’t so 

Taiwanese food 

isn’t so heavy 

in comparison 

to Mainland 

Chinese food 

heavy; it’s lighter in comparison 

to Mainland Chinese food,” says 

Blue Eye Dragon’s Muriel Chen, 

whose restaurant serves traditional 

Taiwanese food within the 

modern confines of a 

restored heritage building 

in Pyrmont, Sydney. 

Some of that 

lightness, she says, 

stems from Taiwan’s 

quality produce, which 

doesn’t require the 

heavier spicing of 

the mainland. 

Food Republik’s Kuo adds 

that Taiwanese food also tends to 

offer a salty and sweet combination, 

and often relies on five-spice powder 

to bring the flavour out. Taiwanese 

shafran 

food varies a lot from north to south, 

adds Changyun Chiang of Sydney’s 

michael 

Bao Dao, which specialises in rustic 

dishes and street food. Words:

shakshuka 

Move over ricotta hotcakes – shakshuka is Australia’s rising 

star of café breakfasts. The dish – eggs poached in a spicy 

tomato sauce – is one of Israel’s national dishes. 

“The flavours are quite beautiful,” says Israeli chef Michael 

Rantissi of the shakshuka he serves as a signature at his new 

Kepos Street Kitchen in Redfern. “It’s a beautiful substitute for 

poached eggs.” 

Variations abound, from those with feta or yoghurt to 

Moroccan-style with merguez sausage.

INTO THE SEA: 9AM 

With a subtropical climate all year 

round, Okinawa is a great spot for 

diving and snorkelling. The Ryukyu 

Archipelago, which comprises 

160 islands, offers various dive 

sites, each with its own unique 

characteristics. If island hopping 

is not on your itinerary, but you’d 

still like a quick exploration of the 

waters, head to Odo Beach at the 

southern tip of the mainland. Less 

crowded and a favourite among 

locals, its bay teems with beautiful 

coral and fish, and there are even 

coral caves to investigate for more 

adventurous divers. GO! It takes 

about 45 minutes by car from 

central Naha to Odo Beach

wheat noodles instead of buckwheat,

Nicola McCoy confronts her 

fears by diving with great 

whites in the open ocean 

It’s been 38 years since the dreaded 

“da na, da na” tune hit our screens, 

but the fear of Steven Spielberg’s 

film Jaws has never left me. 

So what better way to face my 

phobias than head on? I head out for 

a cage dive in Port Lincoln, South 

Australia. After a 5.45am wake-up 

call, and a three-hour cruise south off 

the mainland, I’m floating in the sea 

near the Neptune Islands, the Great 

White Shark capital of Australia. 

Already, a 4m-long beast is circling 

the boat. My nerves are peaking, yet 

surprisingly, so is my excitement. I 

am so close to the most feared fish in 

the world, yet I can’t wait to get the 

wetsuit on and jump into the cage. 

There is not one, but four great 

whites in the water with me, each up 

to 5m long. I’m amazed that they are 

so graceful in the water – it’s almost 

calming. That is, until someone 

on the boat above me throws bait 

into the water. Now, it’s all about 

the attack. Their speed, power and 

agility are incredible to watch. 

After a mesmerising 45 minutes 

in the cage, my time is up. I’m not 

sure I’d be thrilled to see a great 

white without a safety cage, but I do 

recommend this dive to everyone – 

even scaredy-cats like me.

autumn 

colours 

This season’s beauty look is 

all about romance, with pretty 

pinks and soft reds 

1. eyeS 

This season, eyes are all about pink, 

green and blue. All eye shades, 

skin tones and ages can wear them 

confidently – the trick is in 

the application. 

The paler your skin, the lighter 

the application should be – a sheer 

wash of colour if you’re blondehaired 

and blue-eyed (ditto if 

you’re over 30). Olive and very dark 

complexions can afford to go deeper 

with pigment, even applying as a 

wet shadow for an opaque finish. 

Hint: Keep mascara simple – black 

or brown, and one coat only – and 

skip liner altogether. Try: YSL Eye 

Collector Palette 4 Wet and Dry Eye 

Shadows, $90; stockists: 1300 651 991. 

2. Skin 

Keep it clean with a velvetysoft 

foundation finish, then get 

strategic with highlighter for a 

soft glow (not shimmer or shine, 

ever). Blend sparingly where light 

would naturally hit your face – 

brow bones, cheeks, the tip of your 

nose – or blend a little into your 

foundation before you apply it. 

Try: Lancôme Éclat Miracle Light 

Complexion Illuminator, $55 from Myer. 

3. lipS 

Whether you choose a stain of 

colour, a sheer gloss or a bright, 

bold lip, think pink or red. 

Try: Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick in 

Dragon, $38; www.au.shiseido.com

4. CheekS 

Imagine the colour your cheeks turn 

naturally when you’re just in from 

the cold. This is the look you’re after 

– a slightly flushed reddish-pink. 

For application, think natural, not 

doll-like. Apply colour sparingly, 

building up depth slowly until you 

achieve the desired effect. Try: Aveda 

Petal Essence Face Accents in Hibiscus, 

$39.95; aveda.com.au 

5. nailS 

If you’re too shy to wear brighter 

shades on eyes, cheeks or lips, make 

a statement with glossy pink or red 

nails. Try: Bobbi Brown Nail Polish in 

Pink Valentine and Valentine Red, $26 

each; bobbibrown.com.au

I 

used to hate it when there was a 

baby on the plane. Now I 

have a baby, things have 

changed. I love it when MY baby is 

on the plane. 

People always say to me that it must 

be hard if our baby is screaming. 

Nope, I’ve got noise-cancelling 

headphones. Good luck, Mum! 

Also, one hour of screaming 

between Sydney and Melbourne is 

better than nine hours of screaming 

on the Hume Highway 

with 17 toilet stops. 

Sure, the other 

passengers 

wouldn’t have to 

sit through that 

experience, but 

I would. When 

it comes to 

travel, I look after 

number one. 

“Can I get a beer? 

There’s a noisy baby next to me!” 

Another reason I love flying with 

my baby is that it’s FREE! Up to 

the age of two, children travel at no 

cost. So don’t blame me, blame the 

airlines. 

I don’t want you to get the wrong 

impression. Sometimes I take the 

noise-cancelling headphones off

board 

Comedian Tom Gleeson 

loves travelling with his 

bub – here’s why 

If you’re siting 

next to a baby, 

don’t ask for 

a new seat. It 

could get worse 

to help my wife because 

a baby can be used as a 

weapon. All you have to do is 

hold back on food and water, and a 

baby can let rip with a scream to rival 

the sound of the jet engines. It’s an 

ear-penetrating menace that can be 

aimed in any direction. 

The truth is my baby is rather 

well behaved, but if a passenger 

lowers their seat into my face, 

takes off their shoes or leaves their 

iPhone key tones on loud, I’ll give 

them a blast of baby that will be 

so disorienting, it will render them 

sterile for a year. 

So next time you fly, if you’re 

sitting next to a baby, don’t ask for 

a new seat. It could get worse. They 

might seat you next to me. 

Tom is currently touring his new 

standup show Hello Bitches in 

Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne.

Flying made easy. 

Avalon Airport is Melbourne’s easy way to fly. There’s no 

freeway congestion, no expensive road tolls, no long queues, 

but there is a comfortable passenger lounge and free kids 

playroom. Our car park is only metres from the terminal, and 

you’ll always find a spot. But most importantly, our airport is 

like a home away from home. You could say we’re the airport 

with less turbulence.

Meet Dom, 

head instructor 

at Brisbane’s 

Slackline 

Academy. Invented 

by rock climbers, 

slacklining is also 

great preparation 

for skiing, surfing, 

skateboarding and 

snowboarding. 

It’s now a sport 

in its own right, 

with aficionados 

performing tricks 

(tricklining), 

setting the 

slackline up 

over water 

(waterlining) and 

at a great height 

(highlining). 

Here, Dom has 

fixed his slackline 

between two trees 

in a Brisbane park. 

He’s “surfing the 

line”, or going 

for maximum 

pendulum rotation 

while staying 

balanced. 

“It is technically 

tricky and fairly 

dangerous,” says 

Dom. “If you lose 

control you get 

catapulted head 

first into the dirt.”

W 

il Anderson could have 

it so much easier. With 

cheekbones you could 

hang your laundry off, a febrile wit 

and media ubiquity across television, 

radio, podcasts and standup, he’d be 

entitled to a rest. Were he so inclined, 

he might shill everything from 

motors to moisturiser, then pack 

out the odd 3,000-seat venue once a 

month when he felt like it. He could, 

but he won’t. 

Instead, the 39-year-old comedian 

has encoded into his DNA the work 

ethic of the dairy farm where he 

grew up in the Gippsland region of 

tips for aspiring 

comedians 

» “Play to as wide a variety of 

audiences as possible. there will 

always be those who get you. Find 

the ones who don’t and learn how to 

entertain them.” 

» “It’s okay to start out being Oasis 

writing versions of beatles songs, 

but you eventually need to find your 

own sound. Which will of course be 

influenced by other people.” 

» “Don’t be afraid to fail. We’ve all 

died, but no one has died so badly in 

the history of comedy that everyone 

else has got together and said, ‘You’re 

not allowed to do this anymore.’” 

“All I’m AImIng 

to produce is 

something better 

than the last one” 

Victoria. Where many comics can 

squeeze an entire career out of 50 

solid minutes of material, Anderson 

has created a new hour-long show 

every year since 1997. It’s a work rate 

that borders on the OCD-esque, and 

becomes all the more staggering 

when you consider that Anderson 

is also host of ABC TV’s Gruen 

franchise, runs the TOFOP podcast 

and does more tweeting than a 

hatchling nursery. 

His current live show, GoodWil, 

is his 18th solo offering at the 

Melbourne International Comedy 

Festival. “I wish I could tell you 

what it’s about,” says Anderson, 

“but it turns out that the first week 

is always different from the end 

product. It evolves, and all I’m 

aiming to produce is something 

better and more interesting than the 

last one.” 

Part of the reason behind 

Anderson’s success is undoubtedly

GC9760_1

“I know there wIll 

be nIghts where 

it will be a hard 

slog, and all I’ll 

be able to take 

away from 

the evening is a 

clue on how to do 

thIngs better” 

his anger. He bays at hypocrisy, 

keens at double standards and will 

return to these subjects as long as 

they make some sections of society 

squirm with discomfort. “I don’t 

have the philosophy that subject 

matter is like an Etch-A-Sketch 

which you shake clean at the end 

of a certain show,” he says. “I will 

talk about gay marriage until it is 

no longer an issue. I will talk about 

the fact that for me to be able to buy 

a shiny new Apple laptop for a few 

hundred dollars means someone 

along the line is getting screwed. 

None of us is pure, and this is a 

subject that I’m passionate about 

exploring on stage.” 

But that’s only what the audience 

sees. The true measure of many a 

performer’s character is whether 

their colleagues and audiences 

feel the same way about them. In 

comedy circles, Anderson is the 

guy who will forfeit his fee when 

a festival goes bust so that other 

performers can afford plane tickets 

home. The guy who will do a spot 

at your charity night. The guy who 

will take a call from an acquaintance 

whose stage confidence is waning. 

The guy who will launch your 

book in exchange for a beer or two 

afterwards. The guy who would 

be rather uncomfortable with the 

preceding four sentences. 

Although a new series of the 

advertising debate show Gruen 

Planet is yet to be finalised for 2013, 

Anderson has never been tempted to 

do a Russell Brand and try his hand 

at acting. “It doesn’t really interest 

me,” he says. “Acting is about trying 

your best to be another person, 

whereas standup is about being as 

honest about yourself as possible, 

being the most ‘me’ I can be.” 

GoodWil will no doubt whet 

the appetite of his myriad fans 

on Australia’s festival circuit, but 

Anderson is also touring parts of 

the United States where his name 

and reputation mean little. “I know 

there will be nights where it will 

be a hard slog, and all I’ll be able 

to take away from the evening is a 

clue on how to do things better,” he

says. “Sometimes you can do 160 

great shows in a row and on night 

161 the audience just won’t like it. 

It happens to everyone, no matter 

where they are in their career.” 

At his restless core, Anderson 

is a creature of the stage. It’s 

been that way since his first gig 

at Melbourne’s Esplanade Hotel 

in 1997. “I wore a cap,” he recalls. 

“Rookie error – the audience needs 

to see your face as a standup. I 

didn’t know what to be afraid of, so 

it went well.” 

The price that many comics pay 

for mainstream success is selfcensorship. 

The material needs to 

be safer, cleaner, lightly bruising as 

opposed to leave-a-scab incisive. 

Not Anderson. In comic parlance, 

he’ll “go there” by calling it as he 

wil’s favourite

Bourne 

“I first went there 

11 years ago for the 

Splendour in the 

Grass music festival. 

I keep returning. I 

spend more time 

there than visiting 

my parents.” 

“It’s just such a 

beautiful town and its 

Museum of Old and 

New Art (MONA) is 

so much fun.” 

“I spend a month 

here every year 

for the comedy 

festival and I love 

wandering around 

its laneways. It is 

the anchor to my life 

and year.” 

sees it on everyone, from Alan Jones 

to Kate Middleton, to the parents 

who named their child Hashtag. Yes, 

it’s gained him a handful of enemies 

over the years, but it’s won him a 

whole lot more friends. 

Better yet is how the three-catowning 

vegetarian lets us into 

his life. For his standup shows, he 

chooses rooms that hold hundreds 

rather than thousands, and he works 

them five nights a week before 

moving to the next city. The result 

is small scale, sweaty and close up. 

The audience feels like they get to 

know him well, and Anderson feels 

right at home.

“Aussie fashion reflects

It was a leap of faith, but it had to 

be done: in November 2007 Camilla 

Franks decided to move her business 

– creating lusciously flowing, 

vibrantly coloured kaftans – from her 

apartment to a store on Bondi Beach. 

“After the launch of the store, 

every piece had sold and it was so 

humbling for me to find there really 

was a demand for my designs,” 

she says, reflecting on what she 

considers her big break. Since then 

the Camilla designs have taken the 

world by storm. 

“I’m so excited to be bringing 

some Camilla love to Melbourne,” 

she says of participating in 

LMFF. “It is appealing because 

it’s consumer based, but has the 

prestige of a high-fashion event.”

“The ’80s never left me,

Around Melbourne he’s one of 

those characters who is recognised 

wherever he goes, having been part 

of the scene since the mid-’80s when 

he studied fashion at RMIT. 

“Then, as now, music and fashion 

went together,” reflects milliner 

Richard Nylon. “So I became a variety 

of goth I called ‘glamour goth’. It was 

goth, but with well-applied make-up 

and no raggy clothes.” 

During LMFF he’ll be working 

with Gwendolynne Burkin, whom 

he met on her 22nd birthday – the 

pair have collaborated ever since. 

“We have a similar aesthetic when it 

comes to eras that we are fond of and

“I can never tell where my

but it’s always there to 

be discovered” 

It’s really no surprise celebrities like 

Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole 

Richie have been seen sporting 

Megan Park designs. Each of the 

designer’s pieces is an individual 

creation made from hand-dyed 

and printed fabrics, which are then 

embroidered and assembled 

by hand. 

“We are less driven by trends 

at Megan Park and as such 

we develop each collection 

instinctively,” says the designer of 

her label’s individuality. 

Frequent trips to Tokyo and 

India provide inspiration, but, says

“I had a one-track mind 

my whole life and never 

considered any other career” 

A bit like Russell Crowe and 

Crowded House, Kate Sylvester is 

a Kiwi Australians like to claim as 

one of their own. Since the launch of 

her first collection in 1993, her brand 

of witty, feminine, sophisticated 

designs have become a staple of 

local catwalks and closets. 

Taking inspiration from books, 

art and music, she has a unique 

approach to each collection. “For me, 

each one is a story,” Kate explains. 

“So, like an author, I start to create a 

character, or characters, a setting, an 

era and then an entire narrative.” 

Like many of the designers at 

LMFF, what Kate appreciates most 

about the event is interacting with 

the people who wear her clothes.

in lots of different fashion roles, my 

biggest break was managing and

The result is an intensely 

feminine collection of tailored 

pieces in luxe fabrics.

NOOSA FOR 

WATER LOVERS 

Surrounded by bush and bordered 

by stretches of beach, canals and 

rivers, Noosa has options galore 

for people who want to get out into 

nature. The water temperature is 

usually above 20˚C and a lovely 

28˚C between November and March. 

For a deceptively good workout, 

try stand-up paddle boarding 

on the canals from Lions Park. 

Noosa Stand Up Paddle gives 1.5hr 

beginners’ lessons in the canals – a 

chance to paddle on flat water past 

multi-million-dollar houses and get 

a feel for the area. 

Noosa is the perfect place for 

all surfing levels, from beginner to 

advanced, because its north-facing 

Main Beach has big waves off the 

headland and medium-sized swells 

perfect for beginners further down 

the beach. That’s where Learn to

NOOSA FOR FOODIES 

Get a feel for the food scene at 

the Noosa Farmers Market (held 

on Sundays) or Belmondos Fresh 

Food Market (open every day). As 

well as a butcher, baker and deli, 

Belmondos’ café serves meals under 

$15. Onsite Clandestino Roasters 

produce a fine cold-drip coffee. 

Noosa has perfected the casual 

fine-dining experience, with 

restaurants championing local 

produce. At Thomas Corner Eatery 

in Noosaville, chef David Rayner 

creates simple yet stunning dishes 

such as pork fillet, crackle, local figs 

and apple with Pedro Ximénez sauce. 

Rickys Bar + Restaurant is 

the place to go for cocktails and 

waterfront fine-dining on the Noosa 

River. The same owners have just 

opened a steak restaurant next door, 

Wood Fire Grill, offering prime cuts 

with house-made condiments.

Street Resort and Spa decided to 

make its restaurant more special 

than the usual resort eatery. View 

on Little Hastings has become a 

dining destination in its own right. 

Standout dishes include crisp-fried 

pork belly and pan-fried sage. 

If you’re in town for a short time, 

eat your way along the boardwalk 

at Main Beach, Noosa Heads. Have 

breakfast at Bistro C (try the corn 

cakes); lunch at Sails Restaurant (try 

the sashimi); and dinner at Berardo’s 

Bistro on the Beach (you can’t go 

wrong with fish of the day). All of 

these restaurants allow you to watch 

the waves while you eat.

NOOSA HEADS FOR 

ROMANTICS 

Noosa Heads is the ideal romantic 

escape, with glorious beaches and 

great accommodation. Fairshore 

Apartments sit between Hastings 

Street and Main Beach’s boardwalk. 

Deckchairs on glass-fronted 

balconies provide hours of bliss-out 

time, mesmerising guests with 

swaying palms and rolling waves. 

Outrigger Little Hastings Street 

Resort and Spa is set further back 

from the beach, giving serene 

bush views of the National Park. 

Penthouses and villas are set on 

a hill facing the ocean – a spot 

recommended for sunset drinks. 

One of the most popular romantic 

activities in Noosa is to cruise with 

Noosa Dreamboats aboard the 

Noosa Dream, a 1940s-style classic 

speedboat complete with driver. 

Explore the river, Noosa Sound and 

peaceful Lake Cooroibah, or have a 

picnic for two on a sandbar (one to 

keep in mind for proposals). 

If you really want to impress, go 

on a sunset cruise then have them 

drop you off for dinner at Rickys 

– it’s delightful to have a pontoon 

landing at this gorgeous waterfront 

restaurant in Noosa Heads.

There’s a sense of anticipation 

when you join a queue – one 

that’s likely to be paired 

with a little frustration and a side 

of impatience. It’s a feeling I know 

well, but as I pull my car into the 

line-up for the ferry from Kettering 

to Bruny Island, on Tasmania’s 

south-east coast, I find myself 

enjoying the wait. 

I leave my car and walk over to 

the nearby Mermaid Café for a 

coffee and stand by the window 

looking out over South Haven and 

Oyster Cove Marinas. The calm 

waters are packed with yachts and 

fishing boats of all sizes. 

The Mirambeena Ferry arrives, 

and one by one the cars roll on 

board and we motor away from 

Kettering. It takes 20 minutes to 

reach Bruny Island, a place loved 

for its unspoilt beaches, abundant 

wildlife, towering sea cliffs, remote 

feel and, more recently, its diverse 

sustainable produce. 

Bruny Islanders have long 

trodden a do-it-yourself path to 

foodie success amid a magnificent 

setting. Locally grown produce 

flourishes here due to a blend of 

local passion and ideal growing 

conditions, and my plan is to taste 

a little of the island in each meal 

during my weekend stay.

ferry port is the Bruny Island Smoke

House, known acronymically as BISH. 

It’s nearing lunchtime as I walk inside 

the beautiful stone building with a 

wide veranda overlooking serene 

Sykes Cove. I eagerly study the labels 

of chutneys, preserves and pastes 

before perusing the fridge stocked 

with smoked goods: I sample smoked 

trout, wallaby and leatherwood 

duck, and purchase hot smoked 

Atlantic salmon. 

Fifteen minutes later, I park the 

car and stroll down the drive to the 

Bruny Island Cheese Company. 

My cheese knowledge amounts to 

knowing what I like, but even to 

an untrained palate their range of 

cheese is distinctive. I walk away 

with wedges of toma (hard, naturalrind 

cow cheese) and raw milk C2 

(hard, cooked curd), and a loaf of 

organic wood-fired sourdough bread. 

Moments down the road, I reach a 

narrow isthmus called The Neck, a 

stretch of land that separates north 

and south Bruny. Stopping at the 

Neck Game Reserve I climb the 

timber steps to the top of a sand 

hummock. I’m rewarded with 360- 

degree views of the beach, bush and 

sea. At dusk, fairy penguins make 

their way up the beach to settle 

noisily into their burrows in 

the dunes. 

I set off for the Bruny Island Berry 

Farm, which is about half an hour’s 

drive away. On arriving I grab a 

bucket and fill it to overflowing with 

plump fresh strawberries, plucked 

straight from the low-lying bushes. 

Later that evening, the hot 

smoked salmon I bought at BISH 

plays a fine leading role in a light, 

Asian-style salad. The meal is

complemented by an unwooded 

local chardonnay I picked up 

from the vineyard at Bruny Island 

Premium Wines. 

Next morning, I drive out to Cape 

Bruny Lighthouse, set high on a cliff 

top on the southernmost tip of the 

island. The views are spectacular: 

looking behind me, I take in the 

rolling green hills, the historic 

lighthouse keeper’s cottages and 

a curved sweep of beach at 

Cloudy Bay. 

Back on Bruny Island’s Main 

Road, I stop at an oyster caravan at 

Great Bay, with the cheeky name 

Get Shucked. I buy three dozen 

oysters – $12 for a dozen. The first 

of the oysters disappears quickly, 

leaving me feeling satisfied and 

fortunate to have such delectable 

treats literally at my fingertips.

sudoku 

Grab a pencil, put on your thinking cap and join the craze! 

The objective of sudoku is to fill in 

the missing squares so that each 

row, column and 3x3 box contains 

the numbers 1 through to 9. To get 

you started, here are a few tactics… 

Scan each horizontal and vertical 

band consisting of three 3x3 boxes. 

It’s often easiest to start in a spot 

with the most numbers already 

given. If you can find the same 

number in two rows, you know 

that number must be in the third

3 5 

(the same goes for columns). Now 

see which intersecting rows and 

columns can be eliminated because 

they also contain that number. (This 

method is called slicing and dicing.) 

Some sudoku fans like to pencil in 

possible answers in the corners of 

individual squares. Once you have 

a few numbers filled in, you may 

also find it handy to jot down a list 

of missing numbers for each row, 

column and box.

Support for child rights 

increases opportunities for 

the youth of Surabaya 

R 

ohani was still in primary 

school when her parents 

arranged for her future 

marriage. When she turned 16, 

Rohani’s parents asked her whether 

she would like to leave school and 

marry her fiancé. 

Early marriages are common in 

many Indonesian communities, 

including in the city of Surabaya in 

East Java. The practice is even more 

common among poor families, who 

may view early marriage as a way to 

ease the financial stress of providing 

for their teenage children. 

Unfortunately, because people 

who get married at a young age 

often haven’t finished school, they 

commonly end up in lower-paid 

jobs. The cycle of poverty means 

that the next generation of children 

may also be married young. 

Since 2009, World Vision has 

been helping young people in 

Surabaya realise their potential for a 

brighter future. With the support of 

StarKids, World Vision is working 

with all levels of the community 

– from children and their parents 

through to government – to help 

ensure that children are given every 

opportunity to thrive in life. 

“Many teenagers have decided to 

continue their education through 

to university,” says project leader 

Nunus. “Others have decided to 

work in order to save for their 

university education. Their college 

dreams are still alive,” she adds. 

Fortunately for Rohani, her 

parents did not pressure her 

to marry. She chose instead to 

continue her studies and in 2012 

graduated from high school. She’s 

now studying to become a midwife, 

and hopes one day to become a 

doctor – a goal within reach for a 

girl who dares to dream big. 

Many teenagers

Jetstar team members across the

6 December 2012. All cabin crew on

to mark the occasion. StarKids

game of trivia at the Melbourne head 

office. We’re very proud of the work 

that StarKids continues to support,

The Jetstar team tells all! 

Peter Rodda, 

manager, flying 

operations 

(Melbourne 

Avalon Airport) 

What’s the 

maximum 

height a 

Jetstar plane 

can fly? 

A: The maximum 

height that our aircraft fly at 

cruising altitude is approximately 

12,000m above sea level. This height 

is determined by several factors 

including the weight of the aircraft, 

as the heavier the aircraft is, the 

lower you have to fly. Atmospheric 

conditions, such as temperature 

and wind, also affect the height. The 

hotter it is, the lower you have to fly. 

You also want to fly at an altitude 

that avoids headwinds, which slow 

the aircraft down. 

Air traffic control requirements 

mean that if a number of aircraft 

are flying along the same route, 

not everyone can cruise at the 

same altitude. The most important 

consideration for determining our 

cruising altitude is fuel usage. For 

jet aircraft, we can minimise our fuel 

burn by flying as high as we can. Jet 

aircraft can fly faster in the thinner 

and colder air at high altitude.

Best day trip from the city 

Ubud is regarded as the cultural centre 

of Bali. It has many beautiful sights 

and a general feeling of wellbeing 

from its spiritual surroundings, and is 

easily accessible in the day. 

Top three shopping spots 

The new beachwalk has a fantastic 

array of new and modern shops, 

restaurants and a cinema. It’s just 

opposite the beautiful Kuta Beach 

and has plenty for the family to 

do. Discovery Shopping Mall has 

everything local available at great 

prices. The lovely little boutique shops 

around The Villas, especially on Jalan 

Raya Seminyak, are a break from the 

bustle of Kuta. 

Most unique 

tourism experience 

Bali celebrates Nyepi, which marks the 

beginning of the Hindu new year. The 

night before Nyepi, villagers frighten 

away evil spirits by banging drums, 

gongs, pots and sometimes setting 

off fireworks. Nyepi itself is a day 

of silence and meditation. It is said 

that the evil spirits are tricked into 

believing that Bali is abandoned and 

therefore go back to the underworld, 

leaving the island in peace for another 

year. It’s truly worth experiencing.

Martinborough, an hour away by

Vynfields is my pick of the bunch for

a walk to the top of Mount Tempest, 

the highest vegetated sand hill in the 

world. From the top, you can enjoy a 

360-degree view of the coastline. 

Best place for 

outdoor exercise 

One of my favourite places is 

Kangaroo Point, along the Brisbane 

River in the heart of the city. It’s a 

great venue for rock climbing, running 

and cycling. 

Best local dish 

One of the newest restaurants in town 

is Luke Nguyen’s Fat Noodle at the 

Treasury Casino. My favourite dish is 

the Fat Pho Noodles, made with the 

chef’s signature beef broth, thinly sliced 

Angus sirloin, and fresh basil and chilli. 

Best way to get around 

Two wheels is the best way to get 

around Brisbane by far. We have a 

great network of cycle paths, covering 

over 1,200 km, which can take you 

around the inner city and beyond. 

There’s also a city-cycle hire scheme, 

so you don’t even need your own bike.

robbie bugden 

Brisbane-based Superbike racer Robbie Bugden is currently ranked 

sixth in Australia and first in New Zealand. He’ll next hit the tarmac 

in round four of the 2013 New Zealand Superbike Championships at 

Hampton Downs Raceway in Waikato on 16 & 17 March 

Q: WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST 

OVERSEAS TRIP? 

A: I was eight years old and we went 

to New Zealand. All I can remember 

was the snow and glow-worms. 

Q: WHERE HAS MOTORBIKE 

RACING TAKEN YOU TO IN 

YOUR CAREER? 

A: New Zealand, Japan, France, 

England, Germany, the Netherlands, 

Malaysia and China. 

Q: WHEN DID YOU GET YOUR 

FIRST MOTORBIKE? 

A: I was four years old, and the 

motorcycle was given to me and my 

sister to share by my uncle Shane. I 

started racing at 10 years of age, and 

that bike is still sitting in my garage. 

Q: WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST 

ABOUT THE NZ SUPERBIKE 

CHAMPIONSHIPS? 

A: Locals are passionate and 

hospitable about motorcycling 

and life. The natural beauty of the 

surroundings where each racetrack 

is located just adds to the enjoyment 

of racing in New Zealand. 

Q: FAVOURITE TRACKS TO 

RIDE ON? 

A: Hidden Valley Raceway in 

Australia and Hampton Downs 

Motorsport Park in New Zealand. 

New Zealanders 

are passionate 

and hospitable 

about 

motorcycling 

and life 

Q: FAVOURITE MOTORCYCLE 

ROAD TRIPS? 

A: In Australia, the route from 

Dayboro to Woodford via Mount 

Mee, Brisbane. In New Zealand, I’d 

recommend two road trips: the first 

is from Wanaka to Queenstown via 

Cardrona Valley Road. The second is 

from Christchurch to Akaroa. 

Q: FAVOURITE JETSTAR 

DESTINATION? 

A: Phuket is the best place in the 

world to relax and recharge, I would 

have to say!
