March is shaping up to be an<br />
important month for sporting<br />
and cultural events across the<br />
Asia-Pacific region, and an<br />
exciting time to travel on the<br />
Jetstar network.<br />
That’s the beauty of low fares –<br />
they create opportunities for all of<br />
us to take our passions “on the road”<br />
and have experiences beyond our<br />
own backyard.<br />
This month we will welcome<br />
thousands of sports fans heading<br />
to Melbourne for the Australian<br />
Formula 1 Grand Prix, and to Hong<br />
Kong for the international rugby<br />
Sevens World Series.<br />
As the northern hemisphere<br />
moves into spring, Japan’s stunning<br />
cherry blossom season begins, with<br />
festivals taking place in popular<br />
Jetstar Japan destinations such as<br />
Tokyo and Osaka from now until<br />
May. This is an extraordinary time<br />
in Japan if you have not yet had<br />
the pleasure.<br />
Tokyo’s festivals may be the perfect<br />
reason for travellers from Oita to<br />
visit the capital as Jetstar launches<br />
new low-fares services between the<br />
two cities by the end of this month.<br />
Jayne Hrdlicka<br />
Group CEO, Jetstar Airways<br />
Jayne@jetstar.com<br />
Other new routes joining<br />
the growing Jetstar network<br />
this month include Fukuoka to<br />
Nagoya and Sapporo to Nagoya.<br />
To those of you travelling with<br />
us for the very first time, I’d like<br />
to extend a very warm welcome.<br />
Wherever you’re travelling<br />
with Jetstar, I know our team<br />
will be doing their very best to<br />
provide an enjoyable and hasslefree<br />
experience.<br />
Thanks for choosing to fly<br />
with Jetstar. We look forward to<br />
seeing you again soon.<br />

Sample the flavours of Victoria<br />
– and get your hands dirty in<br />
the kitchen and garden<br />
Melbourne’s culinary culture is<br />
on show this month, as its<br />
annual food and wine festival takes<br />
off. Here’s your chance to enjoy<br />
tastings, classes and markets all over<br />
the city and elsewhere in Victoria.<br />
This year’s happenings revolve<br />
around the theme “Earth”, and a<br />
desire to return to the source of all<br />
things delicious and good for the<br />
soul. Events include the Bank of<br />
Melbourne World’s Longest Lunch,<br />
the festival’s opening banquet in<br />
Fitzroy Gardens, where guests<br />
will savour local produce from a<br />
three-course menu while seated at a<br />
500m-long table.<br />
Spotlighting the most<br />
cherished restaurants<br />
and bars in Melbourne<br />
is the main goal of<br />
the festival, and the<br />
committee has come<br />
up with a bucket list<br />
of 56 bars and over 90<br />
restaurants. The Bar<br />
Express roster offers a<br />
choice sip and tasting plate<br />
at $18, while The Restaurant<br />
Express players will be serving a<br />
two-course menu at $40.<br />
Langham Masterclass Weekend<br />

fashion<br />
festival<br />
Melbourne’s week-long<br />
haute couture pow-wow is<br />
on this month. Executive<br />
producer Geraldine Frater<br />
walks us down the runway<br />
Attention to detail is a<br />
must in the fashion scene,<br />
says L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion<br />
Festival head honcho Geraldine<br />
Frater. For her team, a week’s<br />
work includes booking<br />
entertainment, casting models,<br />
appointing and working with<br />
stylists, overseeing hair and<br />
make-up themes, and liaising<br />
with design, creative and<br />
technical teams.<br />
“We rehearse the show and<br />
lighting concepts to the music,<br />
cue the models and control<br />
all that happens during the<br />
show and in the venue,” says<br />
Frater. “Shows can happen up<br />
to six times a day if you include<br />
rehearsals.”<br />
With well-respected and cult<br />
designers such as Karen Walker<br />
and Alice McCall carting their<br />
collections to the event, one of<br />
the challenges for Frater’s team<br />
is to keep track of the wardrobes.<br />
“We manage thousands of<br />
items, such as clothes, shoes<br />
and accessories during the<br />
week,” says Frater. “It’s always<br />
a logistical challenge to ensure<br />
each garment is where it needs<br />
to be and allocated to the right<br />
model on time, every time.”<br />
Seeing the pieces lock into<br />
place, however, makes the frenzy<br />
worth it. “It’s extremely rewarding<br />
knowing all the hard work has<br />
paid off when the lights, music,<br />
models and outfits happen as<br />
planned,” says Frater.<br />
LMFF is on from 18–24 March.<br />

Australia’s best-loved modelturned-designer<br />
talks about life<br />
beyond the catwalk<br />
Describe the style<br />
philosophy behinD your<br />
label, isola.<br />
Classic, chic, sophisticated and<br />
wearable. And fit is key.<br />
Why DiD you start<br />
the label?<br />
I was approached by Anthony<br />
Halas, CEO of Seafolly Australia.<br />
He wanted to start a new swimwear<br />
company and offered me the role of<br />
creative director.<br />
this season’s inspiration is…<br />
A Mediterranean summer – fun,<br />
flirty and full of colour. Isola’s<br />
bestselling styles will remain,<br />
with the addition of a few<br />
new silhouettes to keep<br />
things fresh.<br />
explain your<br />
Design process.<br />
We have an amazingly<br />
talented and hard-working<br />
team, and I love sitting down with<br />
them and working through ideas<br />
for the upcoming season. Being a<br />
creative soul, I love to play around<br />
and experiment with prints, colours,<br />
trims and styles.<br />
What Do you enjoy about<br />
moDelling?<br />
I really enjoyed the catwalk and it<br />
was a hard decision to step away<br />
from it, but it was definitely time.<br />
If I’d kept going, I may not have<br />
pursued new career possibilities and<br />
perhaps wouldn’t have Isola and be<br />
working in film – both things that<br />
I adore.<br />
I really enjoyed<br />
the catwalk and<br />
it was a hard<br />
decision to step<br />
away from it<br />
you have<br />
a role in the<br />
upcoming film maD<br />
max: fury roaD, Which is<br />
in post-proDuction. What<br />
attracteD you to it?<br />
So many things – getting the<br />
opportunity to work with director<br />
George Miller was high on the<br />
list. Also, the opportunity to work<br />
opposite Charlize Theron and Tom<br />
Hardy. They are both so brilliant.<br />
Check out this season’s Isola range at<br />
isola.com.au<br />
your hometoWn is perth –<br />
can you recommenD a great<br />
local attraction?<br />
A trip down south to Margaret River<br />
is a must. Lunch at Vasse Felix<br />
winery is a great experience.<br />
What’s your favourite<br />
jetstar Destination?<br />
I would have to say Bali. I flew to<br />
Bali with Jetstar about 18 months<br />
ago and you guys were great! And<br />
Bali… ahh, just heaven!<br />

gua bao, baby<br />
Australia’s Taiwanese food explosion will<br />
delight your tastebuds<br />
Taiwanese food has mostly<br />
remained under the radar<br />
in Australia – save for people’s<br />
growing taste for bubble tea and<br />
xiao long bao (dumplings) – but that<br />
won’t be the case for long.<br />
Australia’s proximity to Asia also<br />
means several Taiwanese eateries<br />
already exist in its urban areas.<br />
Brisbane contains the country’s<br />
largest Taiwanese population, a<br />
demographic well represented<br />
by the healthy roster of classic<br />
Taiwanese restaurants in Sunnybank<br />
– from the well-regarded Glamorous<br />
Wok to Yang’s, Half Time, Kingsfood<br />
Chinese and others.<br />
However, the emergence of<br />
contemporary Taiwanese food is<br />
best exemplified by the country’s<br />
two biggest cities. The phenomenon<br />
can be seen in action at Sydney’s<br />
Bao Dao and Melbourne’s<br />
Wonderbao, but one of the more<br />
notable openings has been Food<br />
Republik in Melbourne’s Asiandominated<br />
suburb of Box Hill,<br />
which is modelled after an old-style<br />
Taiwan village and features<br />
night-market décor<br />
with hawker stands.<br />
“It’s unlike<br />
anywhere else in<br />
Melbourne,” says<br />
proprietor Louis<br />
Kuo, who also<br />
owns the popular<br />
Taiwan Café in the<br />
CBD and the Dessert<br />
Story chain. Signature<br />
Food Republik dishes include<br />
Taiwanese beef noodles, gua bao<br />
(pork belly buns), and the country’s<br />
famed fried chicken, encrusted in a<br />
thin deep-fried batter with a five-spice<br />
powder rub and potato-starch crumb.<br />
So what exactly is Taiwanese<br />
food? “Taiwanese food isn’t so<br />
Taiwanese food<br />
isn’t so heavy<br />
in comparison<br />
to Mainland<br />
Chinese food<br />
heavy; it’s lighter in comparison<br />
to Mainland Chinese food,” says<br />
Blue Eye Dragon’s Muriel Chen,<br />
whose restaurant serves traditional<br />
Taiwanese food within the<br />
modern confines of a<br />
restored heritage building<br />
in Pyrmont, Sydney.<br />
Some of that<br />
lightness, she says,<br />
stems from Taiwan’s<br />
quality produce, which<br />
doesn’t require the<br />
heavier spicing of<br />
the mainland.<br />
Food Republik’s Kuo adds<br />
that Taiwanese food also tends to<br />
offer a salty and sweet combination,<br />
and often relies on five-spice powder<br />
to bring the flavour out. Taiwanese<br />
shafran<br />
food varies a lot from north to south,<br />
adds Changyun Chiang of Sydney’s<br />
michael<br />
Bao Dao, which specialises in rustic<br />
dishes and street food. Words:
shakshuka<br />
Move over ricotta hotcakes – shakshuka is Australia’s rising<br />
star of café breakfasts. The dish – eggs poached in a spicy<br />
tomato sauce – is one of Israel’s national dishes.<br />
“The flavours are quite beautiful,” says Israeli chef Michael<br />
Rantissi of the shakshuka he serves as a signature at his new<br />
Kepos Street Kitchen in Redfern. “It’s a beautiful substitute for<br />
poached eggs.”<br />
Variations abound, from those with feta or yoghurt to<br />
Moroccan-style with merguez sausage.<br />

3 To serve, pour the peanut sauce over the vegetables<br />
and garnish with the krupuk udang and fried shallots.<br />

INTO THE SEA: 9AM<br />
With a subtropical climate all year<br />
round, Okinawa is a great spot for<br />
diving and snorkelling. The Ryukyu<br />
Archipelago, which comprises<br />
160 islands, offers various dive<br />
sites, each with its own unique<br />
characteristics. If island hopping<br />
is not on your itinerary, but you’d<br />
still like a quick exploration of the<br />
waters, head to Odo Beach at the<br />
southern tip of the mainland. Less<br />
crowded and a favourite among<br />
locals, its bay teems with beautiful<br />
coral and fish, and there are even<br />
coral caves to investigate for more<br />
adventurous divers. GO! It takes<br />
about 45 minutes by car from<br />
central Naha to Odo Beach<br />
TUCK IN: 12.30PM<br />
Sample Okinawan cuisine at<br />
Umibiyori, a casual eatery with<br />
a view. The menu emphasises<br />
the use of healthy and seasonal<br />
ingredients. Highly recommended<br />
is the set lunch, which comprises<br />
small portions of seafood items. Or<br />
try the Okinawa soba, which uses<br />
wheat noodles instead of buckwheat,<br />
setting it apart from the soba<br />
offered in the rest of Japan. GO!<br />

Take in some history and culture<br />
at Shuri Castle – originally built<br />
in the late 14th century, it was<br />
reconstructed in 1992 after wars and<br />
fires destroyed it many times over<br />
the centuries. It’s now on UNESCO’s<br />
World Heritage list and a must-see<br />
attraction in Okinawa. The castle’s<br />
hilltop location also affords a great<br />
view of the city.<br />
GO! Shuri Castle is 15–20 minutes’<br />
walk from Shuri Station on the<br />
Okinawa Monorail<br />

Nicola McCoy confronts her<br />
fears by diving with great<br />
whites in the open ocean<br />
It’s been 38 years since the dreaded<br />
“da na, da na” tune hit our screens,<br />
but the fear of Steven Spielberg’s<br />
film Jaws has never left me.<br />
So what better way to face my<br />
phobias than head on? I head out for<br />
a cage dive in Port Lincoln, South<br />
Australia. After a 5.45am wake-up<br />
call, and a three-hour cruise south off<br />
the mainland, I’m floating in the sea<br />
near the Neptune Islands, the Great<br />
White Shark capital of Australia.<br />
Already, a 4m-long beast is circling<br />
the boat. My nerves are peaking, yet<br />
surprisingly, so is my excitement. I<br />
am so close to the most feared fish in<br />
the world, yet I can’t wait to get the<br />
wetsuit on and jump into the cage.<br />
There is not one, but four great<br />
whites in the water with me, each up<br />
to 5m long. I’m amazed that they are<br />
so graceful in the water – it’s almost<br />
calming. That is, until someone<br />
on the boat above me throws bait<br />
into the water. Now, it’s all about<br />
the attack. Their speed, power and<br />
agility are incredible to watch.<br />
After a mesmerising 45 minutes<br />
in the cage, my time is up. I’m not<br />
sure I’d be thrilled to see a great<br />
white without a safety cage, but I do<br />
recommend this dive to everyone –<br />
even scaredy-cats like me.<br />

autumn<br />
colours<br />
This season’s beauty look is<br />
all about romance, with pretty<br />
pinks and soft reds<br />
1. eyeS<br />
This season, eyes are all about pink,<br />
green and blue. All eye shades,<br />
skin tones and ages can wear them<br />
confidently – the trick is in<br />
the application.<br />
The paler your skin, the lighter<br />
the application should be – a sheer<br />
wash of colour if you’re blondehaired<br />
and blue-eyed (ditto if<br />
you’re over 30). Olive and very dark<br />
complexions can afford to go deeper<br />
with pigment, even applying as a<br />
wet shadow for an opaque finish.<br />
Hint: Keep mascara simple – black<br />
or brown, and one coat only – and<br />
skip liner altogether. Try: YSL Eye<br />
Collector Palette 4 Wet and Dry Eye<br />
Shadows, $90; stockists: 1300 651 991.<br />
2. Skin<br />
Keep it clean with a velvetysoft<br />
foundation finish, then get<br />
strategic with highlighter for a<br />
soft glow (not shimmer or shine,<br />
ever). Blend sparingly where light<br />
would naturally hit your face –<br />
brow bones, cheeks, the tip of your<br />
nose – or blend a little into your<br />
foundation before you apply it.<br />
Try: Lancôme Éclat Miracle Light<br />
Complexion Illuminator, $55 from Myer.<br />
3. lipS<br />
Whether you choose a stain of<br />
colour, a sheer gloss or a bright,<br />
bold lip, think pink or red.<br />
Try: Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick in<br />
Dragon, $38; www.au.shiseido.com<br />
beauty » take off<br />
1<br />
3<br />
4. CheekS<br />
Imagine the colour your cheeks turn<br />
naturally when you’re just in from<br />
the cold. This is the look you’re after<br />
– a slightly flushed reddish-pink.<br />
For application, think natural, not<br />
doll-like. Apply colour sparingly,<br />
building up depth slowly until you<br />
achieve the desired effect. Try: Aveda<br />
Petal Essence Face Accents in Hibiscus,<br />
$39.95; aveda.com.au<br />
5. nailS<br />
If you’re too shy to wear brighter<br />
shades on eyes, cheeks or lips, make<br />
a statement with glossy pink or red<br />
nails. Try: Bobbi Brown Nail Polish in<br />
Pink Valentine and Valentine Red, $26<br />
each; bobbibrown.com.au<br />

I<br />
used to hate it when there was a<br />
baby on the plane. Now I<br />
have a baby, things have<br />
changed. I love it when MY baby is<br />
on the plane.<br />
People always say to me that it must<br />
be hard if our baby is screaming.<br />
Nope, I’ve got noise-cancelling<br />
headphones. Good luck, Mum!<br />
Also, one hour of screaming<br />
between Sydney and Melbourne is<br />
better than nine hours of screaming<br />
on the Hume Highway<br />
with 17 toilet stops.<br />
Sure, the other<br />
passengers<br />
wouldn’t have to<br />
sit through that<br />
experience, but<br />
I would. When<br />
it comes to<br />
travel, I look after<br />
number one.<br />
“Can I get a beer?<br />
There’s a noisy baby next to me!”<br />
Another reason I love flying with<br />
my baby is that it’s FREE! Up to<br />
the age of two, children travel at no<br />
cost. So don’t blame me, blame the<br />
airlines.<br />
I don’t want you to get the wrong<br />
impression. Sometimes I take the<br />
noise-cancelling headphones off<br />

Comedian Tom Gleeson<br />
loves travelling with his<br />
bub – here’s why<br />
If you’re siting<br />
next to a baby,<br />
don’t ask for<br />
a new seat. It<br />
could get worse<br />
to help my wife because<br />
a baby can be used as a<br />
weapon. All you have to do is<br />
hold back on food and water, and a<br />
baby can let rip with a scream to rival<br />
the sound of the jet engines. It’s an<br />
ear-penetrating menace that can be<br />
aimed in any direction.<br />
The truth is my baby is rather<br />
well behaved, but if a passenger<br />
lowers their seat into my face,<br />
takes off their shoes or leaves their<br />
iPhone key tones on loud, I’ll give<br />
them a blast of baby that will be<br />
so disorienting, it will render them<br />
sterile for a year.<br />
So next time you fly, if you’re<br />
sitting next to a baby, don’t ask for<br />
a new seat. It could get worse. They<br />
might seat you next to me.<br />
Tom is currently touring his new<br />
standup show Hello Bitches in<br />

W<br />
il Anderson could have<br />
it so much easier. With<br />
cheekbones you could<br />
hang your laundry off, a febrile wit<br />
and media ubiquity across television,<br />
radio, podcasts and standup, he’d be<br />
entitled to a rest. Were he so inclined,<br />
he might shill everything from<br />
motors to moisturiser, then pack<br />
out the odd 3,000-seat venue once a<br />
month when he felt like it. He could,<br />
but he won’t.<br />
Instead, the 39-year-old comedian<br />
has encoded into his DNA the work<br />
ethic of the dairy farm where he<br />
grew up in the Gippsland region of<br />
tips for aspiring<br />
comedians<br />
» “Play to as wide a variety of<br />
audiences as possible. there will<br />
always be those who get you. Find<br />
the ones who don’t and learn how to<br />
entertain them.”<br />
» “It’s okay to start out being Oasis<br />
writing versions of beatles songs,<br />
but you eventually need to find your<br />
own sound. Which will of course be<br />
influenced by other people.”<br />
» “Don’t be afraid to fail. We’ve all<br />
died, but no one has died so badly in<br />
the history of comedy that everyone<br />
else has got together and said, ‘You’re<br />
not allowed to do this anymore.’”<br />
“All I’m AImIng<br />
to produce is<br />
something better<br />
than the last one”<br />
Victoria. Where many comics can<br />
squeeze an entire career out of 50<br />
solid minutes of material, Anderson<br />
has created a new hour-long show<br />
every year since 1997. It’s a work rate<br />
that borders on the OCD-esque, and<br />
becomes all the more staggering<br />
when you consider that Anderson<br />
is also host of ABC TV’s Gruen<br />
franchise, runs the TOFOP podcast<br />
and does more tweeting than a<br />
hatchling nursery.<br />
His current live show, GoodWil,<br />
is his 18th solo offering at the<br />
Melbourne International Comedy<br />
Festival. “I wish I could tell you<br />
what it’s about,” says Anderson,<br />
“but it turns out that the first week<br />
is always different from the end<br />
product. It evolves, and all I’m<br />
aiming to produce is something<br />
better and more interesting than the<br />
last one.”<br />
Part of the reason behind<br />
Anderson’s success is undoubtedly
GC9760_1

“I know there wIll<br />
be nIghts where<br />
it will be a hard<br />
slog, and all I’ll<br />
be able to take<br />
away from<br />
the evening is a<br />
clue on how to do<br />
thIngs better”<br />
his anger. He bays at hypocrisy,<br />
keens at double standards and will<br />
return to these subjects as long as<br />
they make some sections of society<br />
squirm with discomfort. “I don’t<br />
have the philosophy that subject<br />
matter is like an Etch-A-Sketch<br />
which you shake clean at the end<br />
of a certain show,” he says. “I will<br />
talk about gay marriage until it is<br />
no longer an issue. I will talk about<br />
the fact that for me to be able to buy<br />
a shiny new Apple laptop for a few<br />
hundred dollars means someone<br />
along the line is getting screwed.<br />
None of us is pure, and this is a<br />
subject that I’m passionate about<br />
exploring on stage.”<br />
But that’s only what the audience<br />
sees. The true measure of many a<br />
performer’s character is whether<br />
their colleagues and audiences<br />
feel the same way about them. In<br />
comedy circles, Anderson is the<br />
guy who will forfeit his fee when<br />
a festival goes bust so that other<br />
performers can afford plane tickets<br />
home. The guy who will do a spot<br />
at your charity night. The guy who<br />
will take a call from an acquaintance<br />
whose stage confidence is waning.<br />
The guy who will launch your<br />
book in exchange for a beer or two<br />
afterwards. The guy who would<br />
be rather uncomfortable with the<br />
preceding four sentences.<br />

advertising debate show Gruen<br />
Planet is yet to be finalised for <strong>2013</strong>,<br />
Anderson has never been tempted to<br />
do a Russell Brand and try his hand<br />
at acting. “It doesn’t really interest<br />
me,” he says. “Acting is about trying<br />
your best to be another person,<br />
whereas standup is about being as<br />
honest about yourself as possible,<br />
being the most ‘me’ I can be.”<br />
GoodWil will no doubt whet<br />
the appetite of his myriad fans<br />
on Australia’s festival circuit, but<br />
Anderson is also touring parts of<br />
the United States where his name<br />
and reputation mean little. “I know<br />
there will be nights where it will<br />
be a hard slog, and all I’ll be able<br />
to take away from the evening is a<br />
clue on how to do things better,” he

says. “Sometimes you can do 160<br />
great shows in a row and on night<br />
161 the audience just won’t like it.<br />
It happens to everyone, no matter<br />
where they are in their career.”<br />
At his restless core, Anderson<br />
is a creature of the stage. It’s<br />
been that way since his first gig<br />
at Melbourne’s Esplanade Hotel<br />
in 1997. “I wore a cap,” he recalls.<br />
“Rookie error – the audience needs<br />
to see your face as a standup. I<br />
didn’t know what to be afraid of, so<br />
it went well.”<br />
The price that many comics pay<br />
for mainstream success is selfcensorship.<br />
The material needs to<br />
be safer, cleaner, lightly bruising as<br />
opposed to leave-a-scab incisive.<br />
Not Anderson. In comic parlance,<br />
he’ll “go there” by calling it as he<br />
wil’s favourite<br />
destinations:<br />
Byron<br />
Bay<br />
HoBart<br />
Mel-<br />
Bourne<br />
“I first went there<br />
11 years ago for the<br />
Splendour in the<br />
Grass music festival.<br />
I keep returning. I<br />
spend more time<br />
there than visiting<br />
my parents.”<br />
“It’s just such a<br />
beautiful town and its<br />
Museum of Old and<br />
New Art (MONA) is<br />
so much fun.”<br />
“I spend a month<br />
here every year<br />
for the comedy<br />
festival and I love<br />
wandering around<br />
its laneways. It is<br />
the anchor to my life<br />
and year.”<br />
sees it on everyone, from Alan Jones<br />
to Kate Middleton, to the parents<br />
who named their child Hashtag. Yes,<br />
it’s gained him a handful of enemies<br />
over the years, but it’s won him a<br />
whole lot more friends.<br />
Better yet is how the three-catowning<br />
vegetarian lets us into<br />
his life. For his standup shows, he<br />
chooses rooms that hold hundreds<br />
rather than thousands, and he works<br />
them five nights a week before<br />
moving to the next city. The result<br />
is small scale, sweaty and close up.<br />
The audience feels like they get to<br />
know him well, and Anderson feels<br />
right at home.<br />

Camilla Franks<br />
OCCUPATION: DESIGNER<br />
BRAND: CAMILLA<br />
“Aussie fashion reflects<br />
our humour, lifestyle and<br />
sunny personas”<br />
It was a leap of faith, but it had to<br />
be done: in November 2007 Camilla<br />
Franks decided to move her business<br />
– creating lusciously flowing,<br />
vibrantly coloured kaftans – from her<br />
apartment to a store on Bondi Beach.<br />
“After the launch of the store,<br />
every piece had sold and it was so<br />
humbling for me to find there really<br />
was a demand for my designs,”<br />
she says, reflecting on what she<br />
considers her big break. Since then<br />
the Camilla designs have taken the<br />
world by storm.<br />
“I’m so excited to be bringing<br />
some Camilla love to Melbourne,”<br />
she says of participating in<br />
LMFF. “It is appealing because<br />
it’s consumer based, but has the<br />
prestige of a high-fashion event.”<br />

OCCUPATION: MILLINER<br />
BRAND: RICHARD NYLON MILLINERY<br />
“The ’80s never left me,<br />
but I have transformed<br />
with the times”<br />
Around Melbourne he’s one of<br />
those characters who is recognised<br />
wherever he goes, having been part<br />
of the scene since the mid-’80s when<br />
he studied fashion at RMIT.<br />
“Then, as now, music and fashion<br />
went together,” reflects milliner<br />
Richard Nylon. “So I became a variety<br />
of goth I called ‘glamour goth’. It was<br />
goth, but with well-applied make-up<br />
and no raggy clothes.”<br />
During LMFF he’ll be working<br />
with Gwendolynne Burkin, whom<br />
he met on her 22nd birthday – the<br />
pair have collaborated ever since.<br />
“We have a similar aesthetic when it<br />
comes to eras that we are fond of and<br />
fashion looks we like,” he explains.<br />

Lui Hon. The Malaysian-born,<br />
Melbourne-based designer reached<br />
the top four during season one of<br />
Project Runway Australia in 2008.<br />
Encouraged by his success and<br />
positive feedback from Helmut Lang,<br />
he launched his eponymous label<br />
with business partner Luka Maich in<br />
2009, winning instant plaudits.<br />
His designs, all manufactured<br />
in Melbourne, are stunning<br />
displays of craftsmanship, blending<br />
careful construction and clever<br />
embellishment with complete<br />
versatility. “I try to stick with a<br />
simple note in a design that can<br />

“I can never tell where my<br />
inspiration will come from,<br />
but it’s always there to<br />
be discovered”<br />
It’s really no surprise celebrities like<br />
Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole<br />
Richie have been seen sporting<br />
Megan Park designs. Each of the<br />
designer’s pieces is an individual<br />
creation made from hand-dyed<br />
and printed fabrics, which are then<br />
embroidered and assembled<br />
by hand.<br />
“We are less driven by trends<br />
at Megan Park and as such<br />
we develop each collection<br />
instinctively,” says the designer of<br />
her label’s individuality.<br />
Frequent trips to Tokyo and<br />
India provide inspiration, but, says<br />
Megan, an idea for next season<br />
could really come from anywhere.<br />

“I had a one-track mind<br />
my whole life and never<br />
considered any other career”<br />
A bit like Russell Crowe and<br />
Crowded House, Kate Sylvester is<br />
a Kiwi Australians like to claim as<br />
one of their own. Since the launch of<br />
her first collection in 1993, her brand<br />
of witty, feminine, sophisticated<br />
designs have become a staple of<br />
local catwalks and closets.<br />
Taking inspiration from books,<br />
art and music, she has a unique<br />
approach to each collection. “For me,<br />
each one is a story,” Kate explains.<br />
“So, like an author, I start to create a<br />
character, or characters, a setting, an<br />
era and then an entire narrative.”<br />
Like many of the designers at<br />
LMFF, what Kate appreciates most<br />
about the event is interacting with<br />
the people who wear her clothes.<br />

nature. The water temperature is<br />
usually above 20˚C and a lovely<br />

Get a feel for the food scene at<br />
the Noosa Farmers Market (held<br />
on Sundays) or Belmondos Fresh<br />
Food Market (open every day). As<br />
well as a butcher, baker and deli,<br />
Belmondos’ café serves meals under<br />
$15. Onsite Clandestino Roasters<br />
produce a fine cold-drip coffee.<br />
Noosa has perfected the casual<br />
fine-dining experience, with<br />
restaurants championing local<br />
produce. At Thomas Corner Eatery<br />
in Noosaville, chef David Rayner<br />
creates simple yet stunning dishes<br />
such as pork fillet, crackle, local figs<br />
and apple with Pedro Ximénez sauce.<br />
Rickys Bar + Restaurant is<br />
the place to go for cocktails and<br />
waterfront fine-dining on the Noosa<br />
River. The same owners have just<br />
opened a steak restaurant next door,<br />
Wood Fire Grill, offering prime cuts<br />
with house-made condiments.<br />
When it opened just over two<br />
Street Resort and Spa decided to<br />
make its restaurant more special<br />
than the usual resort eatery. View<br />
on Little Hastings has become a<br />
dining destination in its own right.<br />
Standout dishes include crisp-fried<br />
pork belly and pan-fried sage.<br />
If you’re in town for a short time,<br />
eat your way along the boardwalk<br />
at Main Beach, Noosa Heads. Have<br />
breakfast at Bistro C (try the corn<br />
cakes); lunch at Sails Restaurant (try<br />
the sashimi); and dinner at Berardo’s<br />
Bistro on the Beach (you can’t go<br />
wrong with fish of the day). All of<br />
these restaurants allow you to watch<br />
the waves while you eat.<br />

NOOSA HEADS FOR<br />
ROMANTICS<br />
Noosa Heads is the ideal romantic<br />
escape, with glorious beaches and<br />
great accommodation. Fairshore<br />
Apartments sit between Hastings<br />
Street and Main Beach’s boardwalk.<br />
Deckchairs on glass-fronted<br />
balconies provide hours of bliss-out<br />
time, mesmerising guests with<br />
swaying palms and rolling waves.<br />
Outrigger Little Hastings Street<br />
Resort and Spa is set further back<br />
from the beach, giving serene<br />
bush views of the National Park.<br />
Penthouses and villas are set on<br />
a hill facing the ocean – a spot<br />
recommended for sunset drinks.<br />
One of the most popular romantic<br />
activities in Noosa is to cruise with<br />
Noosa Dreamboats aboard the<br />
Noosa Dream, a 1940s-style classic<br />
speedboat complete with driver.<br />
Explore the river, Noosa Sound and<br />
peaceful Lake Cooroibah, or have a<br />
picnic for two on a sandbar (one to<br />
keep in mind for proposals).<br />
If you really want to impress, go<br />
on a sunset cruise then have them<br />
drop you off for dinner at Rickys<br />
– it’s delightful to have a pontoon<br />
landing at this gorgeous waterfront<br />
restaurant in Noosa Heads.<br />

There’s a sense of anticipation<br />
when you join a queue – one<br />
that’s likely to be paired<br />
with a little frustration and a side<br />
of impatience. It’s a feeling I know<br />
well, but as I pull my car into the<br />
line-up for the ferry from Kettering<br />
to Bruny Island, on Tasmania’s<br />
south-east coast, I find myself<br />
enjoying the wait.<br />
I leave my car and walk over to<br />
the nearby Mermaid Café for a<br />
coffee and stand by the window<br />
looking out over South Haven and<br />
Oyster Cove Marinas. The calm<br />
waters are packed with yachts and<br />
fishing boats of all sizes.<br />
The Mirambeena Ferry arrives,<br />
and one by one the cars roll on<br />
board and we motor away from<br />
Kettering. It takes 20 minutes to<br />
reach Bruny Island, a place loved<br />
for its unspoilt beaches, abundant<br />
wildlife, towering sea cliffs, remote<br />
feel and, more recently, its diverse<br />
sustainable produce.<br />
Bruny Islanders have long<br />
trodden a do-it-yourself path to<br />
foodie success amid a magnificent<br />
setting. Locally grown produce<br />
flourishes here due to a blend of<br />
local passion and ideal growing<br />
conditions, and my plan is to taste<br />
a little of the island in each meal<br />
during my weekend stay.<br />
Just three kilometres from the<br />
ferry port is the Bruny Island Smoke<br />

House, known acronymically as BISH.<br />
It’s nearing lunchtime as I walk inside<br />
the beautiful stone building with a<br />
wide veranda overlooking serene<br />
Sykes Cove. I eagerly study the labels<br />
of chutneys, preserves and pastes<br />
before perusing the fridge stocked<br />
with smoked goods: I sample smoked<br />
trout, wallaby and leatherwood<br />
duck, and purchase hot smoked<br />
Atlantic salmon.<br />
Fifteen minutes later, I park the<br />
car and stroll down the drive to the<br />
Bruny Island Cheese Company.<br />
My cheese knowledge amounts to<br />
knowing what I like, but even to<br />
an untrained palate their range of<br />
cheese is distinctive. I walk away<br />
with wedges of toma (hard, naturalrind<br />
cow cheese) and raw milk C2<br />
(hard, cooked curd), and a loaf of<br />
organic wood-fired sourdough bread.<br />
Moments down the road, I reach a<br />
narrow isthmus called The Neck, a<br />
stretch of land that separates north<br />
and south Bruny. Stopping at the<br />
Neck Game Reserve I climb the<br />
timber steps to the top of a sand<br />
hummock. I’m rewarded with 360-<br />
degree views of the beach, bush and<br />
sea. At dusk, fairy penguins make<br />
their way up the beach to settle<br />
noisily into their burrows in<br />
the dunes.<br />
I set off for the Bruny Island Berry<br />
Farm, which is about half an hour’s<br />
drive away. On arriving I grab a<br />
bucket and fill it to overflowing with<br />
plump fresh strawberries, plucked<br />
straight from the low-lying bushes.<br />
Later that evening, the hot<br />
smoked salmon I bought at BISH<br />
plays a fine leading role in a light,<br />
Asian-style salad. The meal is<br />

altitude » off the beaten track<br />
complemented by an unwooded<br />
local chardonnay I picked up<br />
from the vineyard at Bruny Island<br />
Premium Wines.<br />
Next morning, I drive out to Cape<br />
Bruny Lighthouse, set high on a cliff<br />
top on the southernmost tip of the<br />
island. The views are spectacular:<br />
looking behind me, I take in the<br />
rolling green hills, the historic<br />
lighthouse keeper’s cottages and<br />
a curved sweep of beach at<br />
Cloudy Bay.<br />
Back on Bruny Island’s Main<br />
Road, I stop at an oyster caravan at<br />
Great Bay, with the cheeky name<br />
Get Shucked. I buy three dozen<br />
oysters – $12 for a dozen. The first<br />
of the oysters disappears quickly,<br />
leaving me feeling satisfied and<br />
fortunate to have such delectable<br />
treats literally at my fingertips.<br />

sudoku<br />
Grab a pencil, put on your thinking cap and join the craze!<br />
The objective of sudoku is to fill in<br />
the missing squares so that each<br />
row, column and 3x3 box contains<br />
the numbers 1 through to 9. To get<br />
you started, here are a few tactics…<br />
Scan each horizontal and vertical<br />
band consisting of three 3x3 boxes.<br />
It’s often easiest to start in a spot<br />
with the most numbers already<br />
given. If you can find the same<br />
number in two rows, you know<br />
that number must be in the third<br />

8 9 1 7<br />
7 1 9<br />
1 3 9 6<br />
2 7<br />
3 5<br />
(the same goes for columns). Now<br />
see which intersecting rows and<br />
columns can be eliminated because<br />
they also contain that number. (This<br />
method is called slicing and dicing.)<br />
Some sudoku fans like to pencil in<br />
possible answers in the corners of<br />
individual squares. Once you have<br />
a few numbers filled in, you may<br />
also find it handy to jot down a list<br />
of missing numbers for each row,<br />
column and box.<br />

Support for child rights<br />
increases opportunities for<br />
the youth of Surabaya<br />
R<br />
ohani was still in primary<br />
school when her parents<br />
arranged for her future<br />
marriage. When she turned 16,<br />
Rohani’s parents asked her whether<br />
she would like to leave school and<br />
marry her fiancé.<br />
Early marriages are common in<br />
many Indonesian communities,<br />
including in the city of Surabaya in<br />
East Java. The practice is even more<br />
common among poor families, who<br />
may view early marriage as a way to<br />
ease the financial stress of providing<br />
for their teenage children.<br />
Unfortunately, because people<br />
who get married at a young age<br />
often haven’t finished school, they<br />
commonly end up in lower-paid<br />
jobs. The cycle of poverty means<br />
that the next generation of children<br />
may also be married young.<br />
Since 2009, World Vision has<br />
been helping young people in<br />
Surabaya realise their potential for a<br />
brighter future. With the support of<br />
StarKids, World Vision is working<br />
with all levels of the community<br />
– from children and their parents<br />
through to government – to help<br />
ensure that children are given every<br />
opportunity to thrive in life.<br />
“Many teenagers have decided to<br />
continue their education through<br />
to university,” says project leader<br />
Nunus. “Others have decided to<br />
work in order to save for their<br />
university education. Their college<br />
dreams are still alive,” she adds.<br />
Fortunately for Rohani, her<br />
parents did not pressure her<br />
to marry. She chose instead to<br />
continue her studies and in 2012<br />
graduated from high school. She’s<br />
now studying to become a midwife,<br />
and hopes one day to become a<br />
doctor – a goal within reach for a<br />
girl who dares to dream big.<br />

Jetstar team members across the<br />

6 December 2012. All cabin crew on<br />
each flight wore bright orange T-shirts<br />
to mark the occasion. StarKids<br />
ambassador Mel Doyle hosted a fun<br />
game of trivia at the Melbourne head<br />
office. We’re very proud of the work<br />
that StarKids continues to support,<br />
and we thank you, our amazing<br />

question time<br />
The Jetstar team tells all!<br />
Peter Rodda,<br />
manager, flying<br />
operations<br />
(Melbourne<br />
Avalon Airport)<br />
What’s the<br />
maximum<br />
height a<br />
Jetstar plane<br />
can fly?<br />
A: The maximum<br />
height that our aircraft fly at<br />
cruising altitude is approximately<br />
12,000m above sea level. This height<br />
is determined by several factors<br />
including the weight of the aircraft,<br />
as the heavier the aircraft is, the<br />
lower you have to fly. Atmospheric<br />
conditions, such as temperature<br />
and wind, also affect the height. The<br />
hotter it is, the lower you have to fly.<br />
You also want to fly at an altitude<br />
that avoids headwinds, which slow<br />
the aircraft down.<br />
Air traffic control requirements<br />
mean that if a number of aircraft<br />
are flying along the same route,<br />
not everyone can cruise at the<br />
same altitude. The most important<br />
consideration for determining our<br />
cruising altitude is fuel usage. For<br />
jet aircraft, we can minimise our fuel<br />
burn by flying as high as we can. Jet<br />
aircraft can fly faster in the thinner<br />
and colder air at high altitude.<br />

Best day trip from the city<br />
Ubud is regarded as the cultural centre<br />
of Bali. It has many beautiful sights<br />
and a general feeling of wellbeing<br />
from its spiritual surroundings, and is<br />
easily accessible in the day.<br />
Top three shopping spots<br />
The new beachwalk has a fantastic<br />
array of new and modern shops,<br />
restaurants and a cinema. It’s just<br />
opposite the beautiful Kuta Beach<br />
and has plenty for the family to<br />
do. Discovery Shopping Mall has<br />
everything local available at great<br />
prices. The lovely little boutique shops<br />
around The Villas, especially on Jalan<br />
Raya Seminyak, are a break from the<br />
bustle of Kuta.<br />
Most unique<br />
tourism experience<br />
Bali celebrates Nyepi, which marks the<br />
beginning of the Hindu new year. The<br />
night before Nyepi, villagers frighten<br />
away evil spirits by banging drums,<br />
gongs, pots and sometimes setting<br />
off fireworks. Nyepi itself is a day<br />
of silence and meditation. It is said<br />
that the evil spirits are tricked into<br />
believing that Bali is abandoned and<br />
therefore go back to the underworld,<br />
leaving the island in peace for another<br />
year. It’s truly worth experiencing.<br />

Best day trip from the city<br />
Martinborough, an hour away by<br />
car or train, is a wino’s heaven. The<br />
vineyards are all within walking<br />
distance and offer wine tastings,<br />
cheese plates and cellar door tours.<br />
Vynfields is my pick of the bunch for<br />
its great tasting selection.<br />
Best place for<br />
outdoor exercise<br />
The South Coast. The views during<br />
a run are spectacular – you can see<br />
ferries passing by, planes as they<br />
arrive and depart, and the South Island.<br />
Most beautiful view in<br />
your city<br />
Mount Victoria boasts panoramic<br />
views of the whole Wellington<br />
region, and should be on any visitor’s<br />
itinerary. It’s a great walk up to the<br />
lookout, too.<br />
Best cinema<br />
Embassy Theatre in Kent Terrace has<br />
recently been refurbished to include<br />
two new cinemas and a very quirky<br />
bar, The Black Sparrow.<br />
Best place to see<br />
live sport<br />
Visit the basin reserve for a 20/20<br />
cricket match in the summer. Relax<br />
on the grass terraces with a nice cold<br />
drink while watching a game.

Best day trip<br />
Moreton Island is a great family<br />
destination with a bit of adventure. Take<br />
a walk to the top of Mount Tempest,<br />
the highest vegetated sand hill in the<br />
world. From the top, you can enjoy a<br />
360-degree view of the coastline.<br />
Best place for<br />
outdoor exercise<br />
One of my favourite places is<br />
Kangaroo Point, along the Brisbane<br />
River in the heart of the city. It’s a<br />
great venue for rock climbing, running<br />
and cycling.<br />
Best local dish<br />
One of the newest restaurants in town<br />
is Luke Nguyen’s Fat Noodle at the<br />
Treasury Casino. My favourite dish is<br />
the Fat Pho Noodles, made with the<br />
chef’s signature beef broth, thinly sliced<br />
Angus sirloin, and fresh basil and chilli.<br />
Best way to get around<br />
Two wheels is the best way to get<br />
around Brisbane by far. We have a<br />
great network of cycle paths, covering<br />
over 1,200 km, which can take you<br />
around the inner city and beyond.<br />
There’s also a city-cycle hire scheme,<br />
so you don’t even need your own bike.<br />
Things to do that make<br />
you look like a local<br />
Bridge to Brisbane is the city’s<br />
largest running event. Everyone who<br />
participates loves to show off their<br />
hard-earned finisher’s T-shirt, so it’s a<br />
great way to look like a local!<br />
you<br />
need to<br />

The coffee<br />
at Ryan’s on<br />

or meet with<br />

robbie bugden<br />
Brisbane-based Superbike racer Robbie Bugden is currently ranked<br />
sixth in Australia and first in New Zealand. He’ll next hit the tarmac<br />
in round four of the <strong>2013</strong> New Zealand Superbike Championships at<br />
Hampton Downs Raceway in Waikato on 16 & 17 March<br />
Q: WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST<br />
OVERSEAS TRIP?<br />
A: I was eight years old and we went<br />
to New Zealand. All I can remember<br />
was the snow and glow-worms.<br />
Q: WHERE HAS MOTORBIKE<br />
RACING TAKEN YOU TO IN<br />
YOUR CAREER?<br />
A: New Zealand, Japan, France,<br />
England, Germany, the Netherlands,<br />
Malaysia and China.<br />
Q: WHEN DID YOU GET YOUR<br />
FIRST MOTORBIKE?<br />
A: I was four years old, and the<br />
motorcycle was given to me and my<br />
sister to share by my uncle Shane. I<br />
started racing at 10 years of age, and<br />
that bike is still sitting in my garage.<br />
Q: WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST<br />
ABOUT THE NZ SUPERBIKE<br />
CHAMPIONSHIPS?<br />
A: Locals are passionate and<br />
hospitable about motorcycling<br />
and life. The natural beauty of the<br />
surroundings where each racetrack<br />
is located just adds to the enjoyment<br />
of racing in New Zealand.<br />
Q: FAVOURITE TRACKS TO<br />
RIDE ON?<br />
A: Hidden Valley Raceway in<br />
Australia and Hampton Downs<br />
Motorsport Park in New Zealand.<br />
New Zealanders<br />
are passionate<br />
and hospitable<br />
about<br />
motorcycling<br />
and life<br />
Q: FAVOURITE MOTORCYCLE<br />
ROAD TRIPS?<br />
A: In Australia, the route from<br />
Dayboro to Woodford via Mount<br />
Mee, Brisbane. In New Zealand, I’d<br />
recommend two road trips: the first<br />
is from Wanaka to Queenstown via<br />
Cardrona Valley Road. The second is<br />
from Christchurch to Akaroa.<br />
Q: FAVOURITE JETSTAR<br />
DESTINATION?<br />
A: Phuket is the best place in the<br />
world to relax and recharge, I would<br />
have to say!<br />
