    OPEN ANZAC

    DAY

    by CARMELO AMALFI

    FACING a fi ring squad after months of torture and deprivation, WWII POW John Milton Mews escaped death only because Hitler’s orders to shoot him were not followed.

    Now 92, the Fremantle-born father of three and grandfather of six who suff ers dementia and plays golf when he can says he wants to forget his years in a German POW camp.

    “I don’t dwell on the past very much,” former prisoner 39 told the Herald during lunch at his daughter Jane’s house.

    “Terrible things happened the whole time I was there.”

    About 30km northeast of Bremen, Marlag undo Milag Nord was a camp for men of the British merchant and Royal navies. Of more than 5000 Allied merchantmen captured by the Germans, most were held at the camp.

    Published in the Herald for the fi rst time since his release in April 1945, Mr Mews’ family has released photographs of the liberated camp, showing deserted barracks and watch towers overlooking barbed wire fences and dirt tracks.

    In one of a set of six black and white stills, people in heavy coats and beanies mill around in the cold on empty snow-covered fi elds.

    Mr Mews’ career at sea was delayed on August 14, 1941, when his ship Australind was sunk by the German raider Komet near the Galapagos islands. He spent fi ve months imprisoned under the raider’s gun decks, many prisoners going deaf from the sound of its booming guns.

    Mr Mews, “lost two good teeth routed out with a lever—no anaesthetic because I

    complained of a toothache”.He says early days in the

    German camp were bad because food parcels from the Red Cross did not arrive, many prisoners were put to work hungry and dehydrated.

    “In late 1941 with the storm troopers in charge of the camp we were often tortured, brutalised,” he wrote after the war. “I survived being sentenced to death with the rest of our camp because Hitler’s orders were not carried out.”

    Soon after liberation, he says: “I declared myself fi t whereas in actual fact I was a nervous wreck,” his disabilities a result

    of losing, “four years of the best years of my life”.

    Mr Mews says he went back to sea after returning to WA, trying to forget the war years, “including the 112 days locked below the gun decks of a German armed cruiser”.

    He says corresponding with family and friends had been important, particularly early in the war: “I enjoyed a bit of mail, we didn’t get much of it.”

    Brushing his captain’s hat, he says, “the very day I got in from England ... please forgive me, my memory is shot to bits … was the very day the Japanese capitulated.”

    NEARLY all the WA diggers who joined the fi rst Anzac convoy from Albany to Turkey in 1914 embarked at Fremantle.

    Most waited for two days on two ships anchored in Gages Road and took part in most of the major battles on the Gallipoli peninsula. Many never came home.

    Yet the lion’s share of federal Gallipoli centenary funding has gone to Albany where the Australian and NZ troops left Australia as a single Imperial force.

    The decision has left WA volunteers seriously short of cash to commemorate 1914-1915.

    “The focus is going to be on Albany, but all of WA’s troops left from Freo,” museum artillery barracks chairman Graham McEwan told the Herald.

    “All the federal money has been spent in Albany while we have to ask the state government to compensate for a lack of centenary funds.”

    On October 31, 1914, the day before the convoy left Albany, two transport ships anchored in Gages Road—Ascanius with WA 11th Infantry Battalion and Medic with WA 8th Field Artillery Battery.

    Mr McEwan says the WA contingent waited two days for the Albany convoy; one man became so bored he jumped ship and swam to shore to get drunk, missing the convoy.

    He says the WA troops had trained at Blackboy Hill in Greenmount, travelling to Fremantle by train.

    Images of the men and details of their departure from Fremantle and the largely unrecognised history of Blackboy Hill are documented on the Army Museum’s newly painted walls.

    Mr McEwan says the museum started planning its centenary events in 2007 and has

    • SNUBBED: Museum artillery barracks chair Graham McEwan says WA volunteers are disappointed with the lack of federal funds

    commemorating WA’s role in the Anzac campaign of WWI.

    managed to raise $2.5 million, mostly lottery grants.

    Other sites and groups around WA have not been as fortunate despite their part in the birth of the Anzac legend.

    Federal Fremantle Labor MP Melissa Parke says it is disappointing the Abbott government is yet to commit support for a planned commemorative event on Fremantle wharf.

    She says the event marking the departure of WA troops is

    expected to be held on Victoria Quay on October 31: “This will be the principal opportunity for the majority of people in WA to remember the Anzacs who departed a century ago, and to remind ourselves of the terrible cost and waste of war.

    “Funding for that event remains a critical issue and it is disappointing that the Abbott government is yet to commit its support.”

    She says Fremantle council successfully applied for $41,000, but was disappointed, “the federal government is not inclined to come forward with specifi c funding for the entire event”.

    Ms Parke and state Labor MP Simone McGurk have written to the WA premier and federal veteran aff airs minister stating Perth people are “unlikely to travel to Albany” for commemorations.

    Colin Barnett replied in March, stating government plans will ensure wider participation, “engaging school children and those that cannot travel to Albany”.

    Why does a positive response have to be longer than four lines? or even one? I was unaware of any word limit when I voiced my support. Loud and well-organised doesn’t mean the FICRA has more support: it just means it is louder and better organised.

    This inner-city resident is sick and tired of this group masquerading as the voice of fremantle.

    Hick protocolABBOTT—the bringer of false hope. It was with some surprise that on Friday April 11 the PM was proud to announce to the world, whilst in China, that the black box position of Malaysian fl ight MH370 had been narrowed to four square kilometres from the search vessels.

    Retired Air Chief Marshall Angus Houston, up to his ears in miscellaneous ‘pings’ was simultaneously hunkered down at the “Joint Agency Coordination Centre” in WA , of which he is the head..and mouthpiece, for any substantial leads.

    How can a prime minister release a statement of such devastating misinformation regarding the families directly related to this event, never having it ratifi ed by the very agency and Mr Houston fi rst?

    What kind of “small town make it up as ya go along hick protocols” whirl about in our prime minister’s head?

    Go postalREGARDING removal of the post box from the East Fremantle council (Herald, April 12, 2014).

    At 1am, surely there would be a bit of tra c about? I know what I would like to do to them, and I wouldn’t hand them over to the police.

    Frank CherryElderberry Dve, South LakeThe Ed says: We understand the

    maximum penalty is sitting through a full year of East Fremantle town council meetings, but Amnesty says that’s far too harsh.

    No applauseTODAY’S incident marked the second exchange of opinions (the fi rst was in the January school holidays) with a street performer in front of the Fremantle Markets.

    It is quite OK for street performers to display and share their talent with the public, though some would possibly benefi t from an accelerated course in people skills, especially when children are in the audience.

    Dear artists, your audience is mostly made of young families who choose whether to stop and view your act, and how close they may wish to stand. Please do not make a scene if parents prefer to stand toward the back of the circle and this does not suit you. Most importantly, do not engage in spoken directions nor, by means of blowing your whistle at a mother whilst indicating with a swing of your arm and index fi nger pointing at her (and her children) to move away from your show in front of everyone.

    Your conduct of today, and that of the other so-called artist, does not deserve applause; though it deserves a clap for appalling engagement of community amusement.

    A roundabout way of saying slow downHELLO, my name is Richard. I live on the South Fremantle bypass. When I moved here about 20 years ago it was called Daly Street, and it was so quiet you could play a full Test match on the road without disturbing anyone.

    With the development of the two nearby shopping centres and the South Beach ghost town, the tra c has steadily increased. We all have to put up with increased tra c, but not speed.

    In their infi nite wisdom the good folk at Main Roads saw fi t to not include a right-hand turn option west onto Douro Road from Hampton Road. This has forced South Fremantle residents and beachgoers to use Lloyd Street, then Daly, to enter the roundabout at Douro Rd heading west.

    To make this manoeuvre worthwhile you need to accelerate around the corner into Daly, power down the hill, then brake suddenly at the roundabout because it is in gridlock. Many happy motorists use Daly Street as a rat run to the shops, obviously needing to get their organic water before germs enter the bottles.

    On occasion I have given voice, in

    a friendly way, to errant motorists. One nice young man in a black V8 ute waved back and with horror I noticed he had lost four fi ngers in some ghastly accident, leaving a single digit! Recently a lovely young lady entering the Douro roundabout nearly took me out as I was crossing the road on my bicycle. She showed great dexterity in holding her coff ee cup in one hand and her mobile phone in the other without spillage, while averting a certain inconvenient moment.

    So far the death toll has been limited to birds and pets, but many older neighbours are fearful of venturing out. Motorists, please be more considerate.

    who cares!

    WE are four days into a six-day holiday and what had started as a quiet unease has become my principal focus: the pittance Balinese people are paid for working extraordinarily hard, and their inability to enjoy even a taste of the holiday lifestyle they provide foreigners.

    Tourism underpins Bali’s economy and the people here go out of their way to ensure the holiday experience is a happy one, but I wonder whether cheap and cheerful tourism, where operators seek to outdo each other with severely discounted accommodation packages and happy hour liquor, is restraining the Balinese from developing a more sustainable and diverse economy.

    Behind the ever-present smiles I detect sadness and, sometimes, resentment. And with good reason.

    Our driver (I’ll call him Madé—Hindu for second son) works for a company that pays him 500,000 rupiah a week as a wage. That’s about $50. In addition, Madé earns 10 per cent commission on fares. So of the 500,000 rupiah we’d paid for a full day’s driving, he took home to his wife and six-year-old son 50,000—about $5. He says in a good week he can expect to supplement his wage with 150,000 rupiah in commissions and about the same again in tips—so wages, tips and commission comes to $80, in a good week.

    Half Madé’s day was spent waiting by the car while we strolled through villages and admired the work of artisans paid similar peanut wages, or less, for intricate handiwork that takes years to master. Our drinks at lunch time cost us more than Madé made that day. He ate his packed lunch of rice and vegetables in the car, having refused our off er to sit with us.

    My nosy questions about pay for workers in Bali made Madé a little uncomfortable at fi rst, and it was only after we’d spent a couple of days together, and after a corrupt policeman demanded a bribe at a bogus tra c stop, that he really opened up.

    “Why they pull me over?” he grumbles, getting back into the car 50,000 rupiah lighter. “I have all my licences and even wearing my seatbelt. He tell me, Mr Bron, he want 80,000 rupiah so two polisi can go to lunch. I argue down to 50,000.”

    My attempt to lighten the mood by saying that in Australia our tra c cameras and speed traps cost us more cut little ice.

    “That money go to government, not corrupt polisi Mr Bron. It not good.”

    SeizedIf Madé hadn’t paid the bribe his

    documents would have been seized, disabling his ability to earn a living: The money demanded by the policeman meant Madé had eff ectively worked all day for nothing.

    “Your employer doesn’t cover it?” my wife asks, aghast: “He no care, my car for the day, I pay,” he sighs.

    But in the end I pay, adding the cost to the 250,000 rupiah tip I give Madé for his hot day’s work, which had included de facto tour guide duties and entertaining our 5-year-old, whose unceasing questions and yabbering would test the patience of the Dalai Lama, but could not defeat Madé.

    Earlier, when I’d asked Madé whether Balinese people ever get to enjoy the holiday lifestyle of their own island he laughs: “No, Mr Bron. Work too hard, all

    the time, all the time. Work.”Anyone who takes the time to look can

    see the truth of it. The only Balinese you’ll see on a beach or by a pool are those who serve you drinks, hand you a towel, massage your feet or look after your kids. Smiles everywhere, but also what seems to be a bone weariness.

    Anyone who’s visited the US to be served almost exclusively by African-Americans and Hispanic people may notice uncomfortable similarities: It may be the 21st century but the darker your skin, the more likely you’ll still be serving someone white.

    Balinese workers are everywhere: Four shop assistants for every customer, drivers, masseuses, gardeners, security guards—cheap labour means lots of jobs, but at subsistence level. Life is work. I couldn’t help but think is this a glimpse of Australia’s future if we continue to pursue casualisation and drive down or eliminate penalty rates in hospitality?

    Full employment, but at what cost?My wife, taking a cue from my

    questions to Madé, took the opportunity to interrogate her young masseuse. Suhalla (name changed) is 31 but looks 21 and says she has four children, one of whom is no longer here (the local custom is to include dead children in the family tally, and infant mortality is stubbornly high). Suhalla’s husband works at another hotel, doing laundry.

    Suhalla earns 10 per cent commission, so she gets 60,000 rupiah for every 90-minute massage (resort massages are more expensive than street vendors’, so the jobs are highly sought after as they have more prestige and pay better).

    Suhalla’s money is better than Madé’s but is intensely physical and still what any reasonable person would consider to be sweatshop rates.

While there he became increasingly edgy about the glaring inequality between the tourists and locals. Unable to sleep one night he broke out the iPad at 2am and this is what he wrote.

    A HERALD PROMOTIONAL FEATUREWHAT’S NEW

    All the fun of the Eco-Fair!

    Come to the the Mosman Park EcoFair on 3rd May between 10am and 4pm. Set in the beautiful heritage grounds of St Luke’s Church in Mosman Park, you’ll fi nd over 70 fantastic stalls packed with products and information about all aspects of eco-friendly living. There’s something for everyone, whatever topic you’re interested in, including recycled jewellery, electric bikes, local organic fruit and veg, fair trade products of all sorts, upcycled clothing, handmade aprons, wooden toys, local native seedlings, recycled artworks, soy-based soaps and more.

    Take a break with an organic coffee served in a china mug, refresh yourself with a freshly pressed juice or vegan smoothie. Snack on exquisite raw cakes, try the gozleme or tasty pastries…or an organic sausage to raise money for the Superfi ns, a disabled swim group.

    The kids will enjoy the playing with the faeries, making scarecrows, creating unique items from recycled wood, painting or exploring the cardboard castle. Listen to the uplifting sounds of the organ, or the Mighty Camelot Choir. Enjoy the sweet sounds of the

    talented local buskers. Learn about planting a vegie bed that grows

    productively, or fi nd out more about the link from soil to food.

    Don’t forget to buy a ticket in the raffl e. One prize will be reserved for people who visit all our treasure

    hunt stalls – the others include hampers, a folding bike, organic beef and more!

    Last year’s EcoFair produced only 4 bins of waste from 1500 people through the whole day! Can you help to beat that this year? Parking is limited – but the fair is near the train station and bus stops – or better still, if you wish to cycle, there’ll be a spot to put your bike.

    The EcoFair aims to educate and inspire while having fun. It is coordinated by a small group of volunteers and while they don’t aim to raise money, any extra funds will be put towards funky bike racks.

    It takes Suhalla and her husband an hour a day to get to work—like most Balinese they commute by motor scooter from suburbs that few tourists see or seek out. Suhalla’s widowed mother, who lives with the family of fi ve in their two-bedroom house, cares for the children.

    If you think “the wages are low but so are the prices” think again. A 35,000 rupiah ($3.50) satay lunch was incredibly cheap by Australian standards but it would have gobbled up more than a third of Madé’s daily wage. For an Australian earning $1000 a week that’s like spending $70 on a lunch you’d expect to pay $9 for in Australia.

    Happy hour buckets of cocktail grog cost 40,000 rupiah—$4—ridiculously cheap by our standards, but getting hammered on anything but the cheapest rice wine or Bintang beer is out of the question for Balinese.

    When you add costs like education—no state schools, they’re all fee-paid costing at least AUD$400 a year—and health (no free doctors, no Medicare-style insurance and few can aff ord private cover) you can see how di cult life is for the people whose job it is to smile and serve every day of their working lives. University is a dream for all but the wealthy and a tiny minority who secure rare academic scholarships.

    Most Balinese leave school at 17 and head straight into hospitality, retail or labouring. Just 10 per cent will leave the island to try their luck in Jakarta and very few will ever travel for leisure.

    And so we come to haggling: I know it is part of the culture but it is distasteful to me to haggle over a price that to me means $1 or $2 but to the person at the other end of the transaction represents a great deal more.

    I bought a kite in Ubud, handmade

    on the premises. No machinery—hand-crafted and painted. Madé said I should be able to get it for 60,000 rupiah ($6). The seller quoted 150,000, clearly expecting a fi erce haggle. I half-heartedly beat him down to 120,000 but because I didn’t have any smaller notes gave him the 150,000 and told him to keep the change. He might think I’m a western sucker who paid twice what he was willing to sell for, but if the profi t margin I provided means he can aff ord to sell a kite to a Balinese kid for less, then well and good. I got a beautiful, hand-crafted kite for 15 bucks. Bargain.

    Foreign investmentAs we drive through Denpasar on the

    way back to our Kuta beachside resort, Madé, following my prompting about the economy and jobs, expresses some modest but out-of-character resentment at the high level of foreign investment that is pushing up prices, making it harder for Balinese people to aff ord to own property, start their own businesses and master their own destinies. However, he also remains deeply appreciative of tourism for giving him a livelihood, however modest, and seems genuinely fond of Australians.

    “After the bombing, no work for four years, no tourists, very bad, Mr Bron,” he says, shaking his head at the memory. The bombing continues to resonate deeply in this peaceful place.

    Madé’s hope is to buy his own vehicle—the Suzuki people-mover he’d ferried us around in sells for about 90 million rupiah ($9000). To him that’s 180 weeks of wages (equivalent to a $180,000 vehicle for an Australian on $1000 a week). It’s a mammoth goal, a life-changing undertaking for the price to us

    of a second-hand bomb.Enterprising, engaging, unfailingly

    accommodating, knowledgable and with very good English, resentful of but resigned to living with corruption and serving the rich while dining on scraps cast from our table, Madé sums up our fi rst Balinese experience.

    It’s an unsettling feeling to enjoy being here and taking advantage of the cheap eats, drinks and digs while knowing the Balinese are paying for it. But if I was honest with myself, if the place wasn’t so cheap I probably wouldn’t have booked the holiday. So am I part of the problem, the solution, or a bit of both?

    Clearly, tourism must continue but it’s my sincere hope that Australians stop seeing Bali as somewhere to screw down prices: Some Aussies seem to take perverse delight in competing to be the world’s best haggler and consider you an idiot if you pay 40,000 rupiah when you can pay just 35,000 (a diff erence of 50c).

    Instead, I hope we work to strengthen our bond with Bali, one that’s now forged in blood. There’s a deep aff ection for us here and we should nurture it by doing what we can to be generous in both deed and spirit.

    Tip generously and often. Don’t tip 10,000 rupiah when you can tip 50,000. Haggle ferociously but with good humour—and then invite them to keep the change. Go up to the gardeners, cooks and cleaners and thank them with a generous tip for the amazing job they do, as they’re so often overlooked. Be happy to pay more for hand-crafted jewellery, textiles and carvings. Appreciate the talent and time that went into them.

    Help nurture a new relationship between Australia and Bali. One that says we are a generous people, a good neighbour, and a better friend.

    Immerse yourself in the intoxicating fl avours of India at the Copper Chimney. This vibrant South Fremantle restaurant is a refl ection of all that is wonderful about the sub-continent - a rich melting pot of colour, culture and sublime food.

    The Copper Chimney is an eclectic blend of the traditional and the modern and it’s no happy accident. Owners and Chefs Elance Fernando and Kaushal Verma set out with a fi rm set of principles: to follow traditional cooking methods, use only the freshest produce and in doing so, help to restore Indian cuisine’s reputation as world class. They’re obviously onto a winning formula, nominated as a fi nalist in the 2013 Gold Plate Awards for best new restaurant.

    “We aim to lead the way. All our chicken is free-range and we carefully select the seafood from local and

    imported markets to ensure it is the best quality from sustainable fi sheries,” explained Elance.

    “We’ve discovered many people here are vegetarian, as they are in India, so we have an excellent selection of dishes,” he added.

    The Copper Chimney’s menu is always evolving and has just been changed for the fi fth time since the restaurant began. It’s a deliberate move to keep things fresh and exciting for diners.

    In a recent Herald food review, Jenny D’Anger was in seventh heaven after sampling the new menu: “I was hoping the food was as good as I remembered. It was even better. The table was soon groaning under the weight of beef madras, aloo methi, tandoori salmon, garlic naan and the biggest masala dosa I have ever seen! What can I say…every

    dish was superb!”If you just can’t decide, then the thali

    is the way to go. Designed to share, thali is the Indian version of a tasting plate, allowing you to sample lots of different items on the menu. Thali is available only in the lunch menu.

    Mother’s Day reservations are now being taken. Treat your mum to a touch of the exotic with a trip to Copper Chimney. She’ll love you even more for it!

    THE fi rst tenants of this home were tobacco twisters, turning dried leaves into coils of chewing tobacco.

    According to an 1879 newspaper article, then-sparsely populated WA “probably consumes as much tobacco as any of the other colonies”.

    The twisters worked for Fremantle tobacco merchant Henry Dixon who, along with businessman Lionel Holdsworth, are responsible for this amazing limestone abode in beautiful Knutsford Street.

    It started life as a couple of semi-detached workers’ cottages and, according to its WA heritage council pedigree, is a “fi ne example of Federation fi ligree”.

    The twisters’ neighbours were a couple of police sergeants based at the prison, just up the road. What stories these thick walls might tell.

    Over their more than 100-year history the two cottages were knocked about into one amazing home, no longer cottages but a mansion of sweeping proportions, sprawling across 607sqm.

    From the front verandah you gaze down into the heart of Fremantle and out to the ocean beyond: from an upper sitting room you enjoy views of the working port, no doubt less raucous and certainly less populous than it used to be, but still with plenty of interest to catch the eye.

    AT HOMEJENNY D’ANGERAAAAAAAJE

    The four-bedroom home has been beautifully renovated and restored, aged pine fl oors glow underfoot and there’s plenty of heritage features including fi replaces, ceiling roses, elegant sash windows and high skirting boards.

    You barely notice where old meets new, with banks of cedar doors and windows, lime-washed walls, and lovely, raked, timber ceilings in the modern semi-open–plan living/dining/kitchen.

    A massive old iron woodstove features in the rustic timbered-kitchen, but there’s nothing old fashioned here, with up-to-the minute appliances, plenty of storage, and a walk-in panty.

    Sets of French doors lead from the living and dining areas to a delightful, rambling garden, where green is everywhere, trees grow wild and bush poles hold up the second level balcony, which creates a lovely alfresco area, an ambient green room you’ll want to just sit in and while away some time.

    If you’re up for a stroll, brick paths beckon you to a series of nooks and crannies in the terraced garden where you can potter at will.

    Follow a thickly planted walkway and you’ll be rewarded with the discovery of a “secret cottage” at the rear.

    Covering three levels it’s a delightful mini-dwelling just right for a single or a couple with no kids. Your guests will adore you.

    Built to follow the slope of the block the ground fl oor kitchen/dining, and the second level living room, have walls of glass onto cute courtyard gardens.

    You could just about roll into Fremantle and its many and varied delights from this fantastic home: John Curtin College of the Arts is a short stroll away, as are both Fremantle and East Fremantle primaries.

    By HAYDEN GROVES REIWA Deputy

    President

    the agent is not to blame when the seller simply chooses to

    accept a better offer.

    These comments are the writer’s own and do not necessarily refl ect the current opinions and policies of the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia.

    In a market that favours the seller, it is commonplace for the Agent to write multiple offers for the one property. Obviously, only one of the buyers can be the purchaser.

    In these circumstances, the buyers who missed out are understandably disappointed and often seek to understand why their offer failed and what they might have done differently to enhance their chances of buying success next time.

    The answer partly lies in the agent’s fi duciary responsibility to act in the best interests of their principal – almost always the seller – and pitching buyers into competition almost always discharges this responsibility. It is the agent’s job to encourage multiple offers from different buyers and to inform them they are in competition without revealing to any of the buyers the details of another buyer’s offer.

    When in competition buyers often don’t believe the word of the agent and consider statements like, “There is another party who has submitted an offer so please be sure this is your best possible offer” are nothing more than sales spin and puffery.

    A further complication is the fear of paying too much. Buyers who have missed out will often lament, “but we would have paid more” after the fact despite insisting that “this is our best offer” at the time.

    Buyer Versus Buyer

    Buyers need to fully understand that a seller is under no obligation to deal with any offer on their property at all. Most do, of course, but the point here is just because your offer is submitted fi rst does not guarantee success. I recommend buyers ask the selling agent to inform them in the event another offer is submitted in case they wish to change their initial offer.

    Buyers also ought to ask the question if there is already an offer in play before writing their own as some agents will remain silent on the existence of multiple offers. Personally, I think this disadvantages the seller and confuses those buyers that missed out but even in these circumstances the agent is not to blame when the seller simply chooses to accept a better offer.

    I think agents need to be really clear to each buyer when they are competing and give all buyers an equal chance at submitting their best written offer. Buyers ought to take the agent at their word too and be prepared to miss out if they choose to hold back on submitting their best offer as often you only get one chance.

    I LIKE the way Maylands’ streets are numbered—it’s so easy to fi nd your way around.Having just crossed Eighth Avenue I

    knew I’d missed Seventh so it was easy to turn around and back-track to fi nd this lovely old home

    Late federation meets early art deco in this grand old dame where a stunning kookaburra-theme stained glass front door welcomes visitors.

    And gorgeous, double early deco lead-light doors lead off the expansive hall into a formal lounge.

    The purple colour-scheme of this commodious space may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it’s only paint: the highly ornate ceiling is as magnifi cent, and the timber fi replace is lovely.

    Double sash windows look out onto the garden, and brightly coloured parrots are frozen in time in the stained glass door leading to the wrap-around verandah.

    An ‘80s extension, with a beamed skillion roof-line, is looking a little dated, but it wouldn’t take much to bring it up to scratch.

    Smarten up the slate fl oor and put in some bifold doors onto the garden and you’re almost there.

    The spacious kitchen is also tired, but the bones are there for a modernising make-over with a lovely golden timber ceiling and warm, raw-brick walls. An island bench and a refi t of the old timber cupboards and Bob’s your uncle.

    The massive 1012sqm block almost dwarfs the spacious, three-bedroom home

    ESTATEJENNY D’ANGEREEEEEEJE

    so there’s plenty of scope for a stunning garden, maybe even a pool. What a diff erence it’d make for the relatively modest investment.

    Mature trees, including a soaring gum, make turning this place into a showpiece

    as easy as falling off a log, and a huge old lilac has the remains of a tree house I would have loved as a kid.

    The old brick garage has been converted into a studio and is ideal for a teenage pad or artist’s retreat. There’s no bathroom there but it would be easy to put one in.

    The Eighth Ave cafe/shopping strip is just up the road and the delightful Maylands river foreshore a short drive away.

    Or, head to nearby Guildford Road and you’re in the city in

    next to no time.22 Seventh Avenue, MaylandsEOIPaul Owen 0411 601 420Acton Mt Lawley 9272 2488

    WARNING: Don’t call any electrican until you read this

    Not all Electricians are the same... most contractors don’t turn up when they say, if at all & when they do they are often rude, unpleasant & leave you with an unfair bill, a messy

    house & feeling really annoyed.Hi, I’m Dave from “My Sparky”. I know good, reliable tradies are

    hard to fi nd, that’s why I guarantee you’ll have me arrive

    on time. I’ll be courteous, respectful & in uniform. I will

    only do the best quality work - no short cuts, then clean up after

    the job & leave you with a smile. If you’re not happy at the end

    you’ll receive $50 cash, on me.

    TESTIMONIALS“Very happy with Dave - on time,

    great.” Chris - South Fremantle“I am happy to recommend “My
