SARAH HARRISQUE SERA
What is it with these people? Are they soshort of dinner party conversation thatthree months alone at sea will improve
their company? Oh, do please seat me next toThierry. I nodded off after Day 32 last time.He’d just logged his 900,000th wave.
They are mainly French, these lost round-the-world yachtsmen and women, with the notableexception of the bothersome Tony Bullimore
This is because the French started the madnessthat is the Vendee Globe, the single-handed, non-stop, round-the-world yacht race.
Between 1995 and 1997 it cost Australian tax-payers $21 million to rescue just four of them:Isabelle Austissier, Thierry Dubois, RaphaelDinelli and Bullimore — all plucked from thebriny like human truffles. Now Alain Delord hasjoined their ranks. He hijacked the holidays of anentire cruise ship of passengers to save hisscrawny, uninsured neck. A miracle he called it.Sacre bleu, monsieur, get real!
Why do we tolerate this flotilla of bored oldsalts bobbing about in bespoke boats worthmore than the combined exports of the republicof Burundi when we so revile asylum seekersdriven to the water in genuine desperation toreach our shores?
Why rush to buy books about the yachties’futile flounderings, yet insist on locking uppeople who’ve real stories to tell?
Circumnavigating the globe? Correct me if ithasn’t already been done. There was that Span-ish bloke Magellan, for starters, and recentlyeven a 15-year-old Australian girl. But sixmonths non-stop, single-handed in a bathtub fullof burgundy and broken baguettes back home inBordeaux? Now that, my intrepid Frenchfriends, has not been done.

VCAT fees to ‘silence objectors’BY EUGENE BENSON
Nothing to celebrate: Critics of the decision to raise VCAT fees say it will make it far more difficult for residents to take on developers and win.
FEDERAL Wills MP Kelvin Thomson has gonepublic with scathing comments of the Victoriangovernment’s proposal to raise fees for peopleappealing cases at the Victorian Civil andAdministrative Tribunal.
Never backward in coming forward, theoutspoken MP said the cost rises would unfairlyhurt everyday residents by undermining access to,in the words of VCAT’s motto, ‘fair, efficientjustice for all Victorians’.
As reported in the Weekly, residents fighting adevelopment at VCAT will be forced to shell out$1007 by 2015 — a rise of $685.
From March, fees to lodge an objection areproposed to more than quadruple, from $322 to$1462, if the development being objected to fallsbetween $1million and $5million.
The tribunal is expected to collect an extra$22 million over the next three years fromproposed fee increases and new charges.
The cost of other appeals such as consumerclaims and tenancy disputes, including mediation,will jump to $300 a day.
In a submission to the state Department ofJustice, Mr Thomson said he believed the feeincrease proposals were ‘‘out of step’’ withcommunity expectations and would ‘‘play into thehands of property developers’’.
‘‘Property developers have the capacity to claim
VCAT expenses as a tax deduction, in the contextof their business dealings and operations.
‘‘Residents, on the other hand, have no capacityto claim any such expenses, despite the fact theyare likely to be much more affected by a develop-ment than the developers.’’
Friends of Steele Creek president Helenvan den Berg said she had never been at a VCAThearing which lasted less than three days.
‘‘This is being done to take away our voice andgive an advantage to developers.’’
Moonee Valley mayor Narelle Sharpe said thecouncil had yet to decide if it would make a formalsubmission on the proposed VCAT fee increases.
‘‘I am concerned that the price rises may preventresidents from objecting to developments.’’
RatingreviewedBY DAN MOSSState Parliament editor
THE public has been asked to decidewhether applying higher council rates tocertain businesses is equitable, andwhether the money achieves its intendedoutcome.
A discussion paper on differential rateswas released last week after Local Gov-ernment Minister Jeanette Powell wasgiven the power last year to remove coun-cils’ powers to charge some landownersextra. If a council applies differential ratesthat don’t conform with the guidelinesbeing discussed then the minister haspowers to stop them.
Moonee Valley Council has announcedit will investigate ways to bolster its rateincome over the next 12 months. Thiscould include the use of differential rates,which involves placing a higher rateburden on certain types of properties.
Moonee Valley ruled out following thelead of Darebin Council, which hasannounced it would explore placing ahigher rate differential on fast-food out-lets.
Moreland Council has put higher rateson electronic gaming venues and used theextra funds to pay for gambling help.
Darebin also charges landlords ofpokies venues more and charges ownersof vacant land more as an encouragementto develop.
Ms Powell said “several councils haveemployed significant creativity andstretched their differential rates powers topursue social policy objectives’’.
Two of the questions being asked in thediscussion paper relate to the equity ofcharging some businesses higher ratesthan others.
The paper also asks whether differen-tial rates are the best way to achieve acouncil’s desired outcome.

Fire threat ignites heated debate
Dry threat: MFB Deputy Chief Officer David Youssef and Assistant Commissioner Stephen Fontana address journalistsat the site of a deliberately lit fire in Kealba. Picture: Michael Copp
Keilor East residents whose homes werethreatened by a grass fire earlier this monthare angry with Parks Victoria, claiming
overgrown grass had not been cut in Maribyr-nong Valley parklands for more than two years.They reacted with cynicism to a letter theyreceived from Western Metropolitan Regionparliamentarian Andrew Elsbury congratulatingthe parks authority and the MFB for quicklycontaining the fire. The fire breaks, the politicianboasted, had proved effective. Good news, but itwas still necessary to evacuate a nursing home.
Mr Elsbury tells us to plan ahead and the MFBhas now sent residents fire safety material, twoweeks after the fire. Residents at Avondale
Heights Aged Care in North Road look out onto200 metres of high grass on the eastern river-banks. No fire breaks there. So if we are sensiblytold to plan ahead, so too should our authorities.
A toast to Aussie breakfastThe Essendon Lions Club staged its 20th ‘I LoveAustralia’ breakfast last Saturday, helping toimprove awareness of Aussie goods and servicesand to encourage pride in our country’s achieve-ments. An initiative of the late Stan Morrison, thisiconic event continues to attract strong communitysupport. Boundy’s Supermarkets was honouredwith the annual industry award — a fine choice ina competitive market, for a business which GeorgeBoundy began in Keilor Road 90 years ago. TheLions, with support from Strathmore CommunityBank, also acknowledged Michael Schepis, a mech-anic at Airport Toyota, as Apprentice of the Year.Despite a reduced membership, the EssendonLions, which began in 1953, continues to serve ourcommunity well.
Tea Gardens Gift not to be missedNext Saturday, the Avondale Heights Sporting clubwill attract professional athletes for the 3rd annual
Tea Gardens Gift at Canning Reserve. This hasbeen a great promotion by the club, with runnerscompeting for more than $10,000. Officiallyrecognised by the Victorian Athletic League, theGift will be run in a carnival atmosphere from1.30pm.
Work has been completed during the year on a
better running surface for competitors. The hard-working team of volunteers has established a fineevent to promote their club and Canning Reserve’sfine facilities. Worth a visit.
The final word . . .Age is a very high price to pay for maturity

Plan sketched outfor busy roadsA STRUCTURE plan for Union and Race-course roads is under development byMoonee Valley Council.
Union and Racecourse roads were nomin-ated by the Labor state government to be‘major activities areas’ and therefore a struc-ture plan was required as a planning tool todirect development.
For the structure plan, the council hasdeveloped urban design guidelines, whichprovide more detail about how buildingsshould look, and documentation that pro-poses to change the zone of each area to anActivity Centre Zone.
Planning portfolio councillor PaulGiuliano said having these documentsincluded or referenced in the Moonee Valleyplanning scheme was very important.
“Documents like structure plans havemore weight as decision-making tools if theyare referenced or included in the planningscheme.
“This helps the council to have morecontrol over how an area changes and ensure
future development is in line with our plans.“To have these documents in the planning
scheme we need to undertake a state govern-ment planning process called a planningscheme amendment.
Mayor Narelle Sharpe said one of the aimsof the structure plan would be to accommo-date some of Melbourne’s growing popula-tion.
‘‘These areas are good locations for hous-ing more people because of their proximity toservices, shops and transport.
“Melbourne will continue to grow and thestate government will continue to directsome of this growth into busy establishedinner urban areas, like the Union Road andRacecourse Road.’’
Residents can have their say on the theactivity centres by filling out a question-naire or joining the online conversationat haveyoursaymv.com.au/unionracecourse-rds-sp from 6.30-8pmon February 20. — Eugene Benson

Rail project to linkcycle, walk pathsBY EUGENE BENSON “The aim of the project is to
promote increased walkingand cycling for local trips’’
— Cr Narelle Sharpe
MOONEE Valley residents are being askedto suggest ways to provide easier pedestrianand cycle links between Essendon andNewmarket stations along the Craigieburnrail corridor.
With no designated path, cyclists musttravel on the ‘wrong side’ of one-way streetsalongside the rail line.
The council says this isn’t safe and makes itdifficult for pedestrians to cross busy roads,including Ascot Vale Road,
Moonee Valley mayor Narelle Sharpe saidmore people would walk and cycle if it wassafer and easier.
She said the Craigieburn rail line projectwould link with routes to the CBD andplanned routes along the Craigieburn railcorridor in Moreland and Hume.
“[The path] project was well supportedwhen the council consulted on its Walkingand Cycling Strategy, which was adopted inJune 2012.
“The aim of the project is to promoteincreased walking and cycling for local trips,including connecting up with publictransport,’’ Cr Sharpe said.
Plans are already in place to establishpedestrian and cyclist refuge islands —making it easier for people to cross busyroads — and to install signs and pram ramps.One-way streets will also be reconfigured.
Residents can have their say on the projectfrom February 4-28 via an online form atmvcc.vic.gov.au/crc or by emailingcomments to [email protected]
A ‘walkshop’ will start from Pin OakCrescent at Kent Street in Flemington from6-7pm, February 21, to help residents makelocation suggestions about the project.

Long gestation for bikepath, now ‘old dirt track’
Path delay: East Keilor residents Cleo, 5, and Mia, 3, walk along an accessible part ofthe track near Valley Lake Estate. Picture: Darren Howe
BY EUGENE BENSON ‘It [bike path] needs tobe completed. Plenty ofresidents would use itand with school startingback there needs to besafe access for studentsto ride to school.’
— Helen van den Berg
NIDDRIE and East Keilor residentsare heaping pressure on Places Vic-toria to make good on its promise todeliver an upgraded bike path betweenValley Lake estate and Spring GullyReserve.
When Places Victoria was calledVicUrban under the former stategovernment, the latter made acommitment to ensure an incompletebike path between the two pointswould be finished when major infra-structure works were undertaken.
Friends of Steele Creek presidentHelen van den Berg said the originalagreement with residents and stake-holders was to revegetate the banks ofSteele Creek and ensure a safe bikepath was built away from the floodplain.
Mrs van den Berg said she suspectedPlaces Victoria had planned to
construct the path within the ‘‘one inone-hundred-year’’ flood line and hadthen had to reconfigure its plans whenit realised the mistake. ‘‘If they hadconsulted first they would have knownthat the place to build it is where theexisting track is. It’s currently over-grown and just an old dirt track.
‘‘It needs to be completed. Plenty ofresidents would use it and with school
starting back there needs to be safeaccess for students to ride to school.’’
Places Victoria’s metropolitanprecincts general manager SebastianCatalfamo said that during the processof developing the landscape masterplan for the bike path, the widercommunity had been consulted
“From the outset of the construc-tion of the shared path network,Places Victoria has not confirmedexact completion dates as this is deter-mined by the rate of development andthe market. But, to date, plans havebeen developed and will be submittedfor all required approvals in February2013, with works anticipated to betendered around early spring 2013.”
‘‘Places Victoria has completed95 per cent of the shared path networkaround the Valley Lake community,which has been completed in stagesand in accordance with statutoryapprovals,’’ Mr Catalfamo said.

Avondale Heights resident’s dedication to her art of embroidery
Embroidery pioneer Lesley Uren dubiouslyadmits to having stitched 648 pieces.‘‘That’s what’s recorded. I’ve done more
than that.’’Ms Uren, of Avondale Heights, was last week-
end the recipient of an Order of Australia Medal(OAM) in the Australia Day awards.
The 73-year-old was a founding member of theEmbroiderers Guild of Victoria in 1960. Shehoned her skills to become an expert in metalthread work. ‘‘It was a complete surprise,’’ shesays of the letter notifying her of the honour.
‘‘I’m really humbled by it because there are somany others who really do magnificent work andothers who fight for embroidery.’’
By ‘‘fighting’’, Ms Uren is referring to accept-ance, which she says is a cause she’s still tackling.
She says embroidery is recognised as an art inmost countries, but in Australia galleries arereluctant to give it credence. ‘‘It is art,’’ she saysdefiantly. ‘‘It’s creative. It’s not using a pattern orgoing out and buying a kit. It’s not using a fabricthat you buy in a fabric shop and using those
patterns to make other patterns. It’s somethingthat’s entirely creative and individual.’’
Ms Uren’s passion for embroidery began inchildhood, and it’s never left her.
‘‘I always wanted to embroider. Since I wasfour I can remember stitching. I don’t know whyas there was no background and I lived in a tinycountry town, on a farm.
‘‘But that was something I wanted to do mywhole life.’’
Ms Uren helped form the Embroiderers Guildof Victoria with a group of like-minded womenin 1960.
She had met them the year before while study-ing at Teachers College, and she attended anembroidery exhibition at Melbourne University.
In her 20s she took a year off from teachingand travelled to Europe, spending six weeksundertaking classes with the best metal threadworker in the world.
Uren worked as a teacher in technical schoolsacross Victoria during her career with embroid-ery, delivering her a creative outlet and hobby.

enhances our social fabric, writes Robert Fedele
She has exhibited in most states and inter-nationally, with her pieces in collections acrossEurope and Africa.
Ms Uren specialises in large hangings of goldand silver metal thread work and most of herwork interprets Australian sea life and wildlife.
The walls of her home are adorned with stun-ning pieces, among them a phoenix rising fromthe ashes created in the aftermath of AshWednesday and a lobster she bought at Anglesea,photographed, sketched . . . then ate.
Some of her pieces can take up to 400 hours tocomplete.
Ms Uren obliges with a handful of commis-sioned work, but for the most part her creationsare purely for her own enjoyment.
‘‘I could easily sell. But I don’t do it to sell; I doit because I love it.
‘‘I love texture and I love 3D. Even if it’s ashallow 3D you get shadows.’’
Ms Uren says embroidery is beginning to getthe recognition it deserves after years of peoplechampioning the cause.
She points to the fact Box Hill TAFE nowoffers a three-year course in embroidery as evid-ence of longed-for acceptance and a brightfuture.
‘‘I want it to continue to be bright and I’ll pushfor it as long as I’m able to.’’

Sally Sutton is a clothing whisperer. Walking from rack to rack in her vintage-wear store, Sutton can pull out piece after piece and recount stories about their past and how they found their way
from far-fl ung corners of the globe to a much-cherished Seddon corner store.
Where some may see a pretty frock, a ruffl ed blouse or a demure negligee, Sutton teases out an enthralling life story.
Diamond Dog Vintage is a Seddon institution, a place where the hopes and dreams of the past have been lovingly preserved in a multi-fabric bubble of nostalgia.
The window display is an ever-changing spectacle of vintage fi nds, in keeping with the timeless feel of the surrounding neighbourhood.
While the seemingly endless array of ’40s, ’50s, ’60s and ’70s clothing may appear to have come together effortlessly, the truth is far less glamorous than some of the evening wear on show.
Sutton spends countless hours hunting worldwide, often up until the early hours writing back and forth with people across the globe as she tracks down each unique piece.
‘‘My original idea was to have just Australian clothing. I was forever looking for the true Australian dress, but there’s so little of it now left,’’ Sutton says. ‘‘Because Australia was such a tiny country, we don’t have much vintage. So I’ve had to spread my wings. I buy now from all over the place. Because I lived in LA for years and did vintage there, I buy a lot from LA and Boston ... I want to get things that are out of the ordinary and fi nd them a good home.’’
This labour of love has the Williamstown resident hooked. While she wasn’t the fi rst to run the store she has worked to put her own stamp on it. This includes carefully curating Australia’s largest collection of vintage swimming costumes.
‘‘It was fi rst opened 22 years ago by this incredible women, a mad Londoner, a very tiny and dynamic woman who would go back to England and bring things back over. I shopped here for years and years and years. I loved the vintage clothes here, just loved it. I’ve come in and taken it to where I wanted it to be, which is beautiful 1940s, ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.’’
Sutton loves the fact the clothing arrives with its own
personality and character. She says every piece has a history she can’t help but dig out.
While she explains this, a customer is eyeing off a Hawaiian dress in the window display. The woman asks about trying it on but is gently deterred by Sutton who suggests she returns later that evening. Sutton later admits not being ready to farewell the dress, a recent arrival. Some pieces are more diffi cult to let go than others.
‘‘I bought some beautiful see-through blouses from the 1940s and ’50s. Fashion of that era was the sexiest fashion because they embraced the body and they knew how to show off, like Grace Kelly, those beautiful angles.
‘‘I found them [the blouses] in Miami. The woman wrote and said her mother escaped the holocaust, came to Melbourne, bought the blouses in Melbourne, went to live in Miami and in New York and now they’re coming back here. She said her mother would be chuffed to know that. And I love that, I love that kind of intimacy that they bring.’’
For Sutton the pieces speak of a time when subtlety and suggestion reigned. Communication, especially between the sexes, was as much about what was left unsaid.
Seddon fl oriographer Christie McIntosh is equally taken by this history of unspoken communication.
Her passion lies further in the past than Sutton’s, tracing back to the Victorian era of the 19th century.
McIntosh is bringing back the all-but-forgotten language of fl owers, one bloom at a time.
She explains that each fl ower and colour contains its own meanings, enabling a range of expressions to be wordlessly conveyed in a specially crafted bouquet.
‘‘Floriography is the art of expression through the language of fl owers. It is all about bringing back this ancient, secret language from the late 1800s.’’
Operating from a home studio in Seddon, McIntosh is turning her personal love affair with fl owers into an artform that can be shared.
‘‘I have had a lifetime passion for fl owers, but professionally it has been about a year since I began the business. I just love going to the fl ower markets, looking around and picking up fresh stock. It has most likely come from my mother and being around when she has been making arrangements and tending the garden when I was young.’’
The passion further bloomed when McIntosh discovered an old book about the meaning of fl owers, hidden away in a secondhand bookstore.
‘‘It seemed like such a beautiful sentiment. I recall thinking this is such a beautiful way to say thank you or to send a message,’’ McIntosh says.
She is attracted by the generosity of the gesture as well as the care taken to express thoughts and feelings in such a creative fashion.
‘‘When someone receives my fl owers and understands how they have been selected and put together, I think
they look more closely at what they have received and think about each fl ower, trying to understand what the sender is trying to say - what the secret message might be.’’
Special dictionaries were developed to explaining these nuanced meanings and the further McIntosh researches, the more she has become intrigued by the depth of this lost language.
‘‘I am continually learning and refi ning my lists. I fi nd you learn something better if you learn why something means what it does, so I’m looking as much as I can into that background.’’
While some of the meanings may seem arbitrary, others appear to relate directly to attributes or behaviours of the fl ower.
McIntosh says fl owers that may be persistent growers in diffi cult conditions might come to represent attributes such as courage or perseverance.
‘‘Sunfl owers represent loyalty, which could refl ect the way they turn their heads to always follow the sun. But then there are others, such as the cabbage which represents profi t, which aren’t quite as clear as to how they took on that meaning.’’
Proteas are a special favourite of McIntosh, representing strength and courage. “I also love all of the summer fl owers. Peonies are another favourite, they are a way to wish a long and happy marriage. And for fl owers that represent gratitude, molucella are wonderful - they are a beautiful, strange green.’’
Queen Victoria was a passionate devotee of the language of fl owers, sparking a wider interest and understanding of the art during her reign. But by the early 1900s it had become diluted and soon the language was all but lost.
‘‘New fads came along and it fell out of style,’’ McIntosh says.
But she believes there has been a resurgence in interest, as people look for greater meaning and connection with the world around them and one another.
Swing dancing instructor Steve Hartshorne has seen the same resurgence in people’s curiosity about lost ‘golden eras’ such as the jazz age.
The popularity of weekly swing dance sessions he and his wife Laura hold at Newport RSL are testament to the strength of the scene in Melbourne, especially in the western suburbs.
‘‘My wife and I have been swing dancing for 11 years. We just had an interest in jazz and every time we went out and saw a band and saw people dancing we thought it looked like a lot of fun,’’ Hartshorne says.
The Hoppers Crossing pair decided to throw themselves into the scene, discovering they weren’t the only ones being enticed.
‘‘Melbourne actually has the largest [swing dance] scene outside the US - we found out by turning up to a ball and there were 800 dancers.’’
Beneath the fast pace and trappings of modern life lie cherished threads that link us with a colourful past. Benjamin Millar meets those keeping this rich history alive in Melbourne’s west

As well as the musical and social elements, there is an aesthetic and celebration of the style of the day.
‘‘We all love getting dressed up in vintage ’40s gear for heading out, that side of it is certainly a big part of it’’ Hartshorne says.
He credits the strength of Melbourne’s live music scene with underpinning the swing dance revival.
‘‘I think it comes from having some of the greatest jazz musicians and big bands in the world right here in Melbourne. Once you get involved in the music, it’s just a natural progression towards swing dance.’’
While there is strong interest from all over the city, Hartshorne believes the strongest interest is in the western suburbs.
‘‘There is something about this area. It still has a lot of the older-style houses in the neighbourhoods and also the older-style venues. There is nothing better than having all these people dressed up in original vintage gear to go to these original venues to hear this original music.’’
Hartshorne has taught students aged from their mid-teens through to their late 60s, with many people inspired to learn after seeing people swing dancing at a music festival or to a jazz band.
‘‘Partner dancing is a bit of a lost art - people still go out dancing but it’s more about dancing by themselves, even if they are with other people. This brings that partner dancing back.’’ �

INBRIEF
Citizens given an Aussie welcomeMoonee Valley joined towns and regions
across the nation in welcoming its newest
citizens as part of Australia Day 2013
celebrations. About 140 people from 41
countries officially became Australian citizens
in a special ceremony at the Clocktower
Centre in Moonee Ponds. Spirit of Moonee
Valley citizen of the year Peter Cribb was
named Australia Day citizen for 2013 and
presented with a certificate by Australia Day
ambassador Jane Edmanson OAM. Following
the ceremony, guests enjoyed an Aussie
barbecue lunch, with entertainment by
indigenous dancers and Bush Remnants — a
four-piece bush band.
School’s shady sport spotKeilor East Community Bank has donated

THE Moonee Valley Community Choir is in recruiting mode with an eye, and ear, on the coming
Moonee Valley festival. As an event-based choir, the volunteer group has a fluid membership that
ebbs and flows during the year depending on the events scheduled. Choir leader Megan Stapleton
(pictured centre, with other choir members) says there will be three rehearsals before the February 24
festival and anyone who attends at least two qualifies for the festival performance. She says the choir
welcomes all ages and abilities, though members under 10 need to be accompanied by an older
sibling or parent. The community choir will sing two songs on the main stage at the
festival.Rehearsals will be held at the Bradshaw Street Hall in Essendon. More details: 0402 597 724

Budget-friendly: Wonderbao’s steamed buns will have you going back for more.Picture: Eddie Jim
When you look for Wonderbao,don’t give up if at first youdon’t succeed. It’s a tiny shop
at the end of a small arcade offA’Beckett Street in the city and it canbe tricky to locate initially.
There’s another entrance down analleyway, Literature Lane.
Tucked in behind the city campus ofRMIT, Wonderbao specialises in bao,steamed bready buns with a variety offillings that sell at a very reasonableprice and feed many of the studentsand workers in the area.
The restaurant opened last August
and with its bench seating along thefront window and milk crates in thelaneway outside to perch on if inside isfull, it has quickly gained a solidfollowing.
Order at the counter (where you’llsee enormous steam baskets in whichthe bao cook) from a short menu thatfeatures buns such as choi bao ($2each with mushrooms, tofu andvegetables) or nai wong bao ($1.70each with egg custard).
The friendly staff will soon bringyou your order.
These fluffy buns are filling, so
order two or three to start with,depending on your appetite, and takeit from there.
The char siu bao ($2) — you may
have heard these referred to simply assteamed pork buns — are served in arecycled cardboard container.
The bao are hot and very fresh.
The shredded pork meat has asubtle sweetness to it, it’s delicious.Other bao fillings consist of deliciouschinese sausage.
The chicken bao is dense with mincechicken meat filling and big chunks ofshiitake mushroom.
The other section of the small menuincludes gua bao, like a sandwichwhere the same style of bread wrapsaround the fillings.
The roast pork belly gua bao($3.80) was one to fight over. Its well-cooked tender pork belly was dressedwith pickled carrot, cucumber andhoisin sauce.
As was the fried silky tofu gua bao($3.80), which was sweet and saltywith pickled mustard, sweet soy andcrushed peanuts.
Drinks are limited to juices or theirhousemade soy milk, but they matchthe food well.
So seek out Wonderbao, and don’tgive up.
It’s well worth the effort.

The pockets of Melbourne lucky enough to have many residents from different countries in Africa are
discovering the joys of that continent’s cuisine in all its diversity. Many African restaurants are now getting rave reviews from food critics and diners are embracing the often pared-back dining settings with their distinctive warmth and charm.But with such a large variety of food eaten throughout Africa’s diverse nations, it’s worth knowing what you’re in for before visiting a restaurant. If you’re eating at a North African restaurant — think Morocco, Algeria and Egypt — you may have couscous as part of your meal as this is the main diet staple. Spices such as saffron, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and cloves may also be incorporated into the dishes.When visiting a Central African restaurant, with food from Rwanda, Chad and the Democratic Republic of Congo, dishes may contain plantain (member of the banana family) and cassava (starchy vegetable,
resembles potato), the main ingredients for these areas.An East African restaurant, incorporating recipes from Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya, will major on grains and vegetables. Dishes such as ugali — a starchy, corn-based paste, similar to polenta — is often served with soups and stews. In West African restaurants, representing countries like Ghana, Mauritania and Mali, hot spices are popular. They may be used to fl avour yams and cassava. Seafood is eaten often and a common drink is palm wine, made from fermented palm sap which can be sweet or sour.In South Africa, places like Nambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe, fruits such as papaya, mango and banana are common, and game meat and seafood are also popular.If you’re yet to embrace the foodie heartbeat of Africa, do yourself a favour, spice up your life and get the whole family together to experience something special.

Romanceof danceBY REBECCA MILLER
Latin moves:There’s more to
latin dancingthan the tango
and salsa.
Latin dancing, whether it be salsa, tango orthe cha cha is as much about the romance ofthe dance and feeling the rhythm than about
the steps.When you think about latin dance it’s often
well-known ones such as the samba and rumbathat spring to mind, but there are many others.Have you heard about the . . .■ Bachata — a dance originating in the Domin-ican Republic, named after Bachata guitar music.Dancers move side to side in a four-beat pattern;three steps to the side followed by a pause.■ Capoeira — (cap-oh-ay-ra) a Brazilian martialart combining dance with music, known forquick and complex moves using power, speedand leverage for dramatic leg sweeps.■ Lambada — synonymous with Brazilian andCaribbean culture, it’s believed to be influencedby the samba, merengue, rumba and maxixe. It’sa partnered latin dance with a quick-slow rhythm
through a wave-like motion of dancers’ bodies.■ Cumbia — originating in Columbia, this is abridge between samba and salsa, and oftendanced in a circular motion to flutes, maracasand African drums.■ Danza — a Puerto Rican ballroom dancesimilar to the waltz, performed in a squarepattern to instrumental music.■ Paso Doble — means ‘two-step’ in Spanish,and is a lively march-like dance, representing abull fight where the male takes the matador (bullfighter) role and the female plays his cape.

M uch more than just a pretty face, this Hawthorn-brick beauty in Kensington cleverly packagesluxury and sustainability in a statement of style.
Originally a wheat master’s residence in the KimptonEstate, the double-fronted delight of 25 squares now seam-lessly combines its rich past with an exciting, hassle-freefuture exemplified by its Control4 home automation.
But the emphasis on quality in its imaginative design iswhat sets apart this charming abode from the rest.
Inside is an arched hall with Mafi floorboards, off whichare four double bedrooms. The main includes walk-inrobes and an ensuite with Kohler steam shower, twin-basin vanity, toilet and Chromatherapy lighting.
At the end of the hall is a marble bathroom, resplendentwith corner shower, twin hand basins and an outlook tothe herb wall by Joost Bakker. The decorative wall is partof a children’s play area and urban orchard.
Steps descend into the full-width rear extension.The dining room and showpiece kitchen both open
through stackable doors to one of three Jack Merlo out-door rooms. To the left outside is the office with book-shelf and a third bathroom and laundry. But on the otherside of the backyard is a bluestone-paved area shaded by aphoenix palm and complemented by a barbecue kitchenwith bread/pizza oven. Beyond that lies the self-cleaninglap pool (solar and gas heated), which incorporates a rockwater feature and frameless-glass fence.
Back inside, and the Poggenpohl-Miele kitchen has beendesigned by one of Australia’s finest chefs. It integratesstainless-steel appliances (twin ovens, single gas wokburner, induction cook-top and charcoal grill), overheadand under-bench display cabinets, Miele MasterCool(wine fridge, integrated freezer, two ice-making dis-pensers and filtered water) and canopy range hood.
To the right of the kitchen is the living room, which hasa feature fireplace and opens on its southern side to aJapanese pond, while a spiral staircase ascends to theabove-garage vegetable garden with city views. The pondis also accessible from the double garage. The house isclose to Kensington Village shops and cafes, and the train.

Tough fight on cardsfor Coburg DistrictsBY TEO PELLIZZERI
ESSENDON District Football League’s new boysCoburg Districts will start life in their new sur-rounds with arguably the toughest opponent indivision 2 after getting Hillside in the fixturereleased last week.
The high-profile debuts of the new-look Hill-side team are sure to attract a large crowd inround one as the former Western Region Foot-ball League outfit returns to the EDFL.
The Sharks have bolstered the team that lostlast season’s division 2 preliminary final with atrio of former Bulldogs signings, Steve Kolyniukas coach, and Ryan Hargrave and Mitch Hahn asplayers.
East Sunbury will start life in the EDFL athome in round one (April 13) with a matchagainst Keilor Park.
The former Riddell District Football Leaguejunior club will field a senior team for the firsttime in a competitive match in the round onefixture.
President Peter Methven said the pre-seasonhad looked good pre-Christmas under coachCasey Whelan.
‘‘We had quite a few numbers, more than 40on the track,’’ he said.
‘‘That first day is going to be a big one for theclub.
‘‘With the way we finished the year last year
we can be proud of what the club achieved in ourfirst year of EDFL [juniors], but now we have tolift for the challenge of senior football.’’
Reigning division 2 premier East Keilor willstart the season against Roxburgh Park. TheCougars won the grand final after the old B gradesplit into division 1 and division 2 last year butthere was no end-of-season promotion or relega-tion between divisions.
Jacana hosts Moonee Valley in the other roundone division 2 fixture.
Division 1 new boys Craigieburn will starttheir quest for redemption at home againstTaylors Lakes.
The Eagles were relegated from Premier with awinless season last year while Taylors Lakes lostto Airport West in the division 1 preliminaryfinal.

Westmeadows plays Hadfield in the otheropening-round fixture.
Division 2 finals will be played on Saturdaysstarting August 24 and finishing with the grandfinal on September 7, while division 1 finals willbe played on Sundays starting August 25 with thegrand final on September 8.
The Premier division fixture is expected to bereleased soon.

INBRIEF
Premier CricketEssendon made a fast start defending 200 against
Carlton but couldn’t stop former NSW
wicketkeeper Nathan Pilon as the Blues won by
four wickets on Saturday. Daniel Slevison (3-46)
struck twice early to have Carlton in trouble at 2-4,
but Lachlan McKenna (67) steadied the Blues
before being joined at the crease at 3-49 by Pilon.
Pilon made 91 in a 146-run stand with McKenna,
with a late Essendon double-strike failing to rattle
the tailenders. The Bombers face Melbourne next
in a two-dayer starting this weekend.
