In our cover story we talk with country muso
Troy Cassar-Daley whose ninth studio album and
national tour takes his music career full circle.
Nigerian-born actor Hakeem Kae-Kazim, of
Pirates of the Caribbean fame, reveals the
rollercoaster ride of life in the movie business.
Travel takes us to the vibrant Peel region of
Western Australia, the oft-overlooked festival
state of South Australia and offers up some
inviting overseas destinations if escaping the
Aussie winter is on your agenda.
Commando Steve Willis introduces us to his new
nutrition and exercise regime, and for some less
strenuous makeover options we delve into the
increasingly popular realm of manscaping.
As we hang on to the last strands of warm
weather, we look at preparing your backyard for
entertaining during the cooler months and serve
up outdoor cooking options – pig on a spit, yum!
For an investment opportunity a little offbeat
but on track, greyhound racing offers a
welcoming social scene as well as, hopefully,
lining your pockets with some reddies.
We have great prizes up for grabs including a
holiday getaway to glorious Kalbarri, where the
rugged outback meets the Indian Ocean.

AS A SCHOOL KID
GROWING UP ON NEW
SOUTH WALES’ NORTH
COAST AND WORKING
ON A PROJECT
ABOUT CHARLES
PERKINS AND THE
1965 FREEDOM RIDE,
TROY CASSAR-DALEY
COULD NEVER HAVE
IMAGINED DECADES
LATER IT WOULD
PROVIDE HIM WITH
INSPIRATION FOR HIS
NINTH STUDIO ALBUM.
BY KIRSTEN HYAM
“I
t was bizarre how it came full circle for me,”
the country crooner says.
“While I was getting the tracks recorded in
Nashville, I sang the song and thought to myself,
freedom’s a very broad word for Australia right
now and in any decade and it’s a powerful word;
why not lead the album out with a powerful word
like freedom because we all strive for that.”
With more than two decades in the music
industry under his belt, Troy has amassed
numerous ARIA and APRA awards, 26 Golden
Guitars, reached gold and platinum records and
gained legions of fans, and he has no intention of
slowing down.
This month Troy celebrates a new national tour to
coincide with the release of Freedom Ride, made
most enjoyable due to the lengthy process of
writing the album.
“This was a great, fun record to write because
I’ve had time to write it,” the indigenous singersongwriter says.
“I think sometimes we make the mistake of
rushing things together and trying to do your best
and then you’re not really happy with it. I don’t
believe in putting out an album a year. I think people
deserve a bit more quality than quantity.”
Taking two years to write, Troy enlisted other
classic country vocalists including Paul Kelly, Colin
Buchanan and Pete Denahy.
“Collaborating with people is something I dearly,
dearly love,” he says. “I’m very lucky to have these
fellas and call them friends. They are people I love
to hang with and these friends are there forever,
that’s the best part.”
Working on the album, Troy found his musical
talents extended to the fly-in, fly-out world,
following a plane trip from WA’s mining region.
Striking up a conversation with a FIFO worker
delivered the blue-collar anthem Two weeks on,
two weeks off.
“It was a fascinating conversation,” Troy says. “I
didn’t think of the heartache it causes them when
they’re away and their families when they’re stuck
at home without them. It’s a tough call adjusting
to that and I wanted to write about it.”
The humble musician says it was amazing working
on the duet with iconic Aussie rocker Jimmy Barnes.
“To me it sounded like quite a reasonable song
before Jimmy sang on it and then he blew it out
of the water for me,” he says. “It made me feel
like getting rid of my vocals and leaving Jimmy’s
on there!
“I’ve always seen Jimmy as being very blue collar
and when I put a sprinkling of that Cold Chisel
voice on there, it just completed the picture,
which I really enjoyed.”
3
While he doesn’t quite have that same roster,
Troy can relate to the FIFO lifestyle, being away
from his family while on tour. At home however,
when it comes to family singalongs, he can still
experience what every typical dad goes through.

DESTINATION
“We never play my stuff, it’s not cool enough to
play my stuff,” Troy laughs.
“They’ll want to play a Ryan Adams song or they’ll
find something quirky or Jem (his daughter) will find
something on the net she quite likes, like a Birdy
song or an Adele song and I can strum along to all
that good music. I love the way they introduce me
to new artists as well, which is great.”
While he’s spent time living and working in
Nashville, the world-renowned capital of country
music, Troy admits there’s no better place than
being right at home.
“Australia is the greatest country because of the
people. I think people have known this country is
amazing for many, many years. I love every corner
of where I get to go on tour and I’m very lucky
to do it, but the people I meet and the fondness
they have for music and what I do is something
that always humbles me,” he says.
“And you know what, Australia has a definitive
smell. I don’t know whether it’s the eucalyptus
trees, but over in the States when we were living
there, we’d walk around this big park and there
were all these blooming flowers and my wife said
‘it doesn’t smell like home’ and I said ‘no it doesn’t’.

“There’s something not right about walking out into
the bush and not smelling gum trees or whatever
our smell is here that makes it uniquely home.”
The consummate professional, Troy consistently
works on perfecting the art of his music.
“I think the craft of songwriting is something
we should all be trying to better ourselves at as
musos. I think it should be a journey,” he says.
“You’ve got to be hard on yourself and not think
you’ve peaked yet. I’m going to try to be like a
bottle of Grange. Hopefully I’ll still be going okay in
20 years and someone will bother to open me up.”
For now, Troy is more than content to continue
doing what he loves best. The epitome of a
typical country larrikin, he has no desire to give up
his passion just yet.
“I’d hate to traumatise an audience by falling over
dead on stage but that’s pretty well my retirement
plan,” he says.
“I’d love to be able to continue driving around or
get on a plane or drag a caravan round and round
for a bit and still play guitar and sing.”
Troy kicks off his Freedom Ride tour at CMC
Rocks, the nation’s biggest international country
and roots festival, in Queensland.

TIME’S A
CHARM
I
t’s the year for much anticipated seventh
instalments of blockbuster franchises and it’s
kicking off with Furious 7.
Critics are already suggesting the film could
be the biggest hit to come out of the action
franchise so far.
But fans of The Fast and the Furious saga are
most eagerly waiting to watch their hero Paul
Walker, who died in a fiery car crash in 2013, on
the big screen for the final time.
His death forced filmmakers to finish his scenes
without him through the use of CGI and body
doubles, including his brothers Caleb and Cody.
It is believed Walker’s character Brian O’Connor
will be retired rather than killed off in the seventh
film. Whether this is to keep a window open for
the series to continue remains to be seen.
James Wan (The Conjuring and Saw) takes the
director’s seat, with a cast of returning stars led
by Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson.
The new instalment sees Ian Shaw (Jason
Statham) on the hunt for Dominic Toretto (Vin
Diesel) as he seeks revenge for the death of his
brother at the end of Fast and Furious 6 and the
crew will also lose one of their own.
Furious 7 hits cinemas on April 2.

Playing It My Way:
My Autobiography
Author: Sachin Tendulkar
Publisher: Hachette Australia
RRP: $29.99
Avicii
Above and Beyond
The Days/Nights
We Are All We Need
While radio stations have been blasting Avicii’s
The Days single for several months, it took a lot
longer for The Nights to hit the airwaves.
Taken from new album We Are All We
Need, the single All Over the World was the
standout anthem from the trio’s sold out
Madison Square Garden set late last year.
Sachin Tendulkar is the most celebrated Indian
cricketer of all time and the greatest run-scorer
the game has ever seen. So undoubtedly
this was going to be the most anticipated
autobiography in the history of cricket.
In addition to All Over the World, the
band’s new album features several songs
in collaboration with singer-songwriter
Alex Vargas.
Tendulkar tells his remarkable story from his
first Test cap at the age of 16 to his 100th
international century and the emotional final
farewell that brought his country to a standstill.
Debuting at number 12 on the UK Albums
Chart, We Are All We Need has become the
group’s highest charting album.
He bares his soul on the frustrations and failures
he experienced from injuries and early World
Cup exits to stinging criticism from the press,
especially during his unhappy tenure as captain
for India. Yet fans of Tendulkar and the game of
cricket will find his autobiography falls short.
Granted The Nights has a lot less substance
than its daytime counterpart but it has that
distinctive Avicii dance anthem flair that so
many have come to love to obsession.
In this newest EP Avicii continues to grow his
unique sound that has seen the Swedish DJ sell
more than two million tracks in Australia.
The Days/Nights includes four tracks, two
original compositions and two remixes from
Swedish producer Henrik B and German
producer Felix Jaehn.
It’s the fourth studio album by the British
trance group and the first to feature new
material since Group Therapy in 2011.

Publisher: 2K Games
Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One,
Microsoft Windows
RRP: $67.99 (PS4); $49.99 (PC); $67.99 (Xbox)
From the same creators as Left 4 Dead comes
the next generation of multiplayer combat
between man and beast. With the advent of
Evolve from Turtle Rock Studios, gamers are
invited into a world of adrenaline-pumping
first-person warfare against a new set of
monsters. In the game, four hunters face off
against a single, player-controlled monster in a
4-on-1 match, the ultimate test of human will.
As a human, you are given the choice of four
hunter classes, which include assault, trapper,
medic and support. Within each class, you will
also choose your character, each with their
own strengths, weapons and weaknesses.
This game is a true test of the human spirit
and will have you working together with your
friends to take down this mighty beast on the
dystopian planet Shear, where flora and fauna
have turned on man and monster alike.
Playing as the monster offers gamers a new
experience, testing the skill of the most
able gamers, taking on four humans. Use
your buried pre-historic savage abilities and
animalistic senses to kill the humans. Just as
animals leave tracks in real life, so too do they
leave tracks in this game so be careful and try
to throw the hunters off your track.
Levelling up will unlock new skills for hunters
and monsters alike. The entire purpose of the
game is to earn infamy on the planet Shear and
become the most celebrated predator. It’s time
to join the hunt.
The darkest chapter in Indian cricket, match
fixing, was hardly mentioned and there was no
satisfactory explanation of his decision to quit
One-day International Cricket. More openness
would have given fans a greater insight into the
cricket legend behind the headlines and records.

t’s a case of art imitating life for Black Sails
actor Hakeem Kae-Kazim, who’s spent almost
as much time crossing oceans as his on-screen
persona, former slave-turned-pirate Mr Scott.
The Nigerian-born actor, known for his
involvement in Hotel Rwanda, Pirates of the
Caribbean: At World’s End and X-Men Origins:
Wolverine, divides his time between the UK,
South Africa and his current home in Los Angeles.
Hakeem speaks on the line from South Africa,
where he’s currently at work on the third season
of the successful adventure drama, about his
latest exploits.
“Black Sails is all about pirates in the 16th and 17th
century. It’s about the ins and outs of that whole
world during that period, but is mainly focused on
pirates and their relationship to each other and
their relationship to the empire,” he says.
“It’s an intense little show. It’s not like your Pirates
of the Caribbean; it’s a lot more raw (there’s a lot
more sex and violence) and intriguing, it’s a really
interesting and powerful show.”
Hakeem plays Mr Scott, whom he describes as
“the moral backbone of the show”. In preparation
for the role Hakeem undertook his own research
into the world of pirates, drawing inspiration from
key figures of the time.
“I took a lot of hints from a character called Black
Caesar, who was a prolific pirate at the time who
actually worked with Blackbeard. He was a former
African chief who was kidnapped off the west
coast of Africa,” he says.

Hakeem first journeyed abroad at the tender age
of one to Britain where he eventually trained as a
actor before heading to South Africa for the first
time for a friend’s wedding.
“I met an agent from South Africa who phoned
me about a month after the wedding, just before
I was about to come back, and asked me to come
in and do an audition for a commercial. I did and I
got the job and then left to go to America for the
first time,” he says.
“Then I got a call about a month later saying come
back and do some more of these commercials
for us. When I came back I was sort of mobbed
at the airport; these commercials had gone mad
so I ended up staying and working…and then 10, 15
years went by.”
When he finally managed to leave his busy life
in South Africa behind and head for the big city
lights of LA there was no rest; Hakeem was quickly
snapped up for a role in Pirates of the Caribbean:
At World’s End.
Since then he’s been in between the US and Africa
more times than he can count on a “rollercoaster
ride being an actor”, but as thrilling as it is, Hakeem
says the lifestyle is not without its challenges.
“When people ask me where I’m from I always
find that a difficult question because I was born
in one place, lived in several other places for many
years and have a really deep connection to these
places,” he says.
“I always say I’m from the world because it’s lovely
to have a connection with many places but it’s
also a bit weird not completely belonging to any
one particular place.”
euphoria that swept the country around Nelson
Mandela.
“When I did the film I was fascinated by the fact
that I knew so little about it and the intensity of
it,” he says.
“I met a lot of Rwandan exiles and had a long chat
about the whole time period, the pain of that and it
was really fascinating and very painful to hear; I felt
quite ashamed of my ignorance of it prior to that.
I would love to come
to Australia; hopefully
I will make it there one
day. I have a lot of friends
who I’ve worked with
from Australia so it’s a
matter of time I think
“It seemed like a little film at the time but I
had no idea how it would resonate while doing it;
it was an amazing project to do and it resonated
profoundly.”
While it seems Hakeem has traversed just about
every sea he has yet to make it to Australia –
something he says is on the list.
With an impressive list of film credits to his name
and starring alongside the likes of Hugh Jackman
and Johnny Depp, Hakeem says his work on the
2004 film Hotel Rwanda was a career favourite.
“I would love to come to Australia; hopefully I will
Despite living in South Africa around the same
time as the Rwanda genocide, Hakeem says he

For now though, this rogue performer will

a matter of time I think.”

HOME FROM YOUR SWING
AND LOOKING TO ESCAPE
THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS?
ess than an hour south of Perth, yet what
seems like a world away, the Peel region
of Western Australia offers plenty of
adventure and relaxation, stretching from the white
sands and blue waters of the coast to the rugged
terrain of the Darling Ranges.
L
Peel encompasses Mandurah, Murray, SerpentineJarrahdale, Boddington and Waroona – each with
its own distinct attractions and experiences.
Mandurah
Western Australia’s largest regional city is home
to the Peel-Harvey estuary where you’ll find
an abundance of wildlife, natural beauty and
pristine beaches. Known to many boating
enthusiasts as the ideal aquatic playground, the
Mandurah Ocean Marina also features picturesque
boardwalks, parks and waterfront market stalls,
shops, cafes and restaurants.
Don’t forget to pack your fishing rod and cast a
line in the Mandurah Estuary where you are likely
to hook Herring, Sand Whiting, Bream, Cobbler,
Taylor, Garfish and the occasional bigger fish
or try your luck at catching some famous blue
swimmer crabs.
Mandurah is one of a small number of places
in the world where you’ll frequently see wild
dolphins in their natural habitat. Bottlenose
dolphins are often spotted in the boat harbour
and through the estuary and canals, particularly at
Mandjar Bay, Stingray Point and Dawesville Cut.
Bird life is also abundant in Mandurah. With more
than 130 different species of native and migratory
birds nesting, breeding and feeding on the estuary,
it is the perfect location for bird watchers and
nature lovers.
Murray
Home to the towns of Pinjarra and Dwellingup,
the Shire of Murray conveys a feeling of stepping
back in time with its steam train rides in the
Darling Ranges and historic homesteads in the
Edenvale Heritage Precinct.
Camping enthusiasts flock to this part of the Peel
region where the banks of the tranquil Murray
River and the ancient forests are just waiting to
be explored.
Lane Poole Reserve, covering nearly 55,000
hectares, is a must-see place offering visitors the
chance to go picnicking, bushwalking, mountain
biking, swimming, canoeing, four-wheel driving
and wildlife observing. Popular tracks include
the Munda Biddi Trail, King Jarrah Walk and the
Bibbulmun Track.
WA’s largest regional
city is home to the PeelHarvey estuary where
you’ll find an abundance
of wildlife, natural beauty
and pristine beaches
Boddington
Much more than just a mining town, Boddington’s
good old-fashioned rural charm combined with its
beautiful scenery and wildlife along the Hotham
River Foreshore and Lions Weir make it the
perfect country getaway.
Plan your trip on the first Saturday in November
and meet real cowboys at WA’s largest annual
rodeo event. Just like you see in the movies,
these cowboys will be bull riding, steer wrestling,
bareback riding and much more.
Lastly, nothing’s more relaxing than enjoying
genuine country pub hospitality at the
Quindanning Hotel and savouring local produce
at the community markets.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA WILL
PLEASE THE FOODIE, THE
ADVENTURER, THE KIDS
AND THE ONE WHO THINKS
THEY’VE SEEN IT ALL.
ften overlooked as a holiday destination in
favour of the bigger east coast states and
cities, South Australia is starting to get the
recognition it deserves as one of the most beautiful
and unique places in Australia to visit.

Monarto Zoo
South Australia is home to the largest open-range
zoo in the world with more than 500 animals living
across 1500 hectares. The sanctuary plays a huge
role in wild and exotic animal welfare, undertaking
national and international breeding programs
for rare and endangered species. The zoo is also
home to South Australia’s first southern white
rhinoceros and Australia’s largest giraffe herd.
There’s 10km of walking tracks to meander down
through mallee bushland for those who want to
experience their own on-the-ground adventure.
But if the going gets tough you can swap the track
for the Zu-loop shuttle bus, which departs the
visitor centre at regular intervals. The bus is the
perfect option to see it all and further explore
your favourite spots as it stops at a number of
viewing platforms for the giraffe, rhino, cheetah,
lion, African painted dogs and chimpanzee.
Monarto Zoo is open every day and is a
60-minute drive from Adelaide.
The picturesque city of Adelaide offers plenty
in the way of architecture, parklands, cafes and
entertainment and if you venture further afield
you’ll discover unparalleled beaches, the luxuries
and comforts of one of the world’s best wine
regions and a handful of untouched getaway islands.

Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop
Wilpena Pound
If you find yourself in the famous Barossa Valley
wine region this is a must visit for any foodie.
Wilpena Pound is a magnificent amphitheatre
of mountains in the heart of the Flinders
Range National Park around 450km north of
Adelaide. The park is recognised as one of
the finest landscapes in Australia and is rich
in wildlife.
Cook and writer Maggie Beer has created a
food haven on the beautiful banks of the North
Para River where customers can enjoy tastings
and browse her full product range as well as her
personally selected regional specialty goods.
A popular location for lunch, visitors can enjoy
picnic baskets of gourmet pates and fresh
oven-baked bread washed down with a glass of
wine exclusive to the cellar door.
The Farm Shop is open seven days and cooking
demonstrations take place every day at 2pm.
Spend a night or two soaking up the splendour
by camping amongst river red gums, native
pines and wildlife or explore by air on a scenic
flight for a stunning bird’s eye view.
Kangaroo Island
This island is praised time and time again for its
pristine wilderness and wildlife. A 45-minute ferry
ride from the coast will take you to Kangaroo
Island where you can enjoy trail walks among the
beautiful landscapes as you keep an eye out for
kangaroos, wallabies, goannas, echidnas and even
penguins and sea lions. After your stroll take a
dip in the crystal waters, hop on a kayak, try sand
boarding or caving or, if you’re ready to kick back,
do it with a glass of South Australian fine wine
at one of the local wineries. While you’re there
don’t forget to check out Remarkable Rocks,
Admirals Arch and Little Sahara – all highlights of
the island.

ike migratory birds, many
Australians like to fly to warmer
climes during the winter
months. The cold and the rain are rarely
a favourite part of the typical Australian’s
year, so it’s only natural to grab some shorts and
some sunscreen and head north of the equator.
When planning your great European or American
getaway, there’s only one way to do it – go big or
stay home.
L
For the family man…
Your next family holiday does not have to be
a bore thanks to the powerful lure of London.
This is one of those cities that is beyond any one
category. Got young kids? Not a problem with a
West End matinee or a day at the Natural History
Museum. Teenagers? Perfect, send them off to
Camden on the Tube for a day of counter-culture
fun or take them shopping on Oxford Street.
Once you’ve got the kids out of your hair, it might
be time for you and the better half to enjoy a day
at the National Portrait Gallery, before dinner in
Notting Hill and a lovely stroll around the bustling
streets of England’s capital. There are also some
great family bonding experiences such as visiting
the famed Stonehenge in the rolling English
countryside or a Sunday roast at the pub.
If you feel like travelling to America, there is
an easy way to keep the family happy in sunny
Florida. While the party goers will head down to
Miami to soak up the sun with the stars, Orlando
is the best option to keep the kids entertained.
Disneyworld is the ultimate for kids, teens and
adults alike. Fairytales really do come true in this
land of wonder and merriment. Just like elsewhere
in the States, you can discover amazing bars or
comedy clubs after dark when the kids are tucked
up in bed.
For the lovers…
While the French may not be known for their
friendly demeanours, they are well known for
cultivating an atmosphere of euphoric love
in their beautiful city. It may be the beautiful
architecture, it may be the sinfully delightful
pastries but whatever it is, it’s powerful. So if you
feel like a romantic getaway with your significant
other, there is no better option than Paris. If you
want to make your lover feel like the luckiest
in the world, take her or him for a romantic
dinner on the Seine River and then a walk to the
Eiffel Tower where every night, every hour from
sunset to 2am the tower lights up for a majestic
10-minute show. Tres manifique!
Over in the US, lovers will find an oasis in
Californian wine country. A world away from
the bustling San Francisco or star-studded Los
Angeles, the Napa Valley has long been attracting
lovers of great wine and cheese. A popular place
for proposals and weddings, Napa Valley is a
hub for excellence and ambience. With worldacclaimed wineries, Michelin-star restaurants,
healing spas and outdoor recreation, the region
is a natural destination for anyone looking for a
romantic getaway. Whether you’re trying truffles,
taking a decadent wine tasting tour or getting
down and dirty at the Calistoga mud bath, this is
the best place to get away with your love.

TRAVEL TIPS
• When budgeting for America, factor in
a 10-20 per cent tip on everything from
eating in a restaurant to catching a cab.
• Travelling through America becomes
really expensive when you start paying
for luggage, so why not consider taking
the train or hiring a car?
• Make sure you download Uber before
you leave to avoid hefty taxi charges.
• Beware of theft and scams in the
tourist-heavy areas of Europe and take
extra precautions to stay safe on public
transport.
Everybody knows that nothing happens in Barcelona until 2am. This
makes it the perfect destination for young people who are ready to
party up for the European summer. Locals here eat late, party late
and sleep late, on repeat. If you’re looking for a party town, nothing
can fill that void like a trip to the other Spanish capital. With shots
in Barcelona costing less than a bottle of water back home and a
selection of world-class pubs, clubs and parties, we can hear you
screaming “vamonos”! Accommodation and food is cheap in the
city, especially if you go for street eats. If you’re ready for a party,
Barcelona is waiting to welcome you.
Now while the US is one big party, there is one town that is the
ultimate party. Get down to New Orleans, or as the locals will call
it, N’Awlins, for the ultimate festival vibe. Bourbon Street is only just
the tip of the iceberg for young party goers. It is literally called the
Big Easy. The official motto is “laissez les bon temps rouler” or let the
good times roll. With all-night bars, amazing local food
and 25-cent margaritas, this is the place to be.
Take refuge in the French Quarter, which holds
the key to New Orleans’ party atmosphere.
• Start researching a multi-currency
travel card if you’re travelling to
multiple destinations in Europe,
as this could save you valuable
travelling money.
2015
For the party animals…
• Make an effort in Europe to greet
people in their native tongue, as it will
endear you to them. Start practising
your “Buongiorno”!

THERE IS NOTHING MORE
QUINTESSENTIALLY
AUSTRALIAN THAN
PACKING UP THE KIDS
AND THE TRAILER AND
SETTING OFF ON AN
ADVENTURE
E THROUGH
THE OUT
TBACK UNKNOWN.
O
nly nowadays, that unknown is quickly
becoming just a little less unknown. Whether
you’re on two feet, two wheels or four
wheels, there are plenty of ways to see this Great
Southern Land. With beautiful inlets and golden
plains, the expanse of Australia is best seen from
the ground.
Now close your eyes and just imagine being at
the wheel of your 4WD, with nothing but open
road ahead.
Across the Nullarbor
Crossing the Nullarbor plain is a must-do for any
avid outdoorsman. Leaving from Perth, you can
use this journey to connect you to Melbourne or
Adelaide, via the Eyre Highway. As you pass the
hills, you will head out on to a flat expanse of
low shrubs and kangaroo-lined roads. Your home
for the duration of the journey will be a number
of roadhouses and campsites strategically places
along the highway.
There’s an app for that
The 16-day journey along the Canning Stock route
is not for the faint-hearted. You will be travelling
more than 2000km along an isolated part of
outback Western Australia, which passes through
the Gibson and Great Sandy deserts from Wiluna
in the Northern Goldfields to Halls Creek in the
North West. Whilst this route should only be
attempted by the most confident drivers, there is
now an app which will help you on your journey
through the remote deserts. You can download
the Canning Stock Route project from the Apple
App Store.
A cycle across Australia
For the friends of lycra, there are plenty of
options to get around the outback. For those
cyclists who are really keen on seeing the extent
of this great country, there is a tour that knocks
off most of the states in one hit. Starting from
the South West Rocks in New South Wales, the
Remote Outback Cycle Tour travels from Sydney,
to Broken Hill, up to Mt Isa, across to Katherine
and then over to Lake Argyle and eventually
finishing in Broome. You will experience the
full length of Australia, with vast distances and
incredible sights.
Walk across Tasmania
It is quite easy to forget the beautiful tranquillity
that exists on the island state of Tasmania. Taking
a guided walking tour is a perfect way to really
understand the rich tapestry of life that exists on
the island. Whether it’s a three-day walking tour
of the majestically beautiful and untouched Bay
of Fires, or a walking adventure of Freycinet and
Wineglass Bay on the east coast of the island,
Tasmania is one place that will not disappoint.
THINGS TO remember
before you take off
• In the unlikely event that your car breaks
down, you should have a healthy supply
of H2O to help get you get back
to civilisation.
• Add a campfire grill or barbecue grill to
your survival pack just to make sure the
family never goes hungry.
• It’s nice to check in with the world on
Facebook (when you can) and let them
know how your adventure is going. Invest
in a multi-device charger with a solar
power generator.

TRAP
s
aving a deposit, navigating bank loans and
finding the perfect fit can make owning your
first home seem like an impossible task but
it’s not as tricky as you might think.
Everyone should have the opportunity to own
their own home at some point in their lives.
At least that’s the view of long-time property
broker Tim Boyle and the foundation for his
book Escape the Rental Trap.
Inspired by a conversation with a dejected
homeowner hopeful, Tim developed a sevenstep methodology for those looking to buy their
first home.
“It started off from a conversation I had with
a nurse and she was expressing to me her
frustration that she’d been refused finance by
two banks,” Tim says.
“She’d been told she needed a sizeable deposit
and she said she just would never be able to save
that money.
“I ended up being able to get her a loan with
very little deposit and I thought it’s not that
people haven’t got the money, it’s that people
don’t know how to go about it.”
With constantly increasing house prices many
Australians simply feel out of their depth when
it comes to buying and instead fall into renting
properties, which can quickly become a trap,
according to Tim.
“The problem is that rent is expensive and
people end up spending most of their wages
on rent and then at the end of it they’ve got
nothing to show for it,” Tim says.
“The frustrating thing is, they struggle to save for
a deposit and house prices are always going up
(they go up an average of eight per cent a year, so
pretty much they double in value every 10 years
in Australian capital cities) and so at the end of
the day it just gets harder and harder to buy.
“The longer you’re renting you can get stuck in
this trap of being further and further away from
buying property.”
So how does one escape the rent trap?
Tim advises that it’s important to first determine
whether buying is the right move and from there
it’s about asking yourself where you want to live
and what type of property you wish to buy.
“You want to narrow down wherever you’re
living and then you want to work out what type
of property you can afford and then what type
of property you want to live in. Are you going to
compromise your location for a unit for example
or are you prepared to go out of town a little bit
and buy a bit of land?” he says.

Tim says for those who are time poor or lack the
confidence to go about it themselves, a financial
planner may be able to help, however if you’re
willing to put in the effort then you should be
fine doing your own research.
One of the most common-held misconceptions
around home ownership is how much money is
needed for a deposit.
Tim says most people believe they need a deposit
of at least 10 per cent or even 20 per cent, which
is required savings of $40,000 to $80,000 for an
average priced house of $400,000.
“There’s a lot of flexibility among the second tier
lenders outside the big banks in terms of what
type of income they’ll consider and the sources
of the deposit,” he says.
the longer you’re
renting you can get stuck
in this trap of being
further and further away
from buying property
“There’s a lot more flexibility in the market than
what people commonly think.”
A large part of home ownership is preparing for
retirement; Tim says he’s seen many workers
looking to retire in the next 10-15 years but
without an asset to fall back on to.
“You don’t want to be retiring as a renter because
you’re going to be paying rent after your income
has stopped and you’ve got no asset to show for
it, so that’s why it’s a trap,” he says.
Aside from the financial aspect, Tim says renters
need to also consider the emotional effect of
their living situation.
“The big problem with renting is you can be
pushed around having to move houses every
couple of years and you’re uprooting your kids,
sometimes they have to change schools and
circles of friends change, so it’s that whole
stability of the environment that you bring them
up in. It’s a side that often gets overlooked in the
financial press,” he says.
Once all the paperwork
is signed and you’re
a proud homeowner
you can start to look
at using your home
to create a secondary
income by using your
increasing home value
to buy another asset.

DOG DAYS
f you love watching greyhound racing then there’s nothing stopping you
taking the next step and actually owning your own greyhound and being
part of the exhilarating action.
I
A fun, easy and relatively inexpensive way to get started is through greyhound
syndication – simply gather a group of friends and share the costs of owning a
greyhound which could go on to become a champion race dog.
Greyhounds WA Racing Manager Dennis O’Brien says for many people the
overriding reason to purchase a share in a greyhound is to have fun and
experience the thrill and excitement of racing.
A ready-to-race greyhound can cost anywhere between $3000 and $30,000
depending on its age and ability. Greyhounds are usually aged 16 to 18
months when they first start racing, so if people purchased a pup aged three
months, it would cost about $8000 to train and prepare the greyhound for
the racing track.
“For first-time owners buying a race age greyhound, I would recommend
contacting a trainer to assist you with any purchase for two reasons,”
Dennis says.
“First they will have a better idea of the real value and worth of a greyhound
and, secondly, once you buy a greyhound you will need a trainer to train it,
so it’s best to combine that process.”
Dennis says training fees are negotiable but people should budget about $80
to $100 per week.
“Additionally, trainers will receive a percentage of any prize money (for
example 20 to 30 per cent), whereas some trainers operate on the basis of
50 per cent of all earnings but charge no weekly fee,” he says.
RACEHORSE OWNERSHIP
“This covers most costs involved in racing your greyhound. Greyhounds are
capable of racing up to about five years of age and many get beyond 100
career starts.
THRILLING, EXCITING & REWARDING
“Many syndicates arrange social nights when their greyhound is running and
win or lose it is a great night out. The aim is to win a big race but in reality
wining any race provides a thrill and excitement.
Racehorse shares with winning results
“It is quite common to see owners who have had success re-invest in other
greyhounds. They don’t do it for financial benefit but for the thrill and
excitement that racing provides.”
For more information about greyhound syndication and ownership, contact
Mr O’Brien on (08) 9458 4600.
GREYHOUND
- TRIVIA • Believe it or not a greyhound can reach speeds of 45 km/h in three
strides and full speed of 70 km/h within 30m or six strides.
Racehorse shares with Winning Results
Leading Victorian trainers • Professional management • All budgets catered for
10% shares from $3500 / monthly expenses $250pm
• A greyhound produces around 100,000 watts of waste heat energy
during a 30-second race; this is enough to bring 600ml of tap water
to the boil in about two minutes.
• Greyhounds are one of the oldest dog breeds and the only breed
mentioned in the Bible.
• The first greyhound came to Australia with Captain Cook in 1770.
contact 1300 657 987
• Generally, greyhounds are unable to sit. For most it is physically
impossible or extremely uncomfortable because their legs are too
long and muscly for a sitting position.

Manscaping
It’s 2015 and men are taking it all off – excess
body hair, that is. Waxing isn’t just for the ladies
anymore; now men too are ridding their backs,
chests, butts, feet and toes of unsightly body
hair. Between waxing, shaving, electrolysis,
tweezing, trimming and laser hair removal, there’s
a treatment to suit every man’s pain threshold.
Although perfectly sculpted eyebrows, ‘the male
Brazilian’ and hairless legs and arms are certainly
not for every man, it’s worth taking the time to do
your experimental homework and figure out what
you’re comfortable with and works best for you.
The man tan
It’s a fact, the man tan has gone mainstream.
No longer just for actors and models, even your
average Joe has jumped on the flawlessly tanned
skin bandwagon. According to beauty salon
owners, it starts off with wives and girlfriends
bringing in their partners for a little bronzing and
then the guys just keep coming back for more.
Fake tans are now looking so natural (gone are
the days of looking like a Willy Wonka oompa
loompa), that a lot of guys of getting them and
people wouldn't even suspect it. A tan can even
enhance the appearance of muscles – winning!
There’s an abundance of do-it-yourself tanning
products on the market in the form of creams,
lotions and foams to get you started. But it’s
worth looking into spray tans and custom
airbrushing for special events such as a wedding.
Smile like you mean it
Whiter, brighter and straighter teeth can make you
look years younger and greatly boost your selfesteem. The first step to pimping your grin (no,
we don’t mean grillz) is to begin with some form
of teeth whitening. The most popular options
include laser bleaching, tray-based whitening and
over-the-counter DIY products. Next you can
say goodbye to crooked and chipped teeth with
dental veneers. These ultra-thin cosmetic facings
can cover up your teeth and provide an instant
smile makeover. If you’re missing teeth, talk to
your dentist about the option of crowns, bridges
or implants to cosmetically change the overall
appearance of your smile.
no longer just for
actors and models, even
your average Joe has
jumped on the flawlessly
tanned skin bandwagon
Going bald? Not anymore
Do you look in the mirror and can’t help but
notice your receding hairline is getting worse each
day or has your sports cap become a wardrobe
staple to hide that balding patch? Two-thirds
of men face hair loss by the age of 35 so you’re
not alone, unfortunately it’s just in the genes. Be
wary of those late night television infomercials
and internet ads hyping hair-growing shampoos
and miracle pills. It’s worth siding with science
and looking into surgical hair restoration, also
known as hair transplantation. How it works is the
bald resistant hair follicles from the back of the
head are harvested and surgically relocated to
the balding areas on the top of the head. It’s one
of the only therapies that is actually proven to
work, but be careful and do your research on the
transplant surgeon and his/her technique.
Barbershop style
For all the men who are fortunate enough to
have hair but need a little help with their styling,
ask your barber. These pros with the scissors
are the best people to recommend a few solid
options and keep you looking like you just left the
barbershop, literally. As a general guide, waxes are
good for adding shine and controlling short styles,
whereas muds and fibres (thickening powder) are
more suited for dishevelled and longer hairstyles.
Creams help control fizz and fly-aways in those
sharp, conservative styles, but if you need a
stronger hold, you can’t go past good old gel and
hair spray. A well-constructed haircut with natural
looking edges will look good for a solid month
or even longer, compared to a lower-quality cut
which loses its shape after two to three weeks.
Talk to your barber about the best style for your
hair texture and face shape. And don’t forget
about maintaining the mo and beard too.

-FLASHTHOSE PEARLY WHITES
Dental implants are artificial teeth that look, function and feel like
natural teeth. They are an effective means of restoring smile and
function where teeth are missing or badly diseased, without the need
for dentures or plates.
A strong, lasting, comfortable, natural tooth replacement option,
dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth,
several damaged or missing teeth, partial dentures or bridgework, or
even for full teeth replacement. They can also be used to stabilise
problematic or loose dentures, and increase their functional
effectiveness.
Perth Implant and Surgical Sedation Dentistry (ISSD) Principal
Dentist Dr Misagh Habibi says implants are suitable for adults of all
ages, providing the growth of their jaw is complete and they are in
good health.
Don’t want dentures?
Advanced (terminal) dental or gum disease?
Multiple missing teeth?
A popular implant procedure is ISSD’s ‘All-on-4 Plus’ immediate
teeth replacement.
Your answer could be
The procedure, which places four implants into each jaw, enables
people with dentures, or those who need teeth removed, to have
fixed dental replacements in the comfort of one sedation visit.

“For suitable patients, their new permanent replacement teeth
are fitted within one to two days of surgery, making it a time and
cost-effective solution, compared to conventional dental implant

eyond conventional schools with
classrooms and lockers and detention,
there exists a safe space for troubled
teens who have yet to find their way.
This place, says Alta-1 Principal Dave Stevens, is
a haven for students who are not getting the
emotional or intellectual support they need from
a conventional school.
Alta-1 is a not-for-profit organisation that provides
community development services to young
people in Western Australia.
“We’re like a primary school class, working with
secondary school aged kids in as much as we have
one teacher, delivering all the subjects,” he says.
Classrooms are broken up into small pockets of
students operating out of third party buildings
across Perth.
Each pocket has a teacher, a chaplain and some
assistants responsible for the wellbeing of
those children.
Dave says as the son of a navy man, he
understands what it feels like for children who
may not see their dads on a daily basis.
“FIFO is an added pressure for families,” he says.
“They have a really intense job for seven or eight
weeks, they’ve got two weeks to come home and
rest, but what the family needs is really for them
to pick up the game. It’s a really hard gig.”
According to research conducted by the
Australian Institute of Family Studies, parenting
is found to be more difficult under a FIFO
arrangement as the absence of one parent
makes it more difficult for the stay-at-home
parent to provide for the physical, emotional and
intellectual needs of the children.
27
about things that bothered them to the FIFO
parent when they were at work.
Jacinth says while more research is needed into
the field, there are some examples in the case
study of adolescents who have been affected by
having a FIFO parent.
Jacinth studied the children in terms of resilience,
and says when compared with non-FIFO children,
there is a slightly lower average level of resilience.
She found that while some FIFO children had high
resilience levels, there were cases where they had
very low resilience. Her study remains ongoing.
It said a “significantly higher” level of
dysfunction was recorded in communication and
behaviour control for FIFO mothers than in coparented families.
Alta-1 offers psychology not only for the students,
but also for parents who may not be dealing well
with the situation.
Edith Cowan University PhD student Jacinth
Watson is currently conducting a study regarding
the effects of FIFO work on children.
“The teachers are very suited in talking to
students about different issues, they have to
relate and integrate to work with these students.”
Early results found 73.5 per cent of adolescents
were sad when the FIFO parent returned to work,
while 43.1 per cent felt nervous or anxious when
the FIFO returned to work. About 42.7 per cent
of respondents said it was more difficult to talk
The college’s services include alternative education,
recovery programs and opportunities for enterprise
and community transformation initiatives, which
allow students to get into the workplace.

But now he is motivating people to get into top
shape from the comfort of their own homes with
his ‘Get Commando Fit’ online workout program
and new book.
The program has a big focus on nutrition:
combining functional exercises with delicious and
balanced recipes.
“For beginners it’s about locking down the nutrition
and exercise, but not to bewilder and overwhelm
them with too much,” Commando Steve says.
BY LAURA GALIC
“Otherwise they become disheartened and they
feel they have been pushed into the deep end
and I don't want people feeling like that.
“The book is a taster for the online program and
if people are interested and really serious about
change it’s a great way to start.”
Even FIFO workers can get in on the action.
Commando Steve says it’s all about getting into a
healthy habit and sticking to it during their time off.
“My brother has worked on the mines, he’s spoken
to me numerous times about what it’s like on the
minesites and it’s pretty difficult, especially with
the monotony at times,” he says.
“You really need to have that discipline and frame
of mind to achieve what you set out to achieve,
but firstly you need to have a goal.
“What is it that you’re working towards?
“A lot of minesites now have gyms, so there are
pretty much no excuses to getting into the gym,
following a program or even working with the
trainers that the mines employ.”
29
commitment can change their reality.
“The same happens for people in everyday life,
although there’s a lot more distractions that they
need to work through.
“It’s about looking at how they perceive
themselves and where they put themselves on
that priorities list and again how to overcome a
lot of excuses.
“Not achieving, I believe comes from ignorance
and a lot of excuses we keep telling ourselves.
“Ask yourself the question: Am I being a drama
queen? Am I making this something that it’s not?
“Look at it for what it really is and make some
smart choices and decisions to move forward.”
In the end it’s the intrinsic reward and motivation
from helping others that will continue to inspire
his training camps, online programs and books.
“We’re all human beings, we’re all dependent on
one another for certain things and being able to
offer that to help people in a time of crisis or
need is very rewarding,” Commando Steve says.

• 5 minutes by ferry or car to

But it’s even harder on the weeks off where a
change of routine can cause all good habits to go
out the window. He says it just comes down to
staying disciplined, overcoming the distractions
and continuing the training and healthy eating.
• Minutes walk to Mends Street –
restaurants, supermarket

Over the past six years, Commando Steve has
been running training camps, hosting training
sessions at different gyms and councils – even
making a trip to the Wheatstone LNG plant in
Western Australia.
• Free car parking

“What people get out of these sessions is an
understanding of the way I train,” he says. “I strip
away a lot of unnecessary things people may do in
their training and give them something to focus on.
“My idea of training isn’t the specificity of a
particular area; it’s for overall strengthening,
conditioning and wellbeing.”
In reality though, not everyone has the
Commando’s strict discipline and abiding by his
‘No Excuses’ motto can be hard. So how does he
motivate these people?
“First and foremost to be able to help somebody,
they have to be willing and ready to do it for
themselves, so once they are engaged on that
level, it comes down to listening to them talk,
looking at the way they conduct themselves and
their actions,” he says.
“Then you have to work on breaking old habits
and reinforcing new ones.
“With The Biggest Loser contestants it’s about
controlling their variables with food and nutrition
and essentially removing all the other distractions
from the house.
“Then they start to realise a bit of hard work and

A
s the summer months begin to wind
down and there is that noticeable chill
in the air, many people begin their
yearly hibernation indoors. During the extended
Australian summer, millions move outside to fire
up the barbecue and jump in the pool. The sun is
shining and life is bliss.
While the dial on the barometer never drops
a great deal during the Australian winter, there
is always that chill in the area that keeps you
from enjoying your outdoor area as much as
you should. As winter fast approaches, there
are many things you can do to keep your
outdoor entertaining area as the life of the party.
Here’s a few inexpensive DIYs and some bigger
investments that will add value to your outdoor
entertaining area.
Invest in an outdoor heater
There is a big range of outdoor heaters on the
market, which can fit the smallest or the largest
budget. You can pick up a second-hand outdoor
heater for as little as $30 on Gumtree in relatively
good working order. This is handy if you’ve got
an event coming up outside and you just want to
add a little bit of heat to the party. On the more
expensive side you have the Heat Strip electric
heater, which is not only much better to run, but
also makes a great permanent addition to your
outdoor entertaining area. It will cost you less in
the long run to use, but will set you back about
$600 per panel in the installation phase.
Get a pool cover
Most people spend up big on installing their
swimming pools, which really only get used about
half of the year. Whilst it gets too expensive to
run your pool heater all year round, adding a pool
cover to the mix will not only save you electricity
and water, but will keep your pool at a swimmable
temperature during the cooler months. Pool
covers can cost anywhere from $100 to $3900, but
are well worth the investment.
Set up a windshield
If you have an open alfresco area, you may be at
the mercy of the wind gods. However, there are
little things you can do to protect yourself from
the elements. Putting up a windshield around your
alfresco, much like many restaurants have, will give
you the option to still eat a meal outside even if
the elements outside are less than inviting. What
is better than a plate of puttanesca and a glass
31
of red on the alfresco while the rains pours down
outside? You can pick up a really inexpensive wind
shade for about $20 from Ikea, or get the pros to
do it.
Set up an outdoor movies
While you may not be able to have a roaring party
until all hours of the morning outside during winter,
there are clever ways you can still use that space
practically. More and more people are setting up
their own outdoor movie cinemas and then rugging
up with a blanket and some hot chocolate. All
you need is a white sheet, a projector and some
outdoor-friendly chairs and cushions to create the
ultimate outdoor movie experience.
DIY fire pit
There are great (and cheap) ways to build a fire
pit in your backyard. This will give your guests
the option to sit around an open fire, roasting
marshmallows and reminiscing about summer. For
less than $100, you can collect about 30 concrete
bricks and six concrete slabs. While the slabs are
laid down on a flat surface, you stack the bricks
in a rectangular pattern, creating a small fire pit.
You can also hire the experts to install a more
professional fitout.

ON A SPIT
outdoor
BY KIRSTEN HYAM
FLA OURS
O
ur mild autumn months invite us to entertain and cook outdoors and it’s a trend that continues to
grow in popularity. While some people can afford the space to recreate an entire kitchen outside,
you may only have room for a small portable barbecue. Since cooking shows have skyrocketed on
television, more people are taking a serious approach to cooking and making the most of the weather
by hosting a backyard barbecue. But just how should you cook your meat outside?
W E TA K E A LO O K AT S O M E O F T H E VA R I O U S M E T H O D S
BARBECUE
Be sure to consider the size of your
outdoor entertaining space before
purchasing a barbecue, as you don’t
want it to look oversized for the
area, nor do you want there to be
little room left for your guests. If
you have a large backyard and do quite a bit
of outdoor entertaining particularly over
the warmer months, consider investing in a
built-in design or go as far as constructing a
spectacular outdoor kitchen. For the ultimate
in luxury, build a kitchen by the pool for a
swim-up pool bar. Smaller courtyard-style
spaces are better suited to a freestanding
mobile model that you can easily pack away
in a shed or tuck around a corner.
ROTISSERIE
This style of cooking involves meat being
skewered on to a long solid rod, which rotates
the meat as it is cooked over a fire or in the
oven. A favourite with meat lovers, because
the animal bastes in its own juices, it leads
to incredibly tender texture and intense
flavour. Spits are often used for larger parties
or special occasions and are a great method
for cooking larger cuts of meat or whole
animals. Rotisserie spits are ideal for outdoor
entertaining if you’re planning on hosting a
function. With everyone standing around,
stoking the coals and watching the meat
cook as the delicious scent fills the air,
it creates a wonderful
atmosphere.
Spit roasting a pig is a sure-fire favourite on
party menus, especially at larger, barbecuestyle family functions.
A suckling pig is a popular option because they
have more collagen than adult pigs as they are
yet to fully develop their muscle fibres.
This leads to moist and delicate meat that’s
soft as the heat from cooking breaks down
connective tissue into gelatin.
While you can opt to hire a spit and have your
pig done for you, don’t cancel out the chance
to have your own fun and DIY at home.
Roasting the pig via rotisserie is a much simpler
way than using a grill, oven or barbecue, as the
animal will come out more tender and juicy
and be more evenly cooked.
Be sure to order your pig well in advance so
your butcher has time to source it.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 suckling pig
(between two and six weeks old)
• 1 tbsp coarse salt
• 1 tbsp cracked pepper
• 750ml olive oil
METHOD
• Light the barbecue coals and wait until they
are white hot.
• Rub salt into the surface of the pig to create
crackling, before adding pepper to the skin.
• Using the instructions from your spit, place
the pig flat on a table, stomach down.
• Slide the main axle along the length of the
pig, inserting it from the rear.
PIZZA OVENS
Nothing adds warmth and deliciousness to
the cool outdoor nights than a toasty, freshly
baked pizza. An increasingly popular option
for DIY men, there are numerous ways to
incorporate a pizza oven to your space. Opt
to purchase the materials and build it yourself,
engage a company to build an oven for you
or simply add a ready-made model to your
outdoor kitchen. A woodfired pizza oven
is commonly constructed from refractory
materials so it is able to withstand extremely
high temperatures. A brick oven is less popular
as it can take hours to
heat to the required
level for cooking.
SMOKING
Smoking your meat gives it an incredibly
rich texture and flavour, made possible by
exposing it to smoke from burning wood.
The process is long though, with a smoking
motto of ‘low and slow’, because reduced
temperatures and an extended length of
cooking time result in maximum flavour
and melt-in-the-mouth meat. The smoking
method of cooking is ideal for larger cuts of
meat, such as whole fish, shoulders or ribs.
Beef and pork are other great meats
to smoke. The type of wood
you use will determine the
strength of smokiness your
meat will have.
• The thickest parts of the pig require the
most heat, so move the majority of the
coals to underneath the leg and shoulder
area, with a smaller amount of coals under
the belly.
• Add olive oil liberally, several times
throughout roasting, to help with the
crackling.
• To check whether the meat is thoroughly
cooked, insert a meat thermometer to the
thickest part of the leg area. A reading of
65C is medium, with 75C being well done.
• When it is ready, place the pig where you
intend to serve it, as removing the parts of
the spit may cause the meat to fall away.
• Carefully remove the spit mounting when it
has been moved, then carve and serve.

CLEAN
spread
ealth and fitness duo Luke Hines and
Scott Gooding have always lived by their
‘clean living’ mantra and now that the
former My Kitchen Rules contestants have been
thrown on to the national stage they’re sharing
their message with the rest of Australia.
H
The Bondi boys have been busy since their time
on the Channel 7 cooking program finished,
each returning to their separate personal training
business and collaborating on their healthy paleo
orientated recipe book series.
“With our first couple of books it was an
introduction to paleo…and now with the latest
two books they’re 100 per cent paleo,” Scott says.
“We wanted to get the message out there that
healthy eating can be really simplistic and doesn’t
have to involve lots of process and lengthy
ingredients lists. We want to break down those
barriers that people have of not having enough
time for cooking healthy food.”
Luke admits that he had an ulterior motive in the
creation of the new book, Clean Living Fast Food,
realising that things like donuts and fish and chips
are too good to get rid of completely.
“I’ve got a massive sweet tooth and I love
takeaway style food, but obviously being paleo
and trying to live such a healthy lifestyle it’s really
difficult to still enjoy those types of foods. We
saw a need to create paleo healthy versions that
would be quick and easy and affordable to cook
up,” he says.
With so many recipes already out there Luke
and Scott have a lot of work to do in creating
their own original meals, but they’re prepared to
venture far for the perfect recipe.
we wanted to get
the message out there
that healthy eating can
be really simplistic and
doesn’t have to involve

“Luke and I get to go to LA quite a bit and that’s
the real birth place of sustainable food and the
‘paddock to plate’ concept; they’ve been doing
that for many years in California so there’s a lot to
learn from that culture,” Scott says.
And when they experiment in the kitchen
everything must be trialled and tested by the
experts before it can be included in the book.
“My toughest critic is my son, who’s six and a
half so he’ll let me know straight away whether
it tastes nice or not and won’t sugar coat the
response at all,” Scott says.
While Scott developed a love for cooking at a
young age in his parent’s London pubs, Luke has
only recently found enjoyment in it, ironically
finding cooking relaxing on the fast-paced reality
TV show.
“Funnily enough before My Kitchen Rules I used
to find cooking really stressful. For some reason
I associated cooking with mess and being rushed
but throughout the process of the show I found
a great love for cooking…so post show I actually
find cooking really therapeutic,” he says.
Now he can’t get enough with his sights set on
spreading the clean living message abroad.
“I think to be on a world platform would be
phenomenal,” he says. “If it meant that I had
a career travelling
around the world,
presenting a show
that was all about
health and wellness
around the world
then bring that on.”

Kit cars are the solution to that burning desire
to call yourself a mechanic, engineer and proud
muscle car owner.
will work on it and ensure space is going to be
available to you for however long it takes.
you first thought and, as a result, you’ll need to
set a budget and do things in stages.
It’s also important to familiarise yourself with
the vehicle registration process in your state.
Different states allow different things and you
don’t want to finish your project only to find out
your 4A-GZE motor isn’t allowed to power cars in
Western Australia like it is in South Australia.
If you’re keener on the finished product than
the project then it’s a good idea to have your
manufacturer build the kit car for you or assist
with certain difficult tasks. That way you can
experience the thrill of purchasing a kit car and
seeing it transform from a bunch of parts into
a sports car masterpiece without all the hassle
and commitment.
Get into gear
When it comes to assembling your kit car you really
have to do everything yourself. You are not afforded
the luxury of simply fitting parts into already drilled
holes; you’ll need to create those yourself.
Building a kit car requires a massive skillset. Think
about what goes into making any vehicle and
you’ll soon realise you will need to know how to
weld, plumb a car, fix the electrics, install relays
and diodes, work with fibreglass and wire up the
engine, among other things.
Humble beginnings
While it may be tedious, we all know lots of
research precedes any new project. Building a kit
car isn’t quick, easy or cheap, so you’ll need to be
clued in and certain on what you want.
You may already have an idea of what type of
vehicle you would like to build, but if you don’t
and aren’t sure where to get inspiration then
www.kitcars.com is a good starting point. On this
site you’ll find a list of just about every kit car
manufacturer out there.
You could recruit your mates or the assistance of
experts to help with the areas you’re not so sure
about or it could be a good opportunity to learn
a whole bunch of new skills.
A basic starter kit can cost anywhere from $12,000
to $50,000. However, this price is simply for the
essential body parts. As you go you will need to
add in costs for tools, electrical systems, braking
system, exhaust, cooling, engine, wheels, exterior
and interior finishes just to name a few. So even
if you started with $12,000, you could rack up a
$37,000 bill come completion.
Be mindful that kit car building is a long
endeavour, several years in fact, and requires lots
of space to complete your work. Before you order
your car, make arrangements as to where you

There’s also a great deal of engineering involved
as most kits come with instructions but you are
expected to create a solution. For example, how
will you put certain parts together in order for it
to later be serviceable should something break?
Or simply where do you mount your air tank?
These sorts of questions will get your cogs
running and before you know it you’ll be seeing
the possibilities in almost anything.
It’s not for everyone
Approach the project with realistic expectations.
It may take longer than you planned, you may
have to recruit some help, it may cost more than

melt
BY BIANCA BARTUCCIOTTO
M
elbourne’s National Gallery of
Victoria International is set to serve
as a backdrop for artist Jamie North
to display his latest works of concrete and
ore intertwined with native Australian flora, a
comment on the power of Mother Nature.
The event opens on March 27 through to July 13
and will feature six monumental rock columns
entwined with Melbourne-native Wonga
Wonga vines which will eventually erupt in a
cluster of creamy, bell-shaped flowers with pink
or red throats.
Made of concrete and recycled slag, the massive
beams tower over viewers, the largest standing
at 5m tall.
Sydney-based artist Jamie North says the
work comments on nature’s awesome power
to survive and thrive even in the most barren
environments and the complicated relationship
between nature and architecture.
“Rock Melt is the culmination of thoughts
around solidity and stability giving way into
something less material or certain,” he says.
“I think the divide between the natural and
man-made is an artificial one as the two are
always related and interacting.”
The idea of the work is for the flowers
to bloom and grow throughout the duration of
the exhibition.
The project takes its name from the Karl Marx
quote “All that is solid melts into air”, particularly
fitting when considering the location of the
National Gallery between the heart of the
Melbourne CBD and the Melbourne Royal
Rock Melt Botanic Garden.
“As I’m trying to achieve an ambiguous state
between the natural and man-made, in my mind
the works are successful if people have an initial
uncertainty as to whether the objects are found
or constructed, or even under construction or
conversely, in ruins.”
NGV Director Tony Ellwood says the work
welcomes nature back inside the walls of
the gallery.
“These sculptures look ancient, like ruins, an
especially clever effect given that the sculptures
are in fact modelled from a by-product of an
industrial process,” he says.
Entry to the exhibition is free and also gives you
the opportunity to lazily wander through the
rest of the expansive gallery.

Where does your interest in art
stem from?
My family. Both parents are artists and my
mother especially was a successful artist,
painting stories of the land and our community.
My father, a retired drover, did some art in
the 1960s, held a single sell-out exhibition and
never really went back to art, although there
are a few of his water colours in private hands
that I come across from time to time. The main
inspiration for my work is my wife Deeva; she is
the real artist in our family and has been a strong
encouragement for me to take up and create
artworks. We have been married for 25 years, so
art has been a part of my life from childhood
through to my adult married life.
artist
How did you learn art?
I learnt from the experience of those around
me and by just doing. Sometimes with new
mediums, such as printmaking and ceramics, I
have undertaken short courses with inspiring
teachers who have allowed me to explore these
new mediums. In all my learning and teaching,
Deeva has guided the development of my work,
encouraging, advising and mentoring.
What mediums do you work with?
I use three main mediums. In the Revealed
exhibition I will be displaying ceramic artworks,
my kangaroo series. I am also a print maker
and have one lino print in the National Gallery
of Australia print collection and I do painting,
mostly acrylic on canvas. I mostly work in abstract
landscapes that merge lines with other desert
traditions of dot painting. In the exhibition I am
using my knowledge of Marlu (kangaroo) to try to
capture them in various poses.
How often do you create pieces?
We keep a very busy schedule so a lot of
the artworks I create are to be included in
exhibitions or shows or are project works.

I first created ceramic pieces as part of the
Walkatjurra Cultural Centre ceramic workshops. I
found I easily adapted to this medium, so much
so that I produced pieces for an exhibition in
Kalgoorlie, which has now gone on to being
accepted into the Revealed exhibition.

What inspires you when you are
at work?
I grew up with a semi-nomadic traditional life.
My parents lived and worked in the desert,
where only 30 years beforehand my mother
walked as a tribal nomad. We lived in a bush
camp and travelled to places my mother recalled
visiting with her family as a child. This traditional
Aboriginal world view, connecting self, spirit and
places is the primary source of inspiration in my
art. Even working with clay is connecting with
earth. My printmaking and paintings use lines in
the tradition of wood engraving into tools, such
as spear throwers and even sacred objects. The
boldness of colour in my paintings reflects the
strong vibrancy of my land.
How does your culture or
background influence your art?
My work is all about my culture and background.
As an Aboriginal man with traditional cultural
responsibilities to land and country, I work
with reverence to the spiritual authority of the
Dreaming or Tjukurrpa. In most of the artworks I
produce, I am presenting a representation of my
interpretation of the Dreaming as it exists on the
land. Creating artworks to me is a meditation on
country, on spirituality and the essence of the
subject matter, be it a place or an animal like
a kangaroo.

Are metropolitan communities aware
of the regional art culture?
Art is underappreciated throughout our
society, not just in regional areas. We have the
opportunity in the Northern Goldfields (Leonora,
Menzies and Laverton) to create and develop a
vibrant arts community linked in with the already
existing tourism traffic. Sadly, funding agencies
do not consider art as a viable alternative to
industries such as mining, despite the fact that for
local regional areas, the multiplier effect for art
and tourism is far greater than for mining.

Why is it important to
celebrate culture?
Celebrating culture offers an opportunity to
connect through a sense of place, a sense of
belonging and understanding. Art allows people to
share culture so others might learn and appreciate
the beauty offered through one’s culture.
Why is art important?
Art speaks where words fail. An awareness of art
and its impact in communities needs to be valued
and promoted more. Art is therapy, art is beauty
and it can generate an income for practitioners.
Many Aboriginal people create and sell art to
bring in much-needed cash. All people should be
more aware of art.
