WELCOME TO 3000MELBOURNE!

‘Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together.....’

This issue has been in planning for a while now; it began exactly 12 months ago with the launch of 3000Melbourne, 3205SouthMelbourne and 3207PortMelbourne as rotating inserts or mini magazines inside our fl agship publication, 3008Docklands Magazine.

The theory was that by implementing these rotating inserts we could speak to our ‘neighbours’ and in doing so, benefi t our readers and assist our advertisers by widening their scope and reach through cross promotion.

Well, 12 months down the track and we have been thrilled with how well the inserts have been received and supported and therefore, MagMedia, our Publisher, decided to expand our postcode strategy even further with the introduction of 3002JolimontEastMelbourne and Essendon Fields News.

After 6 years as 3008Docklands Magazine we believe now is the right time to make the transition to 3000Melbourne as our hero magazine and there are a few reasons for this.

Firstly, as Docklands is an integral and constantly developing new precinct, we believe we can do more to promote the area and support local businesses by increasing our main distribution to 14,000 copies throughout the CBD, while still maintaining regular distribution across Docklands and surrounding areas. Docklands will remain a dedicated focus as a part of Melbourne, while 3008Docklands also joins the line up as one of our rotating inserts.

Secondly, the increasing interest in our various publications has been quite apparent. In order to increase distribution to satisfy demand adequately

we needed to grow the brand and expand on a much greater level than we had ever done before.

And lastly, we believe this is the greatest city on earth and we just wanted to dive in and be part of the ‘big smoke’ to get the word out further on all the amazing sights, sounds and events on in Melbourne. We are confi dent we offer an alternative and will complement the current Melbourne local publication scene. After all, we are Magmedia ... our name says it all!

So now that you know who we are and why, let me give you a little snippet into what lays within our 3000Melbourne launch issue pages.

It was such a privilege to interview gold medal Olympian and world champion swimmer, Libby (Lenton) Trickett as she prepares for her third Olympic Games in London.

It may be icy cold outside but Melbourne turns up the heat when it comes to magnifi cent entertainment, please see our top picks for getting out this July.

It’s school holiday time again and we have some great giveaways and holiday ideas to keep everyone in the family smiling all the way back to school.

And to end on a high, I hope you enjoy our interview with the fabulous Rhonda Burchmore, starring in Cry Me A River – The World of Julie London showing at the Comedy Theatre this August.

Enjoy our July launch issue and feel free to drop me a line with your feedback or story suggestions at any time! Oh, and if your place of business would like to stock 3000Melbourne, it would be our pleasure.

Following the public naming process a name has fi nally been chosen for our newest city icon, the Jim Stynes Bridge will be the centrepiece of the $18 million redevelopment of Melbourne’s Northbank precinct, a partnership between the Victorian Coalition Government and the City of Melbourne.

Planning Minister Matthew Guy said it was an honour for him and Lord Mayor Robert Doyle to announce the naming of the Jim Stynes Bridge, in recognition of a man who gave so much to Melbourne and Victoria and who was loved by so many.

“Victorians were given a chance to suggest names for the bridge through the State Government and City of Melbourne seeking feedback via the

Herald Sun newspaper and there was an overwhelming desire to recognise Jim Stynes in this way,” Mr Guy said.

“Jim’s migrant story, his football career and philanthropy through the Reach foundation are a wonderful legacy and I think it is a fi tting tribute to his life’s work to declare that Melbourne’s newest Yarra bridge will be in recognition of him.

“The new bridge will be an interactive one, with features along it recognising the different aspects of Jim’s life and his commitment to the country that he adopted and which subsequently came to adopt him,” Mr Guy said.

The new bridge is innovatively designed to hover above the Yarra River and will

capitalise on the signifi cance of its location while providing the much-needed fi nal link between Docklands and the CBD.

Its $18 million cost has been fi nanced by $16.5 million from the Coalition

Government, with the remainder from the City of Melbourne, and construction will begin later this year.

“This bridge will be a cycling and pedestrian link, and our Northbank precinct has the potential to be more vibrant than the southern side of the river. The new Jim Stynes Bridge will be a wonderful addition to a new and exciting part of the city that like they did with Jim, all Victorians will grow to love,” Mr Guy added.

In our May issue we featured an article relating to a name sought from the public for the Northbank Bridge, an innovative bike and pedestrian bridge to connect Docklands to the city centre, and which will vastly improve pedestrian and cycling access along the northern bank of the Yarra River.

On a very chilly and windy June 21st night,160 prominent CEO’s took part in St Vincent de Paul’s CEO Sleepout held at Etihad Stadium, which to date has raised a record amount in Victoria, in excess of $570,000 with sponsorship donations heartily welcomed and still coming in.

One familiar face that braved the elements was Destination Melbourne CEO Chris

Buckingham who was struck by the diffi culty of just one night in the cold.

“It was a humbling experience that gave us real insight. It was tough enough backing up and going to work after one night of roughing it. How anyone could keep themselves together after a week in these conditions is a mystery. I think all of us gained a small appreciation of what it

is like to be homeless” Mr Buckingham said.

The CEO Sleepout is St Vincent de Paul’s primary fundraising event where businesses and community leaders right across the country stand up and speak against homelessness. The Sleepout is one of the toughest

and roughest fundraisers of the year held on winter solstice – the southern hemisphere’s longest night.

Chris Buckingham is hoping to increase his $3500 donation tally to further support the important and necessary provision of St Vincent’s homeless services across the country and is optimistic the Melbourne community will assist him in doing so.

“St Vincents are all about giving people a hand up, not a hand out. It is a privilege to be supporting such a worthy cause” added Mr Buckingham.

According to the annual StreetCount conducted by the City of Melbourne recently, more than 100 people are sleeping rough on Melbourne’s streets as winter takes hold.

Managing Director of Atlantic Group of Companies, Hatem Saleh’s participation in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout topped the 160 Victorian CEOs in raising more than $30,000!

“The struggle of homelessness affecting Melbourne families and children is a reality we can’t afford to tolerate and this worthy endeavour aims to highlight just that,” said Mr Saleh

RECORD ATTENDANCE GIVES MELBOURNE FESTIVAL A FUNDING BOOST

MEDIA HOUSE WINS ‘GOLD LOGIE’ OF THE PROPERTY INDUSTRY

Based on last year’s record attendance, the 2012 Melbourne Festival will get a $75,000 boost for tourism funding from the Victorian Government.

“The Melbourne Festival successfully showcases Melbourne’s broad arts and cultural tourism appeal. It also closely aligns with the Government’s highly successful Play Melbourne tourism campaign which encourages people to awaken their curiosity and explore ever-changing Melbourne on a whim,” Minister for Tourism and Major Events, Louise Asher said.

Last year’s Angels and Demons.Parade brought the festival to Melbourne’s streets for the very fi rst time with giant devilish cherubs positioned around Melbourne icons including the

Melbourne Town Hall and Federation Square. The spectacular sculptures, along with a host of international and local acts, brought a record attendance of 925,000 which represents signifi cant growth when compared to the 2010 attendance of just over 500,000.

The Melbourne Festival says the 2011 program also generated an increased economic impact of $83 million which represents more than 50 per cent growth when compared to the $39.5 million generated in 2010.

Member for Caulfi eld David Southwick said the Melbourne Festival was one of the country’s fl agship arts festivals, strengthening Melbourne’s position as the cultural capital of Australia.

The 2012 Festival has also received more than $6.4 million in funding from Arts Victoria as part of a triennial agreement. The 2012 Melbourne International Festival will be held from 11 to 27 October at various venues across Melbourne.

Fairfax Media House has won the ‘gold logie’ of the property industry, the Australian Development of the Year Award, at the 2012 Property Council of Australia / Rider Levett Bucknall Innovation and Excellence Awards.

This fi ve star Green Star development is located at the edge of Melbourne’s Docklands, houses The Age newspaper, Australian Financial Review and 3AW and was completed in 2009. It is owned by Commonwealth Property Offi ce Fund and was nominated by Grocon.

Fairfax Media House beat 101 contenders from across the country to claim the award and also won the ColliersInternational Award for Best Offi ce Development and the Project Control Group Award for Best Workplace Project.

“Fairfax Media House is an outstanding showcase of what Australia’s property industry can produce,” said Property Council of Australia Chief Operating Offi cer Ken Morrison.

An exciting new addition to the southern end of Spring Street will bring new jobs and investment following Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s approval of a signifi cant new residential building.

Standing approximately 166 metres high and facing the picturesque Treasury Gardens, the $200 million, 42-storey development designed by Bates Smart Architects will provide for 180 apartments as well as a ground fl oor restaurant and car parking for up to 306 cars.

“The development’s high quality design continues to ensure that Melbourne’s skyline is developed in a manner that reinforces its reputation as an internationally renowned city. Appropriate setbacks, which increase incrementally as the tower rises, recognise and

respond to the need for neighbouring buildings’ access to sunlight and space,” Mr Guy said.

The development has received the support of the City of Melbourne, the Offi ce of the Victorian Government Architect and the Department of Planning and Community Development.

Conditions on the permit will ensure additional requirements by the proponent to upgrade the public realm in the area by providing public art works in Howitt Lane and to widen the footpath to Flinders Lane at its intersection with Spring Street.

“This is a great building in a great place in a great city” concluded Mr Guy.

The permit will be available atwww.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planning/permits

LIBBY TRICKETT - 2012 LONDON OLYMPIC GAMESBy Lisa Quittner

As the 2012 London Olympics Games approach, 3000Melbourne chatted with gold medal Olympian and World Champion swimmer, Libby Trickett just before she embarks on her third Olympic Games campaign. An outstanding athlete, Libby is loved by Australians for her natural rapport with the public and her fi erce determination to race at the highest level in her beloved sport of swimming.

With only weeks to the 2012 London Olympic Games, what does a week of training entail and how much of that is actually in the pool?

The time is going so quickly! Within a week of training I’ll do 9 sessions in the pool ranging up to two hours at a time, I ride the bike 4 times a week, I run 3 times a week, I fi t in a yoga class and I’ll do heavy weights and gym work twice a week as well as some abs and core training 4 times a week. Altogether it adds up to about 35 hours of training a week.

As part of the 4 X100m relay for the London Olympics, do you train together?

At this point we have our own individual programs but we also have a few relay camps together to practice relay change-overs and to get to know each other better which is really important for the team dynamics and for encouragement and support.

One of the intriguing aspects of swimming at an elite level is that as athletes you compete as a team but also as individuals. Where is the line between camaraderie and competition?

It’s really interesting being part of a relay team, there is the competitive part of you that wants to make the team and be in that fi nal relay at the Olympics but at the same time you want the team to perform at its best. There is a fi ne line to being supportive every step of the way and yet as competitive as you can be as a swimmer and an athlete.

I think as I have gotten older I have realised that if I do everything I can do to the best of

my ability, I am going to make it really hard for the other swimmers, but in saying that, if they beat me fair and square I can’t hold it against them or worry about that side of things, because at the end of the day, whoever makes up that fi nal relay team, I want Australia to do the best it possibly can and if that means I miss out I can make my own peace with that. I really just want every girl on that relay team to perform at their best and I will do my very best to support and help out in any way I can to make sure that happens.

You retired from swimming at the end of 2009 but by September 2010 you announced you were returning, what prompted your decision to return?

It really just came down to the love of the sport. At the time when I retired, swimming had become complicated for me – I placed pressure and expectations upon myself to fulfi l the roles I was playing as an elite athlete. There are media responsibilities and sponsorship obligations, it’s just not as simple as getting in the pool and swimming as fast as you can.

The time I spent away from the sport allowed me to realise that swimming could be as simple as it used to be when I fi rst started and through that realisation my love and joy for the sport returned. I am just so passionate about swimming.

Would you say then that a lot of what it takes to be at the top in swimming is about strong mental discipline and the way in which you harness the pressures?

One hundred percent! I believe swimming is one of the hardest sports to do, particularly over a long period of time, partly due to the amount we train in comparison to the amount of time we actually race and compete. We train so much and we race so little, which can lead to burnout in a lot of swimmers.

Add to that, swimming is a very high profi le sport which is wonderful on one hand in regards to media, sponsorship and public support but the other side of that is the

pressure and expectation that we need to perform at such a high level constantly.

I think you need to have a thick skin as a swimmer and remind yourself that we are not curing cancer or building rockets, we are swimmers. I am just so proud, honoured and privileged to do something I love so much at such a high level and represent Australia at the Olympic Games.

I believe you played a pretty signifi cant part in designing the uniform for the Aussie Team, what was that like?

It was fun. I enjoy clothes, as I think most girls do, but as athletes we don’t get many opportunities to look nice and smart in clothes. We have these amazing female athletes and we wanted to design the uniform to accentuate their fabulous physiques. It was great to be part of it all and Sportscraft did an amazing job!

Undoubtedly you are amongst Australia’s most loved and respected athletes, you exude a warmth about you that we love in our athletes, where does that competitive fi re come that makes you one of swimming’s best female sprinters of all time?

I’m not sure, I’ve always had it, I’ve always been competitive but more so with myself, always trying to be better and constantly improve. I can remember joining my fi rst swimming club at 4 years of age and being hooked on swimming and the competitiveness, I just wanted to be faster every time I got into the water. As an elite swimmer you channel the competitiveness in different ways, I want to win but it’s more about getting faster. I guess it was just part of my nature and my family nurtured it, meeting my husband, also a swimmer and training with my coach has taken it progressively to a whole other level.

The third annual Melbourne Cabaret Festival will burst out across Melbourne with 100 performers, 80 performances over ten nights as one of Victoria’s fastest growing festivals. Bringing the world of cabaret to Melbourne, once again the festival has sourced some of the hottest international and Australian cabaret acts.

Berlin’s favourite cabaret trio and headline act The Fabulous Singlettes; ‘The Paris Walk’ direct from Paris; Candice McQueen in ‘Nasty’ direct from London, and as part of their American Songbook Series the Melbourne Recital Centre presents the ‘Janet Seidel Trio – Dear Blossom’ and Avigail Herman in ‘Hey World, Here I Am – The Streisand Story’.

With over 100 performers in 34 cabaret shows including 8

world premieres, from comedy cabaret, musical theatre stars, theatrical masterpieces, ‘dark’ edgy cabaret, queer shows and burlesque, the festival offers something for everyone.

The Festival is delighted to welcome The Fabulous Singlettes back to Melbourne after a decade’s absence. Having performed with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Peter Allen, Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey, The Fabulous Singlettes neatly exhume the bodies of a glorious era that had most of America’s women performers staggering under the weight of hair-dos and lashings of mascara. Supported by a four piece band, The Fabulous Singlettes are Naomi Eyers, Melissa Langton and Diane Dixon.

Don’t miss acclaimed singer and songwriter Anthony Costanzo

as he is joined by a stellar cast including Rob Mills, Laura Fitzpatrick, Cameron MacDonald, Belinda Allchin, Michael Snell and Zoe Trilsbach. And just so many more, all performing at the 2012 Melbourne Cabaret Festival.

The South Melbourne Community Chest is once again offi cial charity recipient of the Festival.

By popular demand, the hugely popular Sing-A-Long-A Sound of Music is back for three performances only this July.

Hosted by the talented and effervescent Chelsea Plumley, audiences will be guided through an unforgettable interactive experience and tribute to the unique and classic fi lm The Sound of Music.

Sing-A-Long –A Sound of Music is an audience participation event where your host will lead a vocal warm-up, give you a guide to the use of the interactive fun pack and accompanying actions and (with a little help from the audience) judge the Costume Parade - a highlight of the night that separates the die-hards from the dabblers!

Watch the classic movie on the big screen, re-mastered to its original cinematic glory. Admit it, you know the words – and if you don’t there are song-sub-titles so EVERYONE can sing a-long!

An overwhelming force takes over, as delirious fans cheer on Julie Andrews, wolf-whistle Christopher Plummer, hiss the Baroness and boo the Nazis! And who could forget the glorious moment when Maria and the Captain fi nally kiss? Not to mention the experience of 2000 party poppers going off simultaneously as their lips touch!

Audience members have dressed as anything and everything from the movie.... Maria, girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, Plumbers (Christopher Plummers!) the Alps, brown paper packages tied up with string, goats (with or without lonely goatherds), larks that are learning to pray – the possibilities are endless..... limited only by your imagination.

The international ice dance sensation The Imperial Ice Stars make a triumphant return to Melbourne this winter with a dazzling new production of perennial favorite, The Nutcracker on Ice.

This award-winning troupe has built up a worldwide following and established an unrivalled reputation for their sophisticated portrayals of classic works, and for executing the most complex and daring manoeuvres on the ice. Their previous world tours (Sleeping Beauty on Ice, Swan Lake on Ice and Cinderella on Ice) have been greeted with nightly standing ovations and fi ve-star reviews.

For their latest production, The Nutcracker on Ice, acclaimed Artistic Director

Tony Mercer – the world’s leading creator of contemporary theatre-on-ice – has once again teamed with four-time fi gure skating World Champion and dual Olympic gold medallist Evgeny Platov, and dual World Champion Maxim Staviski to create choreography that further raises the bar, with ever more breathtaking high-speed leaps and throws, and awe-inspiring acrobatics, coupled with the most graceful and sublime ice dancing.

Set in early 1900s St Petersburg, this brand new production follows the classic Russian tale of Maria, the little girl whose love brings to life her cherished Nutcracker doll – a magical Christmas gift from her mysterious godfather – leading to adventures with the Mouse King, the enchanted Prince, and the Sugar Plum Fairy.

To Tchaikovsky’s memorable score, the 25-strong cast of World, European and National Championship skaters will astound and mesmerise audiences with their adrenaline-rich, dramatic performance, in the intimate setting of a frozen theatre stage.

The Imperial Ice Stars’ Artistic Director, Tony Mercer, explains “The art form of ice dance lends itself beautifully to this well-loved tale. Not only does the story entail some beautiful romantic ‘adagios’ with lifts and jumps, but the exotic ‘divertissements’ from Spain, China, Arabia, Russia and Egypt allow us to introduce some gymnastics, fl ying, acrobatics and special effects.”

The Nutcracker on Ice 25-29 July at The Arts Centre Melbourne

The Production Company opens its 2012 Season this July with the Mel Brooks masterpiece, The Producers.

Mel Brooks is a comic genius, his musical The Producers is the story of Max Bialystock, a struggling Broadway producer and Leo Bloom, a stage-struck accountant. The two join forces to strike it rich by producing the worst ever musical seen on Broadway. When they receive a musical script from Franz Liebkind, an ex-nazi storm trooper, which tells the story of Hitler’s rise to power in song and dance, they are convinced they have found a show that is guaranteed to offend just about everyone that comes to see it.

This fabulous production stars an equally fabulous cast, Christie Whelan shakes and shimmy’s in the role of Ulla, stage stalwart Wayne Scott Kermond as the opportunistic Broadway producer,

Max Bialystock as well as the talented Trevor Ashley of Hairspray, Fat Swan and Liza on an E fame as Franz Liebkind.

Add to the line up of comedic talent Mitchell Butel, as the over the top theatrical stage director turned star, Roger De Bris who performs the hit, Springtime for Hitler. Brent Hill, winner of the 2011 Green Room Award for Best Male in a Musical (Rock of Ages) is the stage-struck accountant, Leo Bloom who dreams of a life in show business but is afraid to take a chance.

This brand new staging by Andrew Hallsworth and Dean Bryant will star some of Australia’s best comic talents in a company of fi fty singers, dancers and musicians. The cast will perform alongside Orchestra Victoria.

Exclusive to Melbourne Napoleon: Revolution to Empire will bring the legend to life, majestically telling the story of Napoleon Bonaparte, a man who emerged from the chaos of the French Revolution to become one of the world’s most powerful and visionary rulers.

This panoramic exhibition features nearly 300 works, examining French art, culture and life from the 1770s to the 1820s, bringing to Australia for the fi rst time hundreds of objects of breathtaking opulence and luxury – paintings, drawings, engravings, sculpture, furniture, militaria, textiles, porcelain, gold and silver, fashion and jewellery.

Napoleon: Revolution to Empire explores, amongst other themes, the stormy period of social change forced upon France through the outbreak of the French Revolution, the execution of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, and the rise to power of the young Napoleon Bonaparte and his new wife Josephine. Personal items will give visitors a glimpse into an extravagant private world of the couple.

This exhibition also considers the enormous cultural and scientifi c contact between Australia and France from the 1770s to the 1820s. This is a story that is not often told.

On May 31st members of the Retired Waterside Workers Federation returned to Docklands to enjoy a morning tea overlooking the ground at Etihad Stadium hosted by Lend Lease.

Returning to their former workplace, the members recounted stories of their time working at Victoria Harbour back in the days when it was still a working port. 3008Docklands Editor Lisa Quittner, listened to the memories, retelling of the tough conditions they worked under, the deathly cold in the midst of the winter nights, the perilous aspects of the job, but also and most prominently, the mateship and brotherhood that developed and continues on today from working together under such conditions. The Group still meet every fortnight and regularly organise social events, maintaining their connection from the days ‘down on the docks’.

The morning tea was hosted in celebration of the group’s participation in the Docklands Oral History Project which has been led and orchestrated by Dr Moira Scollay and supported by Peter Crowley.

Documenting and recording the member’s recollections of this era in Victoria Harbour’s history will allow these stories to be captured for generations to come and will help

inform the plans for the heritage section of the Docklands Library and Community Centre, as well as help to design the public realm aspects at Victoria Harbour.

Lend Lease Project Director for Victoria Harbour Claire Johnston, made a genuine and generous speech, welcoming and thanking the members for sharing their stories while also outlining the future plans for Victoria Harbour as well as Lend Lease’s intention to preserve, retreat and reuse timbers, tracks and historic items from the area to keep the essence of Victoria Harbour connected to its history. Claire also welcomed the Group’s ongoing involvement and insights with the Victoria Harbour development.

Clearly, the Group enjoyed their morning tea tremendously and appreciated the opportunity to hear about and be part of Victoria Harbour’s future.

Recently I watched a fascinating documentary entitled ‘Page One: Inside The New York Times’. It detailed the fall from grace (and profi tability) of this once

mighty newspaper, whose very existence is now threatened by the migration of advertising revenue from print to the internet. Given Australia is often a few years behind the States with regard to such trends, the documentary made me wonder – do our newspapers here have a future, at least in their printed form?

A generation or so ago, the Saturday Age was a veritable behemoth of a paper, containing as it did the vast majority of Melburnians’ advertisements for cars, houses and jobs. Both buyers and sellers of such things had little choice but to purchase ad space from The Age if they wanted to conclude a transaction.

Over the past ten years, however, internet only businesses such as Carsales, Realestate and Seek have carved profi table niches for themselves in territories once dominated by The Age. And now the board of Fairfax (ie The Age’s publisher) fi nds itself facing some diffi cult choices.

First, in early 2013 Fairfax will change the format of both The Age and its northern stablemate The Sydney Morning Herald from broadsheet to tabloid. In doing so, Fairfax will simply be following a path already well-trodden by Fleet Street icons

such as The Times and The Independent. Tabloid has the benefi t of being both easier to handle and cheaper to print – but ‘quality’ papers need to make sure their perceived high journalistic standards do not shrink along with their page size.

Second, Fairfax has also decided to cut a signifi cant number of editorial staff, a task I thought had already been well and truly completed. While this move will reduce costs in the short term, when combined with the move to tabloid page sizing referred to above, further compromise of journalistic standards may well occur.

Third, the long term future of the printed newspaper must now be in serious doubt. The recent proliferation of tablet computers combined, perhaps curiously, with heightened environmental awareness means that the cost involved with printing, distributing and then

recycling vast quantities of newsprint makes little sense. Just consider how many people already throw out their white and yellow page phone books

the moment they arrive, thanks to the existence of smartphones and Google?

Within a decade it’s more than likely the Monday-to-Friday editions of our newspapers will exist in electronic form only. Printed weekend versions will hang around for a while to enable café dwellers the ability to ingest coffee while lingering over news, but the trend is clear - newsprint will soon become a thing of the past. If this seems hard to believe ask someone under the age of 25 just how often they purchase a physical newspaper. Their answer will almost certainly not feature a large number…

Get MovingDon’t use the weather as an excuse to give up and do nothing or slow down your already active lifestyle. Here are some tips:

• Use your head – Think of different ways to be active during your work day. When was the last time you took the stairs instead of the lift, parked the car further away, or walked to a colleague’s desk to speak face to face?

• Don’t get left in the dark – Make the most of daylight hours; stretch your legs and get away from your desk. Walk, run or organise a lunchtime team sport.

• Don’t do it alone – An exercise partner will help keep you motivated and accountable.

• Try something new – Find an indoor exercise class or heated pool. An RPM a bike riding class will increase your energy levels & burn 300+ calories.

• Set goals – Set realistic winter goals and reward yourself.

• Safety fi rst – Cold temperatures can make your muscles tight and prone to injury – thoroughly warm up prior to exercise and wear layers of clothing.

Keep HydratedDrink up! It’s important to stay hydrated in winter even though you may not feel overly thirsty. Water carries oxygen and nutrients to every cell and tissue in the body, regulates body temperature and fl ushes out toxins.

• Start your day with a glass of hot water and squeeze of fresh lime or lemon to give your digestion a boost.

• Keep a jug of water on your desk & drink regularly. On the go? Take a bottle with you.

• Schedule your sips – The “Drink More Water” reminder tool is FREE, get it at http://bit.ly/DrinkWaterReminder.

• Alternate your beverages – At your business lunch alternate water with other beverages such as coffee, tea or alcohol.

Food for Thought

Reaching for those comfort foods combined with less activity often leads to weight gain. Keep in control by being wary of the quantity and quality of food that goes into your body; and you’ll be thanking yourself come Spring.

• Soup! Make soup a part of your regular winter diet, it decreases hunger and reduces kilojoule intake.

• Avoid products that are unfamiliar, unpronounceable or contain high sugar or fat content. Read the label – is sugar a main ingredient? If so, ditch it!

• Shop at fresh food markets where possible. Time poor? Have it delivered to your offi ce via Freshexpress.com.au.

Here are my top tips for all stages of life:

Wealth Accumulators:

1. Goal setting: Have you considered what goals you’d like to achieve before June 30 2013? This could involve debt reduction (pay down the mortgage?), saving for a holiday, or create a savings plan to make your fi rst million.

2. Set yourself a budget: It’s boring, but even if you truly want to know what it feels like to be in control of your destiny, know where your money is going and where you want it to go. It ties nicely in with goal setting…

3. Pay down your mortgage: Interest rates are now historically low and may fall sooner. Now is a golden opportunity to repay more principal whilst the interest charges are lower.

Pre-Retirees:

1. Investment stock take: If retirement is on the horizon now’s the time to look at what you have and what income you need to satisfy your needs in retirement. Will your assets be enough to fund your retirement needs? If not, what needs to be done now to ensure you have enough?

2. Review your salary sacrifi ce arrangements: Assuming the mortgage is almost repaid, consider funneling additional pre-tax money into super. Contributions are taxed at 15%, but be careful, from July 1 contributions across all ages were capped at $25,000 per annum. If you had previously been sacrifi cing up to $50,000 you will need to review this to ensure you do not get caught out.

3. Consider a transition to retirement pension: If you are 55 years of age and still working you now have limited access to your superannuation. Consider salary sacrifi cing to super (see point above), whilst drawing an

account based pension from your balance, up to a maximum of 10% of your fund balance. Benefi ts: contributions capped at 15% tax, super earnings become tax free and pension income is concessionally taxed on the way out, or tax free if you are over 60.

Retirees:

1. Draw a pension from superannuation: Generally speaking it makes a lot of sense – » Super pensions for over

60s are tax free.

» Your fund will cease to pay tax on earnings or realised capital gains.

» If you are under 65 and retired, any unwanted income can be re-contributed tax free to super.

2. Consider consolidating personal assets into super: The tax benefi ts of super have been previously detailed. Once you reach age 65 and are retired you can no longer contribute to super. Prior to that you can place tax paid funds of $150,000 per annum, or $450,000 in a three year period into your super fund.

3. If you are drawing a pension from your super fund, double check you do not have any lingering amounts still in accumulation paying unnecessary tax.

4. Draw down your taxable components fi rst: This one is a little tricky. It may be that within your fund you have multiple pensions operating. One may consist of taxable components and other non-taxable components. Draw down taxable components fi rst and save your benefi ciaries some tax when you die.

3000 WELLB

EING

By Nicole Hutcheson - Kinesiology Practitioner & Instructor

There is quite a bit of confusion about nutritional supplements and whether or not we need them. The argument against, is usually the opinion that we should be able to get all of our essential vitamins and minerals from our food. That is correct. We absolutely should be able to. The problem is- most of us don’t. There are many reasons why this is the case.

A majority of people simply do not eat enough- or enough variety of- fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats to get their required amount of nutrients needed for optimum health.

Convenience often is a higher priority. We too regularly eat in cafés and restaurants, buy pre-packaged meals, or pick up a take away on the way home from work. If we do cook ourselves, very often the ingredients we use are heavily processed and come from packets, tins, cardboard boxes, or is precooked and frozen. All of this processing has a major detrimental effect on the nutrient content of what we are eating.

Even when we think we are making the right food choices, we can’t actually be sure of the quality of food we are eating. The fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket is fi lled with produce that has been picked before it was ripe so nutrients are not yet fully developed, then stored and frozen for many months. Often it is then gassed with a man-made hormone to fi nish the ripening process, ready to be displayed in the shop. Widely available are packets of pre chopped fruits and vegetables that look tasty and fresh, but you have to wonder what they add to keep it looking that way. An apple starts to turn brown within minutes of cutting it, and yet the fl esh stays white and fresh looking for weeks pre-chopped in a packet

on the shelf. The cooking process also has a negative effect on the food. Cooking in microwaves and over cooking can deplete the nutrient level in fruits and vegetables.

So while it is possible to get all of our required vitamins and minerals from our food alone, you would need to spend a lot of time planning, preparing and sourcing organic food, buying it directly from a market or the farmer, and eating it fresh and mostly raw. If you don’t have the time or desire to do this, then you would probably benefi t from supplements.

Supplements do not replace a healthy diet, nor are they an excuse to eat badly. They are simply a gap fi ller to ensure you are getting everything you need to help maintain optimal health. I am often asked how long you need to continue taking a supplement for. The answer is, as long as you are not getting the required amount from your food. You can change your diet to include the nutrient, or you can keep taking the supplement.

As with food you can buy, not all supplements are of the same quality. Many are synthetic and have no natural ingredients in them.

Others are made from cheap ingredients that you would not usually choose to eat such as tree bark or pond algae. Sure they have some element of nutrition and are a natural product, but I would rather take supplements that are made from real food.

To build a foundation of optimal health, we need to make sure we are using the best quality materials, so a ‘whole food’ supplement is important. An indication of a good supplement is one that makes you feel different when you take it. Many people start taking vitamins and stop after a while. This is because they don’t notice a difference in their health so they forget or lose interest. You will remember to take a good quality supplement, because you feel better when you do. You can visit my website for more information on the highest quality supplements I personally take, and recommend in my clinic.

In my articles over the next few months, I will be taking the confusion out of individual vitamins, minerals and oils, by telling you what they are, what they do in your body and signs that you may be defi cient.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS -WHY DO WE NEED THEM?

By Tahlia Mandie – Psychotherapist & Family Counsellor

There is a new “must have” going around. Well, so I hear anyway. All of a sudden, Fifty Shades of Grey is the book that everyone is reading, everyone should be reading, and if you are not reading it, you are supposedly missing out. I had not heard about this book

until a week ago. Now, all of a sudden, it is all I am hearing people talk about. So I cannot help but wonder… what makes something a “must have”?

Is it the feeling of peer pressure and not wanting to be left out? If you don’t read it, there is a feeling that you are missing out on something huge and extraordinary. Is it the knowing that if everyone is talking about it… well it must be good, right? Do we all want something because everyone else has it? Or are we creatures of curiosity that need our imagination fulfi lled?

Wherever we go, whoever we socialise with, no matter how young or old there seems to be a “must have” everywhere we turn. Whether it is the latest Yo-Yo with school kids, or the ‘it’ movie in town that all our friends are seeing, or the latest gadget and gizmo… the “must have” question and answer seem to have always been there. So I continue to wonder if we fear being left out, or fearful of not having it all. Maybe the “must have’s” keep us all entertained, keep it interesting and keep the spice in our lives. If this is how it is, then it’s something worth getting my hands on.

EXECUTION IS KEY

A shake is like an expresso shot of protein. The best time to gulp down your shake is immediately after exercise. No matter what type of exercise you do, your body will need the protein to start the process of recovery and rebuilding.

Another good time for a protein shake is to use it occasionally as a meal replacement, and I do mean occasionally, the shake cannot become your regular breakfast or lunch! If you are pressed for time, a shake is better than skipping that great healthy meal you had planned.

THE SIMPLE SCIENCE

• The body requires more energy to digest protein than other foods and as a result you burn more calories after a protein meal.

• Protein is an essential building block for the body, it helps generate, maintain, and repair muscles in the body.

• Protein helps to stabilize blood glucose levels by slowing the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. This in turn reduces hunger by lowering insulin levels and making it easier for the body to burn fat.

• Protein helps maintain a healthy immune system by increasing the levels of

glutathione in the body. Glutathione is an anti-oxidant required for a healthy immune system. Exercise and resistance training may reduce glutathione levels.

• Protein helps keep your body healthy and strong to perform at its best.

BEST SHAKE

We recommend an all natural (no synthetic) and non dairy protein shake for fat loss. This is the healthiest form of protein shake and with a non dairy base reduces fat intake.

dluxe use and endorse an all natural, vegan, dairy free, nut free and gluten free protein shake by Arbonne. Each serve has 20 grams of protein just over a 1/4 of your daily intake. The Arbonne Essentials shake has the added bonus of being packed with Vitamin A, B6 and B12, C, D, E, Niacin and Folate. It comes in yummy chocolate and vanilla fl avour.

FIGHT THE FAT WITH A SHAKEProtein shakes are not new, they have been around for decades. What is new is they are not just for body builders. Those in the know have realised that by adding protein shakes to their diet and exercise regime they can increase muscle build and lose fat faster. It’s time to shake the fat away.

BOOK REVIEW BY REBECCA HOWDEN A CHAT WITH MELBOURNE AUTHOR - BRAD KYLE

‘Blood’ byTony Birch

An absorbing and affecting story about the bond between siblings and the strength of children in a world where the adults are unreliable,

Blood is an impressive contender for the 2012 Miles Franklin Award.

This is the fi rst novel from Tony Birch, author of the short story collections Shadowboxing and Father’s Day and longstanding creative writing lecturer at the University of Melbourne. Through his sparse, unadorned prose, Birch vividly evokes the harshness of the Australian landscape, and his mastery of pacing creates a sense of immediacy and tension that makes this book almost impossible to put down.

The story is told from the perspective of 13-year-old Jesse, who has shouldered most of the parental responsibility for his eight year old sister Rachel ever since she was born. Their mother - the careless, unstable Gwen, who refuses such an aging label as “mum” and who has a “habit for latching onto men who were good with their fi sts” - seems incapable of providing the sort of care they need. Jesse, jaded by Gwen’s endless promises, is fi ercely protective of his little sister, and with the ritualised merging of blood from their fi ngertips, he vows to always shield her from harm, no matter what the cost.

Gwen drags them all around the fringes of civilisation, from the outback to suburbia and back again. They live hand to mouth, staying in abandoned farms, sharehouses and seedy motels wherever they can. Only a brief stay with Gwen’s father gives the kids any kind of stabilising infl uence, a glimpse of a different way of living. Then, almost imperceptibly, the novel shifts into darker territory, and it becomes a gripping chase story, where loyalties are tested and risks are taken with almost sickening consequences.

Birch captures Jesse’s voice with considerable authenticity, balancing the naivete of youth with that certain kind of maturity born of a tough upbringing. He has insights beyond his years, but he is still very much a kid. The relationship between Jesse and Rachel gives the narrative a compelling emotional centre, and some scenes - like the Christmas spent with Pop, when the children receive their fi rst real Christmas presents - are almost heartbreaking.

The other great strength of Blood is the vividness of the sense of place. The quietness of the dusty, parched roads and wide open plains compound the subtly escalating sense of danger, building a feeling of suspense that will have you engrossed until the fi nal page turn.

‘Memoirs of a Pilgrim’ by Brad Kyle

Once in a while, each of us will partake in a defi ning moment in our lives. Sometimes, the moment roars with a voice of grandeur, other times it is as quiet as a mouse. Whether a struck-by-lightning revelation or a gradual process that slides along like a fl owing river, the result will inevitably lead to a changed life.

For Brad Kyle, it started as an innocent conversation at a pub in London, and ended in a long walk nearly ten years later. Spurred on by the unexpected death of his father (and the rekindled memory of the Thames-side chat), Brad travelled to Spain and walked the Camino trail.

Stretching nearly 800 kilometres from Saint Jean Pied de Port in France, to Santiago de Compostela in the west of Spain, the pilgrimage was in every way, his ‘defi ning-moment’ experience. Though the Camino offered its fair share of physical challenges, the journey was as much internal as it was external.

What inspired you to walk 800km across Spain?

The death of my father was the most important factor, closely followed by a deep desire to radically change my boring existence.

What did you learn along the way?

Amongst other gems, that true surrender to an experience - whether good or bad - will always bring a beautiful sweetness to life. Also, if you’re going to walk across

a country, make sure to pack more than just shorts for the trail!

What was your impression of the pilgrimage?

The Camino has an amazing spiritual quality to it. Maybe it’s the result of centuries of plodding pilgrims, or perhaps it’s just the simplicity of walking a million steps, connecting again with the earth along the way.

Why did you write about your trip?

From a very young age, I dreamed of being a published author. Walking the Camino radically changed me as a person, smashing the self-imposed roadblocks that delayed that dream for a couple of decades or so. What better way to start my writing career than to craft - in words – a fi tting tribute to this incredible journey.

By Lisa QuittnerWell sometimes you have to keep the best until last as a prelude to the next issue. In speaking with the enchanting and personable, Rhonda Burchmore it seemed fi tting to conclude our July issue on a high note, or should I say, a more sultry and husky note?

This August, after rave reviews and sell-out shows at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival and Brisbane’s Powerhouse, Australia’s sexiest chanteuse Rhonda Burchmore brings Cry Me A River: The World of Julie London to Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre for 5 shows only.

Throughout her career Rhonda Burchmore has made a distinctive impression on

audiences with her dazzling dance steps, superb comic timing, effervescent personality and impressive voice. Backed by a ten-piece band, Rhonda dims the lights as she slinks into the world of one of America’s most mysterious sirens, Julie London. Taking audiences to the West Coast cool jazz scene of the 1950s and 1960s, she tells London’s story through a mix of sensuality and humour.

With a song list that includes some of the great tunes of the era, Rhonda teases the audience and captures London’s effortless style while showcasing some of her biggest hits. Her timeless songbook includes Cry Me A River, Let There Be Love, Saturday Night,

‘S Wonderful, You’d Be So Nice to Come Home To, Daddy, Black Coffee, Hello Dolly and The Party’s Over; written by legendary composers Cole Porter, Jules Styne and George & Ira Gershwin among others.

3000Melbourne enjoyed speaking with the delightful Rhonda Burchmore about her new to Melbourne show - Cry Me A River: The World of Julie London.

What attracted you to produce ‘Cry Me A River: The World of Julie London’? Did you feel a connection with the artist or more so with the legendary music of the era?

I grew up listening to the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn as well as the musical theatre types like Barbra Streisand, but there was something about Julie London’s voice that even as a kid I always loved. I’ve always loved those cool West Coast Jazz sounds and among my L.P’s I had ‘Julie Is Her Name’, which was the very fi rst album Julie London released of the 32 albums she recorded and I remember thinking that she was just such a glamorous and sultry red head.

How long did you work on creating the show before performing it to sell out shows at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival and Brisbane Powerhouse?

It was about 8 years ago that I started to research about Julie London and her music mainly because there were so many songs that I used to sing of hers. Then I found out that her story had never been told biographically in terms of a show. Last year I received a call from David Campbell who was running the Adelaide Cabaret Festival who wanted to collaborate on a show with me but wanted to do something different from the leggy showgirl type of thing and I just thought that this show would fi t like the proverbial glove. We got great reviews at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival and following on from that Gary Young tweaked the piece a bit before we took it to Brisbane. It’s been a work in progress but we are now ready for our Melbourne audiences at the Comedy Theatre this August.

Do you have a favourite number or particular highlight you perform in the show?

It’s not just because I am doing the show, but across my career I always get a buzz singing this material, it’s what I feel I was just born to sing, sometimes I think I was born in the wrong

era. It’s hard to pick favourites but I really enjoy singing Blue Moon and Black Coffee.

How diffi cult is it for you as a widely recognised artist to portray or capture the essence of another artist, I would imagine you would feel quite a bit of responsibility in creating a show like this?

The crazy thing is that people probably know me better than Julie London in this country, but I make it very clear from the onset that I am not trying to impersonate Julie London, I am just telling her story musically as honestly as I can through singing her material.

Your career spans over 30 years, you are a house hold name and when Australian’s think of the queen of cabaret your name comes to mind. How do you keep your body and energy levels in such good shape to perform show after show?

I’m lucky with my genetics I guess. I am an absolute shocker when it comes to going to the gym or anything like that but I am a very active person. I’m not one of those girls that sits and “does lunch”. I am always on the go, I have my two Standard Poodles that I walk with and I’m just not one to ever sit and read or watch telly, I’m a pretty active person naturally.

What do you love doing in Melbourne, do you have a favourite place or thing to do?

Apart from what I do professionally, my other passion would have to be shopping, I am, and unfortunately my daughter has inherited the gene also, a self confessed killer shopper. I love going to the city and visiting those gorgeous laneways for cupcakes and good coffee too but I really love shopping. I love those fi ne little boutique stores and arcades in the city and it just doesn’t feel right if I don’t come home with at least 8 shopping bags from all sorts of shops.

The other thing I love about Melbourne is the extraordinary wealth of art galleries and the exhibitions at Federation Square. Apart from art and shopping I would say occasionally going out for a slow dinner with a good glass of wine is just gorgeous.
