managing editor’s noteWelcome to map magazine’s 126th issue and our last issue for 2010. This time last year I made the comment that I was glad to see the end of 2009 as the impact of the financial crisis had well-and-truly left its mark. This year, I am happy to say, has been the opposite and in fact it has been map magazine’s best-ever year thanks to an improved marketplace and the extraordinary efforts of the wonderful team at map. Last issue we launched our partnership with charity: water to raise $5,000 to build a water well in Africa. We asked if you could help us out with small donations and I am pleased to say that, as we go to print, we have just $250 left to reach our goal – we are going to get there! Thank you so much to all those who donated – the water well will provide fresh drinking water to a village for a lifetime. Next year is an exciting year for map magazine as it enters its twelfth year in the Brisbane marketplace. In 2011, we will continue to share the inspirational journeys of dreamers, following their greatest triumphs and greatest challenges, and pass on their inspirations and words of wisdom, so that our readers might be inspired to pursue their own dreams in life. We will also continue to focus our editorial on the boutique, the authentic, the charming, the inspiring, the connected, the considerate and the undiscovered in the hope of enriching your lives with a little joy and inspiration. Media is one of the single most influential aspects of our society and, as an arbiter of media, map magazine recognises its responsibility to use its influence to effect positive social change. I would like to say a big thank you to our advertisers who support us, and to the team at map for providing such a wonderful year and giving map the opportunity to ‘live and breathe’ in the community. I wish you a wonderful festive season and a rewarding 2011. Remember to dream ...

retrodreamerFREYA STARKArmed with a blank notebook and a fearlessness not to be trifled with, Freya Stark was a travel writer in a class of her own. She dreamed of a world where travel was not viewed through eyes of fear and mistrust, but rather seen as the key to unlocking history. The intrepid wanderer trekked through dangerous valleys in western Iran, long winters in the Arabian Desert, and took treacherous journeys on foot, camel and donkey.

“wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.” ANATOLE FRANCE“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” RALpH wALDO EMERSON

editor’sMEMOThere’s that certain feeling that overwhelms you as you prepare for an overseas adventure – the heart flutters, the stomach leaps and the mind races as you contemplate the unknown journey that lies ahead. What’s glorious about this feeling is that it’s a sign that we’re pushing ourselves beyond our comfort zone – challenging ourselves to experience things that conflict with everything that is familiar to us. For me, placing myself somewhere entirely outside my comfort zone is one of the things I love most about travel – because that’s when you really start to see glimpses of the true beauty of the world and of your own self. The map team is amidst packing its bags before dispersing to all corners of the globe, and wanderlust has imbued our office with abandon. So wherever the summer takes you, may it bring you to worlds exciting and unknown. mikki Brammer, Editor mikki@mapmagazine.com.au

“There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do.”

MAvERICk» ›retreatAnything that happens to be prefaced by the word ‘ace’ has undoubtedly earned its reputation for nonchalant cool and maverick tendencies. And that’s certainly the case for Ace Hotel & Swim Club, in Palm Springs, California. Amongst its long list of cool traits are its penchant for sustainability, communal fireplaces and garden patios located throughout the hotel, and the fact that canine companions are not only allowed, but encouraged. Then there’s the addictive grooming products from Rudy’s Barbershop, a rocking live music scene and the bohemian decor that combines vintage furniture with all the neccessary mod cons. @ www.acehotel.com

RuSTIC » ›candleAs a long working day comes to an end, eyelids gradually begin to grow incredibly heavy and a dimly lit sanctuary is suddenly very appealing. Cherished for their sweet aromas and dim flickering light, candles are the preferred evening lighting choice for many. The vintage candle range from Le Labo is a contemporary twist on the traditional design of the candle. The hand-poured candle is housed in a distressed vintage tin, making for a unique and eye-catching ornament. The candles are made from 100% soy wax and pure cotton wicks and will burn for approximately 50 hours. @ www.lelabofragrances.com

TRAvEL » ›companionWhen you look at an old suitcase, do the butterflies in your stomach begin to flutter madly at the thought of wrapping your hair in a silk scarf (or donning your driving gloves) and taking off to somewhere unknown in a 1950s-style convertible? Or perhaps setting sail on a majestic old steamliner? While it is easy to be seduced by the charm of a vintage suitcase, the fact remains that older suitcases rarely meet the needs of the modern traveller. Combining elegant vintage style with modern functionality, Steamline Luggage is durable and secured by a leather strap and combination lock, while larger pieces are fitted with wheels. @ www.steamlineluggage.com

FLIGHT » ›saviourSpending hours on end sitting squarely upright in an aeroplane seat can be an uncomfortable experience to say the least. The unwritten law of air travel seems to state that when you finally do start to doze off, the air hostess must open the sunshade and make the air conditioner several degrees cooler – effectively fending off any hope you had of whittling the hours away in a peaceful slumber. Let the air hostess know you are serious about catching some shut eye by draping yourself in the impossibly comfortable cashmere Emilia travel set. Available in grey and taupe. @ www.sofiacashmere.com

One of life’s great luxuries is a long, relaxing soak in the bathtub. But what could make such a luxury even more special? Perhaps if you were basking in the glow of a Tanzanian sunset while watching elephants stroll majestically across the African plains, all from the comfort of your bathtub. Such an experience is an everyday reality for guests at The Retreat in Tanzania. Nestled in a remote part of the Selous Game Reserve, the uniquely opulent retreat sits far from the chatter of other tourists and is set to a backdrop of unspoiled African bush. This secluded safari experience is not for the itinerary driven, but rather for those who like to holiday at their own leisurely pace, surrounded by pristine nature, roaming exotic wildlife and impeccable dwellings. The retreat itself is designed on the principles of Feng Shui, intended to co-exist in harmony with its natural surroundings, with decor inspired by the historical elements of Africa, Arabia and Asia. Awaken to the sounds of the African bush serenading you, and fill your days with leisurely walks, safaris around the expansive game reserve, or simply revelling in the unique scents and visual splendour of Tanzania.

kate hunterCHILDREN’S BOOk AuTHOR/uNIvERSITY OF quEENSLAND pRESS what is your profession? I am the author of Mosquito Advertising, The Parfizz Pitch, an adventure for readers aged 9–13 years. It was published in June 2010 and is the first in a series of three books about an advertising agency run by kids. As well as writing, part of my job is visiting schools. I enjoy this as much as the writing. what training or qualifications do you need to fill this role? No formal qualifications. Storytellers come from all kinds of backgrounds. You do need a feeling for a story, an ear for language and the ability to entertain. The ability to write is also important, but grammar can be fixed up, while a dud idea is always a dud idea. what are the key skills and responsibilities of the role? The ability to entertain. If your story isn’t engaging, it doesn’t matter how beautifully written your prose is. I don’t necessarily believe in ‘writing for children’, I simply wrote a story they like. How did you get involved in your profession? I became an advertising copywriter after I realised I’d make an appalling journalist. Advertising is about making the truth more interesting, without telling lies. I was good at it and I loved it. After 20 years and three kids, I came up with the idea for a story about a bunch of kids who start an advertising agency. It became Mosquito Advertising, The Parfizz Pitch. I started writing it, showed it to a published author who sent it to my publisher and I was offered a contract. It has been described as ‘The Famous Five meets The Gruen Transfer.’ Could you break into the industry in other ways? I was very lucky to have been published so quickly. But I guess I knew my subject – 20 years is a long time in advertising, so I knew how to write. There are lots of courses and clubs for aspiring authors. I’d recommend the Queensland Writers Centre, which offers really great programs. what do you hope to achieve within your industry? I would like to be a professional author – to make my living from writing fiction. Are you in the industry for the long term? Yes, books take a long time to write, edit and publish. I have lots of ideas for other books, children’s and adults, but I have to be strict with myself and finish one project before I start the next. I hope to have the Mosquito Advertising Series completed by 2012. what advice would you give someone looking to emulate your success? Just write, and don’t be afraid to show your work. Cultivate a thick skin. Did you always think you would be in this role? Not really. I am quite lazy and if I hadn’t got a contract as quickly as I did, I don’t know if I would have finished writing the story. what was your first paid job? I was a checkout chick at the Night Owl Convenience store on Milton Road. what would you love to do if you weren’t in this role? Host talkback radio. what inspires you? Wonderful stories that are not defined by an age-group. To Kill A Mockingbird is read by Year 10 students, but loved by all ages. John Marsden’s Tomorrow When The War Began series and Harry Potter are read by both children and adults. I think great stories are not defined by demographics. who is your rolemodel? Enid Blyton. Apparently she wrote 10,000 words a day, everyday. what are your words of wisdom? If at first you don’t succeed, try something different.

“Just write, and don’t be afraid to show your work.“

“Take every opportunity to learn as much as you can.“

sarah vasiliadisSALES AND MARkETING MANAGER/NISSAN FINANCIAL SERvICESwhat is your profession? I am the State Sales and Marketing Manager for Nissan Financial Services (NFS). NFS is a manufacturer-backed finance company that provides competitive wholesale and retail funding to Nissan franchise dealers, as well as to the end customers who purchase Nissan vehicles. what training or qualifications do you need to fill this role? Ideally, you would hold a bachelor’s degree in a finance-related discipline and have extensive knowledge of consumer- and commercial-dealer lending and dealership financial operations. what are the key skills and responsibilities of the role? Excellent relationship management and presentation skills, performance management skills and you definitely need to be passionate, innovative and results driven. It’s important that you are a creative thinker, as you are always looking for new and adventurous ways to market your products to the masses. How did you get involved in your profession? I started as a temp for a finance company in 1999. My first role was collecting on deceased estates – it was not a very enjoyable role, as I had no customers to talk to! Could you break into the industry in other ways? Yes, of course. Many people in the industry start off selling cars and work their way up through the dealership levels into a corporate role. There are always opportunities for people who want to put in the hard yards. what do you hope to achieve within your industry? A sizeable superannuation fund for when I retire and travel the world on my super yacht! Are you in the industry for the long term? Yes. I love the people in the automotive industry – they are what makes going to work so enjoyable. Once you work in the auto industry you never want to leave. what advice would you give someone looking to emulate your success? Work hard and take every opportunity to learn as much as you can. This is a male-dominated industry but, once people realise you deliver results, they will slowly develop respect for you. It is also important to remember that people do business with people – building meaningful relationships is critical in any profession. Did you always think you would be in this role? Not at all. I have never been a car enthusiast so to end up in the automotive industry and subsequently love it was quite bizarre for me. what was your first paid job? I was employed by the local Italian restaurant whilst I was at university. I can cook a mean Spaghetti Carbonara as a result. what would you love to do if you weren’t in this role? The dreamer in me would love to own a farmstay on a secluded beach, where cows and horses roamed free and I would grow all my own vegetables to cook for my guests. I feel relaxed just thinking about it! what inspires you? People who are passionate and enthusiastic about everything they do. Being able to find inspiration in even the smallest things gives you a positive and constructive passion to grasp. The more you strive towards that goal, the more positive you can become. who is your rolemodel? My mum and dad. They have taught me the value of hard work and the importance of family. what are your words of wisdom? Work hard. Play harder!

BOwEN HILLS » ›coffeeEver the coffee connoisseur, Di Bella Coffee now presents the beloved bean in yet another variation. The syphon method is a coffee-brewing method that uses the expansion and contraction of water vapour to brew coffee. The original prototype was invented in the early 1800s, and commonly found in Japan for years, the syphon is regaining popularity amongst local coffee enthusiasts. This brewing technique meticulously filters the coffee, producing a clean, crisp, delicate and rich flavour compared to other brewing methods. You can get your hands on one (best enjoyed with Single Origin Costa Rica Herbazu beans), at the Di Bella roasting house. @ www.dibellacoffee.com

HOLLAND pARk » ›sparkle‘Tis the season of the Christmas soiree, which means plenty of excuses for frocking up or donning a dapper suit. For the ladies, one of the key finishing touches to a cocktail ensemble is a stunning pair of earrings – the kind that, when you tilt you head coyly, catches the light and glimmers elegantly against your glowing skin. The Caressa Cut Diamond Drop Earrings from Stephen Dibb Jewellery are designed to capture the movement of the earrings when they are worn. Now to find the perfect dress to match them. @ www.sdj.com.au

BRISBANE » ›epicureWhen it comes to the ultimate epicurean experiences, it seems that the denizens of Brisbane know what they like. The competition was stellar in this year’s map magazine EAT/DRINK awards 2010/2011, proudly sponsored by Yalumba, and voting was neck and neck. Those who emerged the winners are undoubtedly deserved of their titles, but the impressive line-up of nominees is certainly a great indication of the burgeoning food scene here in our sunkissed city. Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote in this year’s awards – for a full list of winners, head to the map magazine website. @ www.mapmagazine.com.au

INDOOROOpILLY » ›christmasFor many cultures, Christmas is a far from luxurious affair, with families in developing countries barely able to afford to get by on a daily basis, let alone spare money for Christmas presents. While we are far more fortunate here in Australia, we can make a small change to our Christmas shopping that will make a big difference to such communities. The Fairtrade Christmas Market 2010 will take place again this year, offering an array of fairtrade, ethical and hand-crafted products that help to support developing countries and contribute to a fairer global community. The markets will take place on December 4 and 5 at Nudgee Junior College. @ www.fairtrade.com.au

With the current redux of the bicycle as a primary form of transportation, comes the issue of how to transport all of your belongings. While baskets are an attractive option, if you swerve suddenly or hit a pothole, your load could be lost. A stylish and practical solution is the Market Bag. Made from tough, rugged waxed canvas and oil-skin leather, the Market Bag will travel securely on the back of your bicycle. The bag comes with a shoulder strap so you can carry it upon arrival at your destination and the sides roll up neatly when not in use. @ www.linusbike.com

MODERN ¨ ¨ ¯wonder

Affectionately coined the ‘father of modern science’ by Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei was part of the minority who believed the sun was at the centre of the universe. As well as inventing useful instruments like the military compass, Galileo also made evolutionary amendments to the design of the telescope. Four-hundred years later, Milan designer Odoardo Fioravanti has recreated Galileo’s masterpiece. The one-metre-long telescope is made from wood – the same as Galileo’s – and features high-quality modern lenses. The telescope has three different eye pieces, allowing you to spy on your neighbours and gaze at the moon with the one instrument. @ www.objectandline.co.uk

adamFERGUSON

INTERvIEw BY FraNcES FraNgENHEIm

When I reach Aussie lad Adam Ferguson by phone, he explains he is in New York’s Union Square, crouching between a cafe and a bus stop trying desperately to find a pocket of quiet in the city that never sleeps. Based in Laos with his girlfriend, Adam is visiting the Big Apple for a round of client meetings, which is pretty exciting considering he freelances for big wigs like TIME Magazine and The New York Times. He is also published in Vanity Fair, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Stern, The Financial Times Magazine, The Sydney Morning Herald, UNICEF and Human Rights Watch, among others.

Despite his impressive client list, Adam sums up the pressures of being a freelance photojournalist when he says the phone very rarely rings with offers of new work. “You have to be incredibly independent and incredibly motivated,” he says, noting he’s only started to seriously push his international career in the past two years. “Most of the time I manifest my own work. And it’s a mix of pursuing personal work and contacting clients when I get there.

After a while, people recognise your dedication to a story.”

This proactive approach helped Adam secure his first gig with TIME Magazine in 2009, a moment he counts as one of his biggest career successes. He self-funded his first trip to Afghanistan and pitched it to TIME’s editors. “They ended up slightly reluctantly putting me on assignment for them,” he recalls. “I think they would have preferred to hire one of their famous photographers who covers the war for them a lot …” Fortunately, a TIME correspondent was keen to join Adam on his trip so the editors agreed.

Most daunting for Adam was that it was the first cover story he had ever worked on and the first time he would enter a combat situation where he was sure to come under fire. Would he handle it emotionally and capture the high-quality material he needed? If he failed, he could kiss goodbye any hope of working for TIME again. Adam rose to the challenge and his pictures were published on the cover of all four TIME Magazine editions

as a young boy in coffs Harbour, adam Ferguson daydreamed about being a spy. These days he works as an award-winning photojournalist so some might say his childhood dream transpired. adam, 32, jokes he has a few things in common with secret agents: he receives an email with a mission and, if he accepts, he gets on a plane and lands in a foreign country (albeit armed with cameras rather than guns), embarks on making new contacts and hunts for the story. It’s James Bond without the martinis and pretty girls. gags aside, adam’s the first to admit there is nothing romantic about a career in photojournalism, especially in conflict situations. Flick through his web portfolio (www.adamfergusonphoto.com) and you’ll see how reality bites: heroin slums in India, suicide bombings in afghanistan, and illegal dwellings in Pakistan. adam says it’s a lonely job and a fickle industry but his passion for storytelling gets him through.

worldwide in the same week. “It definitely boosted my career getting a TIME Magazine cover quite quickly. I had a really big response to it.”

This year, Adam’s work in Afghanistan has earned him a raft of industry awards, including first prize at the World Press Photo Awards for his image of the aftermath of a suicide bombing in Kabul. The same stirring photo won him third prize in the 2010 Pictures of the Year International, as well as another first prize and an award of excellence. He was also awarded first prize at the recent Reportage Festival for a photo series on the conflict.

Adam spent most of 2010 travelling on assignments, including four trips to Afghanistan to be embedded with US soldiers, often in combat under fire. While he does not solely cover war, his current work is focused on Afghanistan. He is due to return in January 2011. There he’ll no doubt encounter much the same as he has before – dust storms and suicide bombings, mortar attacks and ambushes, disheartened and exhausted soldiers and innocent civilians caught somewhere in between.

Adam’s job is full of heartbreaking scenarios he has no power to stop or fix but what he can do is work for a better future. He is resolute about what he wants to achieve with his career.

“With the body of work that I am doing in Afghanistan, I want to create further dialogue about the military presence in Afghanistan,” he says. “… And I’m not as naive to think that my pictures will have a direct impact on the conflict today or tomorrow or even in the next few years, but I think it’s important to create a historical record and document for future reflections so our global society can evolve to a more positive place.” He intends to one day publish a book and launch an exhibition of his complete work there.

His work has this year earned him representation by the VII Photo Agency, an esteemed boutique agency specialising in international conflict photography. He was delighted to be selected to join their VII Network, consisting of just 15 photojournalists.

It’s fortunate that Adam found his calling as a photojournalist, considering he was thrown out of his photography subject in high school in Coffs Harbour for bad behaviour. He didn’t consider photography again until he was

21 when he thought sports photojournalism sounded like a fun career choice.

On a whim, he enrolled in university and was accepted to Queensland College of Art in Brisbane. Armed with his mum’s manual camera from her uni years, he pitched up to class on the first day. “I was absolutely clueless,” he recalls. Thanks to his lecturer David Lloyd, whom he counts as one of his most influential mentors, Adam stumbled across the photo documentary genre and from that moment on he “became a storyteller with a camera”.

He graduated in 2004 and took a deckhand job on a yacht cruising The Caribbean. He saved enough cash to buy a laptop and digital camera and headed to Central Mexico to freelance, albeit without much success. An eight-month stint followed at his hometown rag, the Coffs Coast Advocate, and a short post at Sydney Morning Herald.

“I remember the crew telling me photojournalism was dead and there was no work,” Adam says. “And I remember thinking, ‘You know what, bullshit man. I’m going to do this.’” He moved to Paris in 2006 to intern at the VII Photo Agency and worked alongside company founder Gary Knight – another great mentor – who was last year quoted as saying: “Adam has everything it takes to be one of the bright stars of the future. He takes the issues he is photographing more seriously than his own ego, and I like that. It’s rare.”

Adam’s head is definitely screwed on when it comes to the realities of his industry because he knows the real driver has to be a passion for storytelling. “At the end of the day, photojournalism is a pretty fickle business and if you’re not doing it because you love it then you may as well not keep doing it; you’re not going to be successful at it anyway,” he warns. His advice to young photojournalists is to be passionate and “believe in your work”.

One of the job hazards is loneliness and Adam admits there are times when he feels like giving up. But his words of wisdom for himself are that everything’s going to be alright: “Whenever I get in a situation where I feel a bit self-indulgent, or worried, or upset or lonely, I think it’s always good to think about the people who are in a worse situation than you are. And you instantly realise that you’re going to be OK.”

TIME » ›keeperWhile we may think very little of it when we see an aeroplane fly overhead, the fact that such a large and cumbersome metal structure can defy gravity remains just as magical as Mary Poppins’ handbag. The shape of an aeroplane’s wings slices through the air in a manner that allows the aircraft to become airborne. Inspired by the lines of aeronautical engineering that facilitate this mystical feat is the LX73 range of watches. Designed to offer a utilitarian design and reflect the grandeur of aviation, these striking timepieces reflect the accuracy of aviation design, but are a lot simpler to use. @ www.tsovet.com

ROpE » ›appendageSeventy-five-thousand years ago, the inhabitants of Africa fashioned beads from snail shells and created the first known pieces of jewellery. As time whittled away, jewellery design and production has evolved into one of the world’s largest industries. Taking things back to basics is the Nara necklace from the Spanish designers Itunube. The necklace offers a refreshing, simple design that resembles a length of rope.

TRADITIONALIn the 1500s, the first form of modern toothbrush came into being when Chinese dentists took the hair from pigs and attached it to animal bone or bamboo. Dental hygiene has come a long way since then, but for those who like to groom with a spot of nostalgia, Taylor of Old Bond Street still makes a bone-handled toothbrush (although there’s not a swine hair in sight).

for a year, during which time the city of Melbourne captured his heart. “Melbourne was the first place I visited that felt like a home away from home,” he recalls fondly. “So when I had the opportunity to come back it was always the place where I was going to set up camp.”

But at that stage, Martin was unable to resist the itch in his feet compelling him to explore the world. So he picked up his backpack once again and resumed his global wanderings. “I just wanted to see new things and to change my perspective,” he recalls. “I probably didn’t realise it at the time but, in hindsight, that’s what I was after. Seeing the poverty in India and, inversely, the level of happiness, I was just amazed. That experience really made me aware of the world’s social injustice and so that’s what I decided to focus on in my work.”

When he eventually returned to settle in Australia, Martin looked to combine his two passions – writing and travel. Much to his glee, he discovered that the headquarters of the world’s largest travel publisher were actually in Melbourne. Even better, they were looking for new editors and had granted him an interview.

So out of pocket he couldn’t even

afford tram fare, Martin legged his way across Melbourne in a suit. At the interview, he was asked to tell a travel story. Thirty minutes later, Martin had finished what he was sure was the longest-ever travel story, about a God figure he’d come across in India. Sure that he had bored his interviewers to tears, he trudged back on foot to the other side of Melbourne, convinced he had blown the interview. But a few weeks later he was surprised to hear he’d won the job – purely on the merits of his marathon travel tale.

Martin’s career at Lonely Planet was a writer’s dream – working as an editor on guidebooks and starting a new series called World Food (later described by Lonely Planet co-founder Maureen Wheeler as “the most critically acclaimed and commercially disastrous” series they had ever done).

Following World Food, Martin commissioned himself to write two books – on India and Ireland – thus commencing his career as a bona fide travel writer. He spent the next few years flitting about the world writing city guides for Lonely Planet, which required of him the enviable task of landing in European capitals such as Rome, Barcelona and London, soaking up all the culture for several months and then turning that knowledge into

an interesting guide for visitors.“I absolutely loved it,” Martin

marvels of his time as an inveterate traveller. “But there comes a time in everyone’s life when you have to grow up and settle down a little bit. Being away so much was disruptive on my home life, so I eventually had to give it up. The last book I wrote was a city guide to Dublin, so I felt I had come full circle and it was a good time to leave.”

It was while he had been living the whirlwind life of a Lonely Planet travel writer that the seeds for The Slow Guides first began to germinate. “I always used to lament the fact that I would have to leave out the colour, texture and detail that meant the most to me about the travel experience, and just strip it back to the bare facts,” he recalls. “And when I’d come back to Melbourne from a research trip overseas, I’d always feel like I was seeing the city anew. I was seeing something familiar but with the keen eye of a travel researcher and observer. I had the idea of creating The Slow Guides, which comprised all that colour, texture, detail and nuance that had to be removed from travel guides.”

But before The Slow Guides eventually came into being in 2006, Martin took an unexpected detour from travel and spent a few years as

“For as long as I can remember, I’ve just wanted to make a positive impact on the world,” Martin Hughes muses, recalling his childhood dream growing up in Ireland. “Not by devoting myself to charity like Mother Teresa, but I wanted to have a normal life and live a comfortable lifestyle, but at the same time have a positive impact.”

Unsure exactly how to bring such aspirations into fruition, Martin followed his passion for words and studied journalism at university. He then began work as a freelance journalist, working in the news arena, before he was headhunted for a public-relations job. But he soon realised the corporate life wasn’t for him and traded in his suit and tie for a backpack and a desire to explore the world outside Ireland.

The opportunity arose for the young Irishman to come to Australia

The morning sunlight gently caresses your arms as you wander through the marketplace, your senses piqued by the melange of scents. Snippets of jovial Spanish whirl around you, as a rosy-cheeked old man with eyes that sparkle amiably coaxes you into sampling one of his organic peaches – freshly picked yesterday, he affirms with a wink. You find it hard to resist the golden hues of the plump fruit, and as your teeth break the tender skin, a rush of flavour fills your mouth and ignites your senses. The juice dribbles down your chin, your hands are gloriously sticky – and you are in heaven. Small but joyous moments like these compose some of the greatest delights of travel. But very rarely do you find a guide book to such experiences. after a stint living the high-flying lifestyle as a travel writer for Lonely Planet, martin Hughes realised that it was the ‘slower’ experiences of travel that he treasured most. Inspired, he envisaged the concept for The Slow guides – a series of travel guides that celebrates the local, natural, traditional and sensory experiences of a city.

editor of The Big Issue. Offered the job temporarily when the publication was in a spot of HR turmoil, Martin was impassioned by the fact that if he didn’t take the position, more than 200 vendors would be without a means to earn money. Immediately, he knew he had found his niche, energised by the fact that he could finally use his skill set to make a difference. “Prior to that I had kind of felt a bit useless – there were so many things I wanted to change and it was overwhelming and daunting,” he reflects. “I didn’t know where to start or where I could make a difference. I realised that it was okay to be more passionate than pragmatic.”

After recruiting a new team, Martin spent the next few years revamping the magazine and eventually managed to double its sales and help it to become self-sufficient for the first time.

During his time at The Big Issue,

Martin also had the opportunity to get to know the late Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop (whose husband Gordon started The Big Issue in London), who quickly became a great inspiration. “We got along great,” Martin recalls fondly. “We just seemed to share the same philosophies, visions and frustrations.”

Martin finally left The Big Issue to follow his dream of bringing The Slow Guides into fruition. Inspired to add a dash of practicality to the philosophy of living a slower existence, Martin created The Slow Guides as a way of introducing aspects of slow into your lifestyle. “Rather than making a big seachange, The Slow Guides are a practical way of weaving strands of slow into your lifestyle,” he explains. “They’re about celebrating the little things and focusing on things that are local, natural, traditional, sensory and, most of all, gratifying about living

somewhere. It’s about celebrating quality over quantity, pleasure over pressure, and mindfulness over mindlessness. The core philosophy of The Slow Guides is ‘influence by delight’ – infecting people with enthusiasm for an alternative lifestyle and way of thinking.”

Since publishing The Slow Guide to Melbourne in 2006, with guides to Sydney, London and Dublin soon after, Martin and his team have dedicated themselves to gently peeling back the layers of a city to reveal to locals and travellers a world of simplicity, nature and sensory joy to discover. “I’m really inspired by the people who I meet while researching The Slow Guides, who are doing extraordinary things on a small scale that are making a positive difference,” he enthuses of his work.

As for his other inspirations, there are two in particular that light up Martin’s days. “The best thing about

where I am today is being the father of twin two-year-old girls,” he beams. “Now my desire to make a positive impact has kind of morphed into simply wanting to do something that makes them proud. And that’s not about earning a heap of money, but rather setting an example of doing something I enjoy while managing to get by in life and also making a positive impact.”

But just because he finds the joy in life, it doesn’t mean that Martin’s life is pure joy. “I wouldn’t want anyone to think that just because I try to make a positive impact in the things I do that I’m naturally predisposed to being that way,” Martin affirms amiably. “I can be just as sad or frustrated as the next man, but you have to work at positivity and you reap what you sow. If you adjust your life and work hard at being optimistic and a positive influence on others, that’s what’s going to happen.”

When employing the term ‘intimate’ to describe a hotel, a few select criteria must be met. As you step across the threshold of the establishment, a sense of homecoming should engulf you, flooding you with ease, leaving stresses at the door. Ideally, as you make your way through communal areas, an overall aura of privacy and discretion should prevail. And thirdly, art, interior design and unflappable service should flawlessly entwine to create a totally indulgent experience. Capturing the finest elements of intimate boutique accommodation, Spicers Balfour Hotel in New Farm extends a homely welcome towards the guests of the nine-bedroom establishment. At once intimately private and strikingly aesthetically pleasing, the large renovated Queenslander provides a luxurious oasis for locals searching for

a romantic getaway, or corporate travellers in need of unique lodgings. A harmonious colour scheme of soothing blues, regal purples and rich amethyst tones adds to the hotel’s chic interior, from luxurious lounge chairs, to striking feature walls. Every guest is personally greeted upon arrival, and welcomed into a calm, inviting environment, complete with a private bar overlooking the Story Bridge. From hand- picked Egyptian lighting fixtures casting an intricate glow across impeccably designed rooms, to an expansive open verandah complete with a manicured courtyard garden, not a single inch of space remains forgotten. This little slice of luxury speaks for itself when capturing an intimately unique atmosphere.

INTERvIEw BY mIKKI BrammEr

what was your childhood dream?To become a soccer player for FC Bayern-München.what first sparked your love for travel?When I was between 16 and 20, I spent every summer break buying an Interail ticket and touring Europe. In those four years I did the entire Mediterranean – every year I’d do a different segment of it. That’s really when I fell in love with travel.what drew you to hotels in particular?It was more of a coincidence. After studying public relations, I started a travel and events business. It was the ‘80s and the beginning of house and techno music, so on the event side I was organising raves. There was a very big movement here in Germany, particularly when Love Parade started in Berlin. I was among the first rave organisers and lined up the DJs. At the time I was sharing a flat with a close friend who had started his own interior design business. He had a furniture store and there were always these interesting pieces coming in. The first pieces from Philippe Starck were coming out and I started to collect pieces from the Royalton series that he did for The Royalton Hotel in New York in ’87. He happened to be doing a touring exhibition and a mutual friend of ours had a furniture store in Vienna and I was invited – that was the first time I met Philippe Starck. From him I learned all about The Royalton and The Paramount, which were really the first two hotels I was introduced to. I realised that there were two parallel things happening. On the one side there were these hotels, and on the other side there were all these young

people who were excited about the parties we were doing. I knew that there was something happening with hotels and pop culture. The way Starck designed them was very expressionist and so he got a lot of attention around the world. But for me it was already clear at that point that it was more than the design – it was a sort of demographic movement. These hotels were exactly the type of hotel the people who were coming to our raves were looking for. They didn’t want to go to the dusty old grand hotels, but they also wouldn’t go to a chain hotel. That was in around 1989–90, just after the opening of The Paramount. I didn’t have a business plan back then. I just followed a gut feeling that something was going to happen. what sets boutique travel apart from larger luxury hotels?I think the whole niche of the industry is still going through a revolution. Even Design Hotels need to reinvent and reconfigure themselves because now design is a very common thing in hospitality. There are a lot of modern hotels but there is a big difference between one that is part of our Design Hotel organisation and one that is just a contemporary hotel. Back in the early ‘90s, it was good enough just to have a contemporary design and you would be published in every magazine around the world. But now, magazines get so many interesting images from so many different hotels that the whole thing has become far more complex. I think what is crucial to a hotel’s success today is the connection to a neighbourhood. It needs to be integrated into the local fabric, where locals interact with visitors.

To those born with an innate sense of wanderlust, the experience of waking up in an unfamiliar place is a pure delight. But there are places that, despite their unfamiliarity, feature design so thoughtful, so intuitive, so bespoke that you can’t help but feel right at home. They are fleeting abodes that offer you a unique experience that at once surprises and comforts you, and reveals a charming side of your travel destination you never knew existed. For a growing global community of astute travellers, this is the design Hotels experience. With a shrewdly curated stable of just over 190 hotels across the world, german founder of design Hotels claus Sendlinger and his heralded hoteliers are on an interminable quest to redefine the boutique travel experience.

why are more people turning to boutique travel?It’s not just in the hospitality industry that it’s happening. It’s like the anti-movement to Globalisation is occurring. More and more companies are saying that they need to ‘think global, act local’ but not many of them are executing it right. With Design Hotels, our product has a very particular clientele who are well travelled, and have a tremendous network of, and access to, information. They are very affluent and are always looking for the secrets of each destination – they want to find more than the obvious. How do you see boutique hotels evolving in the future?I think the concepts will become more hybrid and experimental, like art galleries or hospitals with rooms in them. I believe there’ll be entire villages, perhaps in rural areas, that were protected from the huge real estate waves of the past 30 years and will be rejuvenated and recreated with hotels that search for a heartbeat. The creative class will leave the city to live in a more rural environment, and so travel will be on the flipside where they go back to the cities to re-energise. what makes a Design Hotel?Every year we get around 350–400 applications, but we are very selective and accept only around 8% of those. It’s more holistic – we really analyse the concept, the amount of room, room size, public areas, integration with the neighbourhood and the people behind it. And only then do we start to look at the actual design and architecture to see if it reflects the concept. Sometimes people want something very subtle but they choose the wrong designer for it or the wrong destination.what has been your greatest challenge?In the beginning of Design Hotels it was very difficult because we had no business model, and during the ‘90s, there weren’t many hotels that fit our philosophy, so it was very hard to get it off the ground. It really wasn’t until 2002/2003 that things started to take off.what has been your greatest achievement?I think that’s for other people to judge! I’m very proud of the consistency and belief in Design Hotels and that we haven’t given up on it or compromised it for anything. We are working on creating a whole package that composes the Design

Hotels experience. By 2012 I hope that we will be able to have created a seamless experience for members of our community that encompasses things like our Design Hotels Book, our iPhone apps, our travel blog and other things along those lines. We really are trying to create a worldwide community through Design Hotels.what inspires you?My travels. Not necessarily a particular experience, but I think it’s about adding stepping-stones as you go along. It’s more about the little things that give you the chance to look into the next era. When you have the chance to travel a lot, you see that great minds think alike and you meet people around the world who are working on similar kinds of concepts. I travel for six months of the year and my favourite destination is always the next one – especially the ones I haven’t yet been to. There are still a lot of places I’ve yet to explore, but I really would like to go to Nepal. where do you find peace in life?Sitting in a window seat on an aeroplane. what is your dream now?There are very interesting times ahead of us and a lot of opportunities. I think we are close to coming up with the idea of connecting our Design Hotels community in a very seamless, interesting, easy-to-use way that blurs design, architecture, culture and content with new devices and both online and offline publishing. what are your words of wisdom?Follow what you believe in.

five sisters art house cafe141 FISH LANESOuTH BRISBANET. 3846 5904For the Melides family, the ties that bind are firmly centred on a collective love of good food and uninhibited laughter. For the creative lasses (and their mother) behind Five Sisters Art House Cafe, a hidden courtyard in South Brisbane’s Fish Lane posed an opportunity too good to be missed.

CupdualityA quick glance at the Double Cup and you might think it was one of the Holy Grail-like artefacts one might find in the home of Indiana Jones. Upon closer inspection, however, it becomes apparent that this cup is actually a very clever tea-drinking tool. Leading an interesting double life, the Double Cup acts as a vessel for short blacks and small espressos one day, and the next its world is literally turned upside down as it becomes a vessel for a large morning coffee. Economical and attractive, Double Cups make the humble teacup pale in comparison. @ www.mahno.com.ua

REvEREDrelishWhen it comes to the art of chutney and relish, our grandmothers know it best. Possessors of recipes that have been cooked by generations of women, their knowledge of condiments is unquestionable. The Regimental Condiment Company creates condiments made from recipes that have been handed down through generations. Inspired by a fascination with military history and the idea of paying homage to the family recipe collection, the range of condiments was born. @ www.regimental.com.au

FREuDIANespressoThe design of the French press was, ironically, patented by an Italian designer in 1929. The simplistic design allowed coffee savants to brew high-quality coffee in the comfort of their own home. Throughout the decades, however, those on laundry duty have been frustrated by the trail of unsightly coffee stains left on the tablecloth in the wake of the French press. A solution to satisfy both parties, the Freud French Press has been crafted to deliver a clean pour with its drip-free spout. @ www.shophorne.com

EXOTICoilKnown for their positive impact on cholesterol levels, olive oil and the olive tree are heralded by many as symbols of wellbeing and vitality. Passanha olive oil is a feast for the senses with its delicate texture, natural golden-straw colour, and aromas of herbs, green apples, pepper and hazelnut. The quality of the oil is attributed to the fertile land on which the olives are grown in Portugal, and the process of extracting and storing the oil immediately after the olives are picked. The oil can be used as a salad dressing and is also suitable for cooking. @ www.passanha.eu

the legacy. an elder’s vision for our sustainable future BY DAvID SuzukI

The greatest journey of all, a journey into the mind of another person. A person steeped in the environment, its past when we were fewer, and a future that we cannot imagine. Three men, spurred on by the great woman Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, have coaxed society into taking a judicious look at itself. First, invent technology. Second, sap the earth of its energy sources. Third, pollute the world that nourishes; Fourth, multiply so that soils cannot provide for you. Fifth, accept that change must happen if Homo sapiens is to be a sustainable species. The men? Attenborough, Flannery, Suzuki. Sustainable or not? It’s up to you!

john steel singers tangaloomaBY dEW PrOcESS, 2010

Local boys John Steel Singers have had a whirlwind few years, having become such stalwarts of the Brisbane music scene that it’s hard to believe that Tangalooma is their debut album. But that it is, and a stellar one at that. Complete with the catchy tunes the boys have made their signature, the fondly named Tangalooma – inspired by childhood trips to Moreton Island – is a great soundtrack for summer. Engineered under the sage musical eye of The Go-Betweens Robert Forster, Tangalooma is a vibrant debut for the beloved indie-pop six-piece.

dorothy ashby the jazz harpistBY HarrISON JamES mUSIc, 1957

When it comes to the heavyweights of jazz, it isn’t often that a jazz harpist emerges as king or queen, often outshone by the maestros of piano, saxophone and trumpet. But Dorothy Ashby used her dexterous plucking and insatiable rhythm to morph what is usually confined to whimsical classical stylings into a veritable instrument of jazz. Her 1957 release The Jazz Harpist features great examples (such as ‘Aeolian Groove’) of her uncanny ability to draw a bebop sound from the harp, as well as more ethereal tracks such as ‘Stella by Starlight’. Dorothy’s works are still sampled by modern-day hip-hop artists.

rosemary clooney white christmasBY cONcOrd rEcOrdS, 1996

Though it has been more than 50 years since its release, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas still remains one of the most quintessential films of the festive season. It was Bing Crosby’s charming crooning that captured the hearts of viewers, but jazz chanteuse Rosemary Clooney also shone with vivacious elegance. Forty-two years later, Rosemary released a Christmas album inspired by the eponymous classic film in which she starred. White Christmas is a beautiful jazz Christmas album, filled with traditional takes on the classic carols imbued with the extra jazz panache of Rosemary’s silky vocals.

kings of leon come around sundownBY SONY mUSIc, 2010

If the gents from Kings of Leon were worried about living up to the success of their previous album, Only by the Night (Australia’sbiggest selling album of 2008), they needn’t have worried. Come Around Sundown, the group’s fifth album, continues their distinct musical journey. While in the past they have been compared to the likes of The Strokes and U2, the lads remain firmly focused on forging their own unique path in musical history. The first single from Come Around Sundown, ‘Radioactive’, is an energetic rock track that sits alongside a host of other worthy songs that compose the album.

Brisbane choreographer Claire Marshall confesses she hasn’t had much shut-eye of late. She jokes she lives on one hour’s sleep per night but perhaps that’s the magic formula for dealing with a punishing workload. Over the past 10 years she’s carved her own choreography career in a precarious industry with 16 shows and more than 20 music clips and tours. In 2010 alone, Claire has produced four dance shows, including two independent shows and a new video dance piece, Pitch, for Ausdance Queensland, which toured Southeast Queensland, as well as choreographing for Brisbane songstress Megan Washington’s new music clips, working on TV commercials, and mentoring at workshops and residencies.

As we speak, Claire, 35, is in the midst of rehearsals for her final show of the year, Slowdive, a dance- performance-cum-installation in collaboration with 10 “amazing” dancers, largely from Brisbane. She is crafting the ultimate nightclub experience and exploring her fascination with non-traditional theatre by placing dancers and audiences in the same space to observe and be observed. Like any good night out, there’ll be sweaty strangers, loud music, dark corners and bar staff with attitude. There’ll be people who intrigue you and others who disturb. Whether you watch from afar or up close is your choice.

Claire explains Slowdive is the

penultimate development of her Hey Scenester show. Its first development was in 2009 in the Judith Wright Centre shop front as part of a three-week Ausdance residency and its second development was in January 2010 at Brisbane Powerhouse. “Slowdive is basically the show that I wanted Hey Scenester to be but

I didn’t have the time or the money to create it back then,” she says.

Both pieces draw on Claire’s love for music and her observations of the club scene and its scenesters while DJing and running music nights in The Valley in the ‘90s, and working in a record store for many years. In Hey Scenester she took viewers on a voyeuristic dance journey and invited them to share the dance floor with their favourite characters – the DJ, bar man, club owners and fellow punters. It explored the good, bad and the ugly side of indie clubbing culture in the ‘90s and celebrated The Valley’s grit, grunge and reckless spirit.

When Claire took the gutsy approach to self-funding Hey Scenester in January, her aim was to catch the

attention of funding bodies in the hope they would fund its full production. Fortunately, it paid off and Hey Scenester enjoyed a sold-out season.

Arts Queensland came to the party with funding and the Brisbane Powerhouse offered its support too. Thanks to this backing, Claire is able to produce Slowdive to her true vision

in December at the Visy Theatre.Claire’s simple words of wisdom

to herself are: “You make it happen. Be positive. Don’t doubt yourself.” This attitude has been her driver ever since deciding to study dance and choreography from age 21 at QUT.

“I was pretty determined when I started uni, and I was more mature at 21, so I wasn’t sitting around waiting to have the next composition handed to me,” Claire recalls. “Throughout uni I did three of my own shows and I had them filmed. I’d then show them to people to try and get more work.”

This approach helped score Claire her first music-clip project choreographing for Savage Garden’s world tour in 2000. While waiting for the next job, Claire developed her skills

through projects for friends and her brother, Grant Marshall, who works as a film director at Blacklab International.

Word of mouth kicked in and jobs started to flow. Claire has since choreographed music clips and tours for Powderfinger, Little Birdy, John Butler Trio, The Sleepy Jackson and Kate Miller Heidke among others. “I guess it was a combination of those early contacts, positive word of mouth, good-quality work and being persistent,” Claire reflects. She will also draw upon her music-video work to present a new piece in October 2011, created as part of a Fresh Ground arts residency in February at the Judith Wright Centre.

Claire has never considered giving up, although she does admit the early years after uni were tough. “There wasn’t a lot of support for independent artists back then – it wasn’t like it is now with Ausdance,” Claire notes. “I felt a bit alone and very scared that I wasn’t going to be able to do what I wanted to do with my life. I’d put four years of my life on hold to do this!”

On her advice to young choreographers – “Don’t do it,” she laughs, but on the flipside she says the creative rewards are worth the sleepless nights and financial strain. Her dream now is to keep developing quality new independent work and to keep learning. “This year has been a huge learning curve and I am hoping this will continue. I hope I can be of value in terms of what I contribute to dance and the people I work with.”

THIS YEAR HAS BEEN A HUGE LEARNING

CURVE AND I AM HOPING THIS WILL

CONTINUE. I HOPE I CAN BE OF VALUE IN TERMS

OF WHAT I CONTRIBUTE TO DANCE ... ”

If you love to dance in the dark because you think no one is watching, think again. Brisbane choreographer claire marshall dJed the upstairs decks for three years at favourite Fortitude Valley haunt, ric’s Bar, and there she observed plenty of punters as they danced the night away. This material in part inspired her sold-out show, Hey Scenester, in January and its latest version, Slowdive, showing at Brisbane Powerhouse from december 3–11. With Slowdive, claire is reliving the old-school grit and grunge of Fortitude Valley’s indie club scene and inviting audiences to join in too. Her vision is to push the boundaries of traditional theatre to blur the line between stage and seating, performer and punter.

THE FILM BLUE VALENTINE

One night, one hotel room, one last chance. A love story that reunites two lovers, Cindy (Michelle Williams) and Dean (Ryan Gosling) try to save their disintegrating marriage. Blue Valentine sweeps back and forth between time periods to illustrate the beginning of a found love, contrasting with the present where that love is on the verge of destruction.

THE FACE MICHELLE WILLIAMS

At the age of 15, michelle Williams not only earned her high-school diploma, but also legally emancipated herself from her parents, due to their disapproval of her becoming an actress. Her first big break was in Dawson’s Creek, before her celebrated role in Brokeback Mountain where she met her ex-fiance Heath Ledger. Michelle takes on a passionate and intense character in Blue Valentine.

THE FILM SOMEWHERE

The roguish life of Hollywood star Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff) is interrupted when his 11-year-old daughter, Cleo (Elle Fanning), shows up for a surprise visit to his suite at the Chateau Marmont. Cleo’s unexpected visit forces Johnny to make changes to his wild lifestyle in Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere, which questions the Hollywood existence.

THE FACE STEPHEN DORFF

Absent from the public eye for a few years, Stephen dorff is best known for his roles in The Power of One, Backbeat and horror film Blade, and also starred in music videos such as Everytime by Britney Spears, Rollin’ by Limp Bizkit and Cryin’ by Aerosmith. Stephen has a talent for playing the rebel, and turns heads in Sofia Coppola’s critically acclaimed Somewhere.

THE FILM SARAH’S KEY

Sarah’s Key is based on the novel by Tatiana De Rosnay and follows the life of 10-year-old Sarah Starzynski (Mélusine Mayance) and her family who were imprisoned in the Vélodrome d’Hiver in 1942. Sixty years later, journalist Julia Jarmond (Kristin Scott Thomas) uncovers secrets that link her to Sarah, causing her to reconsider her own future.

THE FACE KRISTIN SCOTT THOMAS

From working in a department store, to pursuing a career as a drama teacher, and then working as an au pair in Paris, Kristin Scott Thomas finally landed a career as an actress. In the early days of her career she was told she had no future in acting, but proved her critics wrong with star turns in films such as The English Patient, The Horse Whisperer and Easy Virtue.

THEATRE the gruffalo’s child JANuARY 5–23@ LA BOITEwww.laboite.com.au

The Gruffalo was confident that he had laid out the house rules clearly and firmly. Sticking to the methods explained in all the parenting books, he had rationally explained to his daughter that rules are in place for a reason. Despite all his best efforts, curiosity gets the better of the Gruffalo’s little daughter, and she sneaks off to the snow-covered forest, in search of the elusive Big Bad Mouse. La Boite brings to life The Gruffalo’s Child, with a captivating display of puppetry and laughs for the younger generation of theatregoers.

It’s Christmas Eve, a sprinkling of snow falls gently against the windowpane, as Clara and her brother Fritz stare wide-eyed at the heavily decorated tree, weighed down by trinkets and treats. The pair eagerly await the festivities to come. Little do the children know that their evening is going to take a dramatic turn towards a magical world where toys come to life, gingerbread men dance and the beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy steals hearts. Set to Tchaikovsky’s captivating score, the Queensland Ballet showcases The Nutcracker this festive season.

CONCERTthe gothicDECEMBER 22@ CONCERT HALLwww.qpac.com.au

Embracing the challenge, Australian musical talents will undertake The Gothic for the first time it has ever been performed outside Britain.

what attracted you to performance art?I was very much inspired by the ritual and ceremony of the Catholic Church and the wildly different creative expressions of other cultures. Ritual/performance connects us all to greater wholeness. where does your creativity come from?Creativity is an internal desire to interpret one’s world, contribute to human experience and be larger than oneself.How do you ‘fuel’ that creativity?To be an artist is to be a revolutionary.

I’m convinced that art represents the greatest human endeavour and a pathway to all knowledge.what do you love about what you do?Greater knowledge and awareness comes through persistence and facilitates a contribution on various known and unrecognised levels.what would you like to achieve through your work? Humanity has constructed financial, academic, sexual and religious walls, which limit us. I am part of the growing energy to liberate ourselves from these.

theatrical sounds. Artisan instruments delicately created from glass and wood add to the creative musical showcase.

happily married couple Tom (Jim Broadbent) and Gerri (Ruth Sheen) as their lives morph into retirement.

TEXT BY cEcILIa BOUgHENpHOTOGRApHY BY JamES dU PLESSIS

FRANCEla tourette Located on the outskirts of the town of L’arbresle,

just 29 km north-west of Lyon, the convent of Saint-marie de la Tourette is not only a religious centre for dominican monks, but today is also a place of pilgrimage for many architects from around the world. designed by the famous French modernist architect Le corbusier in the late 1950s, La Tourette is an inspiring example of modern religious architecture, with its concrete structure and contrasting elements. But when I make my way there in the early French summer, what I am most amazed to find is not just an incredible building, but rather an aura of peace and calm that surrounds me from the moment I enter.

As my train pulls in to Arbresle train station, I am thankful for having made it that far, given the calamity of train delays from Lyon that sees me arriving three hours late. In a panic, I jump into a taxi and quickly find myself being driven down the tree-lined entrance to La Tourette, hoping desperately that I can still get in despite arriving more than one hour after it has closed for the day.

This is when my magical time at La Tourette begins. On the entrance, I find a lovely note from the host for my stay, Frere Marc, asking me to call him so that he can let me in. He quickly arrives to open the door for me into this wonderful place, and explains that the brothers are in the middle of eating dinner, so we head straight to the refectory.

There I am greeted by five other brothers and a separate table already set for me with cold meats, fresh vegetables, bread and wine. It is simple home food, but it is incredibly delicious. Listening to the brothers chat amongst themselves, it really feels like being in a family home. They generously share their pasta and homemade olive oil with me, but the true treat reveals itself when they rise to open the curtains. Unveiled before me is a beautiful view of fields and the town below, as the sun sets over the scene that fills the west-facing glass wall running the length of the refectory. I drink my wine with the sun on my face, and marvel at how amazing the world is.

After dinner, Frere Marc offers

to take me on a quick tour. Despite the fact that the courtyard is full of scaffolding due to restorations now into their fourth year, La Tourette is a breathtaking example of modern architectural genius mixed with the religious symbolism that marks many of the world’s great buildings.

Naturally, this potent mix is at

its best in the church at La Tourette. As I enter the holy sanctuary, a single ray of light streams through a slit at the top of the highest concrete wall, lighting up the ceiling three storeys above, as though the heavens were breaking through into the dark, near-windowless space.

Below this light, set against the stark concrete wall, sits a magnificent organ – a centrepiece of its own in a cantilevered square concrete frame. A thin brass cross at the other end of the church is positioned so that the light from another slit in a window hits it as the sun sets, giving it a fire-like glow burning brightly to light the room. Other windows frame the edges of the church, filtering light in through coloured shafts and making the space

feel joyous in the simplest way. I am overwhelmed with a sense

of peace and happiness as I make my way out into the fields surrounding La Tourette. The wind is cold, but as I watch the sun drop behind the hills in the distance, swallows sing their final songs for the day whilst dancing about in the air around me,

and I take a moment to fully appreciate just how lucky I am to be here.

I spend the night in one of the cells that were originally designed for the Dominican students to stay in, but are now used to house the many tourists who flock to La Tourette every year. The rooms are small and are furnished with only a single bed, desk and chair, small wardrobe and a wash basin. But the added pleasure to each room is a little balcony with picturesque views out over a field laced with wildgrass and flowers.

After a cold night, I awaken early to join the brothers in the church for morning prayer. Alone in the church with the six of them, I listen as their simple songs resonate in this amazing space, remarking at what a wonderful

way it is to awaken the mind and spirit. After morning prayers, I am shown the crypts, another awe-inspiring space that is hidden from the view of the main church area. Marc explains to me the religious symbolism beautifully translated into the physical structure of La Tourette by Le Corbusier. The building is raised above the ground on pylons ensuring the brothers live their lives on a higher plain between Earth and heaven. The crypt, however, is positioned on the ground, following the slope of the land beneath it, ensuring that the brothers are grounded and sit with the people on the earth when they pray. As Le Corbusier commented during his design of La Tourette: “The lowest place becomes the highest, the highest the lowest.”

Finally, I settle down for a quiet breakfast alone in the refectory, basking in the morning sunlight, this time streaming in through the windows on the eastern side. I then head back to my room to prepare to leave for my onward journey.

As I wander slowly down the tree-lined driveway and along sun-lit country roads for the half-hour stroll to the train station, I am thankful for my time in the presence of the calm souls of the brothers. But mostly I am grateful for the opportunity to experience the majesty that can only be felt in such a grand building when you stand within its walls, and simply breathe with it for a while.

I LISTEN AS THEIR SIMPLE SONGS RESONATE

IN THIS AMAZING SPACE, REMARKING

AT WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY IT IS TO AWAKEN

THE MIND AND SPIRIT ... ”

TITLE MuSIC FILM BOOkS FASHIONE N T E R TA I NIt has been said that you should never judge a book by its cover, but what about the book’s title? When browsing the shelves do you lean towards the cheesy title, or the clever title with literary references only an English scholar would recognise? Or do you simply opt for the straightforward self-explanatory title? Whatever your preference, you will find a trove of movies, books, music and clothing to stimulate the mind and warm the soul at the new TITLE store on James Street. What started as an unassuming shop-front stocking an array of specialist CDs and DVDs on the hip Crown Street in Surry Hills, quickly grew into an Australia-wide network of retail outlets brimming with everything from popular Penguins to funky disco that will please those who are actively engaged in the cultural world. A place where books, music and movies spin on a different axis, TITLE spent two years searching for the perfect space to house the unique Brisbane store, before the James Street location finally became available.

NISSANM I C R AA love affair can begin in the most unexpected of places. It starts with a few coy, flirtatious glances and begins to blossom as the lovers become better acquainted. When next you wander past a car yard, beware of the seductive appeal of the new-look Nissan Micra. Its modern new design will stop you in your tracks and draw you to the car. Once you succumb to the charm of the Micra and drive your new car from the car yard, you will be impressed with the fashionable and comfortable interior, Bluetooth connectivity, refreshing air conditioning and anti-locking brakes. The first time you spy the perfect car park together, the Micra will win you over when its compact size and 9-metre turning circle will allow you to zip into any space. The brand-new fourth-generation Micra is the first Nissan to receive a five-star Green Vehicles Guide rating. Using just 5.9 litres of petrol every 100 kilometres, the 1.2-litre Micra will love the environment as much as it will love you. What’s more, 98% of the materials used to build the Micra are recyclable. To keep you safe, every Micra comes with vehicle dynamic control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist, as well as six airbags. For convenience, each model is fitted with Bluetooth connectivity, a multifunction drive computer, air conditioning, remote entry, CD player, AUX MP3 audio input jack and tilt adjust steering column. To ensure the two of you never miss a date, the Micra also comes with a unique digital anniversary reminder. The Micra is available in three different models – the ST, ST-L and Ti. The ST offers maximum efficiency with its 1.2-litre engine, while the ST-L’s 1.5-litre engine delivers more power. The top-of-the-line Ti model is fitted with all the trimmings, including the Nissan intelligent key, a push button to start and stop the engine, climate-controlled air conditioning, reversing sensors for those tight car parks, 15-inch alloy wheels, fog lights and a nifty handbag storage area. Cleverly built into the passenger seat, the storage area provides a space to store your handbag so it won’t roll off the seat and distract you whilst driving. A car that complements a busy lifestyle, the Nissan Micra will make for an attractive, clever and undemanding partner. www.micralane.com.au

EpIC CYCLESS A F E T Y

Remember the rush you got the first time you rode your bike all the way down the driveway without falling off? Some of a child’s fondest memories are forged atop a bicycle, but for many parents, watching their children learn to ride can be a stressful experience. Some of the safest children’s bikes on the market, Byk Bikes are not only visually appealing to a child’s eye, they are also ergonomically designed to suit each child’s age and height. As children grow, the height proportions of their lower and upper bodies change drastically from year to year. Because of this, many bikes (which are mostly miniature adult bikes) are not suited to the unique proportions of a child’s body. Born out of the realisation that there were no bikes designed specifically for children, the founder of Byk Bikes developed a range of products that revolutionised the design of children’s bikes. The ergonomically designed frame is proportionate to a child’s height at each different stage of their lives and sits lower to the ground to allow for greater control. For maximum safety, the low-rolling-resistance tyres reduce the ‘pushoff to balance’ speed by 30%, the brakes are designed to deliver a smooth braking action, and the grips have been designed to fit small hands. Because the frame is 20% lighter, the bike is easier for children to ride. A great Christmas gift, find the range of Byk Bikes for kids aged 3–13 at Epic Cycles. 81 Baroona Road, paddington T. 3368 2324 www.epiccycles.com.au IM

Summer is officially upon us and everyone is beginning to bubble with Christmas cheer. Amongst the barrage of Christmas parties and events, finding time to style your hair becomes increasingly difficult. Embrace the carefree spirit of summer and invest in a fresh and easy-to-wear hairstyle from the talented team at Toni&Guy Bulimba. This season, styles of tousled layers, bouncy curls and textured shapes complemented with soft honey and champagne tones have made their way onto the streets. Trained in the fashion hub of London, the stylists at Toni&Guy are always ahead of the latest trends. Once they have finished revitalising your locks, keep your hair looking healthy with one of the pampering moisturising treatments. While you are in the salon, why not pick up one of the gift vouchers and give a pampering gift this Christmas? Your friends and family will all be sporting fresh, glimmering locks for the new year when they redeem their vouchers for any of the services or retail products available at Toni&Guy. The team at the helm of the boutique salon – which recently placed runner-up at the Toni&Guy Business Awards for Salon of the Year – are getting into the festive spirit of giving by placing anyone who rebooks for an appointment in January into the draw to win more than $250 of label.m products. The friendly service also extends to your car, which will appreciate the private, off-street parking. 5 wambool Street, Bulimba T. 3399 3545 www.toniandguy.com.au/qLD/Bulimba

pERFECT LIvINGD E C O R AT E

While a house is a structure that provides residents with warmth and shelter, a home is a space that offers more than just shelter to those who reside within its four walls. A home is a place of comfort and security – a place for hosting celebrations and where you are comfortable walking around in old mismatched clothes. Home decorators searching for the finishing touches that will transform their house into a home will be overcome with ecstasy when they discover the decorator’s paradise that is Perfect Living. Previously located inside the decorator centre at Hawkins Nursery, Perfect Living upsized to a 290 square metre warehouse in Bulimba during August. Together owner Kylee Aitcheson, who has 10 years of experience in the interiors industry, and husband Peter, have converted the warehouse into a lifestyle showroom where you will find everything from gifts and soft furnishings, to French furniture and covetable Christmas decorations. Because every home is different, Kylee has a range of products to suit every space. Inspired gardeners will revel in the garden art, whilst apartment dwellers will discover thrifty space-saving ideas, and owners of Queenslanders will find unique homewares to complement the rustic charm of their space. Perfect Living offers a private off-street car park and trading hours have been extended to seven days per week during December. 41 Oxford Street, Bulimba T. 3399 8335 perfectliving@bigpond.com

FOOTGEARC O M F O R TJust like breathing, walking is a natural action for the body. Recognising that the human body is well-equipped for walking, Danish Shoe Manufacturer ECCO has launched the BIOM Walk. A paradigm shift in shoe design, the BIOM is a comfortable walking shoe that does not control movement, but allows the foot to move freely. Designed using ECCO’s research, the BIOM has been anatomically formed to mirror the construction of the foot, allowing the foot’s muscles to build up gradually and naturally. The BIOM Walk is available for men and women. Lower Ground, queensplaza, City and Indooroopilly Shopping CentreT. 3220 2000 www.footgear.com.au

CRuMpLERS M A R TCrumpler has just launched The Heist Collection – a new range of urban work bags. Recently celebrating 15 years of bag making, Crumpler has gained a reputation for designing strong useful bags for folks who like to grab and go. Over that time, Crumpler has listened to and designed for customers who carry their life on their back on a daily basis, which is why they know what makes a great bag. In a move away from the original messenger bags, Crumpler has answered the call of the young working professional and produced a collection of urban work bags called The Heist. Sleek and progressive, The Heist is a sturdy range of laptop bags. Standard to all is a padded laptop sleeve, two internal pockets, zipped external pocket and shoulder strap. The Heist Collection, from $150, features four styles and will be available at Crumpler in December.156 Adelaide Street, City and 120 Boundary Street, west End T. 3221 0279 www.crumpler.com
