Interview After our long day with Marta Dusseldorp has ended and the tape recorder is turned off, the actress tucks her legs under herself on the soft white banquette and continues to talk about work, life, acting, and the wicked paradox of raising fearless young women – wanting to protect her daughters from having to go through what she went through, while understanding that adversity builds resilience. A flickering fire warms our backs, and to our left, a two-storey window looks out onto Tasmania’s Mount Hazard underneath a sky that sparkles like thousands of tiny diamonds spilled on a sheet of midnight-blue velvet. Marta speaks eloquently and thoughtfully about these big subjects, and the responsibility she feels to the industry that has shaped and fulfilled her. “I want to continue…

They start out like any other day – the days that change everything. It was December 10, 2015. Owen Wright was in Hawaii. It was a corker of a blue-sky island morning and the waves rolling in at Pipeline were immense – as high as he’d ever seen there. He had a couple of hours before the competition, and Owen decided to paddle out and catch a few early ones, get into his groove. He caught a “cracking wave, straight off the bat,” rode the barrel like a champion and was feeling “stratospheric, invincible”. A couple of rides like that in competition and he could take out the World Surfing League title. Then his luck changed. Owen turned in the channel and was paddling back out through the breakers when…

At the end of a winding country road, about an hour south of Berlin, stands a sign proclaiming: ‘Welcome to the Kingdom of Germany.’ I scan the horizon for fairytale castles, oompah bands and tables groaning beneath beer and bratwurst, but there’s little to see here beyond a cluster of slightly drab buildings. Since 1918, when Wilhelm II, the last Kaiser, was driven into exile, most Germans have assumed that they lived in a republic, but today a new and unsettling kind of ‘monarchy’ is taking root. The Kingdom, headquartered in a former chicken-canning factory near the small town of Wittenberg, issues its own currency, passports and driving licences, and contends that the ‘other’ Germany – the federal state established after World War II – is a gigantic confidence trick…

I wasn’t meant to be in Darwin. I was meant to be walking the streets of Amsterdam, admiring the architecture and wearing the chic all-black winter wardrobe I’d built while living in Melbourne and working as an architect at a top-tier firm. I was holidaying in Vienna on my way to my new life in the Netherlands when everything changed. My flight to Amsterdam was cancelled, then my accommodation booking followed. The pandemic had arrived. I made a split-second decision to fly back to Australia as international borders closed around me. I’d been preparing for the end of winter in Europe, and I found myself in the thick heat of tropical Darwin, where my parents had lived for 15 years. I was used to grey streets, greyer skies, monochrome clothes,…

Promotion A Vida Glow collagen product sells every four seconds. What’s the secret to success? It’s my passion. Collagen supplements were the only solution that delivered tangible results when I suffered hair loss. I researched the clinical evidence and discovered scientific data supported the results I was seeing in my hair, skin and nails. You can’t argue with science. So what does the science say? There are over 800 scientific research papers and trials on collagen supplementation. And over 20 double-blind placebo-controlled trials on hydrolysed collagen and its effect on skin alone. These are the gold standard of clinical and scientific testing. The evidence is very clear that collagen supplementation works. What are your top 3 tips for healthy skin and hair? 1. Choose the right collagen: Marine collagen is…

The only way we know many of those women born in the 1880s is from stiff, unreal old studio photos. Unless they were privileged or exceptional, most women vanished from the record. Their lives often can’t be reconstructed beyond a few dates – their births and deaths, when their children were born – and maybe a recipe for drop scones or oxtail soup. The events of my grandmother’s life – drawn from family stories and research – are as I’ve told them here. But I’ve had to imagine my way into what she felt and thought about them, and no doubt I’ve got that wrong in all sorts of ways. It’s only two generations ago, but Dolly’s world seems a foreign country. In the old photos those women in their…

There is nowhere on Earth like the Flinders Ranges. Rainbow-striped mountains zig-zag out of a vast, sunstruck desert plane; ancient river red gums spread their roots along the banks of perfectly clear, silvery streams; leafy, green microclimates shelter a stone’s throw from barren, rocky gorges. There is something altogether otherworldly about this place. But it’s not just the stop-you-in-your-tracks beauty of the Flinders Ranges that makes it unique. This 600-million-year-old landscape was described by geologist and explorer Sir Douglas Mawson as “one great outdoor museum”. It provides a precious, unparalleled record of the evolution of life on Earth, including a cache of the oldest fossils in the world. And it’s recently been nominated for World Heritage listing. It’s no surprise then that this region has been a haunt of scientists…

Grief connection I read with interest your story on Michelle Moriarty (Turning Tragedy into Purpose, AWW, July). Missing the little things, for me, was polarised when my son passed unexpectedly. My other children were my main concern, and that kept the frail connection to life in place. A couple of years later, when I was leaving my work place, they held a morning tea for me. I told the group that while they had been witnesses to the very worst experience in my life, I wanted to thank each one of them for doing the right thing. Those who embraced me did it right, those who asked me if I was okay did it right, those who summoned our manager when they knew I needed help but couldn’t approach me…

Column As The Weekly’s royal correspondent and books editor, it doesn’t get better than an invite to Queen Camilla’s inaugural literary festival at Hampton Court Palace. A former home to King Henry VIII, this spectacular baroque palace and grounds (complete with outdoor maze) is normally open to the public, but for one day in June it was transformed into a heady literary wonderland with a program of special events celebrating literature and the arts. Book lovers flocked to the historic royal venue where we all also basked in an early summer heatwave. As I wandered through the courtyards I half expected to stumble upon any one of Henry’s many wives and their courtiers huddled in conversation – actually not such a wild imagining as Jane Seymour’s ghost is said to…

Fall from grace Private jets. Designer clothes. Louis Vuitton handbags and Cartier wristwatches. Holidays at five-star resorts and stays at luxury hotels. International travel and global domination. And behind all the glitz and glamour and popping paparazzi bulbs, were the rumours of abuse, infidelity and exploitation. It sounds like the lifestyle of a Hollywood A-lister in a scandal-sheet nightmare. And it is – except, the “celebrities” are Hillsong Church leaders, living high on the hog from the heartfelt donations of thousands of humble parishioners who have worshipped at the 131 church locations worldwide. In March this year, when Tasmanian MP Andrew Wilkie stood up in Federal Parliament and under parliamentary privilege accused the Australian-born church of “spending that would embarrass a Kardashian” and “breaking numerous laws in Australia and around…

Woman on the land JESSICA HOWARD is the inaugural winner of The Weekly’s Esme Fenston Fellowship, which offers mentorship and publication opportunities for a female writer from regional Australia. Don’t bend that bar,” Girlie Goody teases, as I bounce like a human pinball around the cab of her Toyota LandCruiser with a white-knuckle grip on the safety rail. We’re lurching into a washed-out creek that cuts through the hills of her cattle property near Monto, 150 kilometres south-west of Gladstone in Central Queensland, and we’re on the hunt for cattle hiding in the scrub. Peering over the wheel, Girlie reaches down to “add more horses” and knock the ute into four-wheel drive. She’s covered this track almost daily over every one of her 83 years – first in a saddle,…

When Craig Reucassel began exploring the devastating impact waste has on the planet in 2017, he started a revolution. For the first time in decades, everyday Aussies began not only considering their own environmental footprint – and ways to reduce it – but lobbying local councils, businesses and governments for change. We’ve come a long way, he says, but it’s time to return to the subject. Sure, single-use plastic bags have been banned in most supermarkets and that’s a win. But COVID changed our habits and not all of them were positive. Home delivery has surged, meaning we’re both generating and disposing of even more packaging waste. Single-use coffee cups returned as baristas banned reusables over hygiene concerns – and we’re not back to where we were pre-pandemic. And let’s…

Once upon a time, long before Uber Eats and microwaves, we humans hunted protein-rich food and gathered roots and berries. If they were sweet, we’d fill our stomachs. If they were sour, we’d keep away. We had finely-tuned survival instincts so we could bolt if we sensed a tiger snake nearby. We formed strong social bonds because isolation meant death. It wasn’t all strawberries and naps in the sun, but life was simpler. Historian Yuval Noah Harari says it’s likely our prehistoric ancestors enjoyed a far easier and, arguably, happier existence. Yes, we had to worry about lions. But we only had to worry about lions. We “didn’t have to deal with automobile accidents or industrial pollution,” he writes in his book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. There were…

High-tech beauty Treatment 1 Lumixa WHAT IS IT? As close to relaxing as a high-tech treatment gets, this fluorescent facial looks otherworldly. It’s a souped-up version of LED light therapy – LED can only cover a single wavelength, while this offers the whole spectrum (blue, green, yellow, red) all at once. HAVE IT IF … you suffer inflammation, particularly redness. It’s brilliant for rosacea because, once the redness goes down, any underlying broken veins can be removed with a targeted laser to create an even skin tone. If you’re sensitive, don’t like painful treatments or have a compromised skin barrier, this is definitely for you. For everyone else, it’s a great additional booster. HOW IT WORKS: A patented fluorophore gel is applied to skin and activated by blue LED light.…

You may have heard some of these myths before: Reading in poor light ruins your eyes (it doesn’t); the wrong prescription glasses will damage your eyes (nope); and wearing glasses makes vision weaker (not true either). Potentially perilous is this doozy though: If your vision hasn’t changed, you don’t need a check-up. “Getting your eyes tested regularly is critical because many eye conditions, like glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, are characterised by a lack of symptoms, particularly in the early stages,” says Dr May Ho, The Fred Hollows Foundation Optometry and Primary Eye Care Advisor. “We often say that you don’t know how important good eyesight is until it’s gone. It affects our ability to drive, attend school or work, interact with friends and family and maintain our physical…

Colour isn’t just a way to express ourselves, it’s long known to have a significant effect on our emotions – red adds energy, green brings calm and yellow encourages optimism. In the past, colour trends have been treated like fads, but colour is a highly personal preference, and using your favourite colours is a shortcut to making a house feel like home. The good news is the latest colours trending in interiors reflect this shift in how we think about colour. Here are a few looks that are set to stay the course.

Travel All the seasons are writ large in Canberra. In summer, the sun beats down on its pavements and museums, while Canberran families wend their way to the coast. In budget season, the Senate Courtyard maple tree at Parliament House famously blazes red. In June, an icy wind whips down from Mount Ainslie, chilling politicians in mid-winter ball gowns. And in spring, the capital is a riot of colour – fairy-floss pink, magenta, red, yellow – as tulips jostle at the annual flower festival, Floriade. Floriade is synonymous with spring in Canberra. From mid-September to mid-October, Commonwealth Park is a bobbing ocean of flowering bulbs. During the day, families wander garden beds and playgrounds, sampling the food, music and entertainment. At night, couples stroll as a lightshow plays overhead. Spring…

Barbie MOVIE Margot’s retro makeover The Barbie film caused a worldwide shortage of pink paint, and so far, star Margot Robbie has stuck to the costume brief of rose, flamingo and fuchsia. But at the global press tour kick-off in Sydney, she switched to a black and white mini to evoke Barbie’s original 1959 costume. Margot said it was important the film paved the way for more female-led blockbusters. “If Wonder Woman hadn’t done what Wonder Woman did, I don’t know if people would’ve given us the budget,” she said. She hinted she pulled some strings to start the tour in Australia, where adoring fans turned out in ecstatic, glittery droves. Women we love Super caring Australia’s first indigenous supermodel, Samantha Harris, has been getting her hands dirty planting new…

A great example of really taking advantage of the vagueness of the word ‘pudding’, this dessert is nearly unclassifiable, but the taste is all the same familiar. It would be a clafoutis if it were denser. It would be a cobbler if it were more like a sliceable cake. It could be a bread pudding with fruit instead of bread. Whatever it is, it’s one of my favourite ways to use up leftover fruit – the sort that’s so ripe and perfect it needs little more than a buttery batter poured around it, containing just enough flour to simply absorb the juices of the fruit as it roasts inside a custardy bath. While it’s near impossible to mess up this pudding, the only tragedy would be to use under-ripe or…

The Watchful Wife by Suzanne Leal, Allen & Unwin This slow-burning drama starts with a punch – a knock on the door early in the morning, two police officers demanding to see the husband of our wide-eyed narrator Ellen. Gordon O’Hanlon is still in bed, Ellen says, but agrees to go and wake him. He’s already dressing and goes to the living room to face his accusers. Stuttering and shaking his head hard “like a dog with a toy in its mouth”, Gordon denies their claims. It’s clear they don’t believe him. And frankly at this moment neither do we, but Ellen is certain her husband is an innocent victim. Is this a wife’s blind partiality or is there something more going on? Ellen’s an intriguing character, at once naive…

Read THIS! Colour us happy If the thought of bringing colour into your home feels overwhelming, Kaleidoscope gives plenty of inspiration. From bold blues to mellow yellows and every shade in between, you’ll want to rush to grab a paintbrush and try a new hue yourself.

From the archive Famed cartoonist and illustrator Petrov’s cover art aptly summed up this edition of The Weekly, which celebrated the ingenuity and bravery of women both at home and abroad. Regular column Letters from Our Boys was stood down in favour of letters from females in the services. A report from our London office declared that “Women do some of the most secret work in Britain and some of the most dangerous jobs. A recently advertised post was for ‘athletic women to stay out in all weathers, cut wires and keep secrets’,” while a feature showcasing women working in trades “where formerly there were no women employees at all” highlighted the important role these Aussies were playing on the home front. With rationing in full effect, Coupons limited ...…
