Legacy Minerals has received a vote of confidence from Red Hill
Special Report: Legacy Minerals has received a vote of confidence in its Thomson gold-copper project in northwest NSW after Red Hill Minerals acquired a net smelter royalty covering the project
The 1.5% net smelter royalty over licences EL 9190 and EL 9194 was awarded to Eastern Metals as part of the company’s $200,000 acquisition of the project in 2024
This NSR has now been purchased by Red Hill (ASX:RHI) for $220,000 plus GST
which hints at its confidence in the emerging belt-scale exploration opportunity
Ongoing exploration and review of historical work by Legacy Minerals (ASX:LGM)
which can purchase the royalty back for $6m
has demonstrated the potential for large-scale intrusion-related gold-copper systems across the project
There is also strong evidence that other such systems are present at similar targets across the project
which has similar characteristics to other major intrusion-related gold-copper districts such as Winu
recording revenue of $3.35m from the Onslow iron project in the March 2025 quarter and it acquired a 2% gross revenue royalty over the Sandstone gold project in late April 2025
it sold its 40% interest in the Red Hill iron ore joint venture to Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) for $400m in cash and a 0.75% royalty
“We are pleased to see Red Hill Minerals acquire the Thomson royalty
The acquisition supports our team’s view that the Thomson project presents a large-scale
gold and copper discovery opportunity,” managing director Christopher Byrne said
He added that recent results were comparable to several pre-discovery holes for significant intrusion-related gold deposits including De Grey’s Eagle deposit within the Hemi discovery
The 5500km2 Thomson project offers LGM the opportunity to be the first mover in exploring a new intrusion-related gold and copper mineral system belt
a coincident zone of elevated magnetic and gravity data that extends over a strike length of about 1000m in an east-west direction
Previous explorers completed a single line of induced polarisation dipole-dipole over the highest magnetic feature and identified a zone of increased chargeability coincident with the elevated magnetic data
While a deep 641.8m hole drilled by others failed to encounter massive sulphide base metals
a company review concluded that the potential for intrusion-related deposits had not been sufficiently considered or tested historically
Further sampling is planned further up hole in a historical hole that returned 377m at 0.1g/t gold from a down-hole depth of 225m including better results of 7m at 1.2g/t gold from 287m and 41.95m at 0.4g/t from 420m
the Cut-B anomaly exhibits coincident elevated gravity and magnetic data which indicates a close spatial relationship between magnetic material and dense material
This target strikes east-to-west more than ~900m
While historical drilling to test the top of the main magnetic anomaly has returned some intriguing gold
the adjacent gravity feature appears to remain untested
LGM recently drilled two 600m deep holes at the F4 and Cut-B anomalies
Initial observations at F4 indicate that the magnetic feature has been caused by hydrothermal pyrrhotite-bearing quartz veins and is not a lithologically derived magnetic feature
Core processing and sampling are underway with results expected in six to eight weeks

Brett and Liz Barnes are selling Star Lane Winery in Wooragee
while Red Hill’s iconic Tucks vineyard has also hit the market in a rare double offering of boutique Victorian wineries
Two Victorian wineries have hit the market
offering the chance to live and work in two of the state’s most picturesque wine regions
But buyers will need more than a good swirl and sniff technique
In North East Victoria, Star Lane Winery at Wooragee has $3.5m-$3.85m price hopes, while in the Mornington Peninsula’s Red Hill, the Tucks vineyard, once part of the famed Tucks Ridge estate

Star Lane Winery is the passion project of Brett and Liz Barnes
who planted their first vines back in 1997 after moving from broadacre farming in the Riverina
to create a boutique vineyard that could produce ultra-premium wines
that dream is ready for the next custodian
Star Lane Winery offers 18ha of established vines
a striking cellar door and stunning lifestyle opportunity near Beechworth
Star Lane Winery has hosted picturesque vineyard weddings with breathtaking views
an architecturally designed winery and cellar door
and a charming two-bedroom farmhouse surrounded by private gardens
It’s time now for someone else to bring their vision here.”
Brett and Liz Barnes planted their first vines at Star Lane in 1997
building a boutique label now ready for its next chapter
The two-bedroom home at Star Lane offers rustic charm and vineyard views in Victoria’s High Country
YPA Mornington director Chris Fahl said the property made it ideal for a new or expanding wine label
Surrounded by mature trees and a private garden
the farmhouse is ideal for full-time living or a vineyard manager’s residence
a wraparound veranda and a sun-drenched sleepout bring warmth and light to the Star Lane home
“There’s room to plant even more vines or add boutique accommodation.”
Mr Fahl said Beechworth’s wine scene is home to heavyweights like Giaconda and Sorrenberg
with local Chardonnays and is now considered among the best in the world
Star Lane’s architect-designed winery includes a climate-controlled barrel room and upstairs deck overlooking the vines
“Add to that the booming cycle tourism industry
with a $10m rail trail passing Star Lane’s front gate
the Mornington Peninsula’s Tucks vineyard offers a vineyard in one of Victoria’s most tightly held wine regions
Set on 9.99ha in Red Hill’s prized Shoreham Road strip
and comes with a fully licensed restaurant and cellar door facility
Tucks in Red Hill is a 9.99ha vineyard with pinot noir
The two-bedroom guesthouse at Tucks offers a peaceful base among the vines
with potential for Airbnb or luxury accommodation
Kay & Burton Flinders director Tom Barr Smith said the offering was extraordinary for Red Hill
where tightly held vineyard properties rarely come up for sale
“This site comes with valuable restaurant and liquor licences allowing for 100 patrons
and up to 450 for special events,” Mr Barr Smith said
“It is a tremendous head start for anyone looking to enter the Mornington Peninsula’s food and wine scene.”
Tucks is a rare chance to own part of the Mornington Peninsula’s wine legacy
The licensed restaurant and cellar door at Tucks can host up to 100 seated guests or 450 for events
Although the vineyard is currently operational
Mr Barr Smith said the hospitality spaces have been used sparingly in recent years
but the hospitality side has huge untapped potential.”
The commercial kitchen at Tucks is fully equipped and ideal for a hospitality revival in the heart of Red Hill wine country
Surrounded by established gardens and rolling hills
the Red Hill home blends vineyard charm with lifestyle flexibility
Being slightly off the main tourist road offers privacy without sacrificing proximity to major attractions
with nearby neighbours including big names like Montalto
The Kay & Burton Flinders director said the timing was perfect for buyers seeking long-term value
“Vineyard properties are expensive to establish from scratch these days
The guesthouse at Tucks has been used for staff but could become a high-end Airbnb or short-stay
we believe the market is near the bottom of the cycle
Both listings are expected to draw interest from a mix of buyers
including high-net-worth individuals seeking a lifestyle shift
and established wine brands looking to expand

If you’ve ever wondered where ex-Home Affairs boss Mike Pezzullo does his deep thinking
you can take a tour of his recently listed five-bedroom luxury Red Hill mansion
Backing on to the Red Hill Nature reserve that kisses the sprawling property of Canberra’s Federal Golf Club, and nestled on the exclusive strip of impressive ambassadors residences (including a former Prime Minister’s abode), sits number 52 Mugga Way
The address is home to former department secretary Mike Pezzullo’s family
and the so-called ‘Golden Mile’ estate could be all yours because it’s up for sale
Boasting four queen-sized ensuite bedrooms and a garage that can comfortably house four cars
the mansion also features a majestic two-tiered fountain replete with figural fish
Stepping through a gate at the southwest corner of the estate
you’ll pass a pergola that overlooks a full-sized tennis court and manicured lawns and leads on to a picturesque koi pond surrounded by Japanese maples.
A wisteria arbour runs on the south side of the property
with a paved path ushering visitors to the edge of an expansive resort-style heated pool decorated with azure blue tiles and its own elevated grotto featuring dolphin statues.
there is also a private cabana with full bathroom and kitchen facilities.
Here is the pinnacle of “lavish entertainment” — a perfect dining zone for friends and guests
where you can kick back with a fine wine in hand and make the most of the indoor-outdoor dining space and its wood-fired pizza oven
“With extensive use of high-quality materials and grand proportions
this custom-built home offers you a lifestyle rarely offered in the ACT,” the listing’s promotional material reads
“Featuring four opulent upstairs ensuite bedrooms — each rivalling the scale of a private studio apartment — this extraordinary home also provides a magnificent parents’ custom wing complete with luxury hotel-style ensuite
and an executive office and library of grand proportions.”
this residence represents the pinnacle of inner-south living simply brimming with all that anyone could ever need.”
Inside the palatial home there is a chandelier in a massive walk-in wardrobe
and floor-to-ceiling windows styled in the fashion of a grand atrium bathing light onto a grand spiral staircase at the heart of a marbled foyer
The garage has infrastructure to charge two Teslas
and the established garden is heaving with a whole variety of enviable orchard specimens
the “as new residence of rare distinction” belonging to the former public servant and his wife (a former consultancy managing partner) will go under the hammer in less than a month.
This leaves 19 days for prospective buyers or sticky beaks to book an inspection and tour the enormous 2,845 m2 luxury residence with a 2024 unimproved value of $3.14 million
An independent inquiry by Lynelle Briggs found that Pezzullo breached the APS code of conduct 14 times and recommended that he be sacked from his role as a department head under section 59 of the Public Service Act
The inquiry was initiated amid a WhatsApp messaging scandal that exposed an extensive text exchange between the then secretary and Liberal party operative Scott Briggs (no relation to the independent reviewer)
Allegations examined included the suggestion Pezzullo used his duty
status or authority to seek to gain a benefit or advantage for himself; engaged in gossip and disrespectful critique of ministers and public servants; failed to maintain the confidentiality of sensitive government information; failed to act apolitically in his employment; and failed to disclose a conflict of interest
Last year he told the ABC that while he acknowledged his conduct fell short of the appropriate standards
he did not believe it was so grievous as to warrant dismissal
“I think a case could be made … in places like Canberra … where there are networks and people pursuing particular agendas — whether they’re policy agendas
resource agendas — that the behaviour [alleged against me] can be dealt with in other ways,” Pezzullo said.

BlackSpot projects aim to upgrade risky roads with an aim to reduce the severity and likelihood of future crashes
we have delivered the funded safety upgrades on Arthurs Seat Road Red Hill.
We have a strong commitment to road safety through our Mornington Peninsula Towards Zero 2020-2025 road safety strategy
The aim of the strategy is to create a safe road system for the community to reduce road trauma
An important part of road safety is having appropriate speed limits that are suitable for each road
The project was structured around two main components:
The Guard Rail Component entailed installing guardrails
and upgrading signage. This component has been successfully completed
The pedestrian and parking project includes widening lanes and shoulders to accommodate a centralised refuge island for pedestrian crossings and parking bays near the United service station
This section of works has been partially completed as an unexpected fuel tank was discovered adjacent to the service station
The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has provided guidance to the Council on safely decommissioning the Tanks which have now been removed
This project aims to upgrade Arthurs Seat Road to reduce the severity and likelihood of run-off-road crashes which have occurred along the section between White Hill Road and Red Hill Road
This road safety project was submitted to the Department of Transport & Planning (DTP) last financial year and has been granted funding through the Federal Black Spot Program to be implemented this financial year
Black Spot projects target road locations where crashes are occurring and/or locations that are deemed high risk
This section of Arthurs Seat Road has been identified as high risk
there having been eight recorded accidents resulting in multiple serious injuries.
The following works are proposed for the construction of the safety improvements along Arthurs Seat Road:

The Shire seeks to facilitate on street parking around business’s when safe to do so
As part of our responsibilities as the road manager we need to ensure that any parking arrangement won’t put road users
including pedestrians at any unacceptable level of risk
In January 2024 we instigated a detailed parking and road safety assessment(PDF, 4MB) of the area (including a review from a leading independent road safety consultant) and summarise the key findings of this review as follows:
Removing existing ‘no stopping’ restrictions in this area would pose an unacceptable risk to road users and the broader community who travel this section of road

A teenage boy was taken to hospital after attempting a jump on his bike and landing on his head
Just after 10.30am yesterday morning (Monday
half a dozen 14-year-old boys were riding their mountain bikes in bush at Red Hill Reserve
one of them attempted a ‘360 flip’ over a jump but failed to execute the manoeuvre and landed on his head
Keeping their friend immobilised and in shade, they called Triple Zero (000) and were able to inform emergency services of their exact location in the bush using the what3words location service that is available in the Emergency Plus app
Fire and Rescue NSW Dee Why Station and six NSW Ambulance crews
Special Operations Paramedics and NSW Ambulance Inspectors Christian Holmes and Mark Whittaker
responded to a fire trail entry at Lady Penrhyn Drive
Paramedics made their way into the boy’s location with a 4WD ambulance vehicle
guided by his mates who had come to lead emergency services to their friend
The injured boy was located a short distance from the fire trail
The boy’s injuries were assessed by Intensive Care Paramedics
who treated him for a potential spinal injury
was able to stand and walk with assistance to the 4WD nearby which drove him back along the fire trail to Lady Penrhyn Drive
he was placed onto an ambulance stretcher and transferred to the Intensive Care ambulance
which took him to Westmead Children’s Hospital in a stable condition just before 11.30am
His friends were congratulated by the NSW Ambulance Inspectors for being aware of what to do to ensure they could be easily located for their friend to get help

THE Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council is proposing to construct and operate an immobilisation plant to treat class v air pollution control residue (APCr) generated from offsite waste to energy plants.
It is also proposing to construct a dedicated class IV monocell for disposal of the treated APCr, at the Red Hill waste management facility.
According to documentation on the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) website the proposed immobilisation plant will treat APCr to meet class IV standards suitable for disposal into class IV landfills.
The existing class IV stage 2 landfill waste disposal cell will be used until the dedicated class IV monocell has been constructed.
The proposal document said the class IV APCr monocell would be progressively rehabilitated in accordance with a closure plan to be approved by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.
“Following decommissioning of the immobilisation plant, the area will be rehabilitated in accordance with any relevant approval requirements,’’ the document said.
“Commissioning of the immobilisation plant will be undertaken by the design and construct contractor.
“A commissioning plan will be prepared during the detailed design phase of the project.
“Commissioning is not relevant to the class IV APCr monocell.
“Decommissioning of the immobilisation plant will be undertaken in 25+ years’ time by an experienced and qualified contractor.
“A decommissioning plan will be prepared prior to commissioning.
“Capping of the class IV APCr monocell will be undertaken when full (approximately three to five years).’’
Toxics Free Australia (TFA) believes the project is better described as a project to build and operate a class 5 hazardous waste processing facility and associated class 4 disposal cell.
TFA chair Jane Bremmer said the project should have been described as a prescribed premises (part 1. high risk) project requiring the proponent to provide associated assessments and reports for the EPA to be able to adequately assess the project for both a works approval and license under the WA Environmental Protection Act 1986.
a home that has come to market in Canberra's inner south appears to be a renovator's dream
All articles from our website & appThe digital version of Today's PaperBreaking news alerts direct to your inboxInteractive Crosswords, Sudoku and TriviaAll articles from the other regional websites in your areaContinueThe house at 4 Torres Street, Red Hill
sits on just under an acre of leafy land in one of the suburb's most tightly held streets
A development application was approved for the property in late 2023
It allows the demolition of the existing home and the construction of a two-storey house
The approved application includes a landscaping plan from renowned Australian garden designer Paul Bangay
Picture by Karleen MinneySelling agent Tom Wiggins
the grounds would boast one of the most sophisticated gardens in Canberra
The area of Red Hill where the house stands has a heritage overlay imposed
meaning homes must be kept to their original character
interest in the home has been relatively slow but steady after more than 90 days on the market
The Canberra Times understands a price point of $6 million to $6.5 million has been set
The home was built in 1964 and held by the same owner until a sale in 2020 for just more than $4 million
It was sold again in 2022 for $5.9 million
The Canberra Times understands both previous owners moved interstate upon selling
Picture by Karleen MinneyReports from neighbours on closed Facebook pages viewed by The Canberra Times suggest the house has been left "derelict" for several years
The property ad for the home shows no interior shots and warns the "existing property is not habitable" and site inspections are "available at buyer's own risk and on appointment only"
But Mr Wiggins was confident the right buyer could transform the currently uninhabitable property
MORE PROPERTY AND DEVELOPMENT:
The approved development application would fast-track a new home, he said, or internal work, new windows and doors could be installed to make the current home liveable.
The existing home has a mid-century charm, complete with five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The mid-century home. Picture by Karleen MinneyHowever, the property is caught in a catch-22 scenario.
Mr Wiggins said it would not be suitable for a multi-residential developer because the site's zoning allows only one dwelling to be built.
Land tax laws in the ACT also mean little return would be made from renting the property out.
It is understood a buyer would need enough money to secure the property and any additional work.
Some Canberra homes, like the Red Hill property, are more cost-effective to leave uninhabited and not made habitable to gain a land tax exemption.

Gabriel Velasquez is pretty sure he passed out a time or two climbing to find his phone
Finding his missing phone meant he’d survive
were out on a late-night drive on the back side of Gypsum’s Red Hill the night of April 23
and the Jeep’s right wheels caught the road’s soft shoulder and the vehicle rolled several times into a sagebrush ravine
Both men and Velasquez’s three dogs were ejected from the vehicle
and Velasquez and Jaramillo were badly hurt
Velasquez used his Garmin Fenix smart watch to try to connect with his phone
“I mustered every bit of strength I could” to climb back up the hill to find the phone to call 911
Velasquez said he’s driven in the area before
and said it’s unlikely anyone would have spotted them
Gypsum Fire Chief Justin Kirkland said the first 911 call came in at 12:16 a.m
An Eagle County Sheriff’s deputy was first on scene at 12:56 a.m.
with six Gypsum firefighters on scene a few minutes later
The back side of Red Hill is “huge,” he said
“There’s a lot of places to get lost.” And
the place where Velasquez said they were didn’t match the GPS coordinates sent by his phone
Add in the fact that the vehicle had left the road
Eagle County Paramedics determined that the men were badly enough injured to require helicopter rescue
That required creating a landing zone for two aircraft
Velasquez said it seemed like everything went fairly quickly
By the time Jaramillo and Velasquez landed in Grand Junction
Velasquez was “covered head to toe in blood,” he said
just that “I knew I was in a better place than laying in that field.”

Sudoku and TriviaAll articles from the other regional websites in your areaContinueIn an order made on April 14 and seen by The Canberra Times
set aside the approval of a development application for 125 homes on the site of the Federal Golf Course
An artist's impression of what the development application would have looked like if built, and the ACAT building (insert). Pictures by Karleen Minney/ supplied.The decision is the end of a fiery debate in the tribunal that has been running since early this year
Opposition group Friends of Federal Fairways has fought against the construction of 125 retirement homes by Sydney-based developer Mbark on a portion of Federal Golf Club land in Red Hill.
Central to the hearing were arguments about whether the development application was properly made and if it was assessed under the correct Act.
Representatives of the Friends group also presented several environmental concerns over more than four hearing days in early April.
Several development applications for the golf course have been submitted and approved, including for subdivision of the land and waterworks.
The approved development application relevant to the ACAT decision is for the retirement village homes, which would include 48 apartments across six buildings, along with 77 single-storey townhouses.
A further application for the construction of a public road and landscaping, along with a similar application to the one set aside for the retirement village housing, are still under assessment by ACT Planning.
The most recent housing application was lodged under the new planning act, while the overturned one was lodged under an old act.
The tribunal is yet to publish written reasons for the decision to set aside the DA for 125 homes, but The Canberra Times understands all parties are considering their options.
"Mbark and the Board will consider its next steps on this decision, including its rights of appeal in the ACT Supreme Court," Federal Golf Club president Regina Neary said in an email to members.
"While this decision is disappointing, there remains a further application for the retirement village under assessment by the ACT Planning Authority," the email read. The golf course gave a similar statement to The Canberra Times.
MBark's director David Consalvi said his team would consider aspects of their current proposal and previous approvals for the site.
"If ultimately that is not able to achieve an approval in its current form, the planning controls on the site would allow us to consider other options," he said.
"We are obviously disappointed with the delay to our ability to support our ageing population in the local area with a high-quality downsizing option," he said.
"We still believe the village is a much-needed resource within the area."
The tribunal is expected to release reasons for the decision in the coming days.
Friends of Federal Fairways has been contacted for comment.
The club can confirm 34-year-old Rockhampton-born
has inked a two-year deal that will see him pull on the Broncos jersey for the first time since 2017 and 15 years after Hunt made his NRL debut for the club
The former Dragons halfback and his family met with Broncos officials over the past fortnight and will relocate in the coming weeks
20 Origin appearances and 334 NRL games under his belt
his homecoming brings with it a wealth of experience
“We’re thrilled to be bringing Ben and his family home – where he belongs
“Players of his calibre don’t stay available for long
and it was important to us for Ben to know he was very much wanted here
but we also understand that this was a big decision for Ben and his family
“I’m pleased we’ve been able to work with Ben and his management to make this happen as quickly as we could
Bridget and the boys back to Brisbane very soon.”
Brisbane Broncos Head Coach Michael Maguire
he’s proven himself at every level of the game
He’ll bring us great depth and will be a wonderful fit for what we are building – not just on the field
He’ll play a big part in building the culture we want to create together as a group
and it would be incredibly special if he can do that back here at the Broncos – these types of storylines don’t come up all that often in sport.”
It was a tough decision for myself and my family
but in my heart it was really always driving me back to the Broncos
“To be able to finish my career at the Broncos is something that I never thought I’d have the opportunity to do and I’ll cherish it
“It’s definitely a club that has meant a lot to me
I’ve been involved with the Broncos since I was 13
I’ve been away for 7 years but I’ve watched every single Broncos game since I’ve been away - I never thought this would happen
“The chance now to head back and chase that Premiership together
“I’ve had a fair few calls people back home (Central Queensland) but needed to make the best decision for myself
“I’ve never had the opportunity to work under Madge but meeting and speaking with him and Dave during this process – I know he’s someone I believe in and I can’t wait to work under him
they’re both footy mad and were with us when we visited the club last week

The single residential property, located in the Melbourne metropolitan area of Red Hill, is on the market with Kay & Burton.
The price guide for the property is between $1.5 million and $1.65 million.
At first glance, the amount for the one-bedder at 1 Pine Avenue appears confusing.
The Nordic inspired home is indeed charming. It has tasteful timber finishes, modern comforts including a TV, microwave, loft bed, day bed, spacious decking and fire pit.
The off-grid lifestyle relies on solar power and a bank of storage batteries for power and there is a ton of privacy in its bushland location.
On closer inspection, things become clearer. This home has a lot more going for it, acres more in fact.
This tiny home will stun with its giant sale price
Tiny home with huge price tag will stun with its clever use of space
Tiny house can sleep two families for under $850,000
The location, 1 Pine Avenue, is down a quiet country lane, which according to the listing “is set within a tranquil hinterland setting of 10 acres”. Give or take.
“A large alfresco deck overlooks an impressive landscaped fire pit area set against the majestic treed surrounds,” the listing continues.
“Access to Red Hill Village, nearby vineyards and the freeway make this the perfect secluded hinterland escape.”

The Block judge Marty and wife Charlotte, co-founders of rapidly expanding Whitefox Real Estate, are letting go of an Edwardian flip in Elsternwick and a renovated holiday cottage in Red Hill.
Selling both at the same time was not by design, says Marty Fox, 37, the Whitefox chief executive and an expert flipper. “It’s just how it’s sort of all panned out.” .
The father-of-three describes the 720-square-metre north-facing Elsternwick delight at 25 Allison Road, which was saved from bulldozers last year, as having a “vibe”.
Sporting a Saint Tropez-inspired design, the four-bedroom home features a deep garden with Nathan Burkett landscaping, French oak floors and imported chandeliers. There’s underfloor heating in the main bedroom’s en suite, the main bathroom, the powder room and the laundry.
“It was marketed as a bit of a knockdown, but we’ve got a bit of an uncanny ability of restoring, and, you know, reinvigorating these beautiful old period homes,” Fox says. “My wife saw this one, and a year ago, when we bought it, she just said, ‘Oh, this is it. We’re going to bring this back to life.’ And we did.”
Inspired by a trip to the south of France earlier this year, the couple – parents to Freddy, 7, Olive, 5, and Bonnie, 2 – sent photos to their interior designer with a specific brief to transform the property.
“We said, ‘The brief is Saint Tropez in Elsternwick,’ ” Fox says. “We’ve given a house that was possibly going to be bulldozed just an incredible energy.”

The Block’s best main bedrooms in 20 seasons
Among Fox’s favourite spots at the property, which is located near a lovely park, is hanging out in a booth with banquette seating that looks onto the deep garden, one of many quirky features he enjoys.
“It’s arguably on the best street in Elsternwick, which has Harleston Park, which is a really beautiful park,” Fox says. “My wife used to play there as a child.”
Fox’s own upbringing was not as stable, living with his folks in more than 50 different homes across Victoria, and attending seven different schools. Much of his success derives from humble beginnings, driven by a passion to never be evicted from a property as an adult, after experiencing this over and again as a child, he says.
“I had to share a bedroom with my mum and my brother, and, you know, for many years, lived in a one bedroom apartment,” he says, candidly. “I did it fairly rough in terms of my upbringing. It certainly wasn’t silver spoon, and I think that’s where I fell in love with property.
“As soon as I could work and make money, I just wanted to have a house that I could call home … I did it at the age of 21 and I’ve maintained that until today.”
“We always renovate homes and sell them. And, hand on heart, we would live in any home that we renovate, even if it is to flip. We’ve always had that vision.”
Bringing much success, their rule of thumb has always been to possess a design mindset as the end user.
“I was obviously in real estate, so I always knew what the buyer wanted,” Fox says, “so like I say on The Block, ‘You need to design homes thinking as an end user.’
“We know that a family will buy Allison Road. We know that they’ll probably want to put in a pool, so we did landscaping very simply at the back – and architecturally at the front – so that they can visualise dropping a pool in. We’ve allowed it to remain exciting for the next person to buy it.”
The Foxes are also selling their “beautiful little Peninsula getaway” – the cottage at 361 Arthurs Seat Road, Red Hill, snapped up in 2021 – as it has become surplus to the young family.
With weekend kids’ sports they’ve found less opportunity to escape, plus more business travel, and gratefully owning a similarly sized backyard at their Toorak home.
The renovated 1950s home sits on a 1548-square-metre block in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula’s wine country. Complete with a picket fence, its period charm meets modern design with several fireplaces and luxuries like en-suite underfloor heating, a self-contained studio and an electric car charger.
There is a kids’ paradise out the back, featuring a year-round heated pool and in-ground trampoline surrounded by a manicured garden dotted with mature water gums and pear trees.
Fox loves waking up in Red Hill, making a coffee, sitting on the elevated deck, and enjoying the birds and the forest views before anyone else wakes up. “I love that, because that’s where the sun comes up in the morning,” he says.
When it comes to renovating, the couple’s skill sets complement one another.
Fox says he is all over the acquisition, understanding end value, planning the designs, moving the rooms internally, and often changing a room’s purpose.
“I also look after everything outside the property, the landscaping, street appeal, and what inclusions are within the yard,” he says. “Charlotte nails the materiality – the selections of stone and carpets and lighting, appliance selection and more.”
2 Baths4 ParkingView listing When it’s time for marketing, photography and video, the ball bounces back to Fox, who, fortunately placed with 90 staff to choose from, “selects the best agent within Whitefox to represent the actual sale”.
Appearing as a judge on the highest-rated TV show in the country, The Block, he backs himself from the experience gained from calling thousands of auctions, owning 12 renovated real estate offices, 15-plus homes and 12-plus commercial fitouts.
“I rock up on the day and they just say, go for it,” he says of being on the series set on Phillip Island. “And I just find that that’s probably why the show’s such a success, is that it is so organic, and they truly trust me as a judge to deliver what I think, and they trust what I think.”

Update October 2024: This review was originally written in 2022
so please be aware that some elements may have changed since
Time Out Melbourne never writes starred reviews from hosted experiences – Time Out covers restaurant and bar bills for reviews so that readers can trust our critique
Stepping onto Tedesca’s gravel path is like entering a farm – the expensive yet humble-looking kind that welcomes you in with a white Hamptons-style pergola enlaced with grape vines and perfectly undone stacked rows of firewood
fields of homegrown produce and a cottage for those lucky enough to snap up a coveted booking
If Tedesca were an osteria by Italian definition – a casual
unpretentious place serving wine and simple food – the interior fits the bill
The gobsmackingly large wooden door; the fire on and crackling; the tables set with rustic off-white and red-striped tablecloths
designed by owner Brigitte Hafner’s architect husband Patrick Ness
feels like someone’s living room – cosy and centred around a big kitchen fire oven that commands your attention
It’s like being at a friend’s place (if your friend owned a really impressive property in Red Hill and makes otherworldly dishes out of humble produce)
Tedesca, meaning “little German girl” in Italian, was the nickname affectionately given to Hafner during her time in Guy Grossi’s Florentino kitchen
Between Hafner and business-partner-slash-wine-guru James Broadway
you know you’re in good hands from start to finish.
the menu – handwritten by Hafner at the beginning of each service – loosely details five courses and no
it doesn’t begin with the usual variation of bread and butter
there’s a bite-sized small fried zippoli to line your palate – a tiny doughnut ball with the zingy surprise of an anchovy inside
This is the kind of one-biter you’ll be craving days
The show begins with small mezze plates that heroes produce from the farm
Fresh slices of persimmon and shavings of jamon; fava dip ready to be scooped up with fluffy
salty focaccia; mussels which need only to shine alone
“on the nearby Flinders pier by Harry the Mussel Man”
The cellar is brimming with both local and European drops to match
many on the natural side and available by the glass
From the wood oven comes roasted coral trout with such impeccably crisp skin it’d make for an ASMR meditation
It makes way for some form of pasta that always features in course three – on this occasion
perfectly executed tortelloni filled with small chunks of mortadella enmeshed in the nutty smoothness of mascarpone
it would be that there wasn’t more of it – or a slice of focaccia to soak up the remaining sage butter
that is – mop up the sauce on the plate
It almost feels blasphemous to leave it behind
The flow continues with a hearty slow-cooked roasted lamb shoulder and a Lebanese-style rice kept warm inside the fireplace
Whilst jewelled rice can quickly lend itself to being dry
this one’s fluffy and fragrant with swirls of mince
currants and almonds all working into the mix
a testament to Hafner’s instinctual cooking that’s seemingly less about defining a cuisine and more about showcasing produce.
Given Tedesca only holds about 35 diners at any given time and is only open for lunch service from Friday to Monday
you’d think you’re going to be rushed out of your sitting
we’ve become accustomed to watching the clock as we dine
our peripheral vision usually catching a line of keen diners ready to replace us the minute the bill is called upon
But perhaps that is the greatest beauty of Tedesca – the way it facilitates a confusing sense of time
The dichotomy of it both not existing and somehow being everything makes the experience what it is
Under the watchful eyes of Hafner and Broadway
The waitstaff may look sophisticatedly relaxed in their chic uniforms of grey flannel trousers
crisp oversized white shirts and white sneakers (giving off an English garden countryside vibe
just to help you with the visual) but nothing is lax about the service
This is fine dining hospitality – to match the $195 per person price tag – but with ease and effortlessness
with its buttery golden pastry complemented by a mandarin ice cream care of the garden
And while in theory everything at Tedesca seems effortlessly incidental
Everything’s considered in this magical land of culinary Oz
is why Tedesca is worthy of its months-long waitlist
even amongst Victoria’s rich dining scene
And it is masterfully executed to keep us wanting more

This is the legacy of Tate McRae: hard-hitting dark pop bangers that give her space to put her footwork into play.
More Tate McRae Tate McRae is one of those lightning-in-a-bottle phenomenons, rising up the ranks into stardom with the likes of Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and the pop girl ilk of the TikTok/Brat zeitgeist. Combining the Y2K style of Britney Spears (with the dance moves to boot) and the youthful sadness of contemporary pop, Tate creates catchy earworms. She’s got the hits, but can she bring them to life?
Accompanying McRae on her Think Later Australia dates is Seattle native charlieonnafriday, providing a modern hip-hop sound not unlike that of pre-country Post Malone or The Kid LAROI. Enough is an 808 drum built around guitar verses and a love-scorned tale, whereas I’m Not Crazy samples Matchbox Twenty’s Unwell and turns it into a saccharine pop song with a driving chorus. It’s a good time and it’s enough to get you tantalised before Tate.
In the only acceptable fashion of entering a stage, the ex-Dance-Moms diva-turned-pop star strides out onto the stage after a lengthy monologue about overthinking. Receiving a warm welcome from thousands of phones armed, ready, and set to record.
The stage beams to life as four men in white tank tops dance around a scantily clad Tate McRae in yellow to the title track of the sophomore album and the tour namesake, Think Later. “Perth, what’s up? My name is Tate McRae. Nice to meet you guys; she beams before following this up with a rock rendition of Hurt My Feelings and Uh Oh, which sees her balance precariously with two female dancers on a metal beam as she breathes through the vocals.
It’s a high-impact show with a focus on the choreography, of which McRae is an athlete. Choosing at times to let the backing track carry the song as she twirls and shakes around the stage to a wonderous light show.
What’s Your Problem, Stay Done and Feel Like Shit are a string of introspective and gripping songs. Where she chooses to strip down the stage to a spotlight to prove that she can, in fact, sing if she wants, and rather well at that. They sound magnificent, the latter especially pulls right at the heartstrings as a crowd of 5,000 sob to the skyline of Perth City.

During the ballad, Messier pauses mid-song to get security to help a girl in need before things pick right back to the extreme as hair is tossed around to the sound of camera flashes. Cut My Hair is an outrageously seductive R&B number about doing it better than the other girl.
After a brief hiatus, the star returns to a stage that is now decorated like a boxing ring. Wrapping her body around the ropes, she bounces from Rubberband straight to Exes, jettisoning into the song with enough force to blow you right off the steps of Red Hill.
It’s infectious, hard-hitting 2000s R&B with a twist, and she injects it straight into your veins—spitting a bridge so quick you have to pause and question what it is she just said whilst she’s already diving straight into a full-fledged dance routine without stopping for breath. This is the legacy of Tate McRae: hard-hitting dark pop bangers that give her space to put her footwork into play.
You Broke Me First is ripped straight out of a diary entry about being wronged in love and the one that put the lovelorn songstress on the map. It hits even harder here, and you can tell how much her voice has improved over the years.
She slicks from bouncy R&B into guitar-heavy rock influences as the seductive Guilty Conscious and We’re Not Alike become Run For The Hills and She’s All I Wanna Be with their punchy Olivia Rodrigo-esque electric guitar riffs. Even the EDM-tinged 10:35 has a rock influence, bringing new life to the track.
A brief hiatus sees an over-eager crowd chanting Hey Baby (uhh ahh) in order to get the superstar back out to play radio-friendly pop bangers It’s Ok I’m Ok, and the 2024 summer smash Greedy, applying pressure with knife precision dance moves for each one as a final send-off. She gives a kiss goodbye, knowing full well she just fell into the hearts of everyone on the hill.
There’s a true star power that emanates from the stage where everything feels both intense and effortless, as if the 21-year-old has spent a lifetime honing her craft.
The crowd hangs on to every single word, parroting the songs back at tenfold the decibels. The production, from the band to the staging and even to the dancers themselves, all felt authentic but somehow also like a perfectly refined machine.
Yet the energetic performer herself ties the whole thing together with a wry grin and a tongue-in-cheek wink that makes you wish she stayed for more.
which means it was correctly assessed under an old planning act
