Having witnessed so many people in such deeply personal moments, Julia Zemiro was as prepared as she could be to share her heartbreak with Gardening Australia’s Costa Georgiadis, with whom she shares several life experiences
After being driven in fabulous retro cars by 60 famous Australians, 12 Britons, and Sam Neill, back to their childhood homes over nine seasons of ABC’s celebrity nostalgia series,At the end of this final, four-episode season – after she has stoked the memories of Ray Martin, Marcia Hines and Stephen Page – Julia Zemiro makes the journey back to the flat above her family’s former Bondi restaurant.
Having witnessed so many people in such deeply personal moments, Zemiro was as prepared as she could be. She knows full well it is an emotional minefield. In previous episodes, Sam Neill and Rebecca Gibney confronted their difficult relationships with their fathers. Greg Pickhaver spoke of loathing his home town of Adelaide. Alan Brough’s relief after the final take was palpable. The Hoodoo Gurus’ Dave Faulkner teared up remembering his beloved dad.
“If they’re good memories, you’re thankful,” says Zemiro. “If they’re bad memories … look, you’ve got to face difficult stuff. I think people are reflective, and I think most of our guests have been over the age of 40. When you’re over 40, you’ve done a bit of work on yourself, and you’ve learnt a few things.”The definition of “home” broadened at times, so that in 2018, Germaine Greer could revisit Cambridge in the UK, where she felt her life began, rather than her native Melbourne.
