JESS Cameron was speechless when she won the 2013 Belinda Clark Award, one of women’s cricket’s most prestigious prizes. But the vivacious local has no trouble speaking about the place she calls home, writes John Hazeldene
What’s your favourite place to grab a coffee and a bite to eat?
I go to Chatterbox Cafe on Watton Street for my skinny cap and Hoppers Junctions Cafe on Old Geelong Road for a bite to eat for breakfast. I love their ham, cheese and tomato toasties. For dinner, the family goes to Curry Guru for a beef or lamb korma or to Baffetti Ristorante E’Bar– both of them on Watton Street. We spend a lot of time on that street.
What do you do in your down time?
I train at In-Balance Fitness quite a bit, but I do enjoy going to Fifth Element Day Spa on the weekend when I don’t have to train. Most people wouldn’t think so, but for me getting a remedial tissue massage is a great way to relax after a long week.
What would you change in your neighbourhood?
Personally, I think the area could do with more recreation areas. I think we need more places to sit and relax outside. I love my area, but we do have an awful lot of footy ovals.
Where do you go to buy your threads?
Rebel Sport at Werribee Plaza seems to be where I spend most of my time buying clothes.
Funniest moment while out and about?
My family used to go down to the Werribee River, since it’s only a short walk from our house. The river had a fair bit of algae on it but my older brother Max, who was seven, thought it was grass so he just kept walking … he got completely soaked.
