Women of Wynnum Manly is a fortnightly podcast that dives into the stories behind the women who contribute to the proud sense of community that is a piece of paradise in Brisbane’s bayside. Allana has lived in Wynnum with her husband, dog, cat and (sometimes) granddog since 2016. She fell in love with the stunning sunrises, gets excited by a good bargain in the op shops, and enjoys the easy nature and friendliness of the local people. Feeling like the Wynnum area is in a transition stage, with an eclectic mix of old and new, Allana wants to dig deeper into the incredible women who are part of the community she loves. The Traditional Owners of the Wynnum Manly area are the Quandamooka People. They have lived on the lands and seas surrounding Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) for at least 21,000 years.
Allana is a wife, mother, grandmother and parent of a fur dog and cat. She has lived in Wynnum since 2016. Allana works full-time but enjoys contributing to the local area through volunteering and sharing the stories of local women through her podcast. She also spends time running and walking along the Esplanade, holidays, reading, movies at Bayside Cinema and hanging out with family and friends.
