Women of Wynnum Manly
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.

Episode 10 - Kylie Eastham from JT Signs
For over 20 years, Kylie Eastham has been a qualified signwriter. You don't have to go far in the Bayside to see her work on banners, on walls and on boats and cars.
I always made an assumption that Kylie was born and raised in Wynnum and was surprised by her response to the question about how she got to the Bayside.
Kylie is kind, unassuming and easy to be around. She is also generous. A couple of years ago I was organising the first Octogenarian parkrun event and reached out to Kylie to find out the cost of a banner for the event. Within half an hour Kylie responded to say that JT Signs would sponsor the banners, and she provided me not one but two banners with the beautiful Wynnum sunrise on.
To contact Kylie, email her at jt.signs.kylie@gmail.com, or find her on Instagram @jt_signs or JT Signs Facebook page.
