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 16 - Sara Whitmee - Councillor for Wynnum Manly
Sara Whitmee became the councillor for Wynnum Manly in May 2023, and has been connected to the Bayside all of her life.
Since I first saw Sara was our new councillor I was intrigued about her, and what experience she had to take on the role. I had a lovely chat getting to know Sara, and she was really open with me about how she thought it over for a very long time before making a decision to become a councillor.
Sara certainly is a long standing Baysider and is warm and easy going and very keen to see the Bayside continue to thrive.
