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 17 - Clair Molyneux, CEO of Sit N Chat
For those who head down to the waterfront on weekends, you may have seen some people in orange tshirts and Sit N Chat banners. One of those people is Clair. Clair donates her time to listen to others who may be lonely and need a chat.
I had a really nice chat with Clair, getting to understand the background behind her idea that is an original concept but valuable to many.
You can follow Sit N Chat on Facebook, email Claire at Clair@sitnchat.org or go to sitnchat.org. She would love to hear from people who may be interested in adding to the list of volunteers to sit and chat to people, or anyone who may be interested in sponsoring their nice merchandise. Enjoy learning more about Clair and Sit N Chat.
