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 22 - Alex Givney, Lord Mayor's Representative for Wynnum Manly Ward
It was interesting hearing about Alex's journey to the Bayside, all the way from WA! She has since been a long term local with an extended connection to the Moreton Bay Boys school, firstly as a teacher. The conversation taught me a lot about the history of the school. Alex also talked about why she nominated as a candidate as Councillor for Wynnum Manly Ward.
This chat took us all over the place, from the lengthy journey it took for Alex to become a Baysider, meeting the love of her life, and talking about her involvement with African tours with the boys from the school. Alex is a big supporter of the area.
Enjoy learning more about Alex Givney.
