Spanner - Winning As A Woman In A Man's World

Welcome to BRAVE, a podcast from the Townsville Community Information Centre.

Sharine Milne, better known as Spanner, is unforgettable. One day, in the midst of a long career in hospitality, her daughter asked a question that prompted Spanner to rethink her life, setting her on a course that today sees her owning and managing a motorcycle repair shop. On the way, she's had to face down sexist attitudes, structural obstacles, and disasters, but she's overcome all of them to stand out as a proud, Indigenous woman.

Spanner's story is just one of the many from our local community that we hope will inspire you.
