Event Description
From the end of the Great War and into the 1920s, Alice Anderson was considered a national treasure, excelling as a motoring entrepreneur and inventor. Alice was the first woman in Australia to successfully pull off an almost impossible feat: without family or husband to back her financially, she built a garage and established the country's first motor service run entirely by women. Find out more about this fascinating character with author Loretta Smith.
