Alison in Canberra-land

Linnett Turner joins Penny and husband-of-half-of-the-pod Lincoln to talk about Alison Sanchez (nee Binns). Linnett's mother Alison grew up in Canberra in the early days of Australia's capital. A tragedy in her early-20s transformed Alison's plans and she travelled the world before returning to Canberra again.Trove
