Don’t miss this week’s HRA meeting. Amongst other things we have Melbourne author Loretta Smith talking about her book ‘A spanner in the works’ which brings to life the amazing story of Alice Anderson and Australia’s only ‘all-girl’ garage. As Melbourne’s best known woman in the 1920’s, Alice did so many amazing, pioneering things that we will hear about at the meeting.
