Australian Story

Last Drinks (27x13)

:

Self-described "small town drunk" Shanna Whan has done what no one else has been prepared to do in rural Australia. She's outed herself as a recovering alcoholic and is using her story to highlight the all-pervasive culture around booze in the bush. The founder of Sober in the Country was named ‘Local Hero’ in this year’s Australian of the Year awards for her advocacy. In an update to our 2019 episode, Australian Story goes on the road with Shanna as she takes her message to political leaders.
