In this electrifying episode, Sean ventures into the shadowy remnants of Melbourne’s past, where a routine investigation into a ghost sign for "MISS WATSON’S MOTOR GARAGE" unexpectedly spirals into a thrilling historical revelation. As Sean peels back the layers of paint and history, he uncovers the story of Myra Watson, a defiant pioneer who shattered societal expectations by operating a motor garage in the early 20th century—an era when cars symbolised the cutting edge of freedom but were largely deemed off-limits for women.

With a detective’s eye and historian’s zeal, Sean weaves a compelling narrative that resurrects the lives and legacies of Myra Watson and Alice Anderson, her contemporary who also ran a groundbreaking all-women garage nearby. His journey through the musty pages of Sands & McDougal Directories and the digital depths of the Trove archives reveals not just the technical details of their enterprises, but the indomitable spirit of these women who dared to redefine their roles in society.

This episode is more than just a tribute to these unsung heroines; it’s a fiery call to recognise and preserve the markers of their existence. Sean’s narrative challenges us to consider the broader implications of Myra and Alice's defiance against rigid gender norms, igniting a discussion on heritage and women’s rights that resonates deeply today. Tune in for a dose of history that’s not just told, but vividly brought to life—this is Victoria’s history, but not as you know it.
