Clare Stewart - Noosa's first female Mayor

About twelve months ago Clare Stewart was elected Mayor of Noosa and she became the first female Mayor in Noosa Council history. However, that's not what's remarkable about Clare. Twenty-one years ago, in Sydney, Clare was struck by a truck with her legs pinned under the weight of the truck for more than half an hour. She was conscious the whole time. The accident and Clare's recovery are detailed in her book Standing On My Own Two Feet, and what you'll hear with our chat here is the story of someone who overcame the odds, continued to pursue a professional career in law, and then eventually found her way into local government.
