Alice Beilby is the Managing Director of Savannah Solutions, a consultancy and workforce development company, which she proudly founded in 2008. Alice is of Gungarri/Kamilaroi descent and has lived in the NT since 1982.

Alice’s story is the epitome of determination and hard work.

She is continually learning and jumping head first into the opportunities that arise in our frontier Territory, and Alice’s story is not finished yet!

So sit back with us on the couch at Crow Corner and listen to this remarkable woman’s untold story.

Ingrid Stonhill

Toni sat down with Ingrid Stonhill for a cracking yarn recently! Ingrid is the current CEO of Katherine Town Council. Born in the 'Land of the Log White Cloud' she now counts herself as a proud Aussie!

From Mooloolaba to Maningrida, Christchurch to Fiji and everywhere in between, this dynamic lady leads a life of passion and convistion.

While attending University in New Zealand, a tragedy changed her trajectory in life when she realised that she needed to give it her all because life really is such a precious gift. This led to her to spending a number of years in the USA working for a world famous blues musician as his media organiser, before heading off to London and meeting her future husband.

With a young family she continued her education, gaining a number degrees in business management, before they moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland, where Ingrid took on the CEO position Neighbourhood Watch Australasia, which took her all over Australia.

She took a leap of faith and applied for (and was successful) as the CEO of a very remote indigenous community in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory.

Working in such a remote location with a completely different culture changed her in many ways and finally led her to Katherine, a little Township of 11,000 people in outback Northern Territory. Ingrid proclaims that Katherine has the an unreal number of extraordinary, strong, resilient and powerful women. And we reckon she is one of them!

Ingrid has a warmth and genuineness you will feel in every word she speaks. A wonderful interview that shows how amazing the Untold Territory really is!
