The Canberrans — Catherine Carter

A former Army brat who spent some time in Canberra as a child, Catherine agreed to relocate to the national capital when she married a Canberra man—the proviso being it would be for a maximum of two years. Twenty years on, she has no plans to leave. In 2018, she founded Salon Canberra, a thinktank and networking venture which seeks to bring a diverse range of people together—from the arts, property industry, academia and innovation— to enrich the city’s potential. In this episode, Catherine discusses how Salon has facilitated connections – and the ways in which it is already impacting on the city. The Canberrans is a video series and podcast produced by Newcast Studios in collaboration with HerCanberra, Lonsdale St. Studio and Salon Canberra.
