This week Annie tells Yvie all about Lillian May Armfield, one of Australia’s first policewomen detectives who patrolled the eastern suburbs of Sydney in 1915 - a time when Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh ruled the streets. Lillian spent her days looking for runaway girls, catching cocaine dealers and going undercover to bust fortune tellers. We also introduce our youngest listener (sorry mum!) and Annie needs help with a strange animal in her backyard.
