Irene Pantazis is the matriarch behind the Darwin institution, Parap Fine Foods. In this conversation with Jess Ong, Rene takes us back to her life as a young Greek-Australian woman in Darwin in the mid 1950s and 60s.

SPUN: True Stories Told in the Territory is a live storytelling event that showcases some of the extraordinary people and stories that make up the Northern Territory. Popping up at different venues across Darwin, working with a range of partner organisations with a different theme each time, SPUN brings to light stories from diverse backgrounds.

Rene's story was told at our 2017 Brown's Mart event REWIND, celebrating 60 years of local government in Darwin. Each storyteller covered a different decade.
