Tracey Lee Holmes: A Life Through Sport

With honesty and insight, Tracey Lee Holmes looks back on a pioneering career and a lifelong journey through the world of sport.

For over 30 years, Tracey Lee Holmes has been a trailblazer in Australian broadcasting – breaking ground as the first female host of a national sports program and championing gender equality both on and off the field.  

Now, with the release of her new book The Eye of the Dragonfly: A Life Seeing the World Through Sport, she reflects on sport’s unique power to uplift the human spirit – or expose its deepest flaws – and the insights gained over a remarkable career spent documenting it all.  

A sharp-eyed commentator on the intersection of sport, politics and society, Holmes takes the stage in Ballarat to share electrifying stories of athletic triumph and heartbreak, while examining the powerful forces of money, politics, and discrimination that continue to shape the world of sport.

Tracey will be hosted by radio, television and podcast producer turned lawyer, Tess Armstrong.
