A very exciting announcement this week: I will be joining the board (OCOG) for the 2032 Games in Queensland! 

It will be my honour to help shape and deliver what will be the greatest event ever to come to Queensland, alongside Annastacia Palaszczuk MP, Steven Miles MP and Patrick Johnson OLY...

I was 13 years old when I visited my first World Expo in South Bank, Brisbane back in 1988. 

What we now know as South Bank Parklands are the legacy of Expo 88, and I can still vividly remember my excitement as a kid, heading into the city after school to visit all the different...

The Australian team has just wrapped up its most successful Winter Games ever! From moguls to curling, figure skating, bobsleigh, freestyle skiing and more, the Australian Olympic Team seemed to be everywhere!

Our first gold medals were won only 20 years ago by speed skater Steven Bradbury and...

I’ve recently returned from an inspiring week travelling around regional Queensland, from Charters Towers (where my Grandma was born) to Hughenden, to Cloncurry and Normanton (population 1200ish people, and some big crocs!), and even my hometown of Townsville. I love any opportunity to...

It’s been a while between blogs, but that doesn’t mean life has slowed down… in fact, it’s quite the opposite! 

And while I still have a touch of the post-Tokyo blues (anyone else with me?), it was fantastic to welcome home our OLYmpic and Paralympic champions in...

While our Paralympians are blitzing it in Tokyo, most of our OLYmpians are fresh out of quarantine and ready to be officially welcomed home… although these days that looks less like the old-school ticker tape parade, and more like a fancy black tie dinner! 

A question I’ve been...

The road to Tokyo has been particularly bumpy for our para-athletes. Over the last five years, but particularly the past 12 months, they’ve had to draw on every bit of their determination, courage, and resilience.

But this week, we finally got to watch their triumphant start to #Tokyo2020!...

We saw so many astounding, inspiring, joyful and courageous moments with our Tokyo OLYmpians, and the 12 days of Paralympics are set to be just as jam-packed!

From Tuesday 24 August – Sunday 5 September, we’ll be seeing A LOT more green and gold on our screens! 

Australia is...

While the dust settles on Tokyo’s Olympic Stadium, and our OLYmpians are getting stuck into two weeks’ quarantine, I’m sitting here – like I’m sure many Aussies are – still in awe of everything I’ve seen over the 17 days of extraordinary...
