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...

After 12 days of fierce competition, the 2020 Paralympic Games ended with a spectacular Closing Ceremony on Sunday night. Tokyo’s ‘Harmonious Cacophony’ looked like a carnival-inspired video game brought to life: bright colours, pumping tunes, breakdancing, stilt walkers,...

To say it was a HUGE first week of #Tokyo2020 would be an understatement! Our athletes have been absolutely world class, making waves with the best of the best! Because they are the best of the best!! 

And don’t they look good, too. The Australian Olympic Team team uniforms are the...

They say how you start determines how you finish. If you go in feeling prepared and confident, some early wins can give you an edge and propel you forward. 

If that’s anything to go by, #Tokyo2020 is going to be a Games to remember (and Australia is going to bring home medals in the...

We did it!!!

Last night's vote and announcement make it official: Brisbane will host the Games in 2032!!

It’s been a long race, but we have finally crossed the finish line! As John Coates AC said in last night's address, it actually started 35 years ago, when Brisbane made its first...
