He’s the face of Toowoomba’s Carnival of Flowers but how much do you really know about James O’Shea?

Listen here for the man that is! 🩵🩵🩵

James O’Shea is a well known local figure.
He currently serves as a Councillor on the Toowoomba Regional Council.

Prior to this, James was the chief of staff at WIN News. As it happens, James had the pleasure of working at WIN with his well-known, racing identity father, Pat O’Shea.

James is the product of Pat and Cecile, a Filipino national. He and his two sisters grew up together on Jellicoe Street and he shares with Megan many of his childhood memories from this period.

James has a public face but is a man who thinks and feels deeply. He shows his true colours in this delightful interview.

How good!
You know we’re big Brisbane Lions fans of course but how good is hiring a dress to go to the races!
I love everything about it.
Thanks sjcollectivedh for making me look flash.

This legend!
It’s been a little while, recorded last month but it was a joy none the less.
You thought you liked
Mark Copland before…..now you know why!

Dr Mark Copland is first and foremost a humanitarian.

His core values revolve around compassion, empathy and solidarity with others.

He donates his time to charity, raises awareness about social issues and constantly offers a helping hand to someone in need.

No, he’s not Jesus…in fact his friends describe him like this “he’s just good fun, slightly goofy and a bit nerdy and genuinely funny”.

Who doesn’t want their own personal styling session? Here’s the kicker, you get to keep one entire outfit, all for $130!

In turn you pay it forward for a woman in our community who might need a boost. 🩵🩵

I recently had the pleasure of visiting kindher_threads in Toowoomba - founded by the amazing Cindy 💜

This organisation gives pre-loved clothes a second life by saving them from landfill and uses them to help women feel confident and cared for. When someone books a styling session, they’re not just choosing sustainable fashion - they’re also paying it forward so a woman in need can enjoy a session too.

🧵 Kindness, confidence and community - all stitched together.

I am so super proud of our eldest son and his girlfriend, today they became homeowners. They have entered the property market!

I still can’t quite believe that I bought my first house in Albion in Brisbane for $150k and now, one generation later, their first house in Toowoomba has cost them over $700k.

They have worked so hard and now they own an emporium of wacky wallpaper. The house has such great energy, it’s backstory is beautiful. It’s perfect.

I must have said something slightly amusing (inappropriate more likely) when presenting prizes today.

Legend photographer Charles Dove (LHS background) organises an annual art competition for kids aged 6 to 12. This year’s theme was colour pencil drawn Australian wildlife. Stunning entries.

Green looks good on me, especially 💚💚

Today we caught up with our cousin Ross Duncan. Ross played test for Australia in 1971.

He was dropped for the Sixth Test in favour of Dennis Lillee …pfft, that idea will never fly.

Only 2️⃣ short weeks ago I came home from session 1️⃣ of the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation program in the . I’ve got another 3️⃣ sessions over the next 15 months.

I’m pictured here with Mark Redman from Prime Super, my sponsor. It was such an honour to have him there on our last day.

I didn’t even have the energy to tell him I’m actually quite a well put together person IRL . I was spent, but I’ve thought of my experience endlessly.

Are you stuck in your comfort zone? You’re not alone. ARLP drove me to shake things up because leadership growth means choosing discomfort, challenge and real impact.

Here’s the great news for you 📣

💥 Applications for Course 33 of the Australian Rural Leadership Program are open now.

Patrick William Sullivan (1934-2025)

This is my dear father-in-law Pat, just last Sunday. He has the same quizzical look he wore most of his life. Slightly amused, always ready to listen and share in the joys of your life.

Pat lived his life as a truly gentle man (and a gentleman). He worked hard, he dedicated his life to his family and his charity work, and the odd game of golf. He was incredibly humble, modest and generous.

Pat has been a role model to my husband and sons, like no other. He has shown them, you can be kind and loving as a man and all that love will come back to you.

We will celebrate Pat’s life at St Anthony’s Wednesday 9 July at 12.00pm.
