Out they go!

You’d be forgiven for thinking I had co-opted Andrew Shepard, to sandwich board for me because I’m desperate to get back into politics (pft).

No Shep is the Deputy Group leader for Toowoomba SES group, he's a volunteer and he came and collected my corflutes. The SES use them to repair roofs damaged by storms etc.

So I feel like the corflutes have finally been used for good (and not evil 😝)

Thanks Shep!

Every now and again you meet someone who’s light shines so brightly, Rojin is one of those 💥

Megan checks in again with Rojin Rash who first featured on Big Little Small Talk in 2022.

Rojin, along with her husband and young son fled war torn Syria to move to Toowoomba in 2017. They have settled here in Australia, had two more children and contributed greatly to the community.

Rojin now works as a Police Liaison Officer bridging the communication and trust gap between the Ezidi community and police. As an added bonus, this relationship fosters better understanding of the Ezidi culture by the police officers.

It is a joy to hear how Rojin’s life is progressing.

Recorded October 2025

Don’t mind if I do, thank you darling Vincent!

As it happens I quite like a gin and tonic on a Sunday afternoon. Not sure if patting myself on the back for raising a child with such high emotional intelligence is entirely appropriate
😜😉 😘

From meeting Daniel Sloper, Australia’s High Commissioner to NZ, to spending three days on a marae, learning to surf, spending time at with CEO Nick Saunter, to checking out kiwi and dairy farms, meeting with executives from and much much more.

All with a focus on generating deeper insight into leadership challenges and opportunities.

Thank you Prime Super for giving me this incredible opportunity to learn and grow.

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.

Blue sky, cool water, my sister. I’m in heaven.

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.

I am just home from recording the most cracking interview with Margaret Turnbull. She is the President of The Friends of the The Empire.

They’re all those friendly ( ) faces who usher, greet, guide us at events at our beautiful theatre.

Margaret is a breath of fresh air. Hear her views on tomorrow on 102.7 Toowoomba at 12.00pm
