Warren ("Luck of the Irish") and Annette ("Roar") were splashed across the screens of National Nine News last night, and this morning I managed to track them down in Melbourne live for @westbremerradioipswich Come back here tomorrow to read and hear this week's story live from the AFL Grand Final. Go Lions! I was the first to drape the 2026 AFL premiership cup in club colours when I claimed it on behalf of the Brisbane Lions back in July when the cup and I were on the Tiwi Islands. For the AFL grand final this weekend, go Lions! @brisbanelions The rugby league heartland of Queensland’s Darling Downs has a surprising century-old link to an Australian Football League legend. Please follow the link on my profile for the story, "The Nurse Who Shaped an AFL Legend." What better way to prepare for the historic AFL grand final for the Brisbane Lions - and I will have been to all 8 of them - than opera in the former Upper House of the 1865 Queensland Parliament in Brisbane in support of @drug.arm . Tomorrow it's the parade in Melbourne! The original Shakespeare Hotel in Barcaldine was built in 1886 after being transported over For a century this one family was engulfed in death and destruction. Please Like and Share via the link on my profile the full story, "A Century of Winks Tragedy." Almost 120 years ago Dalby’s town clerk and council chambers both came to a bizarre end. The whole story has never been fully told until now. Please follow the link in my profile for the story, "Death in the Council Chambers." I could be on the cusp of exciting new discoveries relating to the Lost Grave of Maggie McNeill. The presentation of a 75-year-old second map of the ghost town means that I’m already planning a new expedition to the Queensland Outback for next winter in 2027. Over 150 years ago the city of Ipswich, Queensland, claimed a previously unknown and remarkable piece of political history, his name was William Matson. Please follow the link on my profile for this amazing story, "The Former Slave Who Challenged Queensland Politics."
