Thing to eat for breakfast: scrambled eggs with bacon on toast, served with a side of pancakes and maple syrup – an extra frothy cappuccino, freshly made berry smoothy and a glass of super chilled Rosé.

Way to spend Sunday afternoon: my fiancé on my right and my friends on my left, enjoying a cool beer.

View in Brisbane: from Kangaroo Point Cliffs.

What’s your middle name – does it have special significance? I have two - James and Gregg. Both my father and grandfather were called James Gregg Shannon, so they called me Neil James Gregg Shannon – to avoid confusion!

Do you still have anything from your childhood? Bobo the teddy, I migrated here two years ago and he came with me.

If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Airlie Beach – overlooking Abel Point Harbour.

What can’t you live without? Monika (my other half) and Guinness.
