Weird is the new normal: The magic of intentional thought

TV Presenter & Producer/MC/Host/Speaker/Production Company Director 

Chris Parsons’ media career began with an ad in the paper, ‘’WANTED: TV Presenter, Gold Coast Lifestyle Show - must be presentable, have good communication skills and ability to remember lines’’. Unsure how many of those attributes he actually possessed, Chris drove down the highway and into a career that has become his absolute passion. A career that has seen him present and produce numerous episodes of popular travel shows ‘Queensland Weekender’, ‘The Great South East’ and ‘Creek to Coast’, ‘One Road - Great Australian Road Trips and host of the national Lotto. 

In his travels there is barely a rock unturned and place he hasn’t discovered in this great state. And he has also had the opportunity to host some of the biggest events and functions around Queensland. 

While Chris can regularly be seen on Queensland Weekender and hosting Gold Lotto each week, he is also the Ambassador for Bareboating in the Whitsundays, commentator of the Queensland Ocean Swim Series, a Board Director of Southern Queensland Country Tourism and ambassador for Isuzu Ute Australia.
