Jocelyn Walker – A Life of Service
She grew up in Allora on the Darling Downs, worked at a telephone exchange in Ipswich, and together with her late husband had the foresight to open one of Queensland’s first 24-hour self-serve service stations on the Bruce Highway at a time when most Australians had never pumped their own fuel. Jocelyn Walker’s story is one of hard work, sharp instincts, and very good timing – and that was just the first chapter.
In this episode of Everyone Has a Story, Jocelyn talks about what it takes to build a business, her decades of philanthropic work with the University of the Sunshine Coast and LifeFlight, and why – long after she had every reason to slow down – she still has a diary that most people half her age couldn’t keep up with. If you’ve ever wondered what purpose, legacy, and a life well-lived look like, this is the episode for you. You can also read more about Jocelyn’s story HERE.
