Jonathan Brown’s loyalties might forever remain in Brisbane, but for the past couple of years he and his family have called the Gold Coast home.

The move down the M1 not only meant that Brown could be closer to his wife Kylie’s family, but also meant that he could find a larger property and be closer to the beach – two things that he was used to growing up in Warrnambool.

In part five of “Browny – The People’s Champ”, Lions TV followed Brown to the beach for one of his regular pre-game rituals.

“I like to get down the beach and have a bit of a swim,” Brown said.

“I’ve always loved the water, so it’s good living a bit closer to the water now for the past couple of years.

“I must admit it’s a bit more enjoyable than down the south-west of Victoria where you can’t swim that much because it’s a lot colder down Warrnambool way.”

Brown even seems to have adopted the Gold Coast fashion by donning a pair of technicolour boardshorts that he admits are a bit “un-Browny-like”.
