During his youth, he was a scout, a keen sportsman, and school captain and dux of Atherton State High School. It was there that he met Heather, the childhood sweetheart to whom he is still happily married. Peter and Heather have three teenage children. Mr Beattie is a keen supporter of the Brisbane Broncos and Townsville Cowboys and on his frequent visits to regional Queensland can often be seen wearing one of their shirts on his regular 5.30am walk.
