Queenslanders are hard workers and Ros Peters is no different.

Mrs Peters has just retired at the age of 87 after working at Target Chermside for 40 years.

Before her Target days, Ros was also one of the first female police officers in Queensland.

Ros Peters told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "I was in the first batch and there was 97 men and just three women."

"We had to do the exact same training as the men, we didn't get away with anything."

"I enjoyed every moment of it," Mrs Peters said.
