End of a Era<br />
In October 1998, the <strong>Miss</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> Company<br />
annnounced<br />
that in February 2000 it would cease to<br />
ope erate this great <strong>Australia</strong> icon. There were magic<br />
mooments,<br />
even episodes that created national<br />
conntroversy.<br />
This was the longest running quest in<br />
<strong>Australia</strong>,<br />
and can take pride in knowing that the<br />
<strong>Miss</strong>s<br />
<strong>Australia</strong> Quest/Awards has forged a place for<br />
itseelf<br />
in the living history of <strong>Australia</strong>.<br />
In 2000, the final <strong>Miss</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>, <strong>Miss</strong> Sheree<br />
Primmmer,<br />
was selected and announced for the<br />
<strong>Australia</strong>n<br />
<strong>Cerebral</strong> <strong>Palsy</strong> Association. The final<br />
juddging<br />
was held in Sydney.<br />
Maany<br />
critics gave the Quest a lifetime of no more<br />
thaan<br />
two years, but their predictions were proven<br />
incorrect.<br />
<strong>Miss</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> was successfully conducted<br />
for 45 years as a major fundraising medium for<br />
Thee<br />
Spastic Centres of <strong>Australia</strong>. Over its duration<br />
enttrants,<br />
their families, committees, sponsors and<br />
thee<br />
general public of <strong>Australia</strong> raised in excess of<br />
$877<br />
million.<br />
Pleaase<br />
note: From 2001, <strong>Australia</strong> has been represented in<br />
inteernational<br />
contests by <strong>Miss</strong> Universe <strong>Australia</strong>. This title<br />
has sometimes been erroneously labeled <strong>Miss</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> by<br />
the media – and this has caused some confusion.
