The day began with a beach cleanup at the iconic Bondi Beach, demonstrating the contestants’ commitment to preserving the environment—a core value of the Miss Earth organisation.
Beach Cleanup at Bondi Beach
Under the radiant morning sun, the finalists gathered at Bondi Beach, ready to make a difference. Armed with gloves, bags, and a passion for the environment, the contestants combed the sands for litter, working together to restore the beach’s pristine condition. This initiative not only highlighted the importance of environmental stewardship but also allowed the finalists to bond over their shared mission of advocating for a cleaner, greener planet.
A Stylish Stop at Budgy Smuggler
After their environmental efforts, the contestants shifted gears and made their way to Miss Earth Australia sponsor Budgy Smuggler, a brand renowned for its bold and colourful swimwear. Here, the finalists had the exciting opportunity to choose the swimwear that they would be showcasing during the main event. The energy was electric as the contestants explored the vibrant designs, each selecting pieces that reflected their unique style and personality.
