Judy Gibson

In 1952, 'Miss Bondi' Judy Worrad [pictured right] won the 'Miss Pacific' beauty pageant. She would then marry Jack Gibson. 

"In 1954, she was a beautiful, young Bondi girl, who had been crowned Miss Bondi and Miss Pacific; he was from a poor family with a farmlet in semi-rural Caringbah.

''When he arrived an hour late for their first date, she told her parents, “tell him I’m out”.

He kept calling, and eventually convinced her to come outside, where she found his car bursting with flowers" - St George Leader, 2016.

“I think one of the secrets of our long life together lies in the different roles we took and in the different directions our interests took us," Judy wrote Ian Heads' 'A Sporting Life'.

"I believe the sort of independence we‘ve had is healthy. As long as you end up in the same place...that’s what matters.”
