Australia's most Beautiful Women-by Ag
83I get asked frequently who I think are Australia's most beautiful and fashionable women.
I have at last decided to succumb to the pressure of listing who I feel are Australia's most beautiful women. Of course I realise the fashion and style changes with time and cultures.
I've admired female beauty all of my life and I don't really think I have seen a women yet that has not some beauty to project be it external or radiating from within.
Being an Australian I must be one of the luckiest guys to draw breath. I say this because without a shadow of doubt I could walk through the streets of Melbourne, not to mention Sydney or the lovely beaches we have here , and pick out women that would match the women on my list for beauty.
For my own safety I will not rate my ladies from 1-7. I have listed them purely randomly.
My list is not definitive and I have no idea how many women will be on the list .
My list will include women that have faded from public memory and indeed may not have been famous because of their beauty.

Who do you think is the most beautiful Australian Woman
See results without votingCandie V thanks very much for your kind comment.
Of course you are correct there are chocolates to cater for every mood. And I must say that sometimes even Candy would outrank chocolate . ;-)
MMMMM!!!! You are the sweet talker aren't you!!! *batting my eyes*!!!
Ag, you sly fox!
Ahhhh Ag - nice line-up there! I'm sure you had fun doing this :D No Nicole Kidman?? :)
Nice list, Ag. As Shalini observes, this was probably a fun hub to put together. :) Megan Gale got my vote!
Christoph , me a sly fox . Oh how could you think that.LOL
Well! I don't know what to say. Did you have fun?
Shalini, thanks for dropping by, oh yes you might say it was a labour of love.
With regard to Nicole Kidman. Hmmm how can I say this nicely.
Someone recently described her as 'wooden'. Well I can't disagree with that statement, although I probably would have used the word 'icy'. Not my cup of tea in the beauty stakes.
VioletSun, thanks for dropping by and voting it's always nice to see you.:-)
As I said above when commenting back to Candie V. Somedays I like Dark Chocolate some days I prefer Milk Chocolate.
But some days I like to just have a piece of Candy.
Hawkesdream , You don't know what to say ? Nooo! LOL
Now you know my secret, I'm the original 'Man who loves women'
Especially Aussie women. ;-)
Seems like you put in a lot of hard work there oh silver fox! :) And you guys are talking chocolate again?!!!
G'day, oh Cuddly one, how is my favourite errr.. Feline tonight?
Hard work!!!!. LOLOL
Chocolate, beautiful women. Above and below the "fold".
Really what more could a man ask for?
Pure eye candy!!! Oh how I love this hub!
beautiful collection ag, can't wait till you ad to it!
Australia unplugs, coming from another Aussie that is a nice compliment. As you well know these ladies are only the tip of the Ice berg (so to speak). There are so many beautiful women here in OZ it will be a struggle to see who to leave out.
I just may have to make another list.
Even though I am Australian, I can't vote on these...it's just too hard to choose!
Nemingha, LOL, I agree with you entirely, they are all beautiful in their own right.
To cite Candie V up on the top "just like a box of chocolates" ! . Which one would you choose.
Ahhh--- life is so difficult!!!!
LOLOL
Great list, I'd also rate Miranda Kerr up there with the best of them.
LOLOL LeonJane. You have no idea just how hard it was to keep Miranda Kerr off my list.
If I do make another list she will be on it FOR SURE. ;-)
Hi from Sydney, I agree with your choices!
stricktlydating, thanks for dropping by , nice to see more Aussie's on Hubpages.
YooooHooo!! Young man! I've got a basket of goodies for you!! What's your pleasure today???
Candie V, now let's see what will it be today ? Hmmmm ?
Oh my oh my so much to choose from your basket of goodies !
Tell me LRRH. Would you have any rose flavored Candy for me ??
:)
Great Country, Great Girls.. I´m Portuguese but love Australia..
:)
Sorry, no login - Great Country, Great Girls.. I´m Portuguese but love Australia..
:)
Richimag, thanks for the support I'll leave both of your comments here, because there are different. LOL
Why, looky here, Ag! I do have some lovely rose flavored candy in my basket! Please feel free to help yourself!!!
MMMMMM well bless my soul!!!! Yummy
(I'll leave the rest up the the reader's imagination.)
;-)
What an excellent list. Beautiful ladies. Austalia certainly is lucky in the natural beauty department. Perhaps the lifestyle? The climate? Wonderful information. Thanks Ag.
Frieda , thanks for dropping by , great to see you again!
Its nice to see beautiful ladies recognizing the beauty in others.
Nicole Kidman is very beautiful, though she is getting up in age. Maybe that is why she didn't make your life. It is hard for me to vote for just one. some good looking people do come from Australia, men and women.
Hi Sandyspider thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment.
HMMM just a comment on Nicole. I don't think age is a factor in my personal choice. After all I have Elle Macpherson there and she is getting up there.
If you can see a trend in my choices it seems to be for the "wholesome" 'cuddly' look rather than the bone china 'fragile' appearance of Nicole.
Yes even I must agree with you that we have some good looking guys here. I have been asked if i'm game to make a list . LOL
they are very beautiful. thanks for share with us. Nicole Kidman is my favorite.
prasetio 30 I've said enough about Nicole Kidman already, I think my personal favourite changes daily lol
I appreciate your dropping by and leaving a comment :-)
WOW! had no idea they are all Australian. I'm moving to Australia to see if I can catch one to myself ;)
emigrate to australia, LOL well it would depend on what you mean by catching one for yourself. Our women are not fish or some trophy you would hang on the wall !
Wow~ You sure did pick them they are all beautiful to me! :)
AEvans thanks very much for dropping by. I see you have an eye for beauty. :-)
You forgot Nicole Kidman, Kylie Minogue, Naomi Watts, and Olivia Newton-John.
Writer Rider, nope did not forget them at all, I've already commented above about Nicole and Naomi Watts just missed the cut by 'that much'. She would have been next, I swear ;-)
Although I love and admire both Kylie and Olivia as great Australians I don't regard them as beautiful in the context of this Hub. Maybe I should do a Hub on my most admired Australian women?

I'm not voting. It's like choosing between chocolates. We in the States don't have access to your soaps so I'm unfamiliar with a lot of their work, however, if I'm to vote on looks, I'll go with Elle every time..no Rose, no Sarah, no... oh never mind... (by the way, very nice hub!!!)
