Last night at Cocktails and Dreams in Surfers Paradise, the outstanding winner of the 2009 Best Model Australia National Finals was Samantha Lee, a leggy 181 cm 22-year-old personal trainer and part time model from Fremantle, WA.

Samantha takes home over $10,000 in cash and prizes including a trip to represent Australia in the world final of Best Model of the World this December in Sofia, Bulgaria. She also won the Miss Photogenic award which was voted on by 4 professional photographers last Monday at Mantra Sun City.

Aside from her interest in fitness and nutrition, she enjoys fashion, makeup artistry and fast cars. This leggy blonde is no stranger to modeling contests having already taken out several titles including 2006 RALPH Australian Swimwear Model of the Year.  She plans to take her modeling to international level and would love to model for Victoria’s Secret.
