Proton Congratulates Miss Universe Australia 2011 Winner Scherri-Lee Biggs

SYDNEY – Aug 4, 2011: Proton Cars Australia is a major sponsor of the Miss Universe Australia Pageant 2011; now our third year as a sponsor and on behalf of all the staff at Proton we would like to congratulate Scherri-Lee Biggs on winning the 2011 Crown.

The Western Australia beauty Scherri-Lee Biggs was a clear crowd favourite at the Miss Universe Australia final and the masses got it right.

Scherri-Lee was born in a little holiday town in Durban South Africa called Balitto Bay.

She grew up on a small farm with 5 dogs, 6 cats, a horse, 2 peacocks, 52 ducks and a gaggle of geese and moved to Australia when she was 8 years old to Watermans Bay Perth.

In Perth Scherri-Lee was involved in dance & drama and danced as a ballerina for a youth company until she was 15. She also carries a passion for cooking up a storm and painting.

Since she was crowned at the National Final on Thursday 7th July 2011, Scherri-Lee has a lot on her plate with her preparation for the international final and focusing the Miss Universe Australia’s continuous charity support and also on her new ambassadorship roles especially with Proton Cars which, included in her prizes, was a new Proton Car!

I am so excited to be receiving my new Proton Car as I don’t have a car at the moment and now I can zip around from events to photo shoots looking stylish in my new Proton!

There is a lot lying in the future for this 20 year old, who is midway through a communications degree majoring in Public Relations and Journalism, and is soon headed for Sao Paulo Brazil to represent Australia on September 12th at Donald Trump’s international Miss Universe final.

Australia will definitely be watching her throughout this new journey.
