Philippa Hill - Southern Belle (Ballandean Community) Young Ambassador

The connection with the Ballandean community and the Apple & Grape Harvest Festival started back in the late 1950s when the Ballandean and Wyberba Local Produce Association sponsored a Queen of their own in the festival.

The Southern Belle Committee are proud to present the 2010 Young Ambassador, Philippa Hill.

Philippa and her family have been in the Ballandean area since 2004.  "My parents are proud of me taking this challenge on.  I have taken this on not only to challenge myself but I would like to give back to this community and be more involved" Philippa said.
