1972 turned out to be Australia's greatest year as Kerry Ann Well's victory was duplicated by her compatriot who won Miss World 1972. Belinda Roma Green bested 53 participants. Green is the second Australian to win Miss World. As a result, points gathered from Miss World and Miss Universe made Australia as Country Of The Year based on Global Beauties Grandslam Ranking.

After many years of waiting to have Australia's second Miss Universe, a former cheerleader for the Newcastle Knights rugby league team and the Hunter Pirates basketball team and a model, captured the Miss Universe crown in 2004 finally. Jennifer Hawkins bested more than 80 beautiful candidates. Earlier prior to the pageant's finals, Hawkins was never expected to make it to the final 5 by pageant fans, but she proved them wrong right during the final competition with her great performances in evening gown and swimsuit competitions as well as in the final interview. She accidentally stripped her skirt off in a fashion show during her reign.
