Charles Sturt University (CSU) student Alicia Fuller has been named the western region's Miss Indigenous at a ceremony in Dubbo on Friday 17 February. Organiser Michelle Davison told the Dubbo Daily Liberal newspaper that Miss Fuller's "great personality and confidence" made her stand out among the 23 competitors. Miss Fuller said it was “a blast” meeting young women from Narromine, Gilgandra, Mudgee, Trangie, and Cobar. “Young Aboriginal girls aren’t that confident in themselves and it was trying to get them to come forward and speak out and let their beauty shine”. Next up is the State Finals in Sydney, but meanwhile Miss Fuller has started her second year of primary education at Charles Sturt University's Dubbo Campus. “I definitely would like to be a role model for young Indigenous girls out there,” said the CSU student.
