SWELTERING temperatures didn’t deter the large crowd that headed to The Parade Hotel for the first heat of the Miss Summergirl bikini modelling competition.
There was a bit of double-vision going on, with two sets of twins participating and another set of twins on the judging panel.
Nine girls, some modelling for the first time, delighted the crowd with their charm and personalities while modelling some of the latest threads from fashion boutique Dushka, one of the sponsors of Miss Summergirl.
As the mercury pushed past 40 degrees the girls kept their cool by modelling swimwear of their own choice.
After a short break the girls returned for a second round of swimwear featuring some eye-catching numbers.
It was a tough decision for the judges but they concluded that five girls would go through to the final to be held on Sunday February 7.
Places are still available in the upcoming heats, so if you look good in a swimsuit and would like the chance to win some fantastic prizes, call Tamara on 0407 448 134 to register your interest.
Heat two of Miss Summergirl begins this Sunday 2pm at The Parade Hotel.
