Forbes Show is celebrating 150 years in 2026, and last year our very own Libby Coles progressed all the way to the State Final. What an accomplishment!

A big thank you to Neil Lambert for making the trip down to Sydney for the event. And thank you also to Libby’s parents, who were a wonderful support team throughout the week. I have a feeling Janeen may even have a story or two to share about the Western Exhibit she was involved in!

Libby Coles has had an incredible experience as the 2026 Forbes Young Woman and Zone 6 representative. From the moment the competition began through to the announcement of the winners — from Sunday 29 March to Sunday 5 April — Libby was kept wonderfully busy. She represented Forbes with pride, grace and enthusiasm, and we couldn’t be prouder of the way she carried herself. Every photo captured her with that beautiful big smile we all know so well!
