A Girl who doesn't shy away from a challenge

Jessica Watson History Marker at 16 

Jessica was the 2011 Young Australian of The Year and received an Order of Australia Medal in 2012. Despite much criticism in 2010 she set her sights on sailing solo around the world, inspired by her hero Kay Cottie, the first women to sail solo around the world. However, everyone welcomed her home and her boat Pink Lady on May 15, 2010.  Jessica's Motto is 
"Always make the most of everything. Be positive, and ask questions, lots of questions."

   For now Jessica has hung up her life-jacket and putting on her dancing shoes, for the next Australia Series of Dancing with the Stars.
She is also a young ambassador for the World Food Program  .  Jessica insisted on a hands on approach to her support of WFP and recently visited Laos to find out first hand the work they are doing.
