June Dally-Watkins

[1][5] In 2014 she featured on the popular Australian television show Bogan Hunters on the 7mate channel, where she provided information relating to etiquette to series winners.

Her father, whom she did not meet until later in life, was a businessman named Bob Monkton,[7] who had met Skewes while on a rabbit-hunting expedition in Watsons Creek.

[9] In 1944 Tamworth-based photographer Jan Solomons performed a photoshoot with Dally-Watkins, after which he suggested to her mother that her appearance could lead her to a career in modelling.

[9] Acting on this advice, the pair moved back to Sydney, where Dally-Watkins was appointed to a modelling job at Farmers & Co Department Store,[10] (acquired by Myer in 1961).

[11] In later life, Dally-Watkins expanded her etiquette coaching to China, establishing a programme called Look of Success in collaboration with a Chinese partner.
