Tania Verstak (born 20 November 1940) is an Australian model and beauty queen who won Miss International 1962.
[1][2] Even before going on to compete in Miss International, Verstak's victory in the national pageant was already seen as a small but significant shift in the traditional articulation of the Australian feminine ideal, attributed to the infusion of European values to the Anglo-Australian fabric, at a time when beauty pageants were the craze in Australia.
[3] Verstak went on to win the Miss International title in Long Beach, California.
Verstak's first relationship was with former Channel 7 rugby league commentator, 'sideline eye' Barry Ross.
After an acrimonious split, Verstak later married a Perth businessman, Peter Young.
