Tahlia Edmonds is an 18-year-old gymnast, dancer, landscaper and inspiring advocate hailing from Country Victoria. Raised on a farm, Tahlia cherishes the simplicity and hard work of rural life. She wakes up early each day to milk goats and work on her farm, embodying the spirit of a true country girl.
From a young age, Tahlia was drawn to the joy of movement and expression, dreaming of becoming a ballerina or a gymnast. Despite the hardships she faced in the aftermath of the Black Saturday Bushfires in 2009, which took everything from her family except the clothes they were wearing, her passion for dance and gymnastics never wavered.
The trauma of the disaster, the deadliest bushfire in her neighborhood, left a lasting impact on Tahlia and her family. The Edmonds' family home was reduced to ashes, their community devastated and the process of rebuilding their lives continues to this day. Yet Tahlia has always strived to keep her spirits high, using her experiences to empathise with others who have been through similar ordeals.
Despite the financial constraints brought about by the fires, Tahlia kept her dream alive, seizing every opportunity to practice her handstands and dance movements. Her dedication paid off when, at 13, she was gifted a term of rhythmic gymnastics for her birthday. This sparked a journey that led her to state competitions and further exploration of acrobatics and ballet.
Today, Tahlia balances her time between working as a landscaper and gymnastics coach, assisting in outdoor education, and contributing to her family's business. She aspires to use her platform, such as her participation in Miss Grand Australia, to advocate for individuals who have experienced the trauma of natural disasters. Driven by her past, Tahlia seeks to change the future for others, giving a voice to the broken and extending a helping hand to those who are suffering.
