And for her, distance is no barrier. She has been to balls in as diverse regions as the Great Ocean Road, Victoria and Newcastle, NSW.

The balls have generated a strong network of friends from throughout Australia.

So now Ash has teamed up with her mum Kelly Forrest to bring a B&S ball to The Rock.

The Rock Showgrounds will be the venue and it arguably has one of the best backdrops in Australia.

Mrs Forrest said her daughter had wanted to bring a B&S ball to The Rock for quite some time.

However, joining The Rock Progress Association and working with other members of the community including The Rock Yerong Creek Football and Netball Club has allowed the idea to get off the ground. 

“We are hoping this will become an annual event,” Mrs Forrest said. 

Mrs Forrest said they were expecting about 1000 people to attend and it was hoped money could be raised for much-needed community projects.

Artist Christie Lamb has been booked to perform along with other live music until midnight.

The black-tie event will run on November 25.
