Meet the Bachelorette's vying for Richie Strahan's heart in The Bachelor

After months of frenzied media speculation, Ten has announced the identities of the 22 Bachelorettes who are ready to find love in the highly-anticipated new season of The Bachelor Australia.

Ranging in age from 23 to 34, and hailing from all over the country, this year’s Bachelorettes are a diverse group of characters with one thing in common: their passion to find “the one”.

Bachelor Richie Strahan will open the doors of the Bachelor mansion to welcome this select group of ladies on their romance journey of a lifetime. Through a series of cocktail parties and breathtakingly memorable dates, they will discover who has the chemistry, intelligence, sense of adventure and charm to be Richie’s perfect woman.

Victoria has delivered six ladies in business development manager Aimee, venue manager Alex, artist Georgia, project manager Laura, executive assistant Sasha and personal trainer Tolyna.

Event coordinator Eliza, account manager Keira, personal assistant Kiki, yoga instructor Marja, former professional athlete Mia and make-up artist Olena are the six Bachelorettes from NSW.

Four beauties hail from Queensland: hairdresser Faith, children’s entertainer Janey, swimwear designer Noni and massage therapist Vintaea.

Customer support manager Sophie is South Australia’s Bachelorette. There are five Bachelorettes representing Strahan’s home state of Western Australia: health promotions officer Megan, communications officer Natalie, support worker Rachael, training administrator Tiffany and real estate agent Nikki.

The Bachelor Australia promises a season filled with romance, roses, tears and plenty of drama, as Australia follows one man’s journey to find true love.
