Frances Abbott made her bikini and sports modelling debut in Melbourne late last month.
And though she came away with only a participation medal for bikini modelling – the 26-year-old daughter of former Prime Minister Tony Abbott took away fifth place for her performance in the sports division.
Her result qualified her for the Australian national competition, and Ms Abbott’s social media feed has shown she has been training hard in preparation.
With the competition just days away, Ms Abbott’s dedicated efforts were on full display as she strolled through Melbourne for coffee with friends.

The personal trainer was dressed in a grey singlet top, tied up to reveal her taut stomach, and black leggings.
She stopped into a local cafe before hitting the streets with two girlfriends, handing flyers into local shops.
Afterwards, the three women stopped to celebrate their efforts over coffee.
Ms Abbott has been very vocal about her support for same sex marriage, going against her father’s very public stance against it.
As the postal plebiscite finally enters its last stretch, the eldest daughter of the Liberal Party back bencher has become more vocal, spreading her message through interviews and social media posts.

Ms Abbott needs to show a ‘fit, toned and athletic’ physique when she steps on stage on Saturday
She made headlines when she shared an image of herself dressed in a ‘vote yes’ shirt to Instagram.
She said in a video for the Equality Campaign that she would love to see her aunt, Christine Forster, who is a Liberal Party Councillor in Sydney, be able to wed her female partner Virginia Edwards.
Cr Forster told The Daily Telegraph earlier this month she did not know her niece would be speaking about her relationship, but was flattered at the gesture.
‘It was a very brave thing for her to do, she’s showing she’s a young woman with strong convictions who is prepared to stand up for those convictions,’ she said.
Despite her popularity and strong, public stance on what has become a deeply politicised issue, the Melbourne resident says she is not interested in politics.
To succeed in the sports model division, the ICN website says Ms Abbott should have a ‘fit, athletic and toned look’.
She will be judged on her physique while dressed in sportswear, which is often provided by the competition organisers.
