In October 2001, the Shire of Appledore hosted the 18th annual Golden Swan Persona Development Challenge. For the first time since 1984, there were more than 2 candidates in a single year. This was also the first time we have had a dual entry, with two applicants entering as sisters.

The successful applicants were:
