Narromine’s Australia Day ambassador Nikki Webster was mobbed by fans from the moment she arrived at the showground to celebrate Australia Day with the locals. And she obliged everyone who asked for an autograph or a picture with great grace and patience.

Nikki said she chose Narromine as her destination because she had never been here and she figured not too many celebrities get to visit a town this size. “Australia Day is a great day to celebrate, and just looking around you can see the spirit,” she said. “This is a great community with a great spirit and I just hope everyone has a great day.”

She gave a stirring speech acknowledging the hard work of volunteers and junior achievers in the town, adding she loved the experience of getting to know the people of Narromine. Nikki had the honour of presenting the Australia Day Awards, the most prestigious of which, Citizen of the Year, went to Norm Daniels for his work with the Narromine cub scouts.
