Miss Nardi was crowned with the title during Friday evening’s night of nights at the Mia Club.
With 25 other debutantes and their partners taking part, it was always going to be a tough gig for the judges to decide who should be given the 2018 honour.
However, after plenty of deliberation, it was Miss Nardi, partnered by Sam Hopper, who was eventually chosen on the night.
The ball is held each year in Leeton and is attended by debutantes who previously made their debut in either the Catholic or Scottish balls earlier in 2018.
Surrounded by white ostrich feathers and tall pink vases, the debutantes donned their beautiful white gowns again for the occasion.
This year there were formally presented to Rotary 9700 district governor John Glasford and his wife Sue.
Following the announcement of Miss Nardi as the belle, she was congratulated and sashed by 2017 winner Taylah Ronfeldt.

With a big crowd of around 300 people in attendance, Miss Nardi was applauded and the evening continued with a flurry of dance moves and many laughs.
Member for Murray Austin Evans and mayor Paul Maytom was also in attendance on the night.
Georgie Dunn was this year’s flower girl, while Thomas Johnstone took on the role of the page boy, proudly shaking the hands of the male members of the official party.
The event is Rotary’s biggest fundraiser of the year.
