Tweed Head residents gather to commemorate disaster

A series of commemorative events are underway across the north coast of New South Wales today to mark one year since the devastating natural disaster hit the region. On the banks of the Tweed River community cast flowers into the water. The ceremony is an effort and a sign of the people of the region making peace with a river that took so much. Later today a private thank you will be held for the hundreds of tinny army volunteers who turned out to help during the height of the disaster.
