Four children were killed and several more badly injured in Australia after strong winds lifted an inflated jumping castle into the air during end-of-year school celebrations, causing them to fall 10 metres, authorities said on Thursday, prompting an outpouring of grief.
Devonport Mayor Annette Rockcliff has described the terrible ripple effect the Hillcrest Primary School jumping castle tragedy will have. Everyone knows somebody, she told Sunrise.
The commemorative towel was produced to mark the end of the Hillcrest Primary School year which was being celebrated when the tragedy unfolded - but has become a gut-wrenching reminder of it.
