The six children who died in a jumping castle tragedy in Tasmania have been remembered as precious and cherished, with the state's premier pledging to always walk alongside their families.
"The loss of such cherished ... children sent shockwaves through the Devonport community, Tasmania and indeed our entire nation.""We continue to keep the children, their families and their loved ones in our hearts and in our minds," Mr Rockliff said."We acknowledge though, that no matter how hard we try, no matter how hard we will continue to try, we will never be able to truly walk in the shoes of those who have lost so much.
"They were so young, yet they had already brought so much joy to this world and into the lives of those who loved them." People placed flowers and messages of support near a metal heart structure, inspired by the image of a broken heart shared widely on social media after the tragedy.Planning for a permanent memorial such as a garden or sculpture will be pursued next year.
A coronial inquest, which has yet to set a date for public hearings, will investigate the circumstances of the day. An administrative inquest hearing was told a powerful "mini tornado" might have lifted the castle into the air.Published 15 December 2022 at 8:50pm
