What followed was an outpouring of national grief, especially for the families of those killed in the crash, the survivors and injured passengers, the newlyweds who will forever remember this moment on their wedding anniversary and the Singleton community where many of the victims were from.
As one year passes since this tragedy, Newcastle Herald is providing the community a space to leave a message, tribute, memory or words of hope. You can take the time to thank the first-responders, leave a message for the families who have spent the past year dealing with the grief of losing someone or even write about the resilience of the Hunter community during hardship.
See the messages below:
Messages are being published both online and some in print. Simply fill in the form below to be part of this project.
