With the devastating Lismore floods still imprinted on the NSW regional city, its 45,000 residents will pause for the Gathering of Reflection and Healing.

Five lives were lost and more than 3000 homes were damaged or destroyed in the Northern Rivers city on February 28 last year, when a month of record rain raised the Wilsons River to a record high of 14.4 metres.
