The New South Wales North Coast community of Wardell has come together to host a flood healing event, marking one year since the natural disaster hit the small town.

Many residents lost homes or businesses as flood waters from the swollen Richmond River swept through Wardell, and other river communities such as Woodburn, on February 28 last year.
