Cairns flood victims celebrate Christmas a week after losing almost everything

ABC  

Christmas spirit has a whole new meaning to Cairns residents, who after a week of devastation, have started to smile again. "From day one after the flooding I was really amazed at how the community got together and helped each other and supported each other," she said. Dino Vanderent said he was "very grateful" for the event after his home at Holloways Beach was inundated. "Our house got completely flooded, waist deep out, so all of that part of our life is on the lawn," he said. "We've been in survival mode for a while, so It's good to relax a little bit, open up emotionally and receive all the love that people are giving out today," he said.
