Sometimes words are not enough - or indeed, words are not needed at all.
In the case of yesterday's front page, and our coverage of Friday night's vigil honouring the victims of the horrific events in Christchurch, words cannot adequately tell the story.
Instead, we should focus on this image. This moment between the Bendigo Islamic Association and the local Maori community - a moment those at the vigil will never forget.
A beautiful moment that brought many to tears. A moment that said we stand together; stronger, united and with hope. A moment that said we will hold each other through difficult times. A moment that said so much.
We should all pause and reflect on this image - and thank the Islamic community for bringing us together for a moment of light in such dark and deeply sad times.

It has been an emotional week for so many, and that's why this beautiful story from children at Taradale Primary School is worth reading. Their music is magic. Their message, more so.
And while we're thinking of children, the school holidays are not too far away. It's nice to have things to look forward to, so to thank our loyal subscribers we have another giveaway.
This week, to thank our subscribers for the value you place on our journalism, we have 5 family passes (2 adults/2 children) to Wonder Park - which tells the story of an amusement park where the imagination of a wildly creative girl comes alive. The move is in cinemas from April 4.

Have a great week, and take care of each other.
