The story behind Tuggeranong's special star

A huge, man-made star appeared to hang suspended above Urambi Hills, twinkling in the night sky on Saturday.

It was a very special tribute, and a real labour of love, by well-known Canberra woman Suzanne Tunks for her daughter Stella, who passed away on September 5, 2011, aged just nine months, as the result of congenital heart disease.

In 2012, Suzanne launched the Stella Bella Little Stars Foundation in honour of her daughter. The foundation aims to brighten the lives of children with serious and long-term illnesses and provide support and financial assistance to their families.
