It was a day for a shattered community to heal just that little bit more, as hundreds came together to help support Allison Baden-Clay's three daughters.
Mrs Baden-Clay was murdered by her husband, Gerard Baden-Clay, on April 19, 2012.
It was a crime that sent shockwaves through the tight-knit Brookfield community.
On Saturday, that community united to help her three daughters, aged 13, 10 and seven, at the Allison Baden-Clay Children's Appeal family fun day and annual cricket match.
Organiser and family friend Roni Johnson said the day had been a constant "sea of yellow" – Mrs Baden-Clay's favourite colour.
"It's was just beautiful, a beautiful day," she said.
Ms Johnson said the three girls, who were at the event, enjoyed the day's festivities.
"They got to run around, jump on jumping castles and just be normal children," she said.
"The girls are growing up in a very loving environment and whatever degree they understand what's going on around them, they see the support of everybody.
"They had a lovely time making lolly bags and just being a part of the day."
The fundraising tally was yet to be finalised, Ms Johnson said, and would not likely be known until Sunday at the earliest.
"If we raised $20,000, I'd be happy," she said.
One of the main attractions was a cricket match between a combined Police, Fire and Emergency and State Emergency Services team and the Brookfield United Cricket Club.
BUCC president Mark Fletcher, whose side lost by a single run in the 24-over-a-side match, said it was a "controversial" 146-145 win to the combined services team.
"It went down to the wire – Brookfield was sent in to bat and we suspected the pitch had been watered before, so it was a bit doctored," Mr Fletcher said as he enjoyed a post-match beer.
"In the last ball of the innings, the police needed two runs and was no-balled and then they won by a run.
"It was a controversial decision."
But there were no sour grapes from Mr Fletcher, who praised a "very successful day" for the Baden-Clay children.
Inspector Mark Laing, the officer in charge of search coordination during Mrs Baden-Clay's disappearance, said it was an opportunity for police to help support her children.
He said the cricket match gave police and other emergency services a chance to thank the Brookfield community for their efforts during the search and subsequent murder investigation.
"Police are proud to be involved in the fundraising event," Inspector Laing said.
"…Police would like to thank the community for their involvement and their incredible generosity,"
Gerard Baden-Clay is serving a life sentence for his wife's murder after being found guilty earlier this year.
The Baden-Clays' three daughters are now in the care of Allison's parents, Geoff and Priscilla Dickie.
