Hundreds of people united to scour a 1500 hectare property for the missing child on March 8, only for her to be found in the dam, only 70m from her home.
Police were notified of her disappearance about 3.30pm on March 8, where it was revealed she was playing with her dogs besides the residence before she went missing.
Friends and family immediately began searching, and were joined concerned community members, Origin Gas workers, SES volunteers, and other emergency volunteer organisations.
PolAir, police dogs an ADF helicopter joined the search later that evening, with the dive squad attending from Brisbane to search the dam near the house.
Her body was found in the water about 1am on March 9.

"Fly high my precious baby girl … I love you so much," she said.
"You didn't deserve to go the way you did, you were taken too soon.
"Mummy and daddy loves you so, so much baby girl."
Ruby's aunty Alisha Manning posted a heartfelt tribute to her niece, and said that words "couldn't describe" the hole Ruby left behind in her heart.
"I love you so much and I'll miss you like crazy," she said.
"I'll look after your mum and dad and sister (the) best I can.
"Fly high baby girl until we meet again, aunty Alisha."
