The death sent shockwaves through the Alice Springs community and around Australia.
The community has since wrapped its arms around the family of the five-year-old.
The Alice Springs community gathered at Anzac Oval for a sunset vigil.
Vigils were also being held in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, Darwin, Adelaide, Brisbane and Hobart, as well as in smaller communities.
Vigil attendees were asked to wear pink, which was the five-year-old's favourite colour.
Piles of flowers, cards, toys and candles have grown in tribute to the little girl.
Alice Springs Mayor Asta Hill said the gatherings would provide a space for everyone to "channel their grief and show their support to the family".
