In February 1937 Australia was shocked to hear that a Stinson airliner was reported missing on its daily flight from Brisbane to Sydney. The story of Bernard O’Reilly’s search and rescue of two survivors of the crash has become a part of Australian folklore.
While the crash site is in a remote corner of the Lamington wilderness area, a bronze sculpture commemorating the rescue was erected at O’Reilly’s for the 60th anniversary of the crash.
This memorial commemorating Bernard O'Reilly's amazing feat is open to the public free of charge every day.
