Distinguished and Famous people from Gold Coast Hinterland
🧭 Bernard O’Reilly
Bernard O’Reilly’s knowledge of the Lamington district became crucial after a Stinson airliner crashed in the McPherson Range in 1937. Searching the forest, he located the wreck and two surviving passengers, enabling a rescue in difficult country. His later book Green Mountains recounted the search and became a popular account of the event. The connection with the Gold Coast hinterland is direct: this was the landscape he knew and searched. Remembering that practical knowledge helps explain a rescue that has become one of the district’s best-known stories.
