Jim Westray’s Grave marks the resting place of a victim of the 1937 Stinson plane crash, one of Australia’s most well-known aviation survival stories. After surviving the crash, Westray left the wreckage to seek help but later died near Christmas Creek, where local bushman Bernard O’Reilly found him. He was buried close to where he died, in this peaceful palm grove beside the creek, adding a quiet historical point of interest along the track.
