    This is so good! The Sydney Morning Herald photographer was in that biplane on Wednesday 18 December 1935 - SMH 19/12/1935 p.14 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17231756 . The biplane belonged to Mr H. C. Durant. Somewhere nearby is the Motor Liner 'Malaita'. What a great photo of sail, steam, and air travel together

    very lively picture! _the aircraft is a Gipsy Moth, I'm fairly certain.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Dru I think you are right. There are several contemporary newspaper articles referring to Harold Durant's Moth.

    Archerfield Airport is a Leased Federal Airport located in Archerfield, 12 km (7.5 mi) to the south of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[3] For some time it was the primary airport in Brisbane. During World War II it was used as a Royal Australian Air Force station. Airport traffic peaked in the 1980s. In December 2010, a development plan was released for public comment which included a new parallel runway.[4] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archerfield_Airport

    Stinson Crash Site A plaque commemorates the Stinson Air Crash of 1937 and remembers the Stinson as a pathfinder of Australian aviation. On 19th February 1937 Australia was shocked to hear that a Stinson airliner was reported missing on a flight from Brisbane. Bernard O`Reilly of Lamington Plateau decided to search the area where the flight path of the Stinson crossed the McPherson Range. He left the Guesthouse and followed the rugged McPherson Range to the west. He climbed Mt Throakban and sighted a tree 8 kilometers away that appeared to have been burnt. Three hours later a coo-ee startled him and he came upon the crash site to find two men, John Proud and Joe Binstead, still alive after 10 days. Four people died in the crash, including the Flying Officer Beverley Shepherd who was the co-pilot, but he was told of another man Jim Westrey had survived and gone for help. Bernard left the two men at the wreck to seek assistance and as he walked down Christmas Creek he found Westrey`s body. He had died as a result of a fall over a waterfall. Bernard returned with a party including a doctor while local farmers cut 16 kilometers of tracks through the rainforest of Lamington Plateau to rescue the two survivors.
