Friday 26th February 1937 a reward is posted by Airlines of Australia, the owners of the Stinson, for any information that might lead to the discovery of the plane, and the fate of its crew and passengers.
Mrs. H. Proud, mother of Mr. John S. Proud, one of the Stinson's passengers, made an offer to the company of £500 for a continuation of the aerial search in the Broken Bay region, and particularly around Patonga. The company, however, decided not to take advantage of her offer, but decided to make another search of that area, at the company's own expense.

Living up at ‘Green Mountains’ guesthouse on the Lamington Plateau, Bernard O’Reilly only caught up with the national newspapers on Friday 26th, when he visited his brother Herb in the Kerry Valley at the foot of the mountains.
But he did listen to the locals who were sure they had heard the Stinson passing over as usual, headed towards the ‘Lost World’ up in the McPherson Range.
