The Stinson (27th)

On Saturday 27th February a young bushman acting on a his own reasoning with regards the missing Stinson, set out on the bush-walk of his life, with an “Expect me when you see me”

Bernard O'Reilly took a hessian sack to act as a coat and a jam tin billy, 2 loaves of bread a pound of butter, 6 onions (to be roasted in the camp-fire), and some tea & sugar in a sack. (His 4 year old daughter Rhelma had wanted to accompany him).

He set out from the 'Green Mountains' guesthouse to the Border Track and the lookout at Mount Bethongabel (12.6km from the Guesthouse), where he sent his horse to find his own way home and continued alone on foot.
