LAMINGTON NATIONAL PARK
The plateau within this park and those small sponge cakes coated with chocolate and coconut were both named after Lord Lamington, Governor of Queensland at the turn of the century. Fame came to the plateau when Bernard O’Reilly located the wreck of the missing Stinson aircraft deep in the forest in 1937 and rescued two survivors. That story is told in O'Reilly's popular book, Green Mountains. So is the tale of the ghostly Green Mountain Light.
O’Reilly writes that he and his family always dreaded travelling through spot in the park called Stockyard Gorge. It was a forbidding place, he said, the haunt of death adders but, more than that, filled with an ‘evil’ atmosphere. The menace took visual form one rainy February night when O’Reilly’s sister Rose and a city boy were leading a string of packhorses up the steep path through the gorge. It was the youth who first saw it: ‘What's that light?’ he yelled. Rose turned and looked down the track. Thirty metres, behind them a bright orange light was gliding around a bend and coming directly towards them. The horses took fright and the youth screamed in terror.
Now, Rose O’Reilly was made of sterner stuff (every bit as good as any man in the bush, according to her brother). She had seen fire balls, fireflies and many strange things in her time but none that resembled this eerie light. She stood her ground- and the light vanished. It took Rose half an hour to calm the horses (and the youth) before they could resume their journey and many times after, in daylight or dark, the family’s horses panicked and refused to pass the spot where the light had appeared.
