Publishers Description: Born in 1903 to a pioneering Irish-Catholic family, Bernard OReilly spent his first twelve years in the secluded Kanimbla Valley of the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. The family then moved to the wild and largely unexplored McPherson Ranges in southern Queensland. Here the innate OReilly pioneering spirit eventually succeeded in establishing a haven for guests in the midst of a rainforest paradise. Bernard OReilly died in 1975.Green Mountains recreates the events surrounding Bernard OReillys heroic search for and discovery of the survivors of the Stinson wreck. In the second part of the book, OReilly tells of the familys move to Queensland from the Blue Mountains of New South Wales and their work in establishing the Guest House at Green Mountains.Cullenbenbong covers the childhood of Bernard OReilly. Boyhood adventures, family joys and sadnesses are all told in his own inimitable style together with mountain legends heard around the firesides of the Blue Mountains pioneer
