Description

This is a free point of interest. No camping or overnight parking allowed. The headstone commemorates John Donohue, supposedly a policeman who was shot by a bushranger named King. The original grave was near the railway, and the current site is as recent as 1970 but the headstone has been strategically placed at the head of the path to King's Cave, a large overhang which is an ideal shelter.
