Nearby lies Beautiful Betsy, an American B24 Liberator Bomber that crashed in stormy weather. On the 24th of February 1945 on a flight from Darwin to Brisbane she struck with the top of the mountain. Betsy laid here undisturbed for almost 50 years until discovered in 1994 by a park ranger.

Beautiful Betsy is perched atop the Kroombit Tops National Park, check the NPSR website for the details on getting there. The Banana Shire Council has all the details on this and other favourite campsites in the region, head to sandstonewonders.com or OQTA site for more information.
