Mystery shrine found

The Helensburgh and District Historical Society President, Jim Powell, has been contacted regarding a mysterious shrine in our bushland. The shrine is dedicated to Tom O’Flaherty and comprises stones and branches. It appears that fresh flowers were placed there recently. The Historical Society records – including the electoral rolls, cemetery records etc – do not have any reference to the name of Tom O’Flaherty. The society would be pleased to hear from anyone who might know anything about this shrine.
