One of five pioneering O’Reilly brothers in Lamington National Park, Norb spent the years between 1912 to 1916 clearing the rainforest and establishing his home one the mountain, which comprised of his own slab hut and orchard. He joined the allied offensive in Europe during the First World War and was killed during the battle of Menin Road in Belgium on the 23rd of September 1917. Norb was 26 years old. His gravestone in Etaples Military Cemetery in France has a poem he wrote about missing Cainbable Creek that ran below his property at O’Reilly’s.
