A Special Place for Jimmy James

A short amble from the visitor centre, this living riverbank memorial honours a Pitjantjatjara Aboriginal tracker who could 'read the bush like a newspaper'. He worked with SA police on many tracking endeavours, famously finding a lost little girl in the Adelaide Hills in 1966. Whimsical tracks and traces are scattered around granite boulders.
