Summary

Monument and marked tree at J. Poole's grave, near Milparinka. James Poole was an Irish surveyor who was the only member of Sturt's Central Australia Expedition of 1844-1845 to not survive. He was leading a contingent of the expedition back to Adelaide. This party returned to the main camp at Depot Glen and Poole's body was buried under a grevillea or bloodwood tree which was then blazed with his initials and date of death. On the memorial Poole's Christian name has mistakenly been recorded as John - this was later corrected - see B 7132.
