1919 Captain Henry Wrigley and Sergeant Arthur William Murphy departed from Bourke, NSW at about 8:00am and flew to Barringun, just south of the Queensland border on Saturday 23 November 1919 on the sixth leg of an aerial survey of a suitable route from Melbourne to Darwin. Flying in the single-engined Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2e B6183, their northerly route of approximately 150km took them over Grass Hut Tank, Native Dog artesian bore, then along the Warrego River over Enngonia and Belalie. At Barringun they landed on the cricket ground and presented two locals with letters they were carrying. A newspaper report indicated that after lunch they flew back to Belalie for the day. It appears they then continued northwards following the Warrego River over Tinnenburra and Tuen to land at Cunnamulla.
