The white cross at Mt York in the Blue Mountains was placed there in memory of the death of the son of a significant Sydney businessman, Henry Marcus Clark.
Clark had several children who were quite experienced at exploring and traversing the rocky ledges and mountainsides of the Blue Mountains, but one day his 6 year old son Byron followed his elder siblings in their adventures. Needless to say, he fell when a rock ledge collapsed beneath his feet. He died whilst being carried back to the top of the mountain.
