The cairn commemorating the Kyeema aircraft disaster with the addition of a smaller plaque listing the names of those who perished in the accident. This additional plaque was suggested by relatives of the victims who had attended earlier commemorations of the accident at the site. Mt Dandenong & District Historical Society members observed a minute's silence and drank a toast of South Australian wine, produced by vineyards with which some of the victims were associated, in memory of all those who lost their lives. The plaque reads: KYEEMA VH-UYC CREW AND PASSENGERS CAPTAIN ALFRED WEBB JUNIOR CAPTAIN ALLAN STEEN AIR HOSTESS ALVA JONES CADET PILOT PHILIP PRING LEONARD ABRAHAMS K.C.
