This memorial Gordon is located near the site he performed the daring riding feat know a Gordon's Leap in July 1864. Where he jumped his horse onto a narrow ledge above the Blue Lake and then turned his horse and repeated the jump back onto the roadway.

Gordon was the first to capture Australia and her people in the words of poetry, paving the way for Banjo Paterson, Henry Lawson and William Ogilvie to create poetry that was uniquely Australian.
