One of the boulders was removed from the reserve in 1952 and taken to [[Alice Springs]] to form a memorial to [[John Flynn (minister)|John Flynn]], the founder of the [[Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia|Royal Flying Doctor Service]]. The boulder was chosen as a symbol of his link to the [[outback]], but it became the source of a lengthy controversy. The boulder had unwittingly been removed from a sacred site of the Aboriginal women of the area. Eventually, after more than 45 years of negotiations, a boulder swap was arranged and the sacred boulder was removed from the grave and returned to its original place on 4 September 1999. The grave is now marked with a similar but non-sacred boulder donated by the [[Aranda people|Arrernte]] people.<ref>{{cite web |title=John Flynn Memorial |url=http://www.southaustralianhistory.com.au/johnflynnm.htm |publisher=Flinders Ranges Research |access-date=31 January 2020}}</ref>
