In the foreground of Saint Mel's Catholic Church, the commemorative wall recognises the Poet-Priest John O'Brien of 'Around the Boree Log' fame. In his 27 years in Narrandera, Father Patrick Hartigan, Catholic Priest and writer, wrote some of this country's most loved bush poetry. "We'll all be rooned!" said Hanrahan "Before the year is out!", is a well known line from his poem "Said Hanrahan". More information about John O'Brien and his life in Narrandera is available from Narrandera Visitors Centre.
