Charles Macrae, bench - Dorrigo, NSW, Australia - Dedicated Benches on Waymarking.com

The rugged wooden bench is bolted to the pavers outside the Visitor Information Centre of Dorrigo. The single broad backrest slab, as the three similarly broad slabs that are butted together for the seat, but it is poor condition, and fair bit of the backrest covering has peeled off. The Dedication plaque is quite large, and occupies the full width of the backrest slat. [I'm not sure if the plaque was only glued in place, but it was NOT inset.] The plaque reads:
