Looking like a cut and polished geode (sometimes called 'Dinosaur Egg'), the angled headstone is on a large, highly polish black marble slab, surrounded by a chrome railing with decorative 'silver' knobs and newels.
There is a oval-framed photo of David on the headstone, and the inscription reads:

[After there was two more drowning deaths (a couple of years after David's drowning) in South Australia there was an Inquest, to examine whether there was adequate warning signs on the approaches to the beaches. Ex-ABC News: Drownings]
