The Kyeema Airline Crash occurred on 25 October 1938 when the aircraft was en route from Adelaide to Essendon Airport. It hit heavy cloud after crossing the Great Dividing Range, leading the pilot to mistake Sunbury for Daylesford. The plane crashed into the western slopes at the top of Mt Dandenong. All 14 passengers and four crew on board died.
