Family and friends have paid tribute to disability advocate Ellen Fraser-Barbour, who died in April at a Northern Territory swimming hole.
First responders unveiled an automated external defibrillator and plaque at Ellery Creek Big Hole, 80 kilometres west of Alice Springs, in Dr Fraser-Barbour's honour.
A small but intimate ceremony was held at Ellery Creek Big Hole only five months after the death of disability advocate Ellen Fraser-Barbour, who drowned while swimming in April this year.
Ms Fraser took the opportunity to thank the first responders and St John Ambulance service for providing the defibrillator.
William Sears, duty manager at Alice Springs Ambulance Station, was involved in Dr Fraser-Barbour's care.
Mr Sears said Dr Fraser-Barbour's family was supportive of the gesture to commemorate the work she had done in the disability sector.
Abbey Studley, regional manager for St John Ambulance Northern Territory, said it was an honour to be included at the commemoration.
At the time of her death, the 35-year-old was championed as a disability advocate who loved travelling and hiking.
Dr Fraser-Barbour's sister Harriet shared the impact on her family and the community in a statement to the ABC.
