Alexander Joseph McRae (1844–1888) was an Australian explorer, pastoralist and businessman. McRae was notable as an early settler in north-west Western Australia. In 1882 McRae found gold between Cossack and Roebourne, with one nugget weighing upwards of 9 dwt (14g).[1]
The McRae River is named after him.
