Menindee

We took a day trip out to Menindee to see the place where the Bourke and Wills expedition set up camp for a while. 


We had a lovely lunch at the pub, and also saw the grave of Dost Mahomet who was one of the cameleers who came out from India to look after the 26 camels for the Burke and Wills Expedition.

His grave is facing east at a spot just outside Menindee where he used to come and pray.
