Replica of Australia's first mosque. The original mud-brick Marree Mosque was built in 1861 by the Australian Afghan community who worked as camel drivers and breeders in the region.
The mosque was constructed by camel breeder Abdul Kadir, owner of Wangamanna Station. The descendants of the Afghans in Marree have rebuilt the mosque in 2003 and it is still being used as a mosque by the tiny Afghan community that lives here.
