Marree Mosque

Replica mosque recalling the Afghan cameleers who worked the South Australian inland.

Marree Mosque recalls the Afghan and South Asian cameleers who carried freight through the inland before trucks and modern rail replaced camel teams. The original mosque is gone, but the replica in town points to a history often missed in standard outback stories.

Come for the context rather than architecture. The mosque makes Marree feel less like an anonymous road junction and more like a meeting place of Aboriginal, Afghan, South Asian, and European histories.
