Descripción del sitio
Dost Mahomet, Burke and Wills' Afghan camel driver, chose to settle in Menindee. He'd lost an arm following a run-in with a camel, but found work in the bakery of William Ah Chung, which is today an art gallery on Menindee Street. In the aftermath of the expedition, when accounts were being settled back in Melbourne, Mahomet's formal request to be paid at the full rate of his European colleagues – £10 a month – was rejected. Mahomet died some years later; his grave is just outside town.
