Afghan Cemeteries
Great Northern Hwy
Graves from around the 1890's of Afghan camel drivers who were the backbone of transport between cattle stations and towns in the days before road trains. Many tombstones, aligned to face Mecca, are quite large as the camel masters would have their lead animal buried with them for their final trek into the afterlife.

Boab Tree Gaol
Drive 6 km out of town to King River Rd, then 23km to the tree
This large hollow Boab, estimated to be 2000-4000 years old, was once used as an overnight accommodation for prisoners being transported to Wyndham. Its 14m circumference would have been pretty crowded even by backpacker standards.
