Mulga at Afghan’s Grave, Burke and Wills’ Expedition.—Mr. C. J. McMaster, who took the 
photograph, kindly furnishes the following particulars :— 
“ The Mulga tree in the middle distance is characteristic of the Mulgas in the Scrope’s and Barrier 
Ranges. 
“ The stones in the foreground indicate the position of what is known as ‘ The Afghan’s Grave,’ 
and is locally said to be the burial-place of one of the camel-drivers attached to the Burke and Wills’ 
Exploration Expedition. The grave is situated a short distance from the bank of Bilpa Creek in Scrope’s 
Range, N.S.W., where Burke camped on the 21st of October, 1860. 
“I have been unable to discover a reference to thr death of any of the party at this place in the 
published accounts of that ill fated expedition.”
