The Afghan Section

Afghan Section of Marree Cemetery

Like the population of Marree, the cemetery is partitioned into identifiable sections. This part of the cemetery was dedicated to those of Afghan descent.

It’s quite a special place (albeit next to the livestock sale-yards). The sun setting above a vast expanse of nothing, the fence between the cemetery and the beyond, and the Afghan graves, all added to the special atmosphere of the moment.

[Use Google Maps to zoom in and out of Marree to get an idea of its location within Australia].
