Answer 2

There is also the yearly camel races in the dry river bed . Quite a big fun day to be had :)

Answer 3

It only started as a settlement because they needed a repeater station for the overland telegraph line and that was the halfway point between Adelaide and Darwin and there was under ground water there. Later on it was discovered there was gold about 100klm to the east and that attracted more people. Hope this helps
