In January 1861 Wrights supply party left for Cooper Creek but failed to meet up with Burke and Wills, He returned in July 1861. In 1862 Howitt used the camp as a base to launch his search for Burke and Wills. It was also the place where Mahomet was attacked and killed by a camel. His grave site is located on the main road just north of Menindie. Although the signage says Burke and wills came here, they never actually did. Their party passed some 5 miled to the west.
