Confusion between four mosques

To clarify the identities of the Marree mosques: there were three historical ones, all dating from the 1880s. One was right in or very close to the township, and another was at Herrgott Springs, about three kilometres north of the town. Nothing can be identified at the sites of either of these today. The site at the spring has been obliterated by trampling cattle. The third, probably the one shown in the historic photograph in the article, was a private mosque built by Abdul Kadir, near his camel yards about a kilometre north-east of the township. An earth floor and the stumps of wooden posts show where it stood. The fourth mosque standing right in the middle of the township was built as a tourist attraction in the 1990s.
