Marree, Administrative division near Lake Eyre, South Australia

Located at the junction of the Oodnadatta and Birdsville Tracks, Marree functions as a service center for surrounding sheep and cattle stations.

Established in 1883 as Hergott Springs, Marree developed into a railway town that connected Adelaide to Alice Springs through the Central Australia Railway.

The Afghan cameleers built the first Australian mosque in Marree, reflecting the early presence of Islamic settlers in this remote region.

The Marree Hotel and Roadhouse provide accommodation, meals, and essential information for travelers exploring the Birdsville and Oodnadatta tracks.

Near Marree lies a large earth drawing called the Marree Man, discovered in 1998, measuring several kilometers across the desert landscape.
