Kings Marker
8km from town
Burke, Wills and King were helped by the Yantruwanta people who had survived
along the Cooper for many thousands of years. After Burke and Wills had died,
King was fed and cared for by the Yantruwanta until a search party led by
Alfred Howitt came upon him on 15th September, 1861. The marker
records the position where weakened and barely coherent King was found.
