Question
In this geographic region, a country’s first mosque at Marree was founded by Punjabi and Afghan cameleers in the 1860s. Alfred Traeger developed a pedal-powered radio to aid communication across this region’s pastoral lands called its namesake “stations.” This region’s modern-day cattle barons have adopted historical fire stick farming. An overland telegraph line through this region was scouted by Robert Burke and William Wills but was eventually built through Alice Springs. A part of this region called the Wheatbelt outside Perth was the site of the Emu War. For 10 points, Henry Ayers once named the sandstone monument of Uluru in what remote inner region of Australia? ■END■
