The Afghans or Ghans were camel caravaners who worked in outback Australia from the 1860s to the 1930s. There is not much information available about them but they originated from the region between south of the Hindu Kush in Afghanistan and the Indus River in what is now the state of Pakistan. The Afghans played a major role in establishing Islam in Australia, building the country's first mosque at Marree in South Australia.
