Book excerpt: "The details of the shooting of two Afghans by R.B. Knowles in 1894 near Balladonia, for defiling a waterhole, are brought together for the first time. The incident is now part of Australian folklore." "On the 13 August 1894, a large contingent of camels belonging to Gunny Khan & Co arrived at Windanyer, now known as Afghan Rocks, near Israelite Bay in Western Australia. The caravan of 108 camels and 17 Afghans, led by Patrick Green, a well-known camel authority in NSW and SA, had left Bourke, NSW on the 26 June. There was a conflict over the way the water was being used by the Afghans, leaving one of them dead and the other injured. This booklet is an attempt to give all the recorded information on the 'Incident at Afghan Rocks', as it is now known, to both give a picture of the times, and to enable the reader to acquire knowledge without the PC baggage that inevitably accompanies any paraphrasing of stories of 'multicultural' incidents." -- Description from publisher website.
