We've visited a number of Burke and Wills historical sites at different times, so visited Dost Mahomet's grave just out of town. I've read more about him since returning home. It's a sad story. There's a bit more information, here.
It's around 800km from Cooper Creek to Menindee - and 750-ish kilometres from Menindee down to Melbourne. I'm not sure whether he was transported in some way to Melbourne, or if he had to walk.
