Whilst we actually went through this little town on Friday on our way from Bedourie to Mt Isa - we didn't realize until today the history of the place which is a shame.
Today there is a basic very old & decrepit service station and post office, along we a few old houses (probably 2 streets) and a dusty park which offers free camping. Yesteryear Daharra was the largest trucking depot in the world. The area trucked more cattle than Texas in the USA. Drovers would bring cattle from as far away as Western Australia to put them on the train at Dajarra. Then came road trains and soon the town just became a memory. We should have stopped & looked around.
