South of town lies the grave of Dan "Mad Dog" Morgan, a notorious bushranger. It contains most of Morgan’s remains – after he was fatally shot at nearby Peechelba Station in April 1865, his head was taken to Melbourne for a study of the criminal mind (and his scrotum was supposedly fashioned into a tobacco pouch).
