    It's an incredible place, Ryan. :D Don't miss it when you come. Afghan camel drivers were brought in to help open up the country. Camels could thrive and go where no other pack animal could. The famous Adelaide to Darwin train is named The Ghan after them.

    And lets not forget the japanese pearlers and chinese cooks/gardeners on the pastoral stations who could grow anything anywhere so long as they had water. Edit:- Also remember how pastoral stations would only get their alcohol deliveries from the Afghans because they didn't drink alcohol, so the barrels arrived full of whiskey and not sea water as sometimes happened when "europeans" delivered them😂

    In fact in the "Wet season" our summer in southern hemisphere, the travel in much of the north is near impossible much of the time with floods, heavy 'monsoon' rain, thunder storms, and at best hot sticky humid conditions. At worst get hit by Cyclone (Hurricane for US) conditions. Really not time to be in those northern areas. June or ideally after June to visit that area of Australia. Also be prepared for long distances to travel.

    @@michaelrogers2080 But factor in that much of present day Pakistan has land that was Afghan. The people who live there have always been Afghan. In fact Pakistan is an acronym. The name Pakistan was coined by Choudhry Rahmat Ali, a Pakistan Movement activist, who in January 1933 first published it in a pamphlet Now or Never, using it as an acronym. Rahmat Ali explained: "It is composed of letters taken from the names of all our homelands, Indian and Asian, Panjab, Afghania, Kashmir, Sindh, and Baluchistan." He added that "Pakistan is both a Persian and Urdu word... It means the land of the Paks, the spiritually pure and clean." Etymologists note that پاک pāk, is 'pure' in Persian and Pashto and the Persian suffix ـستان -stan means 'land' or 'place of'. So Pakistan was made up in the 1930s and the "a" is for Afghan. Punjab Afghan Kashmir Indus Sindh and Baluchi*stan* So if the cameleers were from modern day Pakistan they would have been Afghan people. Also in the 1800s there was no such place as Pakistan. There were Afghan people and others living in what is now Afghanistan and Pakistan. So it would have been better for you to say that they came from present day Pakistan which was at the time British India. *But* British India was attacking the Afghans and taking their land. So like I pointed out before the cameleers were Afghan even if they came from British India.

I also think because Australia is large with a small population, we are used to long road trips & we jump on planes to far reaching states at the drop of a hat. It’s a bit like Europeans travelling within Europe but we’re doing it within Australia 😂✌🏼

    Australia is the only place where camels roam wild. Afghans (among others) brought them over during the 1800s to serve in various capacities (expeditions, desert travel etc). For example, camels were used to transport goods into the goldfields of Western Australia, especially water, which was worth more than gold until the pipeline opened.

We then took a sea plane over the Bungle Bungles and pretty close to the Argyle diamond mine (but not directly over it for security reasons). Passed some stunning waterfalls too. When the plane landed at Lake Argyle, we took the boat tour on Lake Argyle itself. Finished off with another bus back to camp. Great day out….. with our little girl who was around 18 months old. That was back in 2000. She slept on the small sea plane 😂😂😂

    Because of Australia's size and lack of water in the outback when they decided to connect the east coast and west coast by rail in the 1880s no cars then but only horses to transport equipment. .horses need water and no water in outback it was decided that camels was the only option. As we didn't have any camels they imported them from Afghanistan as well as the camel herders from Afghanistan. Hence why we have now camels and the hrrders are buried in that cemetery. When the rail line was finished they released all the camels and they had no natural enemies in the outback and they just thrived that is why Australia has more camels than any other country and hence why our camels are exported to the Middle East.

That is like saying that Mother Teresa came from present day Northern Macedonia. Actually Mother Teresa was born in what is now called Northern Macedonia. But her ethnicity was Albanian. If the cameleers weren't Afghans then what were they? Indian? They can't have been Pakistani because that wasn't invented yet (circa 1800s). By the way there were Afghans in parts of British India.

    Ryan, do a bit of research into the Flying Doctor Service. It fills a real need in the provision of medical services living in the outback regions. Basically, the Service started after a young stockman on a cattle station had a ruptured bladder in 1917. He was taken to the settlement at Halls Creek - the postmaster there had been trained in first aid. Using the telegraph system, the postmaster was guided through an operation by a surgeon in Perth. Because of technical limitations in the system, messages had to be relayed through a dozen or so stations each way. Relaying meant not simply pressing a button, but rather taking down the message then rekeying it in to go to the next station - not simply pressing a button. Somehow, it all worked and the operation was successful. The young man survived but later died from unrelated causes. Despite the infancy of flying, someone had the idea of flying either a doctor to a patient, or vice versa. Money was raised and the service established. These days it flourishes with public and government support. You can easily work out a clip to go 10 minutes or so, and I'm sure that the Service would give you loads of information.

    The first small group of Afghan cameleers (people who ride camels) arrived into Melbourne in June 1860, along with 24 camels. They were employed to assist the government in the opening up of the vast, arid interior of the continent. These Agfhan cameleers soon garnered a reputation as highly skilled, hard workers, and so thousands more were brought into the country over the next half century. As a result, we now have camels galore in Australia, and not a few folks of Afghani descent living in the country today. These days Australian camels are exported to the Middle East, where they are highly prized as "pure-bred".

She was afraid of flying, but when they got to the Bungle Bungles, she went on a scenic flight in one of those small planes. Apparently she accompanied her friend to the airport, with no intention of taking a flight herself ... until the pilot appeared.

    The rock looked like Richard Nixon. Afghan men and their camels opened up so much of Australia. They used to even carry mail. So they have historically been here almost as long as white men. The "Ghan" is a tourist train that crosses Australia north to south, between Adelaide and Darwin, and it was originally called the "Afghan Express", because it travelled the route the cameleers (yes, that is a person who works with camels) used to take. Obviously, "Ghan" came from the word "Afghan". The bats were flying foxes. They sleep during the day. They are very cute and sweet natured and vegetarians, and absolutely nothing to be feared.

    Kimberley is divided into east and west… either east or west Kimberley would swallow Texas plus…west Kimberley is me… it is magical all over the Kimberley’s … as for the camel rides on cable beach….hmmm… volunteered with St John’s ambulance for a number of years… one of the call outs I hated was tourists on camels 🐪… when you are approximately two meters off the ground and the camel bucks it can send you up another meter or so before falling to the ground and damp sand on an incoming tide creates issues for getting to and from the casualty… beware on camel rides, always have good travel insurance… tyranny of distance is a curse and magical all at once…

    Camels were imported from Afghanistan and their keepers (cameleers) came with them. They stayed and eventually died from natural old age in the desert areas. There are a few Afghans living in different parts of Australia but it is not a large percentage of them. Camels were brought in because they needed very little to work long hours in the desert and they needed to open trade routes between areas across the outback and cities. They needed cameleers to keep them because the locals didn't know anything about camels.

    Those bats are all over Australia. They a fruit bats and every night they go out to their favourite spot to feed. Even in the suburbs you get them in your back yards. My old place every night I had a big one come and eat the fruits. They are harmless and you can even handle them if they are used to humans. They are great bats besides the bat poo that as it eats into the paint on your car if not cleaner off in time due to the acid that in the berries or fruit.

Surely we could do something a bit better than this to honour these brave early pioneers. Maybe someone could do a research project and find some names and dates and get it done properly??? Yes- big BIG Beautiful Country up there. Well worth a visit.

    No available early transport so camels and cameleers were imported from Pakistan/Afghanistan to provide transport of large commodities across the desert areas When motors arrived camels were often set loose there being no further use for them Signs of those times are the thriving date palms mosques and that excess wild camels are exported to Arabic nations being mainly disease free and having different blood line away from inbreeding
