Always funny how those with an agenda seek to educate others without adequately educating themselves. Also interesting that our School kids are taught content that is not accurate at all and slants towards the leftist diatribe espoused by the likes of boomer and pinhead.
Sure Afghans used Camels to carry trade goods, but they used already discovered and mapped routes that were pioneered by European explorers many decades before hand.
Take John McDouall Stuart, the first south to north crossing and back in 1862. No Camels there at all despite Camels being in the country for a good 20 yrs before hand.
Afgahni's rocked up at around the same time the early 1860's or so, but by then most over/inland routes had already been mapped/explored by horse or mule as the Europeans were unfamiliar with the use of Camels .
Credit where it is due though, the Afghani Cameleer's did provide a lot of trade goods over vast distances through hostile country over many decades but they did so on established routes based on known Aboriginal/European previously established routes, not through their own discovery and not through the imports of Camels.
I traveled on the old Ghan Railway train as a 6 yr old in 1976 to Alice Springs from port Augusta not having a clue at all what it was named after at the time.... All I can surmise now is screw that for a job.
