Summary:They first came to Australia in 1840 and their Afghan handlers became part of Australian history. But the advent of rail links and motorised transport saw the use of camels short-lived and many were freed. Australia is now the last country on Earth to have herds of wild Arabian camels. Working and living in a makeshift camp, two German researchers spent more than three years studying these fascinating animals, revealing new information on their physiology and complex social behaviour.
