The early camels were primarily used to transport goods from the various ports to inland towns and areas as they could handle the dry conditions better than horses and bullocks. The introduction of camels required persons used to handling them so in the late 1800s to the early 1900s approx 3000 cameleers were brought into Australia from India, Bombay and the Afghanistan areas. The construction of the railway line from Port Augusta to Alice Springs relied very much on the camel trains bringing the materials and the cameleers were referred to as Ghans. No doubt a derogatory term 100 years ago but now the name of the Adelaide to Darwin train service "The Ghan." The camels being no longer required many were let loose and they have bred like rabbits and as pointed out are disease free and exported to Saudi Arabia as they are some of the most purest bred. Pity we can't export the rabbits and foxes.

Ryan, I agree, the narrator was a major disappointment, and the video was riddled with glaring errors. Anyway, while I'm here, for future reference can I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the phonetic vowel sound known as 'schwa': ə (yes, it looks like an upside down, back to front 'e'). It's a bit like a shortened, unstressed "uh" sound. The 'a' in 'again' or 'away' is a schwa: i.e. 'əgen', 'əway'. Schwa is the sound used to correctly pronounce the second syllable of Melbourne or Brisbane, i.e. 'Melbən', 'Brisbən'. This is so much more accurate than saying it's like "Melbin" or "Melbun", which can result in the wrong sounds entirely. Schwa is definitely your friend when trying to get these and many other Aussie pronunciations right.

Cottesloe beach, Perth. Those Kangaroo statues are in the CBD at the supreme court gardens, not in Kings Park. Australia has more camels than the rest of the world, combined. We actually export them to the middle east (because our camels are the best for camel racing). Camels were used to cross the interior deserts and then let loose when they were no longer needed. Feral camels occasionally ride into remote towns in herds and destroy the place (its a habit they have). The cameleers were brought from Afghanstan in the 1800s, which is why the famour train from Adelaide to Darwin is called the 'Ghan. Dont ever ride one - its the most uncomfortable transport ever and it kills your nuts.

The big fish is a Groper, it is one of the largest bony fish on the planet, and the most widely-distributed of the Grouper species. Given its impressive reputation, it’s no surprise that this mighty fish is the aquatic emblem of Queensland, Australia. Scientists know that Queensland Gropers/Giant Groupers grow to 2.7 m (close to 9’) in size and can easily weigh over 400 kg (880 lbs). On average, these fish weigh 70-200 kg and measure 1-2m in length, but they’re still the biggest and baddest fish on the reef! They even eat other large fish and small Sharks, but they’re favorite food is Crayfish (Lobster). They are extremely inquisitive, and while it is now discouraged to feed them by cutting up urchins, they still will approach divers as if expecting to be fed. Their lifespan is said to be up to 35 years according to some sources, longer according to others.

Afghan traders brought them to Australia - then became wild. Australian train journey from bottom to top: Adelaide to Darwin - the train is called The Ghan, in honour of them. I think because of our almost x3 years of La Nina and record flooding everywhere, that train is stranded in Alice Springs - sought of halfway point.

St Kilda Beach is mainly used by people living in and near city centre, and most likely tourists in city hotels that are not travelling far. The remaining beaches stretching over 50 km all the way down the eastern side of Port Philip Bay, and also many ocean beaches outside the bay would be destinations for most Melbourne area residents

As for how the camels got there: they were imported from British India and Afghanistan during the 19th century for transport and construction during the colonisation of the central and western parts of Australia, and many were released into the wild after motorised transport replaced the use of camels in the early 20th century, resulting in a fast-growing feral population.

Ryan, if you want to see something unique that can be found in Australia how about this video called ‘Why does Australia have so many pink lakes?’ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJyGhtmgtdTPkY0.html Also, that highway near the beginning in the Sydney segment is not in Sydney. It’s called Seacliff Bridge and it’s in the city immediately to the south of Sydney called Wollongong.
@neilf10594 ай бұрын
It''s a bit north of Wollongong, between Stanwell Park and Coalcliff. The road used to run along a narrow shelf cut into the cliff You can see behind the elevated road. The elevated road was built to get away from the rockfalls from the cliff. Except for the rocks on the road it used to be a nice motorbike ride all along the coast there.

@@neilf1059 it was scary enough driving around the cliff on the old road in my little Morris Minor, I couldn’t imagine doing it on a motorbike. Although they are indeed north of the city Coalcliff, Stanwell Park and Helensburgh are all suburbs of Wollongong. Sydney starts at Waterfall.

Camels were imported from Afghanistan in the 1800's. they were used to ship goods around the outback, they were more able to survive the conditions than horses. We have a passenger train that travels from Adelaide to Darwin (2900 kilometres) It is the world's longest passenger train sometimes reaching a kilometre in length (42 passenger coaches long) When the train arrived the camels were let loose to roam the outback, apparently we have more camels than the middle east.
