Saving Feral Camels at Brisbane's Camel Farm

Monday, September 9, 2024
by Eliot Rifkin

Did you know that we have feral camels living right here in Queensland? Do you know how the camels got to Australia or if they are an environmental problem? Are they being culled like the feral horses at Snowy River in Victoria?

4ZZZ's Eliot Rifkin chatted with Paul Martin from Summerland Camels to discuss his local camel farm as well as feral camels

For a deep dive...

Here's the history of Summerland Camels as well as how to visit for a tour, camel ride and their cafe. Summerland Camels is on both Facebook and Instagram and camel milk has a wealth of benefits.

What is a feral camel and what is the camel history here in Australia? Did you know llamas are part of the camel family, here's the other camel family members. Why do camels have one hump or two?
