[Nic]

I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up.

[mellowyellow]

Im not sure why, but this is very reassuring.

IIRC when there was a big fiasco about whats in meat pies camel got a mention!

 

[jikost]

so where have they all been hiding? It's not like you see them frolicking around when you drive through the country. But it's still good news anyway.

Why not ? Every other animal seems to be on menu's now.

The camels are left over from when Afghans were the only way of getting stuff from Adelaide to Darwin and Alice Springs. THey have been breeding in the interior of Australia for about 150 years now.




And I have eaten Camel. Tastes like ****.

We used to sell camels back to Saudi Arabia at one point - don't know if we still do. Camel meat (and kangaroo) is a bit tough for my liking, but crocodile and emu I find rather pleasant. Haven't had wombat yet, and koala is meant to be toxic...

 

[Ferox]

I LOVE Camels - but I couldn't eat a whole one tho!!!

 

[rizzo]

all we need is oil and we couldbe invaded by the US

The main streets of Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie were made wide to accomodate the Camel Trains when they turned.

Why don't they just have one of those turntable things like they have for normal trains?

Maybe we can't digest eucalyptus or something. That sounds kinda feasible doesn't it.

Strange indeed.

Not wanting to drag down the intellectual side of the conversation... BUT, does that not mean we have the most Camel-toes as well???
