But did you know it’s also home to the largest population of wild camels on Earth? After first arriving on our shores in 1860 to assist in the ill-fated Burke and Willis expedition to cross Australia from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria, there was once an estimated one million feral camels running wild across the Australian outback. Narrated by Robyn Davidson, author of Tracks – the story of her remarkable 1,700 mile trek on camelback across the deserts of western Australia – this riveting documentary looks at the history of the camel in our country. From the explorers who brought them here, to the people still working with them today, Running Wild: Australia’s Camels examines both the impact of feral camels on our fragile environment and the massive culling operations responsible for thinning the herd.
