Discover the untold stories of Afghan and Indian cameleers who transformed inland Australia and fuelled railway expansion.
About this Event

Join historian Pamela Rajkowski OAM as she uncovers the fascinating history of Afghan and Indian cameleers who helped establish inland Australia and their connection to the Commonwealth government railway projects.

From as early as the 1860s, cameleers and their sturdy camels were vital in connecting cities to the outback, leaving a lasting legacy on our nation’s history.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear their extraordinary tales and learn about their lasting impact on Australian society.

Afterwards, explore our exhibition, on display at the State Library of South Australia until 26 January 2025.

NAA: B3104, NEG 2.
