"In the Footsteps of the Afghan Muslim Cameleers: Shaping the Birth of Australia Exhibition”

The Afghan Cameleers played a pivotal role in the formation of Australia, a story often overlooked but undeniably significant.

The Afghans and their camels were requested by the British empire to come to the new colony in 1860 as they needed help bringing the scattered colonies of NSW, VIC, QLD, WA etc. together. At the time, cars were nonexistent, and horses couldn't withstand the intense desert heat.

Discover the extraordinary journey of the Afghan cameleers, the hidden heroes whose contributions shaped the foundation of Australia.

Step into their world and uncover the stories of these remarkable individuals who braved the outback, bridging cultures, becoming the postal system, the electoral system, and the 'ships of the desert' saving lives, delivering food, water, and trade goods.

Their remarkable contributions accelerated the formation of Australia by 50 years, making the Afghan Cameleers unsung heroes in our nation's history.

Join us for a captivating exhibition that brings to light the forgotten legacy of the Afghan cameleers and their pivotal role in Australia's history.
