Who was South Australia's First Camel?
( Dec. 27, 2019)
The first camel in South Australia arrived at Port Adelaide in 1840 onboard the S.S. Appoline after being purchased by the Phillips brothers in Tenerife in the Canary Isles. He was part of a shipment of six camels but before the camels could be secured, the ship sailed into a storm and only one camel survived. The camel was seen as a valuable animal by John Ainsworth Horrocks who purchased him and kept him at his homestead at Penwortham. He was later used on exploratory expeditions into the northern arid lands of South Australia, where he became famous, perhaps for the wrong reason!
