04.01.2022 The history of Afghan migration to Australia dates back to more than 150 years ago, with the arrival of the Afghan cameleers in Australia in the mid-19th Century. The Afghan cameleers were employed to explore the inhospitable heart of Australia with their ‘ships of the deserts’, as the traditional horses and wagons used for such expeditions were not suitable for the harsh conditions of the outback. The cameleers were collectively known as Afghans though a number of them came ...from other countries and regions as well. The cameleers provided a thriving camel transportation business which became the backbone of the Australian outback economy. For 60 years, the settlement and development of inland areas of Australia were dependent on these first Afghan migrants. They played a crucial role in the development of major transport facilities for the wool and mining industries and the success of major infrastructure projects such as the overland Telegraph and the railway between Adelaide and Darwin which came to be known as the ‘Afghan Express’ and later ‘The Ghan’ in their honour. Today the Ghan's emblem is an Afghan on a camel in recognition of the efforts of the Afghan cameleers.
