Author Description

This book examines the exploration and development of the Riverina District of New South Wales, in doing so it examines the contribution that Indians, AngloIndians and things Indian made to the development of the Riverina and Australia as a whole. It also examines the role that Indian Cameleers and Indian Camels played in the exploration and the development of inland Australia. In doing so, it explodes the myth that all Cameleers and Camels came from Afghanistan. Indians including Indian Cameleers played an important role during this time and without their assistance, the discovery and the economic development of inland Australia would not have proceeded so smoothly and swiftly. Because of the importance of the contribution that Indian Cameleers and Camels made to Australia and the fact that it has been wrongly attributed to Afghans, it is up to every person interested in Australian History, to take every step possible to correct this misinterpretation.
