    • 6 Pages

    Introduction: It is easy to say that the Afghan Cameleers were a triumph for Australian trade, rural supply and exploration. Afghani people first came to Australia during the 1860s. These people were known as “cameleers”. They travelled to Australia with “travelling papers” which they obtained while working in British India. The Afghan Cameleers operated in most areas of transportation, mining and the supply of required items to farms, communities and towns. A small amount of these settled in Victoria in 1901, while others settled along the Port of South Australia. The aim throughout this essay is to argue that the Afghan Cameleers were a triumph for Australian trade, rural supple and exploration.…

    I first thought about climbing Mount Bogong early in the year when I learnt that I had a family connection with my Great Uncle dying up on Mount Bogong in 1943. I thought it would be good to visit three main spots, Mitchell Hut (very close to where Martie Buckland died), the summit (highest point in Victoria) and the Gadsden Memorial (where my great uncle is memorialised). At first I thought that my uncle David (mentor) and my two cousins Andrew and Michelle and I should go, that didn't work out as Andrew and Michelle weren't that interested in coming. I then moved on to doing the climb with my uncle David and a family friend in Sydney named Nick and his dad Will. The dates didn't work out as they were going on a family holiday at that time.…
