But what they did use was camel trains because they were good for moving stuff to and from outlying runs. In the outback there were a train that went from Darwin to Adelaide just in four days. The Ghan was the name of that train and it was named after Afghan cameleers who travelled that route. There were some problems building the railway because of the rocks which blocked the way, and there was also some drifting sand. For the people that moved to the outback it meant they went to school. They have a radio transmitted school for kids who are isolated in the outback and if they were too sick to come in.
