"Camels are easy to kill"

[F. Vaccaro]

Are Camels abundant in Australia? Are they a pest?

Yes,
They are a pest but in certain areas. The bottom half of Australia would have very low numbers. Only isolated populations

Estimate s of population vary greatly. Between 300,000 to 1,000,000. Australia is a big place so it's not an obvious problem

On a large property of 1million acres I they don't see them regularly.

When they start walking through fences they get the attention of the landholder who then makes the priority.

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen I'd be interested in hunting if/when things line up. Like everything distance is a big part out here.

Been reading what I can on Butchering band eating Camel. Not going to convert but I would take some meat.

Ive made Salami and a Bison sausage , Metwurst is next. I will try using some game meats of I'm gonna harvest them.

Just curious, is camel meat worth eating?

To me it tastes a fair bit like lamb

Stupid auto correct, in my last post. 'Bison Sausage" I've never seen a Bison.

Thank you, I really enjoy learning about other countries from those who are actually there. We can be friends across miles of ocean.
