were did the first camels to be intrduced to Australia come from?

Answer 1

Camels were first introduced into Australia from the Canary Islands in 1840. Subsequently an estimated 12,000 camels were imported and ultimately released into the wild when road and rail transport resumed the camel’s role as a means of carrying freight.

Answer 2

The first camel came to Australia from the Canary Islands in 1840. It was the only one to survive out of several that made the journey. The dromedary landed at Port Adelaide, South Australia in October, 1840. It was shot at the request of its owner.
Many different types and breeds of camels were brought into Australia, but most were from India. They included the large, fleece-bearing, two-humped Bactrian camel of China and Mongolia, the elite Bishari and Bikaneri riding camels of Arabia, and the powerful, freightcarrying lowland Indian camels, capable of moving huge loads of up to 800 kilograms. The feral camels found in Australia are a meld of these breeds but can be split into two types: a slender riding form and a heavier pack animal.
The next major group of camels to come to Australia was a group of 24 in 1860 to take part in an expedition across the continent from south to north. Three Afghans and an ex-British soldier arrived with the camels.
Between 1860 and 1907 about 12,000 camels were imported into Australia. They were used to plow the interior for farms and for transportation around the desert. Most of the camels came from India and Pakistan.
