As a follow up to the Friends of Camellers support group, the main thrust is towards the establishment of Australian Cameleers Museum. The idea of a cameleers museum is not new. Recent efforts to rekindle this history include the naming of The Ghan railway route and preservation of cemeteries. Phillip Jones in South Australia and Anna Kenny in Alice Springs (the co-authors of the “Australian Muslim Cameleers”) have expressed their individual support. They are very passionate about this goal and sustained their interests through various efforts such as the Australian Muslim Cameleers Exhibition based on the book. As the exhibition had demonstrated, the Cameleers contributions merit permanence and a dedicated museum which would contribute greatly towards realizing multiculturalism. Australia’s increasing engagement with the Asian continent provides an excellent setting for the establishment of this historic project that symbolizes this long standing socio-economic relation.
