The Northern Territory Government has provided $49,000 to cull the beasts in an emergency response.
The local shire chief executive (and ex England manager) Graham Taylor, says water supplies have been damaged, underground sewers have been trampled and crushed, and the airport is virtually unusable. Do I not like that.
Frightened residents of Docker River have come home from work to find camels in their back yards,their garages, and sometimes even their front rooms.
Although camels are rumoured to like arrid conditions and store water in their humps, it's thought that because of such harsh outback conditions at the moment, they are as dry as a Nuns chuff. Hence the decision to congregate at Docker River.
