Handled by cameleers from Afghanistan and regions of what is now Pakistan and India, the animals were central to the development of inland Australia, carrying supplies, guiding expeditions and helping construct major infrastructure.
Hosted by the Association of Haryanvis in Australia (AHA), the event was held under the theme “Ek Drishti • Ek Disha” (One Vision • One Direction), reflecting calls for greater coordination among Hindu organisations and deeper engagement with Australian society.
