Book Description:
|
The camel, introduced into central Australia in the early days of European penetration, soon ran wild. In the more arid regions, the Pitjantjatjara (Pitjantjara) now make use of the feral camels. By taming and using them as pack animals, it is possible for the people to maintain social and cultural ties throughout the vastness of their country.
