You mean they're not native?
How were they meant to benefit you?

Like usual the toads were to eat a bug that (I beleve) destroyed the sugar cane.
Now they are right through QLD and NSW and on our borders. Never heard of Cane golf?
Havent you guys ever seen the episode of the Simpsons where Bart want's to bring into the country a pet frog? but ends up taking home an evil koala? (drop bear) :wah::wah::wah:

You sure could use the Tasmanian wolves about now I guess.
Yep, some bright spark brought them into the west of Victoria and waited until they were many and used them as food and game. Like rabbits they bred and spread. Then we have the foxes .......
why do I get the feeling I'm being humoured?

Being humoured? Yeah, I reckon we're having our chains yanked, Fuzz... Still - it is amazing how little some foreigners seem to know about Australia. One of the questions I was asked at an Illinois middle school by 11 year olds was 'Did we have books here?". Those kids were serious. A few of them did however know roughly where Australia was and knew we had snakes and spiders and sharks (thanks Steve I).

That would be the Tasmanian Tiger Scrat. And interestingly they don't believe it extinct anymore. They believe it still may be (weirdly enough) in the Tasmanian and Victorian high country. Wouldn't be the first time they've said something was extinct here and then it pops it's head up.

I'm still writing on bark, Fuzzy.. well, at least I make little charcoal signs on the bark. Is that writing?
And it's too hot to wear fig leaves here. I'm in the altogether.

I don't quite think people realize the scale of such a problem! 6,000 roaming camels isn't a cup of tea and a biscuit!
6,000
Honestly!
Bring in a few Hornets, that aught to take care of the problem! It will give the pilots a bit of target practice...I mean,..camels can reach speeds of "up to 65 km/h (40 mph) in short bursts and sustain speeds of up to 40 km/h (25 mph)"! FFS!
There's always a trainer or more that will be more than willing to scout out the more dominant ones!
If all else fails you can just eat them!
6,000!

Yes, they were brought by Afghans originally, but a military solution is probably not necessary.. sigh...
Can we can this thread, Fuzzy. It's getting plain embarrassing.

I'd ship them off to be slaughtered(Keeping of course plenty to keep the herd adequately sustained) going to feed hungry people across the country or the world...

Australia is in a bad drought, it isn't going to get better soon. Maybe relocate some of them, tell the Saudis, some of their best racing camels come from wild stock. They may be interested for breeding purposes and new genetic material.
finally a good solution, re-locate.

So is this issue still unresolved?
Honestly, is anyone against "I'd ship them off to be slaughtered(Keeping of course plenty to keep the herd adequately sustained) going to feed hungry people across the country or the world..."?...
Is there something in camel tissue that all humans are allergic to?
No one likes the idea of eating camel? Perhaps a bit too dry? No one likes jerky?

Now everybody and their damn grandmothers knows that if this picture were of a stuffed whole cow they'd be placing ":yh_sick" and "gross" all in the same contexts.
I've found the uglier an animal is the tastier they are so I'd try camel because a camel is one of the ugliest animals I've ever seen!
