Afghan cameleers in Australia, also known as "Afghans" (Pashto: افغانان) or "Ghans" (Pashto: غانز), were camel drivers who worked in Outback Australia from the 1860s to the 1930s. Small groups of cameleers were shipped in and out of Australia at three-year intervals, to service the Australian inland pastoral industry by carting goods and transporting wool bales by camel trains. They were commonly referred to as "Afghans", even though a lot of them originated from the far western parts of British India, primarily Balochistan and the NWFP (now Pakistan), which was inhabited by ethnic Pashtuns and Balochs. Nonetheless, many were from Afghanistan itself as well. In addition, there were also some with origins in Egypt and Turkey. The majority of cameleers, including cameleers from British India

  • Афганцы (англ. Afghans) — погонщики верблюдов, которые работали в Австралии с 1860-е по 1930-е годы. Хотя их и называли афганцами, не все они были родом из Афганистана — некоторые прибыли из областей, на территории которых расположен современный Пакистан. Афганцы сыграли большую роль в распространении мусульманской веры в Австралии. (ru)

  • Les Afghans ou Ghans sont les chameliers originaires de l'Afghanistan et du Raj britannique, principalement des Pachtounes, envoyés en Australie afin de guider les dromadaires chargés de faciliter l'exploration puis la mise en valeur de l'outback, l'arrière pays désertique du continent. (fr)
  • Gli Afghani d'Australia (Afghans o Ghans) erano dei guidatori di cammelli dell'Afghanistan e del Raj britannico, inviati in Australia per guidare i dromedari utilizzati per facilitare l'esplorazione e la valorizzazione dell'outback, il retroterra desertico del continente. A causa della concorrenza delle automobili e della politica del governo australiano, a partire dagli anni '20 la maggioranza di loro fu costretta a lasciare il paese. (it)
