Since 2019 ADE has collaborated with Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, placing Veterinary Students on some surveys.
The opportunity forms part of a student’s work placement program.
Three years of Covid inspired border closures, then two years of flooding, have meant things haven’t quite gone to plan, but we are hoping to restart the initiative this winter.

📍184 years ago today the 12th October 1840 the first camel was introduced to Australia. The first camel to land was the sole survivor of a shipment of nine ordered from Tenerife in the Canary Islands by the Phillips brothers. 🐪🐪🐪
They were shipped aboard the ‘SS Appoline’ and landed at Port Adelaide on October 12th 1840.
This camel became known as ‘Horricks Camel’ and was named after Explorer John Ainsworth Horricks ( 1818-46), a pioneer pastoralist and explorer. Horrocks made use of the camel when he led an expedition to explore the country between Port Augusta and Lake Torrens. The party included artist S.T. Gill an unpaid draftsman whom drew the drawing below.
