I am proud to say that my great grandfather was one of these amazing men - Afghan Cameleers.
Hey there, that Aboriginal man who is talking is my father, Raymond Finn. He was born in Maree

Thank you for sharing that. He is a powerful communicator.
I hope to meet him, I heard he lives in Surrey Hills ?
Todd Shaw, yes we live in Surry Hills :) if you would like to get in contact with him, I can give you his email if you like
@@AbooHuthayfa also my Dad said he would love to get in contact with you, in regards with this video :)
Aliinyjita-Gracie Mongta-Finn sounds great. No problem:)
Great to watch this video that reminds me of my grandfather telling us, when we were small children, how he went to Australia as guard with the pashtoon cameleers. My grandfather was denied permission back to Australia when he came home for a couple years to stay with my grandmother and his family.
Those cameleers who went to Australia were from the Zadran, Kharoti and Zhawzhi tribes. They were the pashtoon nomadic tribes who still live the same life as they have lived for centuries. The only thing that changed is that they are now confined either in Pakistan or Afghanistan, thanks to the Americans who made us stay as residents of Pakistan or Afghanistan. A nomadic culture that existed for hundreds of years is no more.
I believe that I have blood relationship with the aboriginal people of Australia because my grandfather had also married an Australian aboriginal girl legally but, even though he presented his marriage certificate to the Australian authorities in India and his wife in Australia, they never united again.
Due to all this he was never able to go back and neither could he ever get his wife to India.
In my village we have a family that looks more like the aboriginal people of Australia than the fair skinned Pushtoons. They are called the Hajigoolon family. I had seen the old fat black lady with kinky hair and a non Pushtoon accent, now I recall looked exactly like an aborigine. They say their grandmother was a Tera Ospali. In our Banici language Tera means a black female and Ospa means a mare ore a black female horse. Now I know what they meant. The old name of Australia was Terra Australis. We have habit of Baniwolizing foreign words into our Banici language, just like another famous British name in Bannu is Laparsing, the first army officer who went from Mianwali to Bannu was Captain Nickelson.
"To know the story of Australia's Cameleers,Then we must go back over 150 years"
That's poetry bro Baarik Allah feek
Long live the brave and lion hearth Afghans . . . my whole respects and pryers to them .
Allahu Akbar, semoga Allah melindungi saudaraku di Australia. Greetings from Sumatra island Indonesia

Afghan Cameleers!
thank you
Fantastic video and rich in history. Thank you for sharing. I think our two groups should speak Shaheed as I believe together we could break so many of the negative views that todays society are poisoned with. Our organisation is "the Cameleers" are a group of ex-ADF members who have found their peace by travelling Australia's outback like the Cameleers in your video. We can 100% relate to the hardship that those early Cameleers endured, as we can also relate to the close bond between us and the traditional land owners of Channel country where we volunteer our services to help write history in a fair and accurate way. Nowhere near enough is written about the sacrifices of these remarkable, hard working men of colonial Australia, but we are working on it now. Again, thank you for sharing, and know that you have friends up in north Queensland who share your dream.
Thank you for the your feedback. It sounds like you are involved in some amazing projects. It will be great to hear more about your work and share information some time in the near future.
check your email.

What about Faiz Mahomet, Tagh Mahomet and Gaulah Mahomet ? I blongs to that family
Are you saying they were Indian but not Hindu?
"they were predominantly Muslim, from the North-Western Frontier of India and the surrounding region..." 3:21 minutes. There were a number of Hindoos and Sikhs who also came to Australia. The cameleers were mostly Muslim, though not all. :)
Shaheed Drew I saw a documentary that shows they are Muslim and not Hindu. They are Afghans not Indi. It’s on TH-cam you may find, they have even interviewed and ask them what language they speak back then they said we don’t know but we can some word. Those words were Afghans words
Masha Allah bro keep up jazak Allah khyre for sharing great !!!
