Camel Taxis would be cool. Camels are exellent offroad creatures and could be great for touring the outback for turists etc.. There must be many ways of expolring and utilizing all those camels to benefit the country. Id like to fly out from Denmark and see and learn more... Best Wishes from the cold North Called Denmark.

The camels are spread over an area larger than most countries on this planet. Literally MILLIONS of square kilometers. There are no or few roads, and the areas in between them are so rough that you can not drive even a 4WD vehicle there. How would you administer birth control to half a million camels in that kind of terrain? Spray magic birth control juice from airplanes? How long would it take to catch and treat every (female?) camel, how much would it cost, and how effective would it be - considering that camels can live 30 years. There are many "creative" solutions, unfortunately I've yet to hear one that would actually work. at those talking about “birth control” and “simply rounding the camels up” or whatever – you obviously have NO IDEA about the dimensions of this problem!

Why is there not simply a round up and proposal for ranchers to take on the responsibility for the animals and start Camel Dairies. Australia would also be an ideal global trading partner for the breeding that will also be in higher demand in the coming years. There are certainly more creative solutions. This is only one.
