Silverton Outback Camels is a small business operating in the Historic town of Silverton, just outside Broken Hill in the beautiful Outback of NSW. I was compelled to continue the long association with camels in Silverton when I learned the Cannard family were no longer continuing with the camel tours.
Lofty Cannard started rides in Penrose Park, Silverton in the 1960’s. The family ran rides for nearly 60 years here in Silverton.
Silverton had been founded on the back of camels. I have been given original photographs of the camels here in the 1880s. I am fortunate enough to know direct descendants of the original pioneering cameleer families in this region. Names such as Shamroze, Khan, and Fazulla are still prominent in the region. We know direct descendants of these Muslim Cameleers and that of Bejah Dervish.
The farm is not far from the route taken by Bourke & Wills and their camels.
2 of my camels have been featured in Australian Geographic magazine. Some other camels have been featured in documentaries by overseas film companies who have visited the farm to film and retell the story of the district & cameleers.
We will continue to carry on this tradition as camels are as much at home in Silverton as we are. We will preserve the local history and tell the story of the Cameleers along the way.
We are located 20 minutes from Broken Hill, in the historic outback town of Silverton, NSW. Our address is 1939 Silverton Rd, Silverton NSW 2880
