#### 325 | #### Stevens Christine | #### Tin Mosques and Ghan Towns
A history of Afghan Camel Drivers in Australia. 372 pages Feral camels roam Central Australia, how Camels came to Australia, the part they played in inland exploration and development and above all, the story of the men who accompanied them, are the subjects of this book. The Afghan camelmen were tribesmen and peasants from Southern and Eastern Afghanistan. Their outback communities – the Ghantowns-were religious and cultural ghettoes, where no imam called the faithful to prayer, but nonetheless, the traditions of Islam and of their ancestors were faithfully followed in an alien and often hostile land. Stevens has recreated the life stories of the Afghan camelmen, their wives and their families, from a wealth of unpublished sources. Supplemented by over one hundred rare and original photos. Two of the Afghan’s joined the Ottoman Army by writing to the Caliph in Istanbul during WW I as a consequence they turned their Ice Cream van into an armoured car and attacked an Australian Troop train resulting in the death of both the Afghans. The Islamic flag which the armoured car bore is today displayed in an Australian museum. £45
