==Australia== {{See also|Australian feral camel|Ernest Eugene Kramer}} In the English-speaking world the term "camel train" often applies to [[Australia]], notably the service that once connected a railhead at [[Oodnadatta]] in [[South Australia]] to [[Alice Springs]] in the center of the continent. The service ended when the [[Central Australia Railway]] line was extended to Alice Springs in 1929; that train is called ''[[The Ghan]]'', a shortened version of "Afghan Express", and its logo is camel and rider, in honor of the "Afghan cameleers" who pioneered the route.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.greatsouthernrail.com.au/site/the_ghan/history.jsp|title=The Ghan; history|publisher=Great Southern Rail|access-date=18 February 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120202122818/http://www.greatsouthernrail.com.au/site/the_ghan/history.jsp|archive-date=2 February 2012}}</ref>
