Outback Camels and Big Lizzie – OFFICIAL TRAILER 2
Since its inception in the early 1880s, Broken Hill has been a thriving mining boomtown. Its prosperity attracted able-bodied workers from across the region, quickly transforming the town into a bustling hub of activity. As its success grew, Broken Hill also became a key trading centre. Camel trains regularly passed through, using the town as a base along major inland trade routes. At the height of the camel train era, Broken Hill was home to two of the largest cameleer camps in Australia.
Among those drawn to Broken Hill was a young man named Frank Bottrill, who arrived in the late 1880s to work in the mines. While there, he witnessed the struggles of camels burdened with heavy loads. Moved by compassion for the animals, Frank resolved to find a solution. His vision took shape in the form of a massive, innovative traction engine—armoured with metal plates and fitted with wheels reminiscent of modern military tanks.
