In this documentary, OnePath Network journeys deep into the Australian outback to uncover a little-known chapter of Australia’s Islamic history.
Our journey takes us to Broken Hill, home to one of the oldest surviving mosques in regional Australia, built by Muslim cameleers in the late 1800s.
Practising Islam far from home, they crossed the outback carrying supplies that helped connect some of Australia’s most remote regions. Living and working on Indigenous land, they established mosques and communities that quietly became part of Australia’s foundation.
The mosque stands as proof that Muslims were not visitors here — they became part of the land’s story.

The camels aren't long gone. They were released and now Australia has one of the largest wild Camel populations in the world, with about 1m feral camels running around the outback. We should eat them.
He wasn't Afghan he was from Peshawar, Pakistan
جزاكم الله خيرا
Wow what a rich history of Muslims in Australia.
Thank you for sharing ❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇸🇩🇾🇪🌍
Allah Hu Akbar ✊
Can you plz turn off the ads because YouTube ads is just showing nasty and disturbing content
It's just unimaginable courage that these people had and one day decided to move out of their homes in landlocked region with hundreds of Bactrian camels across seas to an alien continent on the other side of the world and settle there😬🤯From being nomads in one world to becoming builders for a new country. Ironically these camels native to Afghanistan are fewer in number now than Australia.
SubhanAllahi velhamdulillahi ve la ilahe illallahu vallahu Akbar
My ancestors were cameleers and I have been to Australia and met with Native people and I adore their culture, their songs, languages. Love to all Australians, had made really good friends there.
MashaAllah, this is so amazing. A great discovery brought to light through this journey.
Background music is too much
Very interesting and informative video, mashallah
Masha Allah
Just heard about this a few weeks ago in a talk.
Is it true they built masjids right across the train tracks?
What about the progeny of these cameleers? Could you please research into them as to their condition today? As what I heard in the talk was far from positive about their current plight today
Mashallah
MashAllah
interesting 🤔
The Prophet ﷺ said: "If you ask Allah for Paradise, then ask Him for Al-Firdaws for it is the highest part of Paradise, in the middle of Paradise, and from it spring the rivers of Paradise, and above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful." [Bukhari and Muslim]
Whoever recites Qul huwa Allahu ahad (Surah al-Ikhlas) ten times, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise. (Sahih al-Jami' al-Saghir, 6472).
Mashallah, amazing vid
They've been made scapegoat for development of this country not killings of natives,propaganda against their ways by others dont wash anymore with anyone .
May the almighty preserve and protect their families.
Oh my days we got Aussie Muslims now LETS GOO
Wish there was more recognition for other groups of people aside from the UK in our Aussies history books (especially aboriginals and Afghans tbh)
Gary, the custodian of a masjid. Allah SWT blesses who pleases him.
