Sallay Mahomet (original) (raw)

Sallay Mahomet (16 September 1911 – 15 July 1983), sometimes spelled Saleh, was an Afghan Australian cameleer and camel trainer who lived for much of his life at Alice Springs. Mahomet is perhaps best known for helping train Robyn Davidson for the 1977 camel expedition that is documented in her book Tracks, and a subsequent 2013 film adaptation.
