In a remarkable feat at the 2024 Sydney Royal Cheese and Dairy Show, Queensland's Summer Land Camels clinched top honors, signaling potential inspiration for farmers on the Downs to explore incorporating camels into their livestock.

At the esteemed competition, Summer Land Camels secured Gold for Camel Milk, Silver for Camel Milk Persian Feta, and Bronze for Camel Milk Powder, reaffirming their status as leaders in the industry.
Paul Martin, the visionary behind Summer Land Camels, expressed his elation at the continued success, marking the seventh consecutive year of recognition. Renowned as Australia's largest camel dairy and the world's largest wild camel training center, Summer Land Camels has spearheaded innovation in product development while prioritizing the preservation of the milk's health benefits.
Martin emphasized the importance of fostering a sustainable camel industry rather than resorting to culling these remarkable creatures, reflecting the company's commitment to this initiative.
While camels may seem novel to some, they have historical roots in the Darling Downs, having been utilized by early pioneers for various purposes. The town of Tara commemorates this heritage with its annual camel race, underscoring the cultural significance of these animals in the region.
Moreover, with feral camels posing significant challenges, Martin advocates for harnessing their potential rather than resorting to culling, presenting a viable solution to mitigate their impact.
