The camels are coming!

And I say that with all the frightening gravity that it implies. Australia is facing a new menace; one which comes with humps, a complete disregard for toilets and unquenchable thirst!

Being so far away from my homeland, you can imagine my grief and surprise when I read THIS ARTICLE and found out about the devastating turn of events.

Australia is under attack!

Australians grab your akubras, your barbecues and your shrimp – the time for action is now!

Read the article...skip over the part where the journalist mentions that there are more than 1 million rogue camels roaming the outback like incestuous relics of an 19th century hunting expedition. And that each one emits lethal methane: “a greenhouse gas significantly more potent than carbon dioxide” into the atmosphere.

We can worry about that later.

For now we have bigger problems. The camels are turning vicious!

According to a concerned source, by the name of Dr Moore, “If everyone knew what they were doing, people would be more concerned...especially when they start coming into town and kicking down your toilet.”

OH THE HUMANITY!

Apparently “hordes of thirsty camels descended on the small town [of Docker River in the southwest of Alice Springs] during a drought in 2009”.

The story doesn’t specify what happened during that dark, dry time in Docker River, but people need to know that their toilets are no longer safe!

So, to do my part, I’ve decided to write a movie that’ll document the incident. I imagine it will be a cross between Jaws and Snowtown

Here’s the poster:
