On hump day last week, a camel was rescued in Jung

Police and emergency services are prepared for a lot of different scenarios – yet rescuing a camel probably isn’t one of them.

Last week in Jung, police and locals rushed to the scene, where the humped creature had somehow snagged its foot on a railway line.

The Overland train service, which runs through the area, were alerted, as they worked to shepherd the camel back to its home on a farm nearby.

Ironically, this incident happened on ‘hump day’ – Wednesday – and among those on the scene were local newspaper journalist David Ward, who recounted the bizarre rescue to Rebekah Lowe.
