Not that I've seen or care about the movie, but I couldn't help but nitpick over one thing: There are camels in the Australian outback (not native though). Camel-riding is a popular sport there as well. I was actually surprised that it was included in the movie because it showed that someone WAS doing research.

Once more, my urge to go for the cheap gag lands me in hot water...
Sorry, louloubelle - I did know that, and they actually mention it in the film anyway.
Fair dinkum.

It's no problem, in fact don't even change it if you don't want to.

Change it? Perish the thought Once it has left my quill, it is committed forever to the written word, regardless of factual errors or biased or just plain incorrect content. And later on FOX News... - Rich

I do wish there weren't any camels in Australia. It makes my fairly recent trip to the Arab Emirates seem less exotic.

There are camels in the Australian outback (not native though). In fact, there are a lot of "feral" camels (Europeans brought them to the outback and let 'em loose, and they're out-competing a lot of native and rare fauna). I saw an episode of the Crocodile Hunter where Steve Irwin helped round up some of these camels. He got pretty beat up in the process.

Rabbits damage the native flora/fauna too. And cats. It sucks living here. I want a pet rabbit, but it's illegal in this state Cats aren't illegal, but apparently it is when they eat a pretty rare bird *le sigh*
