Meet Dr Max Bergman from DromeDairy Camel Dairy, north of Perth, who’s turning this misunderstood animal into a regenerative farming success story. From camel milk to sustainable skincare and soil-friendly grazing, Max believes that camels could hold the key to restoring Australia’s fragile arid landscapes.

Join Tim Thompson as he tours the farm, learns how camels are milked, and discovers how these desert giants are improving soils, biodiversity, and rural livelihoods.
