Answer 1

Yes. Australia is the only country that has wild camels. The Arab traders brought them over to help transport luggage and goods, and they just started to breed, and now there is a large number of wild camels, mostly in central Australia.

Answer 2

Yes there are many Camels in the Simpson Desert.

Australia actually has the world's largest feral camel population, and there are estimated to be half a million wild camels in Western Australia alone.
