Giving chase to capture the half-grown female, the good citizens managed to capture the ship of the desert, on the corner of Bridge and Bayne streets.
City of Greater Bendigo animal catcher, Peter Birchall, helped put a makeshift bridle over her head, as the unknown camel whisperer tried to calm her down after her long gallop.
Despite a badly grazed elbow, the camel was able to deliver a thumping kick to the whisperer’s shins, to show just how NOT impressed she was with the whole capture.
The Bendigo Advertiser is investigating the whereabouts of the camel's home and owner.
