A patron at the fast food restaurant who had stopped for breakfast with friends, told the Herald Sun he was surprised by the discovery. 'You never usually see camels there - it was a funny discovery'. An hour later, Narre Warren police responded to reports of an unusual traffic hazard on the Princes Highway, where they found the trio munching on trees on the side of the road.
