A woman has been hospitalised with injuries after being trampled by a rogue camel on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast on Christmas Eve.
The woman, who is aged in her 50s, was reportedly trampled by a camel “roaming free” on Noosa Street at Mothar Mountain in Gympie at about 10am, according to a spokesperson for Queensland Ambulance Service.
She was taken to Gympie Hospital with wrist injuries.
It is not known where the camel came from.
The trampling comes just one week after a separate trio of runaway camels escaped a nativity scene at a Brisbane church and ran amok through the city.
The camels reportedly made their way out of the church Houdini-style, when they realised they could open the gate of the pen in which they were being kept and made a run for it.
The escapee trio journeyed across three Brisbane suburbs before they were caught.
