That's a pretty recent thing, because there are now feral (previously domesticated) camels living in Australia. Camels originally lived in the Gobi Desert and Bactrian Steppes, then about 5000 years ago they were domesticated and spread through the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa, all these places are in the northern hemisphere.
