A Camel, The Outback, and a Sore Bum
"Camel trekking in the Australian Outback puts you in touch with our unique natural heritage. Kangaroos, emus, goannas, dingos and a myriad of beautiful parrots and native animals simply stop and watch, as the spectacle of a fully loaded commercial camel string passes quietly by."Slowly crossing vast and pristine Australian Outback landscapes by camel and competent guidance is an educational experience. The surface is littered with stone artefacts, evidence of early aboriginal occupation, and it is possible to interpret the landscape based on this information. Hidden water sources, major walkabout routes and primary food sources are all indicated by this means. It is absolutely marvelous to be able to read desert landscapes in this manner."
That makes my ears perk up and my nostrils flare! Now where is that camel?
