" I came for the swag beneath the stars (and found a brilliant moon) and for the experience of once again being in the centre of our wide brown ancient land. The camels were the means to achieve this. I found however, that the camels were central to our trek and have so enjoyed my contact with these strong and patient animals". Barbara Nagy, Figtree, New South Wales.
Your trek or expedition will have up to 18 dromedaries who will be your constant companions, earning your respect as they carry your food, water and equipment over the dunes and across the gibber plains. They travel in a ‘string’ or caravan with each camel tied to the one in front. If you have never travelled with camels before, you are in for a surprising experience. Camels have the reputation of being bad-tempered and obstinate creatures but in reality they are good-natured, patient and intelligent. These massively strong gentle giants are a constant source of delight, interest and amusement.

Video by David Curl. Far removed from the lives of domesticated camels in the Middle East, the Australian Outback is now home to the only truly wild population of one-humped camels, anywhere in the world. Over four years in the making, this is a personal and intimate tale of the unexpected. It reveals, for the first time, the lives of these extraordinary creatures - in the most surprising of locations. |
