More camel shots! Love camels! :)

Lunch break.

This is Rodger, the lead camel in 'our' string. He carried the kitchen gear, two swags and 2 x 20 litres of Port. Towards the end of the hike, when the two jerry cans of Port were almost empty I was able to load and unload him by myself which I really enjoyed! :) Three of the camels in our string were just like big pets, nice to handle and very patient.

 

There was a time when I though camels were native to Australia. It did not quite make sense, but at that time I did not have any other explanation.
