Trackless and bare are the sands of the desert

No verdure adorns them, no green tree is there;

Parched by the winds and the hot, scorching sun rays,

Strewn with white bones lying bleaching and bare,

Patiently, slowly, across the vast ocean

Plod the strong camels, so faithful and true; Ships of the desert, with merchandise laden,

The ability of the camel to survive in desert conditions without water for long periods of time is rivalled by none. The many physiological adaptations the dromedary have even earned it the title "ship of the desert". Dromedaries can glean much of their needed water from desert vegetation, and can survive after losing over 40 percent of their body weight in water. When water is available, whether fresh or brackish (salty), camels drink well - up to 57 litres at a time.

You never know what you will find on the backroads of Texas. Have a wonderful weekend.

When I was packing for a weekend getaway down to Camel Rock on the NSW South Coast I looked at the 3 tents in my garage. My Ultra Like Big Agnes, my Hilleberg Bomb Shelter or my palatial Black Wolf weekender.

 

While this shot was being taken my Black Wolf was perched on an open hill back at Dalmeny Campground being hammered by 50km/h winds. Maybe I should have packed differently…

 

In the end I came away fairly un-scathed with just a broken tent pole, a small price to pay for finally getting myself down to this remarkable part of the coast. There are literally too many comps here to count and I didn’t even both looking at Horse Head or Glasshouse.

 

I’ll definitely be back and next time I’ll be prepared!

The Camel runs north out of Padstow, England to the sea. As it widens, it becomes a sort of idyllic summertime playground, especially at low tide. The sandbars in the photo pretty much disappear at high tide. Don't worry though, you'll feel the water lapping at your toes if you doze off!

The age old question of does this halter make my nose look bigger? Maybe a different color???

Sunset time in the Arabian Desert. There's a stillness that is almost indescribable. Wildlife slowly walk somewhere - wherever you look. The Camel herds drift off into the coming night and the sun turns pink before it drops in a heartbeat.

….The Camel Estuary at Padstow North Cornwall, Harbour Cove in the foreground beyond the Valerian looking over to Hawkers Cove & Iron Cove. On the other side you can see Pentire Point above Polzeath. Looking forward to visiting and walking here again this year. If you've heard of the Beer 'Doom Bar' it is named after the sand bar that lies plumb in the middle here - a can be a bumpy ride in a boat if a little treacherous in rough weather!!! Alan:-)

……Just a short hop & a skip up the hill from our camp site that we use when visiting North Cornwall and as you can see a 5 minute stroll into Padstow, this is taken on the Saints way. Alan:-)…….

Camel racing at Bankstown Paceway.

A few years ago, we took a long holiday drive from Adelaide, through Victoria and onto New South Wales. Much of that drive was through areas that took the brunt of the recent fires.

 

This is Camel Rock beach near Bermagui in New South Wales. Many residents and holiday makers were forced to take refuge on the beach or in boats.
