Travel Memories: Camels on Cable Beach



We hit the road tomorrow, so blogging will depend on whether we have mobile phone coverage wherever we pull up each night. We are heading off to Crookwell in NSW as the first stop in our summer travels. Arriving in time to mind the farm while our daughter has her second child. Not a fast trip but we will keep moving each day.

I showed you the sunsets off Cable Beach in Broome a few posts ago so I thought I would finish the story of Broome with some pictures of another time honoured means of outback transport. Camels. Australia has a very large population of feral camels and is one of the few places were they are disease free.

We have ridden camels a couple of times. Once when our youngest son was with us on a trip to Uluru.  We rode camels in the morning and had camel pies for lunch. We decided  not to talk about our plans for lunch during the ride just in case the camels decided to protest.


These photos are of the morning camel ride on Cable Beach. I got talked into going with K on the this expedition. It was ok, but give me a horse any day.







Cheers Sue
