Fly, run, sail, canoe, kayak or sail. Australia offers many options when it comes to enjoying a good vacation but if there is something exotic in this world it is ride a camel. From an elephant too, of course, but that's not possible in Australia. What is possible is to do it on the back of one of these desert animals. But are there camels in Australia? Yes, although they are not indigenous animals, of course.
Camels were brought to Australia by European settlers when they discovered the deserts and deserts of this land. These are Arab camels whose ancestors arrived in the first half of the XNUMXth century at the hands of Afghan traders. Once the caravans crossed the deserts linking Darwin, Alice Springs, Perth and Adelaide, but today they carry tourists and not merchandise on their backs. With the arrival and extension of the train to these central areas of the country, camels fell into disuse to revive decades after the hand of tourism.
From Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, camel rides take you out into the desert and out to the coast for a barbecue or sunset over the sea. There are all kinds of excursions and even trips of more than one day through the Outback. Can you imagine it? See the star-studded sky next to a camel…. As if you were in Arabia!
