Uluru Final - Camels and Rain storms

 

Here is the last of our Uluru posts.  On our drive out to Kata Tjuta we finally spotted some camels.  Apparently there are millions of camels (literally) living in central Australia.  We had not seen any yet but really wanted to as it is exciting to see such a large wild animal and also Australia is one of the few places in the world that even has wild camels.

So at about 6am driving out to the Olgas we spotted some camels.  We got photos and then some movies and then we ended up seeing at least 50 camels, all very healthy looking.

We also stopped a few times along our trip to get some pics of sunsets and rainstorms.  This one is from just near Uluru.

  1. Will you have a couple of camels on the farm? We could have camel rides. An idea for the markets. Lovely panorama shots once again. x
