Lovely capture in nice detail and colour, like your composition Babs, surprised white crash hats are worn by all on a beach location, elf & safety again possibly more likely to break your neck or do they have to wear neck braces too:)
What a wonderful sight, though not one I'd necessarily expect to see in Australia. Would certainly have grabbed my camera if I'd seen those coming along!
@yorkshirekiwi@pcoulson I think the helmets are quite a new thing. As Peter said 'elf and safety'. Not so sure the helmets would do you much good though because they are a bit bent and battered. I think it is just so that you can't sue if you fall off.
@dolphin today we have around 750,000 feral camels in Australia. They were introduced in the 1800s to be used for transport and heavy duty work when they were building the railways in the outback.
@stephanies I had to look this one up Stephanie. They run camel rides at the weekends and school holidays and the cost is $30 for an adult and $25 for a child. The ride is about 20 minutes long. Only children over 10 years old allowed though. They also do an hour long sunset ride over the dunes and along the beach occasionally too and the cost of that is $80 adult and $50 child.
@happypat There are lots of camel rides in Australia. The camels were introduced in the 1800s to be used as transport and heavy duty work when they were building the railways in the outback. There are now about 750,000 feral camels roaming the outback in Australia.
I have a very similar photo that I am going to post. I am just downloading my photos now. I filled my memory card over the weekend. Lots of photos to process now.
