Exploring the red centre

The goal was to reach Uluru , to see the Ayers Rocks, to feel the outback, the bush and the desert !
Here we go ! The first stop was for a camel farm.
The plan was around 1839 to install a telegraphic line beetween Victoria , New South Walles and London but how to make it cross the country ? Pionners were offered good monney to risk their life to go and see what the centre had to offer and if it was feasable . They quiclky saw that without water their horses were as themselves dying !!! so the first camel was imported from the Canaries Islands in 1840 as a first and in 1860 , 24 more camels were send here from Afhganisthan ready to cross the continent from south to north sous la direction de Burke et Willis . En 1895 on en comptait déjà 5000. Quite happy here, feeding on eucalyptus and acacias, adapted to the heat and well abble to stand days without water . And thanks to them, the line could be installed , a simple wire of galvanised iron on 40000 poles between Adelaïde and Darwin . The train followed . Thefamous Ghan ( in memeory of the afghan camels) . The camel were released in the wild .Australia is the only country were you can see wild camels flocks along the dry prairy . To day some are captured and sold back to the Middle East to bring their cheptel some new blood and some are domesticated again in camel farms where you are offered to enjoy a tour on their back ! So we stopped at Fullerton farm where I could see this baby one . Thought it looked like a big lamb . There you could enjoy a peaceful ride . But Ann decided she would prefer a Chrome Saddle and so we did keep our money for an Harley Ride instead !!
By now we all had realised what a pleague the flies would be and everyone in the bus got a flie's net .
