AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION NEWSLETTER #49
CAMEL HUNTING IN AUSTRALIA
As you might have guessed, where there are TAME camels, you
can almost bet that there are WILD camels. So if you're
tired of betting on camels (See AJAEN #05), you can go to
Alice Springs and try to hunt one down and catch it. Now, hunting
camels in Australia is rather more easily talked about than
actually accomplished. To begin with , you have to FIND
the camels, and with only about 120,000 wild camels in the
almost 3,000,000 square miles of Australian desert, you end up
at best with only about ONE camel every 28 square miles or
so. To make things worse, wild camels tend to bunch up together
as far away from you as possible, since they don't want to
get caught and have to go act foolish in the Alice Springs Derby
each year, so the actual incidence of camels in most 28 square
mile areas is far lower than one camel. Still, you can't blame
a bloke for tryin', and if you insist on hunting camels, and you
actually manage to CATCH one, you can always ride him to dinner
at the Chateau Hornsby. Just don't drink too much beer while
you're there. Riding camels while intoxicated is a serious
traffic violation in Alice Springs...
