Camel rides

About half of our students choose to pay $5 to ride a camel.

Seemed like a good price compared to many other things. It was a real blast for many of them.

End of a great Adventure in the Outback

This marks the end of the tour we did with The Rock Tour people: . . guides Dom and Craig.

They are highly recommended.
