Colour image of a camel train crossing a sparsely shrubbed plain

Under a big cloudy sky, Cameleer Kurt Posel leads his camel train across rocky, sparsely shrubbed, red soiled open country near Simpsons Gap (Rungutjirpa) in the West MacDonnell Ranges. This colour image was shot in the Northern Territory, while filming Australian Wildlife Series: Camel 1975: Although not a biological study of this notable contributor to Australia's history, this film corrects some of the popular misconceptions about the camel and its habitat. In addition to showing camels in their rough and risky Australian environment, the film includes the people who work with camels in the Australian outback
