A camel train stops for a rest on red dirt road in the outback

Under a big cloudy sky, Cameleer Kurt Posel and his camel train stop for a rest on the red dirt road near Simpsons Gap (Rungutjirpa) in the West MacDonnell Ranges. In the foreground is a profile portrait of the lead camel sitting or couching on its haunches. 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
