Uluru Camel Tours invited us out to ride camels infront of the great rock. I was assigned Conner, a true character to be sure!
Whilst some consider camels a pest, I love all animals and have new appreciation for these beautiful beasts, thanks in no small part to the devotion, professionalism and passion of Chris, Kel, Roscoe and the crew, who are an impressive outfit to say the least. If you’re ever at Uluru, please do visit them and say hi from me! They’ll look after you an absolute treat. We all became pretty tight-knit, as you can see below.
Meeting Michael from the Wakagetti Cultural Dancers led me to meet Justin Majid, a beatiful and quietly-spoken young man from the Torres Strait Islands.
Just before we left he presented me with a beautiful work of his, titled Kazi Koedal (Baby Crocodile). Between November and March is crocodile breeding season. The mother crocodile lays her eggs in small mounds along the banks of the Torres Strait Islands. She will guard her young until they hatch and venture into this world. In this work the baby crocodile is coming out of its egg to start life in this world. The design within the egg shows the habitat where it will grow up for the next few months, avoiding predators and catching it’s prey. It’s an amazing piece and we’re going to auction it off for the cause. Bidding starts at 1000 dollars. Serious bids only please, to samuel@loveyoursister.org!
And finally, a MASSIVE thanks to Megan, for sorting us out with all this and more in one of the most significant places in the world. Nothing was too much and the team here at LYS feel so well looked after, it’s just not funny. Megan, you are an absolute champ and we thank you with all our heart. In Megan we trust!!!
