If you come off the Camel you still have to take it around
the course, so they do not learn that it also goes the
other direction. They have to go around once.

Some of the riders looked more tired after the race
than the Camel itself.

The Imparja and Sponsor Tent - looking like being in the
Middle East. By the way Imparja is the biggest
independent TV Channel servicing most of the Outback
and the NT.

Obviously we also had the Miss and Mister Camel Cup
competition and besides the CEO of Imparja also
Pauline Hanson was the judge. This name will not mean
a lot to non-Aussies. A right winger politician changed
to a celebrity in Australia. The funniest was that the
competition was answering local Red Centre questions
and for the women to make a noise like the Camels and
for the guys walk like a Camel. A Swedish girl and an
English guy won the competition and Pauline I think
embarrassed herself again and again, but people seem
to like her here.

After the race - the foam is real....
Some people look stressed after the race or when the
Camel just walks a little faster rather than racing.
