Tours

G’Day, I’m Rex!
Feral’s having a sleep, which is great because then the rest of us get to talk to you!

The Camel to B-B-Q dinner tour is fantastic.  The camel ride is for an hour. It’s great to hear everyone “oooh” and “aaah” as they ride amongst the bush and come arcoss a beautiful clearing in the middle of the bush land, with a gournet bush food b-b-q awaiting.   They catch a glimpse of the camp fire through the trees, as the sun sets.  The views over the Willochra Plain, as it turns from lavender to deep blue and the Milky Way lights up the night sky, are truely amazing – Outback Australia at it’s best! Reminds me of when I was just a little calf………

The very best part though, is watching everyone relax, with a glass of wine or a soft drink, because when they’re relaxed they wander over to us camels while the b-b-q is cooking, and it’s easy to get them to give me a cuddle while they’re there.  Check out the menu, it’s fantastic!

Please don’t tell anyone, it’s taken us camels years to build the aloof reputation that we have and if the world found out we all love to be cuddled we’d be laughed out of the animal kingdom….I’d better introduce Matilda before I give away too many of our secrets.

Hello, I’m Matilda, this is my friend Cody, he’s one of Graham and Jannene’s calves.  I don’t care who knows it – I love cuddles! I really don’t know which Tour is my favorite, I love them all. I just want to get out there, into the beautiful bush. I love the scent of the desert, blown in from the north on a summer’s day, it mingles with the perfume of the gum trees as we pass by and just makes me feel alive.

There are so many amazing things to see; from red-walled gorges to the great expanse of the Wilochra Plain. I love that I get to see all of my friends, the kangaroos, emus, wild goats, goannas and sometimes I even get to catch up with old Eddie, the echidna who lives over near that big escarpment we travel under, he’s really old and a bit paranoid but he makes me laugh as he waddles along bristling out all of his prickles and muttering to himself.

I love the Camel to Breakfast tour  because when we set off the sun is just beginning to rise, the colours are amazing, and then there’s a vast blue sky overhead.  By the time we get to breakfast, an hour later, I don’t want it to end.

I especially like the Ocean to Outback Tour.  It starts with a cruise on a fantastic boat called Champagne, then a camel ride and some gourmet bushfood and then a lovely walk to learn about some of the bushfood - it’s fantastic!

The Full day tour is completely different but fantastic too. We pass right underneath Devils Peak, looking up at its weatherbeaten face always reminds me of how ancient the Flinders Ranges are. Sometimes there are water pools in the creek beds where I get to say hello to some of my Australian animal friends when they come for a drink.

The Half Day Tour is great too. Click on the buttons underneath and you’ll find out more about each tour.  And you can either leave from Pichi Richi Camel Farm or from Adelaide.
