Uluru Camel Tours




Earlier this year I wrote about my time at Uluru and the culture of the aborigine I grew to understand. I wrote posts about the dreamtime, song lines, dances, and weaponry. What I did not write about was CAMELS! As soon as Kerry batted her long eye lashes at me and ate bread from my palm I fell in love with camels. Kerry was the baby camel at Uluru Camel Tours when I was there in December. She is beautiful and I though we had become very close when I fed her bread, but as soon as she swallowed she was done batting her eyes at me. Oh well! My love for camels did not die. As the sun still hid behind Uluru my mom and I climbed upon our camel for the morning and rode off with five other camels into the sunrise. As we made it deep into the dessert the sun began to rise and wow, was it a spectacular sunrise. To my left was Kata T’juta and to my right was Uluru. The sky was a gradient of yellow to blue, scattered with puffy clouds. It was breathtaking. The experience I had with Kerry and the sunrise were amazing, but what tied it all together was the comedian who led our tour. Once a horse rancher, he now lives in the middle of the desert rounding up wild camels with the rest of the Uluru Camel Tours staff.

Hamilton Island Golf Club



Another must see around Hamilton Island is the Hamilton Island Golf Club. The golf club is actually an island of its own. On the island is an 18-hole golf course and clubhouse. They have a private boat that takes visitors to and from the island. My mom and I love to play golf but did not have time to play this course, unfortunately. However, the public is welcome to make a reservation and dine at the golf club and have a golf cart tour of the course. For more information on the Hamilton Island Golf Club please click here.
