Bell Queensland Camel Races

Most of these need no explaination... other than some of the locals did dress as Arabs!

It was mainly informal and fun. There was betting on the races but we did not win. They lead them down to the starting area and turn them around and let go.

The races would start when the first camel took off. In the one race, our camel was still facing the wrong way when the race started. We knew that we were in trouble!
