When early explorers turned their attention to Australia's arid inland, the weaknesses of horse-based expeditions soon became obvious and the camel became the transport of choice for desert travel. Later, the development of central Australia depended almost entirely on the camel and their Afghan masters for transport and communications. Likewise in the 1970s, safari operator Rex Ellis also recognised the advantage camels have over the four-wheel-drives of today - allowing self-sufficient parties to get off the beaten tacks and traverse some of the most remote areas on earth. Indeed, some of Rex's safaris have taken him to places where no European Australians have been. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Travel & Places; ISBN: 0864179081. ISBN/EAN: 9780864179081.
