The Nasty Camels of Aussie

Hi Everyone!

We are now down to the last two months in Australia and it is flying by. With lots of exams and papers coming up we don't have any exciting adventures planned until the end, but I will keep you posted on anything slightly interesting that is happening!

Last weekend my two roommates, Emily Courtney, and two of courtney's friends went on a road trip to Port Stephens. We rented a car and headed up there for the day. After the nauseating car ride, we finally arrives to lots of ocean, and huge sand dunes, and even some camels.

The entire draw to Port Stephens is sand boarding on the sand dunes. You sandboard by getting a snowboard looking thing, but unfortunately it is too dangerous to stand, so we had to sit. But being the daredevils we were we went to an unmonitored sand dune that was much higher than the one that the company was watching.

Here is a cool video!


We also met some of the nastiest camels I have ever met. Some were even mussled from how much they sit. And the trainer kept warning up that camels kick.

See? TERRIFYING
During this photo the trainer was warning me about getting
kicked and I was slowly trying to move away

Overall it was a super fun day, and although we chased the sunset and missed it, it was a fun adventure!!


Till the next aussie adventure...

xoxo, 

Christine
