Take to the Outback by camel on your next locum tenens assignment and explore the endless expanse of red rock and desert. In the heart of Australia is Alice Springs, a beautiful region that is wildly popular for camel safari adventures.
Though, camels aren't Oz natives, they were first imported from the Canary Islands in the 1840s. Settlers pioneering the region used them as draft and riding animals because they could withstand the extreme climate better than other wildlife.
Now, dozens of companies in Alice Springs and the surrounding regions have started their own riding tour excursions for residents and tourists alike. Rides as short as 10 minutes and as long as three weeks are available through programs including Frontier Camel Tours, Explore the Outback Camel Safaris and more.
When you're on your camel-back adventure, watch for for authentic Aboriginal art, fellow cameleers and the beautiful desert vistas surrounding you.
