Supplies for stockmen

Supplies for stockmen
Copied (also PiP) from slides taken June 1971 on the Oodnadatta Track - see the notes with my previous image for more detail. Shortly after seeing the stockmen going out mustering, we were surprised to meet this camel-drawn wagon following with their supplies and camping gear. Camels had been used here extensively in the past in desert areas, but even in 1971 this was rare.

Noting that the driver is on a (very basic) bench, I'll wish everyone a Happy Bench Monday and a good week to follow.

Thank you, Judite. Yes, until the railway went to Alice Springs from Adelaide, transport to the centre was by camel trains led by "Afghans" brought in for the job. The train then became known as "The Ghan" (short for Afghan). Camels were used quite widely and, when motorisation came along many were released - with the result that Australia now has feral camels!

A rare find indeed George. I have seen documentaries showing camels in your dry regions before, even them being used for work. I like the PiP too. Well done.

Enjoy the day. Herb

That, however, looks more like in the Middle East or in Northern Africa...in contrast to what I had commented on the previous photo ;-) Yet, I discovered the bench :-))

HBM and have a great week, George!
