🐪 Discover the Tirari Desert with Camel Treks Australia 🌿
Explore the lower Tirari Desert, a remarkable landscape where vast dunes meet unexpected wetlands. On our treks, you’ll have the chance to observe unique wildlife, like the Brolga, a wetland bird known for its elegant movements and striking appearance.
The Tirari Desert, part of the expansive northeastern South Australian desert system, sits on the eastern edge of Lake Eyre and includes sections of the Kati Thanda – Lake Eyre National Park. Its ecology showcases the remarkable adaptations of arid zone plants and animals, thriving in this unique and challenging environment.
Perhaps the sight of a Brolga nest carefully built among wetland vegetation, or the intricate patterns of life that emerge in arid zone ecosystems, will add a special highlight to your trek. Every journey offers a fresh perspective on the Australian outback.
Take a moment to step away from the ordinary and reconnect with the timeless beauty of the desert. Visit our website for more details.
🌏 Let the desert inspire you.

This year, we had the privilege of hosting Paul Cooper as a guest! Far from an ordinary visitor, Paul is a specialised Eco and Adventure Guide as well as an Instructor, Trainer, and Mentor for new guides through the Tasmanian Government. Having such expertise on our trek gave us the chance to be critiqued and receive valuable feedback—a true honour.
.
We hope to see Paul again soon (and might even try to steal him away from Tasmania!). Special thanks to Kale for filming and to our amazing crew— CTA Paul, Karen, Edward, Nicola, and Kale—for making this extended trek unforgettable.

Second attempt on the most previous post ... hopefully the full 5 minutes loads. Apologies for our technologically limited capacity!
If not we will post them on our YouTube Channel.
Camel Treks Australia is excited to introduce our newest camera operator... or should we say, Tucker 🐪 the camera-camel!
It seems our film project managers, Kale & Sol, are making “advanced payments” to Tucker in the form of apples 🍎. We have a feeling this sweet arrangement will keep Tucker eager to assist again!
.
The other young camels, Sapphire, Sweet-Lips, Ulysses and Arjun are stealing the spotlight too, and they’ve been enjoying Edward, Nicola, and Karen’s breakfast fruit supplies, courtesy of Kale & Sol 🤔
.
There’s definitely never a dull moment with camels, and when not abused or scared of people the degree of interaction & intelligence is similar to being with young children. They are awesome!

Head Cameleer Edward has trained these youngsters to deliver him beer 🍺 at 5pm!
.
And right on time. At least their little cooler bag can only hold two cans. Ed’s a responsible drinker.

Did you know? Emus are part of the ancient flightless bird group, ratites, along with cassowaries, ostriches, and rheas. Standing up to 190cm tall and weighing 55kg, they’re the second-largest bird after the ostrich.
.
Their shaggy grey-brown plumage hides 20cm vestigial wings, but despite being flightless, emus can sprint at 50kph, with strides up to 3 metres! The name “Dromaius” comes from the Greek word for “racer.”
.
Males take on paternal care, incubating eggs for 55 days without eating, drinking, or leaving the nest, losing up to 8kg. He stays with the chicks for two years, teaching them to forage. Emus are omnivores, eating everything from seeds to insects, and can walk up to 25km a day in search of food. During breeding season, they make booming calls heard up to 2km away!

Kale is excited to join bushwalkers on our next trek … get ready for even more lizard sightings! 🦎
And his brother Sol returns. It’s like the Leyland Brothers have been reincarnated!
Our guests have loved watching Kale’s stealthy and gentle lizard-catching skills, giving them a chance to truly appreciate the intricate patterns of these incredible creatures.
Thanks for sharing this young Sand Goanna, Kale! 🐪

Led by Head Cameleer Edward the camels traversed a sand dune ridge in the Tirari Desert for a film - photoshoot with and for the South Australian Tourism Commission ( S.A.T.C ).
.
The S.A.T.C photographers will undoubtedly have captured some fantastic images with skill and far superior cameras. We’re looking forward to seeing the outcome and sharing them with you.

Cameleer Kale in his element ... Australia’s next Harry Butler / Les Hiddins and firmly following in his grandfather Rex Ellis’s naturalist footsteps.
.
Well done Kale for sharing nature versus virtual links!
.
Two more treks remain for 2024. What will Kale find next?
