We awoke early today for the Camel Treks Australia TV debut. Channel 7 were on location just after 8 am to interview Karen and take footage of the camels and riders. Alan, Cheryl and myself also made our TV debut.
I chose to ride Millie as she appeared to be docile, not so, something was upsetting her, I don't think it was me. But apparently I looked quite panic stricken when she sat down mid stride giving me somewhat of a bucking bronco experience.
I neglected to mention that last night we were joined by Pete Dobré celebrated photographer, who was engaged to taking photos/video for the Camel Treks Australia website. Pete also doubled as taxi driver to pick up 4 our our treking guests Rachel, Lucy, Stella and Lisa New Zealanders from Hawker. Liz and Sophie from NSW arrived in their own vehicle.
BBQ Nite - Dinner Menu:
- Home Made Beef Patties
- Marinaded Chicken
- Coal Roasted Potatoes
- Fried Onions
- Pear, Beetroot and Almond Salad with tangy dressing
- Carrot and Raisin Salad

Fellow Cameleer Sara and her friend Ebony, helped with the food preparation and took charge lighting the fire. The beef patties were made in true "rocks and sand" style, as the bread crumbs specifically purchased were now out at Mayo's Hut!
Dinner was a leisurely affair, conversations started, stories and laughter shared, friendships forged. Everyone rolled into bed early with full bellies bubbling with anticipation of tomorrows trek. I am planning breakfast!

"Rocks and Sand" the style of cooking I am renowned for i.e. made up out of my head.
From "have you got rocks in your head" "yes and sand too"!,
Actually it was an affectionate jibe some 20 years ago, adopted by my children who would beg me to make rocks and sand meals.
I find it hard to follow a recipe, but am practicing!
Yum, yum and more yum! With a menu like that, who needs camels? Seriously, that's better than our home meals, Susan!
