At one of our stops along the way, we learn of Bruce the Aussie-named donkey (ask any Monty Python fan). He was brought up with camels, and thinks he is one. (In the 19th century, Afghan-immigrant camel drivers were among the more intrepid folks living and working in the outback). Bruce thinks he’s a camel, and loves his family. A little too much, we’re told, as he is apparently a little too fond of the lady camels. If your sound is turned up you can hear him braying, although it’s nearly drowned out by the sound of the helicopter taking off in the background. We’re told that there are some 2 million wild camels these days, roaming the outback.

  1. Wwow, 2 million is a big number, but then the outback is a very big place. I wouldn’t think little Bruce would be much of an annoyance for those big animals but, “where there’s a will“….. As they say
