Why one couple, two kids and 10 camels are trekking almost 6,000km through the Australian outback
Briefly

Emily Parrott made her first Valentine's Day special by gifting her husband, Luke, a camel, which began their journey into the world of camel racing and ranching. Nearly 15 years later, they manage Oakfield Ranch in New South Wales and organize camel rides along the beautiful beaches of Port Stephens. Their upcoming adventure involves a 6,000 km round-trip for the Desert Champions Way: Outback Camel Trail, celebrating camel culture through racing, music, and markets across Queensland. This event honors the legacy of cameleers in Australia since the gold rush period.
"As long as I don't ask which one comes first, then we don't have a problem." This light-hearted comment underscores the Parrotts' deep bond with both each other and their camels.
"Parrott, who has been around camels since she was a baby and began racing at 14, can get the animals running up to 45km/h." This highlights Emily's lifelong passion and expertise in camel racing.
"The trail is a celebration of the outback spirit and pays tribute to the history of cameleers." This statement emphasizes the cultural significance of the camel races across Australia.
