in may there're camel recing. This stared in 1971,when two friends decided to have a race on camals along the dry bed of the Todd River:Now the Camel Cup is a very big race and a lot of people come to watch. If you think they aren't enough camels in Australia for a camel race,Think again! The country has got about 150]000 wild camels. In the 19th century people used them for journeys when there weren't enough water for their horses. When railways and roads arrived,the camel weren't useful any more,but they survived very happily in Australia's central desert.
