The area around Uluru and Kata Tjuta is beautiful and is not a desert, as I had thought. It is a semi-arid landscape and has supported an ancient and living culture from time immemorial.
One of the most enjoyable activities I took part in was a dinner in the bush, called The Sounds of Silence. My friend and I arrived in a mundane way, on a tour bus, so we were thrilled to see another group arriving...
on camels!
The leaders of all the tours we did gave us lots of information about the camels who roam free in the centre of this continent. Basically, they don't belong there, but some farmers are now turning from running cattle to herding camels. Apparently the camels here are remarkably disease-free compared to camels in other parts of the world and many are exported to The Middle East.
We were told again and again that one way to control the overpopulation of camels might be to use them for meat, so I was interested to see this packet of dog treats for sale here in Melbourne, at Murphy Brothers.
Penny thought the treats smelled rather good, and when I gave her some, she gobbled them up!

Wow - I have NEVER heard of camel treats before! Penny looks slightly suspicious in that photo - ha! ha! Glad to hear that she enjoyed them! :-)

I'm sure that many pups have never had camel treats before. Lucky you, Penny!
Love ya lots♥

Hsin-Yi, she wasn't suspicious once they were in her mouth, lol.
Mitch and Molly, I think the camel treats would be tasty and healthy. I hope so, anyway.
We think all treats are pawsome! Glad Penny liked her new treat!
Lassie and Benji, she likes ANY kind of treat!
