Description
On completion of the early morning training run camels are washed with fresh water, particulary between the legs where sweat and sand can hang.
A majestic feral camel is captured in profile in the foreground while another sitting camel is behind. The red soil and scrubby salt bush plains of the outback make for a dramatic setting for these wild animals.,
