My mate in OZ sent me thls.

Very good. An acquaintance of mine was telling me that there are camels in OZ. Sounds weird enough to be true. Have you ever seen any? R-

Yes there are. Ideal as the middle of Australia is desert.

Picture not taken by me.

Well, I never did. R-

Not the best picture is it after I’d said the centre was desert.

They were deported there in the 1700s as criminals. There crimes included spitting in public and always having the hump.

Very good Terry, you should be on the stage. There’s one leaving in 20 minutes

It's OK. I knew about the desert bit just not the camels. The person who told me was doing that train trip across the middle and said there was nothing to see except camels. I have to confess I was sure it was a wind up, but forgot about it until I saw your mates sign.

I've heard there are more camels in Australia than there are in Africa and Asia.
Anyone who can confirm or deny?

Domesticated Somalia, wild Australia. Slightly angry ones is anybody’s guess.
