We're really big fans of ‘Dr Google’ here at Australian Camels HQ. Out of curiosity and just to see 'what comes up' we decided to Google ‘Camel Saddles.' 99% of the search results were eBay listings for their ‘Decorative Egyptian Camel Saddle Stool,’ the type...
IT’S WORLD CAMEL DAY – yes an actual day dedicated to camels, how cool is that? It’s a really cool thing for us here at Camel Connection HQ – a whole day dedicated to the CAMEL, although if truth be told.... It's not much different to every other day (who's complaining)!
