If it were not for a little stand-off between two Alice Springs Lion’s members, Australians would have forever been deprived of what has come to be known as the
Voyages Camel Cup. Held each July at the Blaterskite Park, it still retains the zing of the very first Camel Cup, organized by the Alice Springs Lion Club. Contrary to popular belief, camels can run at astounding speeds and that’s exactly what people come from far and wide to see. And it’s all in good faith when some of these cud-chewing, droopy-eyed mammals just stand at the start line and refuse to budge.
To start with, Australia was never a natural home to camels. From 1840 onwards, they were imported for nearly half a decade from Canary Islands. Now, Australia has more than 750,000 of them, not only making it home to the largest camel population anywhere in the world but also the only camel exporting country.
