I love the color of those mountains. I think there are travel companies that supply camels to folks who want to hike the outback. I have old National Geo's and one was an article by a woman who did that.
Didn't know there were camels in Australia. You learn something new each day--or at least I do.
Right now making some chicken meals that I will freeze for later.I cook this way because I am only one person and not about to cook every night. Just use the microwave to heat up.
Despite the forces, live like it's Spring. It's summer feeling here. Other places have snow. Weird!
Yep, we woke up to about 1/2-1 inch of snow on the ground and a thin layer of ice on our driveway.......really? Have a safe day, elijah13, and enjoy your cooking today. Since there is two of us, my husband buys a family size package of chicken breasts, pork tenderloin, and other meats, bakes or cooks them on the little grill he has, freezes them, and then I take them out to defrost and heat up. Makes meals so much easier.

It's cold this morning, no snow! It's in the 60's this afternoon!

Well, elijah, at least we are supposed to be cooler tomorrow. Currently at 4pm the weather channel is saying we are 91 degrees with a "feels like" temp of 98! Way too hot for me.

I never knew that camels were in Australia either elijah13. I always thought they were just the middle east.

Some time ago we were scuba diving in a n.e. Florida river and found mammoth teeth and prehistoric camel jawbones.

It was 32 this mornign but sunny all day. Tonight we are due for some snow --not much tho, but a weather system will be coming in a day or so that will drop more. Ugh.

I was not aware that camels existed in Australia either. Maybe the English imported them to use as beasts of burden or transportation around the time the continent was a penal colony. I cooked and froze individual meals for work when I was single. Potatoes do not freeze well, though. They seem to become mealy.

That was my first thought as to why camels would be in Australia retirenow14. At least I wasn't the only one to think that.
Who knew???
Believe it or not, camels originally evolved in North America, from whence they spread to Cenozoic Eurasia (today, the only extant camels are found in the Middle East and central Asia) before going extinct in the land of their birth at the cusp of the modern era. The most notable prehistoric camel of Tennessee was Camelops, a seven-foot-tall megafauna mammal that roamed this state.
I did not know there were camels in Australia either elijah13. What a surprise! Pixipixil that book sounds very interesting. With the pandemic traveling by book is about the safest thing to do.
