This is a bit of an elegaic painting as the Ross Highway Frontier Camel Camel Farm just east of Alice Springs no longer exists. It was my first local camel 'hang out', where I would go on a weekend afternoon to draw the camels, watch them, the cameleers and the visiting tourists and generally enjoy the ambience of working camel farm. In this image I wanted to get a sense of the different personalities of these working camels, both the proud fellow in the middle, waiting for his next passenger to the purple-haltered chap in the front more interested in a feed.
