While Luke Campbell was looking for a job, a friend joked he should become a camel train driver. Now he can't imagine doing anything else.
Faced with a list of potential jobs in a Centrelink office nearly 30 years ago, a joke from a friend set Luke Campbell 's career path.
"I spend pretty minimal time on them, and then get on the road and do most of the training on the road," he said."We weren't too far away from Steep Point in Shark Bay, and we're walking all the way up to Broome to deliver some camels up there for the tourism operators," he said."I don't muster, and I don't use choppers, bikes, cars or anything like that," he said.
He is currently trekking alongside four male camels, known as bulls, which he said was out of the ordinary."You don't normally work bulls together. in fact, I think it's not many people that work bulls at all," he said.Despite their closeness, Mr Campbell said he was still careful to stay safe, especially at night, when he sleeps in a swag next to the camels.Sharing the journey
