FERAL CAMELS STAND IN FRONT OF THE OLGAS IN CENTRAL AUSTRALIA
Two feral camels stand in front of a group of rock monoliths known as The Olgas, about 380 kilometres (240 miles) south west of the central Australian town of Alice Springs April 20, 2004. The Olgas, known by local Aboriginals as Kata Tjuta, lie within sight of Australias famous monolith Uluru (Ayers Rock), and both are considered sacred sites by their Aboriginal owners.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Tim Wimborne, two feral camels stand proudly in front of the majestic rock monoliths known as The Olgas in central Australia. Located approximately 380 kilometers southwest of Alice Springs, these ancient formations hold a significant place in the heart of the Australian outback. The Olgas, also referred to as Kata Tjuta by local Aboriginals, share their sacred grounds with another iconic landmark - Uluru (Ayers Rock). Both sites are deeply revered and cherished by their Aboriginal owners for their cultural and spiritual significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a land where nature's grandeur meets the untamed spirit of wild camels. The contrast between the rugged beauty of The Olgas and the resilient presence of these feral creatures creates a powerful visual narrative. The stoic posture of the camels against the backdrop of towering monoliths evokes a sense of harmony between man-made structures and Mother Nature's creations. It reminds us that even amidst vast landscapes seemingly untouched by human hands, traces of humanity can still be found. Tim Wimborne skillfully captures this moment in time, inviting us to reflect on our connection with nature and our responsibility towards preserving its wonders. This print serves as a testament to both Australia's natural splendor and its rich indigenous heritage that continues to thrive within these sacred lands.
