Tourists ride on camels belonging to Port Macquarie Camel Safaris alongside the Pacific
Tourists ride on a camel safari alongside the Pacific Ocean on Lighthouse Beach, north of Sydney, December 4, 2014. For 25 years camel rides offered by Port Macquarie Camel Safaris have given visitors to Australias holiday coast a rare experience available only in a handful of locations in the country. Australias long history with the ships of the desert goes back to the 1800s when they were imported from Afghanistan and India for use as transportation across Australias vast deserts before being released into the wild following their replacement by motorised transport.

In this photo print, tourists embark on an unforgettable adventure as they ride on camels belonging to Port Macquarie Camel Safaris along the stunning Pacific Ocean. The image captures a moment of pure bliss and awe as these lucky visitors experience a rare opportunity that can only be found in select locations across Australia's holiday coast. For over 25 years, Port Macquarie Camel Safaris has been offering camel rides, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in the country's rich history with these majestic creatures. Originating from Afghanistan and India in the 1800s, camels were initially imported for transportation purposes across Australia's vast deserts before being set free into the wild when motorized vehicles took over. Lighthouse Beach, situated north of Sydney, serves as the perfect backdrop for this extraordinary journey. As the waves crash against the shore and seagulls soar above, riders are treated to breathtaking views that will forever remain etched in their memories. This photograph not only showcases the beauty of nature but also highlights how humans can coexist harmoniously with animals. It reminds us of our responsibility to appreciate and preserve such unique experiences for future generations. Jason Reed skillfully captures this magical moment through his lens, inviting viewers to join these adventurous souls on their camel safari alongside one of Australia's most iconic coastlines.
