Yulara Camel Cup

I think the photos tell it all! Turns out our camel wasnt a donkey, it won 3rd place in the Plate!!We couldnt believe it, we were all going crazy cheering at the finish line, it was a scream! No prize money but the prestige and ribbon were enough for us! Still cant believe we owned a camel in the Yulara Camel Cup let alone won a place! Such a great day -aboriginal dancers, fashions on the field (the two little girls are the daughters of our new friends, their 3 year old came 3rd, she's so cute!) and the local scenic helicopter company were doing specials for the festival 'dash to the rock' so we took a flight as you do!! The kids even got to get in the back of the outback police wagon : ) after i asked if they could have a photo.
We were on too much of a high to go straight back to camp after the race so we went back to the scene of the crime (the pub) for dinner where the winner of the Cup taunted us -we didnt care!
