21.01.2022 There are baby camels everywhere at Summer Land Camels. We have 40 born already! They are extremely cute and playful, just like any toddler :) The gestation period of a cow (female camel) is between 12 and 14 months, and they usually only have one baby. Did you know that our baby camels stay with their mums until they naturally wean? We can only milk the dairy camels when they are happy, relaxed and with baby.... Camels are fully mature when they are 7 years old. More fascinating #camelfacts

21.01.2022 When topically applied, coconut (cocus nucifera) oil, which is high in saturated fat, moisturises and prevents water loss from the skin. Its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties help treat skin conditions such as eczema, and help with wound healing. If that's not enough, coconut oil helps remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin look and feel smoother. And it smells amazing too! Perfectly blended with Camel Milk, you can find cocus nucifera in our Hand Cream.

21.01.2022 Every year on the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month Australians pause to remember those men and women who have died or suffered in all wars, conflicts and peace operations. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of WW2 and 102 years since the end of WW1. Many people don’t know about the significance of the contribution of the Imperial Camel Corps in WWI. The Imperial Camel Corps had been formed in 1916 and became part of the Desert Mounted Corp...s, commanded by Lieutenant General Henry Chauvel who had previously lived on the property near Harrisville where Summer Land Camels now exists. Chauvel was the first Australian officer to command a corps and he was also well-respected by the men. The ICC was an integral part of the British and allied forces in the areas of Sinai and Palestine. Camels were valued for their ability to travel further and carry more. As Australians were sent to Egypt and the British increased forces in the area, there was a lack of water to run horses as far as they needed them. Suddenly Australian soldiers who had enlisted to ride horses found themselves in the Imperial Camel Corps. The camels weren’t just used for transport and to carry food, water and fodder. Photos have been unearthed that show that the Imperial Camel Corps took fighting positions in the Battle of Beersheba. While the camels were effective in battle, it would seem that one main problem was if the soldier fell off. Unable to remount, from that point on were treated as infantry. The soldiers of both the Imperial Camel Corps and the Australian Light Horse Brigade were later praised by Brigadier-General Chaytor for the mounted rifle and light horse method of attack. Cavalry not only located and surrounded an opponent’s position, but also dismounted to fight with rifle and bayonet, something unheard of prior to the battles fought by the Australian Light Horsemen and Imperial Camel Corps. The Imperial Camel Corps made a significant contribution in many battles and engagements, including the Battle of Beersheba and the Battle of Magdhaba.

17.01.2022 Did you know? Camel fact myth buster time! Many believe that the camel stores water in their humps, but in fact it's fat The hump stores up to 35kg of fat which the camel can convert into water and energy. This enables them to travel great distances without food and water. ... #camelfact
