One of the highlights of our trip was the spectacular camel ride on Anna Bay beach by the sand dunes a few kilometers from Nelson Bay. The price per person was $20 AUD and well worth it. The 3 camels were owned by a local and his family and besides the camel ride by the beach, they informed us that they also do private functions for anyone who's interested.. They would drive the camels to your destination..

Anyway, about the camel ride.. The ride took us on the sand dunes and then to the beach and back to where we started from.. The ride took approximately 30 minutes.. The camels would extend their long necks and snack on the green bushes along the sand dunes.. A meal referred to as "McDonalds for the Camels" by the guide. The guide was a very nice bloke and entertained us with funny camel facts as we rode.. Highly recommended as it's a great experience for both kids and adults and the view just comes as a bonus
