A. M. Hopewell Collection
Camels & Cameleers
By the time Alice arrived at Hergott, it was a well extablished base for camels and their handlers (or cameleers).
They are shown here working and being prepared for work.
According to Herb Tilmouth, six to eight camels were generally used when "going up to town" and twelve were used "on the road".
Unless otherwise stated, most of these photo's were probably taken at Hergott Springs sometime around 1911-1916.
