Camels at Quamby Corner

April Underhill
ON SATURDAY 26 February, Kevin and Ditt Briggs played hosts to John Elliott and his camel train, Charlie, Ted, Jackson, Arthur and Bill the Bastard. John, the camels and Brusky the dog stayed the night at Quamby Corner (Tasmanian Trail campsite 4). John’s epic walk along the Tasmanian Trail, saw him stop off in Golden Valley before heading north. It’s usually hikers, cyclists and horse riders at Campsite 4, so this was a first! Along his trek, John is raising awareness of skin cancer, encouraging people to getting checked for melanoma. John’s efforts are part of the Beards for the Bush fund raising campaign for Beard Season. Beard Season is a charitable organisation dedicated to providing information and access to testing for the early detection of melanoma, especially in remote and rural parts of the country.
