Summary

Camel caravan passing through a cattle property in the MacDonnell Ranges. A researcher has suggested that the Camel Train was passing through the Alice Springs Telegraph Station, Northern Territory, with picnic grounds the the right, and station builders on the far left. Between 1899 to 1908 camel trains arrived once a year with supplies, and could carry up to 250 kg.
