Australian Life: Stories about Life, Sports, and Experiences in Australia

^{Camel Racing
                One of my favorite sports is camel racing. I know that this is very big in places like Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, where it is hundreds of years old. However, it's also a popular sport here in Australia.  Many people don't even know that there are camels in Australia. However, there are around a million wild camels living here. Australia's first camel race was in 1910. Today, there are big camel racing competitions every year across Australia, with many visitors. First, the camels and their owners travel for weeks across the Australian desert to get to a camel festival. Wild camels walk more than 18 miles (30 kilometers) a day. They like to be active, and they love running.  The camel rider’s (the person on the horse) practice for a very long time before each race. Some riders spend time in places like the U.A.E. to learn how to work with racing camels. It's important that the riders really know and understand camels, because they are not like horses. Sometimes a camel will not move at the beginning of a race, or will stop in the middle of the race and run the wrong way.
                One of the most popular races is the Camel Cup Race.  It takes place in Alice Springs every year in July. Because camels can be difficult to ride, participants must have experience. Nearly 5,000 people come to watch the races.  Training a camel takes a long time because if it doesn't want to do something, then it will not. Camels are large animals and they can be dangerous. However, many riders believe that camels are smart animals, and that they can think. At the beginning of each race, a good rider will try to understand what the camel is thinking. The riders check where the camel is looking and try to guess what the camel will do next. The behavior of camels makes camel racing very fun . Visitors come to watch difficult races, and to share their love for these unique animals.}
