Ep. 807: Update - Walking Across Australia With Five Wild Camels - Sophie Matterson

Ep. 807: Update - Walking Across Australia With Five Wild Camels - Sophie Matterson

We first caught up with Sophie early last year on episode 695 to hear about the first half of this epic adventure. Today we hear the second half.

How the adventure started:

After needing a break from her career in film and TV, Sophie took a very fortuitous turn in her life by finding the most random job she could, milking camels. If you didn’t realize camels could be milked, neither did I.

To make a long story short, Sophie fell in love with camels and never went back to her old career. Her ongoing 5 year passion for camels has taken her to places like The Flinders Ranges, Lake Eyre and The Tirari Desert, Uluru, Michigan USA, Texas and Rajasthan, India.

At some point in the pursuit to learn more about these amazing creatures, Sophie got the idea to cross Australia on foot while being accompanied by 5 wild (or “feral”) camels. This would not only entail catching and taming 5 out of upwards of a million wild camels that roam Australia, but also walking thousands of kilometers across the vast and void Australian Outback. Keep in mind, Australia is the geographic size of the US with 1/12th of the population.

Today Sophie joins us having just completed the journey in December. Jude, Delilah, Charlie, Clayton, and Mac all made it to the finish line in Byron Bay, NSW.
