Eleven men pose with seven kneeling camels in front of a bush camp. In the foreground, two large round water carriers rest on the ground.
Camels were used for transport of people and supplies: they could eat native vegetation, went days without water and could carry substantial loads over harsh terrains. Note the water carriers in the foreground.
