About Russell Osborne

My photo
For ten years I had been planning a transcontinent expedition as a fundraiser for the Children First Foundation. My wife and I left Katherine April 2008 and arrived in Melbourne on the 22/11/09, walking over 6500 Km in total, taking in some of the harshest and remote areas of the planet. Currently, I am organising another Transcontinental Camel Expedition from Perth to Sydney, again for Moira Kelly's Children First Foundation. I work as a keynote Speaker, Ambassador for the Children First Foundation and operate Camel Safaris in South Australia on Beltana Station.

  1. This video shows more than the commentary.
    Very few have seen wild camels and their eating patterns. They are more browsers than graisers and when they do graise, grasses make up of only about eight percent of their diet. The rest is of herbage and plants classed by the pastoralists as woody weeds.
    For the pastoral industry, having a domestic herd of camels with the pastoral herd of cattle, has been proven to be of benefit in weed control and cattle meat production.
    When trekking on expedition, being confronted by a herd of wild camels adds a new level of awareness of place and surroundings.
    All senses are on high alert.
