‘High-strung’ camels race in Australian outback

MARREE, Australia: Camels with “a bit of fire in them” raced in a remote Australian outback town this weekend at an annual event celebrating the desert beasts first imported in the mid-19th century. Hundreds of spectators descended on Marree, which has a population of 65 and lies nearly 600 kilometers (370 miles) north of the South Australian capital Adelaide, for a 13-race spectacle on Saturday known as the Marree Camel Cup.
