Shar Jem Gypsy Camel Trek

We have a group of speakers this month led by Barry Watts, who some may recall was our scheduled speaker when world events obliged us to curtail our meetings.

Barry’s challenging Camel trek from Hermannsburg in central Australia to Taree was completed in October 2019. Barry had wanted to do something after retiring from his career as a nurse in the outback. He and his three teenage companions along with their camel team took on the trek in honour of Sharyn and Jemma (Shar Jem), mother and daughter lifelong friends of Barry’s who have both succumbed to cancer. The trek raised funds for World Vision along the way, as well as serving as a learning experience and life changing experience for Barry and the boys.

They will join us to share their story and some of their experiences with the camels, people, the environment and challenges they encountered along the way.
