Don't let the phrase permanent camp give you the wrong impression. While this wasn't primitive camping and we didn't need to pitch tents or dig latrines, this was our waterheater. When the fire goes out, you get a cold shower. |  Each tent had two cots. And the next morning I found mine also came with a scorpion. |
| An Aussie friend told me this was a mickey bird. I'd say it was more of a mooch. I stopped at the station store for a snack and this bird landed at my feet as soon as I crinkled the cellophane. |  |

| King's Creek Camel Station runs a kangaroo orphanage, providing a home to little roos whose mothers were killed on the road. Kangaroos make driving at night or at dusk a little more dangerous. |
