John Arthur Elliott is a former successful business person from Perth, Australia, who gave up the 'High Life' to pursue a life of adventure, exploration and meaning. John is currently 18months into a multi-year trek around Australia (by camel), and has become both an experienced cameleer and lover of nature, but also a spark of joy for regional and remote communities alike. His camel train draws huge smiles wherever they go.
In part 1 of the Podcast, Mel, Josh and John chat about:
• Why did John decide to move on from his massively 'successful' business life, to become a cameleer?
• Why camels? And what was it like being a cameleer (and adventurer) in training?
• The historical impact of camels in Australia. Josh and Mel had no idea how important camels were to the history of regional and remote Australia.
• The Incident: 1 cameleer, 5 camels, the Jamieson River, and a Cliff Face.
