Phil GeePhilip Gee

Philip is one of Australia's most experienced camelmen. He has a lifetime of experience with hundreds of trained camels to his credit and over 30,000 kilometres of desert trekking experience. Using trust-training techniques Philip puts his immense experience to work with spectacular results.


This workshop is designed to give you an invaluable insight into the intricacies of camel training and camel management, and optionally, to provide you with a valuable and well-inducted camel to take home.

All too often, prospective camel buyers are confronted with purchase options with a questionable pedigree and history, and almost invariably the result is a compromise from what was initially desired and a subsequent lack of confidence in the process and the emerging camel industry.

The Year 2007 Forum takes away much of this uncertainty. You will be given a camel, which has been carefully bred and cared for in an ideal environment (or captured from the wild). This camel will not have been chased for miles by motorbikes, or jumped onto out of a helicopter, or roped and thrown from a four-wheel drive vehicle before it gets to you. Nor will it be inbred or a reject rogue that no one wants. You will be provided with an unruffled, curious, healthy and untouched camel, aged between 2-5 years, which has not lost its fragile and natural desire to trust. The results from a start such as this are overwhelmingly superior.

The 7-day program is focused on trust training where a trusting and cooperative relationship is built between animal and handler. This process is simple and once completed you will understand the key principles that govern a camel's behaviour and adapt your own actions to take this powerful new knowledge into account.

This course is a must for pending camel owners and invaluable for existing owners seeking to understand camel training for the first time.
