Contestants brave Boulia Camel Races to tag kicking beasts in outback Queensland
A record crowd flocks to outback Queensland to watch Joe Blows try and stick duct tape on feisty camels while avoiding their kicking legs.
Brave souls took their turn at racing towards a camel, sticking a piece of duct tape on its fur, then racing back to their starting position before returning to the camel to retrieve the tape and finally racing back to the judge to complete their run.
The unpredictable nature of camels and dexterous legs that can kick in any direction delivered a painful price for participants who were slow on their feet.
"My tactic was to try and get it in the front, slow it down and tag its front shoulder and, of course … try not to get kicked in the head," contestant Dylan said.
