    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on Sophie Matterson, who arrived to welcoming crowds in Byron Bay after walking 4600 kilometre with her five camel companions from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Byron Bay. It mentions that Sophie took a break in October 2020 when conditions in the arid desert regions of South Australia became too hot. It reveals that with the welfare of her camels a priority, she rested them in the Flinders Ranges for a few months.
