Gallery: Camel trek in the Simpson Desert
Cameleer Andrew Harper has been exploring Australia’s deserts for more than 20 years. His adventures have included a solo crossing of the continent, and amount to a distance of 20,000km+. Some expeditions were completed solo, others with fellow explorers, but all with his camels. Australian Geographic joined Andrew and the Australian Desert Expeditions crew – 17 camels, three cameleers, four scientists and 11 trekkers – on their Great White Lakes survey in the Simpson Desert. This was the sixth of seven treks held in 2014, all aimed at studying the ecology of the southern Simpson Desert. Taking slightly different routes, all passed along the 138th meridian, from about 3km north of Kallakoopah Creek, SA, to the Qld border. Carefully combing clay pans and climbing dunes, the camel train spent more than five months in the Simpson, on what turned out to be a unique journey of discovery.

GALLERY: Drone images show a new view of Sydney
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a DSLR camera mounted on a drone. Veteran AG photographer Andrew Gregory has taken rare photos of normally inaccessible views of Sydney Harbour using drone technology. Drones or Remote-Piloted Aircraft (RPA) were originally designed for military operations and navigation but are now providing photographers with unique angles and never-before-seen birds-eye views.
