The famous Boulia Camel Races held annually every third weekend in July, attracts people from all over the world to the township of Boulia. It is not unusual for the small population of 300 to swell to 3,000 for the three day carnival.
Friday evening kickstarts the weekend with live entertainment till late, the racing action starts in earnest on Saturday morning for all the heats and there is plenty of trackside entertainment to keep you occupied. Saturday night comes alive with food and dancing till late and a fireworks spectacular that has to be seen to be believed.
Jockeys and camels combine once more on the track for the finals Sunday morning and race to the finish line for the prestigious Boulia Camel Cup.
