Worimi Conservation Lands are the largest area of sand dunes in the southern hemisphere. The dunes are also known as Stockton Bight Sand Dunes.
At the north end is Birubi Beach and camel tours set off from the public car park. Here’s a map to show you where.
Here’s our merry crew aboard the ships of the desert, who don’t look too impressed at all.
Now I’ve been on a camel before so wasn’t scared, but the girls were nervous. When the camel stands up you do need to hold on tight.
We really enjoyed spending some time with the camels at Port Stephens, they were very calm and patient. 
A camel chewing the cud, or maybe having a chat to its mates.
Ours was just a 20 minute ride, far too short, we would have loved to wander off for a much longer trek into the dunes. These are available so we’ll have to do that next time.
Camel Rides operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year (weather permitting) and every day during NSW Public School holidays & Public Holidays. Camel rides do not operate on Christmas Eve & Christmas Day.
Most of the standard Camel Rides last for 20 minutes. You cannot book ahead for day rides. You can also do hour long Sunset Rides, text ahead to check availability and to book ahead.
At $30 for adults and $25 for children under 15, the 20 minute ride is not cheap, but a very unusual and interesting experience for riders.
