Where to Ride Camels in Port Stephens

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.

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.

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.
