Camel Safari through the Little Egypt Pyramids
It took 10,000 men 20 years to build the great Egyptian pyramids more than 4,500 years ago. Today, budding explorers who want to re-visit their glory need only bring their sense of adventure to Little Egypt at The Big Camel Tourist Park on the Capricorn Coast Yeppoon.
Let our camels take you back in time on a camel safari of discovery through the pyramids. On your exploring camel ride watch your surroundings transform into a pioneering Australian countryside of our camel farm. You'll re-live our proud history with billy tea and damper, take a walk through Richo's Outback Barn and the chance to strike it rich while fossicking for beautiful gem stones and sapphires.

Fossicking for Gem Stones and Sapphire
Once you have been riding the camels around the pyramids of Little Egypt in Yeppoon, you can try your luck and enjoy fossicking for gem stones and sapphires.
The sapphire bearing wash at The Big Camel Tourist Park has been brought in from the Central Queensland Gemfields off the Richardson brothers mine in from the sapphire and gem stone capital of Australia; The Central Highlands. John Richardson not only has a passion for camels he has been successful in gem mining in the gem fields where he grew up.
Experience the thrill of finding a sapphire or a gem stone at The Big Camel Tourist Park - we guarantee you will find a sapphire or gem stone that you can keep!
