Camel Folk

A couple of new faces of people who I have come into contact in my time here. On the left is Sue and her husband Taffy. Now they’re also Aussies. I call them third generation GR’s. We were the first ANZACs at the Grand Regency and then Murph, Old Barry, Keren and Rick came along. On the night of Murphs farewell dinner at the GR Mazen brought Sue and Taff over to our table as they had recently arrived in Doha and knew no one. So just as we helped the second generation get settled we have helped these two get sorted. Now These guys are lovely people and Taff has an interesting job here. He sisthe camel vet to the heir apparent. Sue and Taff used to live in Alice Springs where he was a camel vet. They moved to Cairns and he had been practicing normal vetting I suppose. He was approached to take on this job. They are building him a brand new vet clinic out in the dessert and so I’m hoping once he is sorted we’ll get an up close and personal look at the operation. He will be looking after the racing camels. They’re in the Grand Regency and are soon to move into a nice villa.
