Thank you so much for your lovely comment Samantha. I enjoy writing about characters like Sultan Aziz because it keeps their story alive and after hearing from you makes it all worth while. I hope your daughter’s assignment is a success and it’s great to hear about children developing a passion for history.

Thank you for providing so much information about such an intriguing character and the history of the shell carting from Shelly Beach to Portland. My husband and I took our two children to Cape Bridgewater recently for a few days, and we were all very interested in the history of the camels at Shelly Beach. My daughter is in year 5 at Apollo Bay this year and is writing interesting facts about Australia for homework each week, and she remembered our trip to Cape Bridgewater. She decided to write about the camels at Shelly Beach this week. Absolutely fascinating!
