'Bizarre' moment caravan family's outback stay gatecrashed by 'best buddies'
A family of five had two pairs of beady eyes watching over them the entire night during a recent stay at a remote campsite in the Australian outback. Krystelle Schneider, her partner and their three children, all from the Gold Coast, rolled into Silverton Outback Camels campground last week, situated just outside Broken Hill along the NSW and South Australia border. The family were busying themselves organising their camp, when all of a sudden something caught their attention. Two large birds strutted towards them. "This ostrich and emu just walked over like they were best buddies," Krystelle laughed, recalling the incident for Yahoo News. "They sat down and sat there the whole night, just watching us... we spent the night around the campfire with an ostrich and emu." Incredible footage captured by Krystelle shows the birds making themselves right at home around the family, sitting on the red dirt near the campfire as the outback expanded behind them. "There's absolutely nothing there... One other caravan was around the corner, but it's just bush. There's nothing there," she said. "It was a bit bizarre." The birds stayed close to the campsite overnight, with the family spending more than 10 hours with them. In the morning, Krystelle explained they were woken up by the ostrich pecking their washing off the clothesline. 😲 Families flock to remote campground in search of $10,000 treasure 💩 Aussies impressed by 'brilliant' camping solution when nature calls 👀 Camper's warning to Aussies after deadly discovery near tent Caravanners continue to be stunned by Australian wildlife It's not the first time Krystelle and her family have been stopped in their tracks after spotting the best of Australia's wildlife on their travels. They recently had a dingo "walk straight past us" while they made a pitstop along the Nullarbor. Yahoo News has reported on countless incredible encounters caravanners have had with wildlife during their treks through the country, such as the couple who spotted an "amazing" algae octopus underneath a piece of drift at Portland Roads near Queensland's Lockhart River, and the family who heard a "massive splash" only to spot a crocodile "literally 10 to 15 steps away from our caravan".
