IN THE first installment of this week’s Dees in Darwin series, watch former high flyer and DeeTV star Russell ‘Robbo’ Robertson attend the Camel Cup – a much-loved annual event in Alice Springs.

The Camel Cup, which started in 1970, is “truly a Northern Territory experience” says Robbo.  

“I’ve had an absolute ball at the Camel Cup in Alice Springs,” he tells Dee TV.

“It’s been wonderful [seeing] so many people enjoying themselves.”

Watch Robbo ride a camel and find out which Melbourne player he names his camel after?

And where does Robbo unwind at the end of the day?
