A 65-year-old man who has spent the last 10 years travelling outback Australian roads with his two camels pulling a ute says getting older is not hindering his plans.

Klaus Menzel has spent the last 20 years travelling the country - firstly on a bicycle and now with his camels Willy and Snowy.

He is currently travelling between Longreach and Winton in western Queensland, with his camels pulling an old ute about 20 kilometres a day.

Mr Menzel, with his camel Willy, says he is often stopped by curious motorists to share his story. ( ABC News: Chrissy Arthur )

"It is a good place to be - nobody tells you what to do," he said.

"For me, it is freedom - I hope I can still do it in 20 years' time.

"Now I am 65, I can just put everything in into what I'm doing now.

"I think the older you get, the more you can up the ante a little bit."

Mr Menzel says he is often stopped by curious motorists to share his story.

"Willy here behind me - he pulls it," he said.

"The other one - he's only coming for a walk.

"He's good-looking like me but doesn't like work.

"Snowy is pretty hopeless - it's a nice animal, but he's pretty hopeless.

"I started in 1994 on a bicycle from the Barossa Valley and then I cycled for the first 10 years."
