The Sydney Experience
Sydney (23rd March - 3rd April) We were very lucky on the trains from Melbourne to Sydney, both times we managed to get four seats, meaning we could turn them into beds for a more comfortable sleep. We arrived at Central Station Sydney around 10am Sunday morning, Lucy's uncle Jim & Muriel were there to greet us. (Having not seen my uncle for at least 15 years it was amusing walking up the station smiling…

Into the Heart of Australia
We successfully made it to Alice Springs this morning. The journey on The Legendary Ghan was great experience... fantastic scenes on the way to the Heart of Central Australia! Including three bouncing kangaroos and the "famous" Iron Man statue. We had a bit of an uncomfortable sleep last night though, someone in our carrage was a bit on the smelly side... and being typically English, we went to the lounge cart, and so did every…
Across the Nullarbor: Surviving the Indian-Pacific
After a very late night of farewell drinks and barbie we woke up slightly hung-over, having to finish off packing before Tamir & Narissa took us to East Perth Train Station. Big Thanks! Much to our surprise the check-in process was more like an airport, we even had to put our backpacks through... so we had to quickly sort out our clothes, as we thought we'd be able to access them on the train. Tina &…
