Australia by Train


I was warned!

DH likes Long distance Train Travel and we are kicking this one Off the Bucket List!

XPT Overnight to Sydney.


DIY Breakfast arrived at 6:30 am
Luggage stowed at the Train Station by 8:00am

And by 10:00 we were desperately seeking Coffee at the end of the Tram line - because nothing was open on a Sunday Morning!

Back in Town we wandered around The Rocks Market doing some Christmas Shopping while we were there.

Also in Town was the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship Which attracted plenty of attention as it dwarfed the Harbour Bridge.


No time to get too Lost down at Circular Quay we were back on the XPT this time Overnight 
Sydney to Brisbane.

This Old Girl sure needs some Love and attention.

If this is First Class - I shudder to think what the "Cheap Seats" were like!

What we were paying for was a lockable door a Loo (shared with next door) and bunks - although extremely hard - were a place to lay down for the overnight trip.

There was an evening meal and Breakfast before arriving in Brisbane at an unearthly 4:00 am

(Obviously Stowaway Frog was not impressed with the Early Morning.)

I promise - the next Train will be Better!
