The Great Southern

Last Year, The Great Southern Train Journey ended in Brisbane. 
This time we are doing the Return Trip.  

Deciding it was better to keep moving, we arrived at Historic Hanworth House on the 1st Bus from the CBD - So we were a bit early and had the opportunity to watch the Crew Set up for the Morning Check-in.

We enjoyed a beautiful 2nd - no 3rd Breakfast for the day on the Lawns while waiting for all our fellow travellers to arrive.

And were welcomed and given a Brief History of the Property by the Incredible, current owner, Ms Maria Vecchio AM.


After which we were bussed to the Acacia Ridge Freight Terminal where we connected with the Train. 
Comprising 28 Carriages at an average length of 711 m, she is way too big for the City Rail Stations.

Let the Journey Begin...

It would seem that all we do on board is Eat -  Meals on Board are very much a part of the Journey Beyond experience.

This is the Lunch Menu - and it will be different tomorrow!


It kept us busy for some of the 8 hour trip to Coffs Harbour which was our Destination for an Evening Dinner by the Sea.

And who wouldn't love to have dinner just meters from THIS beautiful View?

Tomorrow we wake to a new City and a New Adventure.
