Stan 386 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Just setting off on the 1st leg(3000 km) of a round Australia rail journey( Adelaide to Darwin via Alice springs). Fly to Cairns then train to Brisbane,Sydney,Bowral(to visit mate from school(late Radford!),Melbourne,Adelaide,Perth.(have not calculated total distance yet). Had a little practice trip a month ago(Bangkok to Singapore via Penang). Train is a fantastic way to see the world! Next year for my 70th(!) my whole family(4 kids and partners)+ SHMBO,are traveling by train from Singapore to London.(the only bit that is now closed is the Cambodian leg ...will have to cover it by coach). I know there is a bit of a fight going on in Cambodia,with the Thai`s,but don`t think it is much worse than when we crossed through southern Thailand(bit interesting with all the armed police and soldiers on patrol through the train.) Final leg trans Canada Haifax to Vancouver. No more `nagging'about the NHS fof a while.All of you keep fit and well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,427 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 The trip through the Canadian Rockies is some of the most beautiful country in the world. Mind you, I suppose I am a bit biased. Enjoy!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
