Australia, picspam the second!
Mar. 30th, 2014 03:02 pmIt took me a while to decide how to proceed with the presentation of my second week in Australia, but I finally figured it out. I'm saving the 333 photos from Sydney for later and will focus first on how I got there... Below is a selection of 42 photos from my trip on the Indian Pacific; a train that travels once a week* between Perth and Sydney. I'll start with a couple of maps so you can visualize the distance. Australia is HUGE, people! A big part of it is desert, as I discovered staring out the trainwindow for four days *grins*
( Come sit next to me? )
I'll try not to leave as much time until the next picspam... TBC!

P.S. *Twice a week from September to October. Some prices for those of you who are interested: a one way ticket in the cheap (Red) seats from Perth to Sydney (in either direction) costs 899 AU$, but I bought an international trainpass for 445 AU$ with which I could travel all over the Great Southern Railway! (At reservation you only have to pay a small fuel surcharge of about 20-30 AU$ per ticket, so an amazingly good deal for foreign travelers!) Off train tours are sold separately on the train. In comparison: Platinum seats are 3999 AU$. :-p
