TRAIN in OZ?
Train journeys are fantastic in Australia - you really get an
appreciation of how big the country really is. The train is expensive though - usually more than a flight. But if you've got the time and the money, definitely do it. Also is cheaper if you're a student or under 26. Go to http://www.gsr.com.au for info. I've done Adelaide to Sydney (my friend's dad works on the train and my mate and I got bumped up to FIRST CLASS - what an amazing experience) and Adelaide to Perth. That one took 3 days and 2 nights but was well worth it. Economy is a bit uncomfortable on that one as it is so long. I'd go for holiday class where you get a little cabin and fold out bunkbeds. |
