Back on the Spirit of the Outback, for the run back to Brisbane. This time I get to enjoy the journey without making notes - always a relief. It's rare to be doing something I'm not making notes about.
It's hard to depict this properly, but on this trip on the Spirit of the Outback I have a "twin sleeper" for my sole use. What they've done is remove the partitions between some single compartments to create "doubles" which couples can book. You each have a chair that folds down to a bed, thus sleeping foot-to-foot. :)
Here's a photo that might give you a rough idea of what it looks like - I'm sitting in one compartment and looking through to the other.
New at my Patreon... Here's my arrival by train at Longreach Station, a fine example of Queensland's long-distance rail terminals. I share a surprising fun fact about it too...
New at my Patreon... From Longreach in far west Queensland, I boarded a silver train on an excursion to the Darr River - with the perfect 'smoko' at the end:
Mad birds making mad sounds in the park opposite the Longreach train station. I wonder what kind of cockatoo these are – I can't see a sulphur crest. #Birds#Longreach
