Traveltrain

Just arrived home from a 1200km long train trip. Took this photo at the Rockhampton Station
early this morning where we boarded the Tilt Train for a 7 hour journey home. Had a great break away with friends for a few days.

Thanks to all who left comments & messages during my absence. I will catch up over the next couple of days.

Ever since we stood in the station at Melbourne, I've wanted to take a long train trip across Australia!

Interesting posters there, I think the 'tilt' train is a neat name, does it really tilt? ;)

Great to see you back Laine! Glad the trip was enjoyable & you didn't
get sea-sick from the tilting! A fine & very interesting shot.
