Forget Adelaide by train .. try Perth !!
After two nights .. yes two on the Indian Pacific Railroad we have arrived in Perth. Its a few degrees hotter than Melbourne and Adelaide but first day it rained. We plan to stay a few days then rent a camper to visit the Margaret River area (pictures to follow shortly).
there is nothing but sand for miles until this and its the longest straight line of rail track in the world.
this airstrip is for emergency use ... not sure what .. its looked after by two people year round !
