  1. Rail way lines are closed in Australia as well. It was a very relaxing way to travel. We do have a few good rail ways that go right across our country, north to south and East to West.

    1. Dearest Kay,
      Oh, it sure used to be a very relaxing way of travel and we enjoyed riding this train to the Grand Canyon and back. You are lucky for still having some good north to south and east to west connections by rail in Australia!
