    Thur March 29th - Long Train Running

    29 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    After a night of very 'Broken Sleep' 🛌 if at all 🛏 had an early start for the 'Broken Hill' off train excursion to Living Desert Sculpture Park before returning to the train for a breakfast of poached eggs and smoked salmon.

    Kangaroos, Wedge Tailed Eagles and Emus at every turn and possibly another Wombat but this one couldn't be sure time and habitat made it questionable.

    Reaching Adelaide at 3:15 in the afternoon we went by coach to the Coriole vinyard in the McLaren Vale for wine tasting 🥂and cheese🍪🧀 tasting too. Very nice.

    The off train excursion was finished with a lovely meal at The Star of Greece a very nice restaurant on the coast with a beautiful view of the beach and ocean at Port Willunga

    We returned to the train 🚂at 21:15 Departing for Perth shortly after.

    Fri 30th March - Night Train

    30 марта 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    A better nights sleep 🛌and rose to a beatiful sunrise🌅 over a vast landscape. An early breakfast - full English and our first sightings of the day of Kangaroos and Emus. An ever-changing landscape gave us more Emus until we arrived at Cook on the Nullarbor Plain for a short stretch of the legs whilst the train took on water. We also had to fend off the army of flies 🐝 that were waiting for us here.

    Treated ourselves to early afternoon reward for dealing with the flies. G&Ts .
    Then after continuing along the plain, no camel 🐫sightings 😕, and crossing yet another time zone 🕟we arrived at Rawlinna to enjoy an evening meal under the stars by the light of a full moon 🌕 at this sheep shearing station.

    Then a couple of night caps 🥂 and to bed. 🛌

    8 апреля 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Flight departs 2305 so a bit of a doldrum day ahead Happy and Sad. Looking forward 😀 to seeing Allen Pengelly trio 👨‍👩‍👧 but sad 😔 to be putting so much distance between us and Suzie🙎‍♀️.

    Turn up for the books thought today was going to be a long day. Last day of holiday departing at 2305 but been pretty damn good. With Christy Moore songs and Slightly Musical cover Wagon Wheel ringing in our ears from last refreshment stop in Perth.
    https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=125…
    Words/quote used in CM song also seen on our walk around Perth see pickles.

    Late morning enjoyed a tour of Perth Mint and found out what our weights in pure gold were........ priceless.... before setting off early afternoon for another tour off Perth' waterfront and city sights.
    https://www.perthmint.com

    First on our walk a refreshment stop at Barrack St Quay followed by Salt & Pepper Squid at the Oyster Bar and a glass of sav blanc.
    http://www.oysterbar.com.au/elizabeth-quay

    Then onto The Grosvenor for a bottle of wine and a pizza to fuel the journey home. It was here we bumped into a live band playing tunes mainly with an irish/folk feel before setting of for the airport and the trek home.
