  • Our Journey to Cairns by Train May-June 2006
    Our Journey to Cairns by Train May-June 2006 Our Cairns Journey by train 2006 page 1 of 17 Forward Ever since I retired and was eligible to receive the Queensland Governments free Q. Rail passes Marie wanted us to use them. Being a Tasmanian I don't like hot weather and said I would travel no further north than Bundaberg. So I finally relented and so we used our passes, paid some money to travel in a bed sitting cabin. We did this on the Indian Pacific from Kalgoorlie to Sydney in 2002. I loved it but Marie did not enjoy it very much. Our journey to Cairns and return was a very enjoyable part of the Journey but not as well appointed as the Indian Pacific. It certainly is a relaxed way to traveller. Also because I didn't want to do a lot of car driving we rented a car for only four days. I have entered the KM travelled that day in our rental car and the outside temperature at about 7am that morning. I always carry a temperature gauge on our journies. Prices for entry and tours at places I show as each and are pensioner/senior prices where possible. In this book I have inserted some plastic sleeves which contain brochures and the like. Technical details I produced this book using OpenOffice.org (OOo) on my PC11 2.4GHz PC using both GNU/Linux and MS W98 operating systems. Most of the photos were taken with my Nikon E4100 digital camera and a few with a film camera which I scanned with my Canon FB 630P flat bed scanner.
