Sunday morning downunder in Melbourne (we've been set free after 8 months) and here you are (a month ago) enjoying a great rail trip with your dad in the wildest part of your country before your second lockdown. Really looking forward to next week with the polar bears. Loved that you shared the train trip with a couple originally from my part of the world (Aussie accent noticed). They must be real adventurers too. And Britney at 4 in the morning!! She really lightened up the trip - what a great advertisement for ViaRail she is! You were blessed to see the northern lights. The southern equivalent turned up in Tasmania earlier this year. Glad that your dad took the opportunity to share this experience with you. I'm sure he was pleased to tick this adventure off the bucket list before it becomes too difficult to travel in adventure style. Now the next prompt from KZbin is to check out Pannier P's clip celebrating Puffing Billy's return to the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne yesterday, Saturday 28th November. (Pannier P is a young railfan friend and has really taken to KZbin - he's half your age, Michael!) Looking forward to the Polar Bears next week. Stay safe!
