Back on the Spirit of the Outback, for the run back to Brisbane. This time I get to enjoy the journey without making notes - always a relief. It's rare to be doing something I'm not making notes about.
@LifeTimeCooking strange, it seems that Ivory does not like the panorama photos from an iPhone. I've replaced it with something else and a different description.

New at my Patreon... Here's my arrival by train at Longreach Station, a fine example of Queensland's long-distance rail terminals. I share a surprising fun fact about it too...

@timrichards that's really cool. You know a lot of American cities used to have a streetcar system that went all over. Never as elegant as your machine -- they fell out of favor as automobiles got more common-- they ripped them all up in the 1950s. We could have had cool things like that. But no, the car companies and petroleum companies had other ideas.
@eugeneparnell I live in Melbourne, which was unusual in not ripping out streetcars/trams after WWII - we have the largest tram network in the world now. They are very useful. And kinda cool.
Mad birds making mad sounds in the park opposite the Longreach train station. I wonder what kind of cockatoo these are – I can't see a sulphur crest. #Birds#Longreach
