on a world cruise i can understand taking a few days off... but any other situation i wouldnt. I guess a rail/sail package would be good - ie rail to sydney then cruise or rail to darwin? etc
I'd love to try it out and visit again. Are the fares expensive compared to air for the rail services to Perth from the east coast cities? And how about the north/south routes along the east?
Thanks,
Jerry
I have rode The Ghan from Alice to Adelaide, spent a few days there and then joined The Overland to Melbourne - and there, of course, did The Tram Dinner Ride.
Wonderful, wonderful experience!
