It was cool, just a day trip, but nice and relaxing.
We're keen to do the Indian Pacific, Sydney to Perth, some day and also The Ghan, Adelaide to Darwin. Both are supposed to be really nice...The thing is that they're expensive! We were thinking to train one way and fly the other. Might happen someday.
And yes, NZ is bloody awesome. I regret not travelling there sooner.
They really are D|
