A joke i heard about Queensland rail-


Me "Oh, by the way I'm using the Queensland rail service!"
You "Really, I'll walk along side you then!"

Unfortunately, i heard this joke to late... and went on a journey from Cairns to Townsville with Queensland rail... named The Sunlander. It took over eight hours. OK, understandable if it is a long way, but in the car it could have taken half that time. We didn't realize that it goes at 20 mph. It was terrible watching the trucks and camper vans drive past us on the road next to us. We could have taken a half hour flight instead or whatever!


Well, after most of our day was taken up, we finished our day at and Australian grill, where i ate a Barramundi, a fish which is what you could call, and Australian icon. Which is i think the first australian meal i have had and it was really good! Shame you don't get Barramundi in Scotland!
