Using the train more and more. Often faster, def greener and climate-cleaner than cars.
Love it 💕

@timrichards @austrains Brilliant Tim please keep us posted with photos and comments as you go! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 have a great time. #railaus #railways

@timrichards @austrains Can you get the Adelaide to Brisbane ticket but get off for a day or two at stations along the way? Or do you have to do the whole stretch in one hit? #railaus #railways

@timrichards @NarrelleMHarris New Year Resolution for myself & Gerard is to embark on some #railaus trips. And get to #tasmania for the first time. How good is rail travel in TAS so we can maybe combine 2 goals in one?

@Steveg58 Sounds a fab trip. You'd have seen a lot of the country which is for husb and i a huge reason go give train travel a whirl. Car/plane and carbon footprint is no longer a viable option imho. #railaus

Apart from snorers this article has me convinced to take the train to Sydney next time we go. Lets face it, you get snorers on flights too.. The Turkey Roast looks amazing mmmmm

@AussieWirraway Very nice indeed. I'm not a train buff but can appreciate why you are pleased with that little find! #railaus

Have been chatting to the author of https://fremantlepress.com.au/books/heading-south-far-north-queensland-to-western-australia-by-rail/ about beautiful train journeys around Australia. Full of ideas for relaxing cheaper holidays and without the carbon footprint of air travel. It's something we all need to consider from now on #railaus #holidayspirit #australia

@timrichards so husb and i could do Mel > Adelaide then Adelaide > Bris. Presumably we could get back to Melb from Bris??? Would be a great #railaus trip. Love it. 💕

@timrichards are you planning any #railaus journeys for the SE corner of Australia?

@kathleenmary Thank you so much. We're in Melbourne and retired now so perfect timing to explore Australia by train and without a massive carbon footprint #railaus #greentravel

@timrichards Thank you for the tip! Ill check it out. We'd like to take the train north from Melbourne to Qld. Tho itd take probably as long as by car but without the carbon footprint. #railaus #greentravel

Can anyone recommend beautiful train journeys worth doing in Australia? #railaus #australia

@nickevershed Same. The post just made me check out times and prices of Melbourne > Sydney trains. It's great value but 11hrs and 16 stops ...eeeek. If we had rail networks as in Europe I'd be on them ALL the time. So much great work in the Arts going on in other cities/regions that Id gladly train-it to see. #RailTravel #Artspeople #railaus #TrainsFirst

@nickevershed I never get bored with sitting comfortably, looking out of a window and seeing the country pass by on a rail journey. Trains are just wonderful. You get out the other end unstressed and ready to go! #railaus #RailTravel #TrainsFirst
