I rode this lovely train about 3 weeks after it started, I was the only passenger onboard. We stopped and delivered parcels to people in the few little towns along the way with the occasional stopping of the train thrown in to go for a walk and show me some truly remarkable things. The Driver and his Mate took really good care of me, maybe it helped that I'm a railroader too. Thanks for the video !
What a gem of a doco esp the Cairns to Almeden section with all those camera angles and shorts ... how on earth did you manage all that. I knew people at Almaden and would drop in if the timing was right over a five year period when working out at Kowanyama. A Blue Hills hospitality at Almaden if ever there was one. Not much there to look at but the people are worth bottling.
@@JohnsTribe ... ok thanks for that ... with those edits the vid really has some presence eh! ... I mean the sequence and the pace and that takes talent. I'll pass the vid on to my rellies for a few more likes.
What a great video. Bought back so many memories
Thanks Bruce. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Fantastic video. This brought back wonderful memories of our 2022 trip.

Glad you enjoyed it
