@12:54 I believe that is what the Australians call a "Bin Chicken"
Technically it's called an Ibis but the bird has a pet name "bin chicken" and you can guess why. I don't think I've ever seen a clean bin chook
Thanks for saving me frog explaining what a bin chicken (Ibis) is
@@ianfox6106 I see them at work the disgusting creatures.
Bin chickens are swamp birds that have adapted to live in the city because much of their habitat was reclaimed to build there.
they'll steal your sushi right out of your hand. At least they did to my poor, unsuspecting son.
My hometown Brisbane! The reason everything was so green was we had a heap of rain over the Summer so the outback (which is normally brown) was lit up with green, it’s almost a once in a lifetime event. Also let us know next time you’re in Brisbane, happy to show you around.
Drove through montville recently the mountain was completely covered in yellow flowers, absolutely stunning!
12:54 Australian white ibis aka "Bin Chicken"
what is ibis
@@afizi1213 Ibis is just a bird type look like stork with long narrow beak
@@ngarageRS ohhh yes, in Southeast Asia we have many eagles with sharp and straight beaks, their mouths are long like scythes that are used to cut grass
The bird, aka "Bin Chicken", is the Australian white ibis (Threskiornis molucca). They are related to the Black headed ibis (T. melanocephalus) you might be familiar with in Japan. The bats are flying foxes, aka fruit bats (Pteropus sp), which are the largest bat species in the world. There would be 3 possible species in Brisbane, being the largest, the grey headed flying fox (P poliocephalus), black flying fox (P alecto), or the little red flying fox (P scapulatus), which is the most widely distributed of the megabats in Australia.
Thanks for saving me from having to write that.
I travelled from the Sunshine Coast to Rockhampton and back 2 years ago in business. It was a great service and I also checked the speed of the train and at one stage going south it actually hit 185 Km/h. It was only for a very short stint at that speed. The train was running about 20 mins late at the time and the driver was obviously trying to make up time. you can really feel the difference in speed between 160 and 185 Km/h. I can't wait to travel on it again.
What a privilege to able to travel with you! Thank you for your time and effort! Appreciate it!
Great video. I used to catch the Tilt Train regularly when it was brand new, and I was attending boarding school. Late 90’s/early 2000’s. Back then the entertainment system had multiple music channels as well as the movie channel - I recall there was a channel where you could listen to ABC Radio National, a classical music channel, an easy listening channel, a Top 40 channel, and a few others.
Trains are great and that they drop you off closer to the centre of the city than airports.
Thank you Kuga san. Great to see some of Queensland's countryside. Pity about the "average" food. Ha ha
What a lovely city. Thank you for another great video, Kuga!
Thankyou for showing off my home and a humble train that despite being not that fast, is Australia's fastest.
Thank Kuga san. You gave me a different perspective on travel with trains. I suppose train travel can be a part of the fun in a trip instead of being solely a mode of transport.
I’m sure that bird you saw is called a bin chicken because it likes to rummage through the bins.
Welcome to Australia Kuga, I first started watching your videos when I spent 6 months in Japan ...our trains are comparatively disappointing but I'm glad you're enjoying them all the same
I have used that service 3 times now, great trip but one thing that amuses me is calling the Dunny a rest room, no couch to lay down on for a rest, only a koona to take a dump or have a leak and a sink and tap to wash your hands
Can’t wait for your next adventure!
Thank you for another great video, my very best friends live in Brisbane. Much love from the UK. My only memory of Aus is when I flew in from New Zealand to join my F1 Team at the Grand Prix. I remember sitting outside Starbucks Saturday morning listening to the sound of F1 cars echo round the city. I bought my Starbucks mug from there & it's still my favorite coffee mug 🙂 Best holiday of my life. Now I have a Dalmatian dog in the UK so no more travel LOL but if you ever visit Derby UK, please come & say Hi to us
The more I watch videos from all the creators that hail from Japan, the more embarrassed I feel about our train speeds………..🙄🙄🙄
Basically outside of EU and JP it's a barren desert for high speed trains.
Thanks!
Thank you!🤝
Thanks as always for sharing your adventures so nicely filmed and edited. I hope you had a lovely time in this city.
Hope you enjoyed Brisbane, the food on the train didn’t look very good, the bat you saw is a fruit bat we get a lot here in Brisbane. Thanks for the video
anyway thanks for the video we can see how its look like australia train and western country looks like ,in asia we know its already smart and comfort and fast like hsr
That's a big improvement on the old 'Sunlander' sleeper timings from Brisbane-Cairns. Pretty sure I left Roma St at around 9.30 a.m and we didn't get to Rockhampton until around midnight where we changed locos. This was back in 1996.
I bat that you didn't expect these fellas at the end :D
Love a Kuga video, I also love how polite you are about the food!
I would hate to see what the cab would look like if it was rated to take a kangaroo at 300km an hour.... think Aussie V8 supercar!!
If youre ever back near scotland, let us know, you would love the train up to Malliag.
Nice job, Kuga. Tilt trains are a good compromise when more advanced rail systems aren't possible. Not the height of luxury, though.
Might also be good for speeding up rail travel between KL & JB in Malaysia (narrow gauge too) where HSR might be too expensive
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
From Moreton Bay QLD
Great video Kuga-san. I'm going to Rockhampton soon and deciding between plane or train. What amazing countryside.
ありがとうございました!
Great video ... as always. Thank you.
You call that a bat? 13:21 now that's a Bat!
Thank you again Kuga for showing us this amazing train and the wonderful scenery.
Loved your commentary, as always. And loved the brief time you showed us while exploring the city
At least on this train you can check your baggage in just like an airline, and collect it at journeys end. Very few railway systems do that. Good on you Queensland!!!
I travelled in February (summer here) and I can say the air conditioning did not cope well.
Great video as always 😊
Great video. I've been on plenty of trains around the world but I could never justify the expense, time and the Woolworth frozen meal here in my own country, just embarrassing. Cheers.
You are my fave traveller.♥
"Quite average..." That may be the lowest comment I've seen for your food reviews!
Kuga has picked up the local lingo. Aussies often say "pretty average " when they mean it is bad.
Thanks for the video.
This is the closest thing that Australia has to high-speed rail along with a couple V/Line routes. 💀🤣
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you. 😊😊😊
We lived on the Sunshine Coast for a few years. It indeed is beautiful.
I've been on the Prospector from Perth to Kalgoorlie and it regularly get up to 170kph.
Thanks for coming back to Queensland.
Great trip. Thankfully you survived after 8 hours sitting.
Very cool
Interesting video, as usual. How does this train “tilt” as implied in its name? How does its top speed (160 mph) compare with the fastest Shinkansen trains in Japan? Was the business class car full, half-empty, or have only a few passengers?
I love how you explored my hometown. You even saw the very well known “bin chicken”. The large bird that you folllowed, its correct name is Australian white ibis. They are known for taking food from rubbish bins. The food on the train looked very disappointing. You are very polite 😁
First! Yet another discovery travel video! Always informative. Thank you.
Good job
The bird is a bin chicken 🤣
Hi Kuga the bird is an ibis, but we call them bin chickens
I had rode on that same tilt train from Maryborough West to Roma St. in Brisbane.
Hi Kuga, this isn't the only train to operate at these speeds V/Line in the State of Victoria have Bombardier Diesel Sets called Velocities that run Intercity services, Melbourne Ballarat, Bendigo , Geelong that operate at 160Kmph, alb it less luxury more like a commuter service and they been operating well over 10 years now regards Doc..ps the ticket price is less than $ 10 Australian
Australia has enjoyable landscapes but not so interesting is the food.
Poor Mr Kuga must think he’s travelled back in time to train travel of the early 80’s in Japan !😂
50's Japan. 60's had Bullet trains.
Unfortunately I can’t get excited about this train, the top speed is very slow compared with Europe and the food looks horrible. I’ll stick to flying in Australia and trains in Europe. Thank you for the video. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
The long beaked birb is an ibis, also known as a bin chicken or a trash turkey. Looking forward to your journey to Cairns.
must be fun
👍👍
9:52 Uh oh! Lunch has expired (February 21, 2024)!!
It was February when he recorded this
💛💛💛
Like50🙋♀️🙋♀️🥀🤠
The bird is called 'The Sacred Ibis'. The bats are called 'Flying Foxes', probably because they have a red colour, although there are 5 or more species of bats in Brisbane. They are fruit eating bats.
Not sure 🤔 how well you read English but keep up the good work!
🚄👍
The Pendolino train has arrived in AUS 😅
I am a Canadian and I have been to Australia.
❤🎉
2nd!! And what bird is that in the city? Looked like an Ibis from Egypt...
Boa viagem ai lindo trem gostei super lik 2:17 e bom viajar com vc
12:06 hahahhah the first time train i see have a side mirror ,nice ,they speed its like ecrl in malaysia that will finish and operated in 2027 you can come and fell it
13:21, oh that's a Hell-No! Brisbane is off the list - that thing is gonna carry me off to it's lair and eat me raw.
Based on the size and color, I assume the bat is a black flying fox (Pteropus alecto).
There are not many fast trains in Australia. They are mostly very slow and expensive. This is an exception, fast but not exactly a bullet train.
Hi. Looking forward to watching the video but the title is misleading. The traction system is electric but the tilt mechanism is powered pneumatically, not "electrical".
We don't have the population in Australia to have really fast trains. I've never been on the Tilt Train but I have been on its predecessor The Spirit of the Capricorn.
I disagree, to a point. The south eastern corner, Basically the areas covering Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra, have a population density similar to that of many parts of Europe, and thus would certainly support a VFT, at the very least. The issue is a 19th century track alignment, which no government, especially here in NSW, is willing to rectify.
@@arokh72 to other countries we don't have the population, but I like it that way.
How did you end up in Rocky????
Hi I'm From India❤❤😊😊
It's a mean to take you from point a to point b, not for enjoyment for sure
Why are they called tilt?
You're actually wrong. It reaches speeds of 200km/ph not 160km/ph.
it can go that fast but doesn't do so in revenue service. same with Victoria's VLocity trains, which can theoretically hit 210 km/h but are limited to 160 km/h
For a start it is Business class not First class and the bird at the end is a Straw necked Ibis better known as a dump bird or bin chicken. Next time time more out the window views, major stops and less of interior views of seat backs.
WHY DID IT TAKE 8 HOURS AT THE SPEED OF 160 KMPH TO COVER 640 KMS ONLY?
tHAT bIRDSONG, THGOUGH
640km at this train's top speed of 180km/h = 3h travel time. If QR has so many stops, then why run a fast train here at all?
Japan trains vs Australian trains wow what a downgrade 🙄 but good luck on your travels and stay safe.
Been to Japan ~35 trips from here in Bangkok
Have not been back to Australia for ~10 years (Brisbane born)
Cost of living/travel Japan cheaper
Aussie pointing out clickbait. Do you really believe the headline speed? Nowhere in the world can reach that speed. Later it mentions 160kph which is somewhat normal in the appropriate lines. As long as it has leg room, space for travel luggage the rest is so so. Its not too bad.
yep very slow
With all those stops this supposedly fast train is totally wasted for a stop start 800 km journey taking 8 hours when you could drive faster. Only in Australia!!
Australian trains are quite mediocre and that's a shame. Look at the Japanese Limited expresses, excellent. No not Shinkansen but normal high speed trains
Sad to think this is Australia’s fastest train. This country is so far behind the rest of the developed world, very sad indeed.
Don’t look up trains in the US then 😂😂
You have business class? If so OMG those meals are disgraceful! Half a cup of juice that is made from concentrate. Microwaved meals that look like slop!. That stuff should be for economy class. QLD Rail needs to up their game!
🧐 Инфраструктурный проект "Сотовая модель конгломератов" решит проблему мегаполисов 🐝. Archimedes XXI century 😇.
I am 7 minutes into this video, and I already know to avoid Australian trains. A single channel playing on an overhead screen, and what appears to be microwaved junk food. No thanks!
Yeah sure because the american ones are better, not. At least the australian trains look newer and better keept
@@loredanadincu7930American ones are better LOL
@@blitzkrieg634 no they aren't. I saw plenty in his videos and others videos. The trains are old , unkeept and the food is the same or even worst. He went on some so called first class compartemets while in USA. Let me tell you those weren't even second class by how they looked not to mention the price was astronomic for what they provide
It’s true they are pretty ordinary because we mostly fly here.
That being said, this relates only to our long-distance and some intercity trains. Our suburb and metro trains are world-class.
@@Dobuan75 we weren't talking about metro
Would have been bwtter 8f youccrualy said somethung.
Your comment would've been better if you could spell.
He doesn’t speak in any of his videos
From a Queensland resident and someone who has been to Japan 3 times , Japan spoils us with it's Bento Box and Shinkansen trains. To be honest that food looked pretty bad ,but Kuga sun you are always respectful in your comments. Happy Travels my friend. Gidday from Downunder 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘. The Ibis ( Tip Turkey) is a protected species.....
