The Overlander

Today we are spending about 10 hours on the train from Melbourne to Adelaide. It was just a short walk from the apartment to Southern Cross station.

 

We had to check in by 7am, so a reasonably early start. We walked to the station, and once we had checked in our luggage and had a coffee, walked up and down the station. We managed to get to about 4000 steps before getting on the train.

The journey was through lush green countryside. There had been a lot of rain, so in many places there was surface water.

 

We saw quite a few sheep, some cows and even a couple of kangaroos. In many places lots of small trees had been planted as though attempts were being made to regenerate the bush.

 Nearer Adelaide we stopped at Murray Bridge. There were several riverboats moored up, reminding us of our time on the Murray last year. 

We're certainly having some wonderful Ozzie holidays!
