Hello… I made the trip on the Indian Pacific and from I can tell from your video. I am thinking that I was on the journey to Perth that brought the train that you rode back to Adelaide/Sydney. But I can’t tell where you are…. I really wish that you could have labeled where you were… I absolutely loved that journey and would definitely do again. I found a particular attendant on the train was an absolutely lovely person. I hope you got to meet her too. Thank you for a wonderful video! It brought me some wonderful memories!
😂😂😂your face tells it all with that baby crying John ha ha ha!! Merry Christmas guys. We flew over to Perth on Friday and currently we're with our son here Baldivis.
It's funny to see all those small houses in the rain literally on top of each other at 12.54. I imagine that the majority of the folk all came from England as migrants when they were offered a cheap £10 journey to Australia in the sixties. I wonder how many have ever regretted it! Any reactions?
My cousins have lived there out of Melbourne on the south east coast since 1965. They commuted into the big city for all their working lives. I came to France 50 years ago. Much nearer!@@jl991825
You didn’t miss out on anything not doing the Kalgoorlie tour, it’s timing is all wrong starting at about 9pm and then due to some problem that was never defined we finished up not getting back onto the train until 1:30am Christmas Morning; the other disappointment was having to leave the train at Lithgow and bussing it across the Blueies into Sydney, a road trip I know to well.
It was odd that the staff were actively discouraging the Kalgoorlie experience, but it lines up with your advice. Also we both got COVID by the time we got to Sydney, and I can put my finger on the transmission event; closed bus into the Adelaide Hills with a background of non stop coughing by at least 3 people. We breathed this air for the 2.5 hour bus ride... yuck.
Enjoy one of the last arrivals/departures using Perth Terminal. Last trips will be the last week in December 2024. A freight yard in an industrial atea will be used from January 2025. The government transport authority has withdrawn the right to use the actual station in Perth - mind you, it charges the company running the indian pacific $1.8mil per year for use of that station and riding on their tracks in metropolitan perth.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Take it easy and safe travels.
From this old boy from Perth.
Awesome video thanks for sharing 31/03/2024
No worries! Glad you enjoyed it.

Hey thanks mate. Welcome to Perth and WA. I hope you've had a great time so far.
Gotta love babies. I'm wondering how many thousands of miles were serenaded. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I enjoyed the trip.
Same to you! Glad you enjoyed.

I think in the 60s (and my Grandad was a 20 pound POM) there was little complaining until they couldn't get tea

You learn something every day. Sounds like the Indy is going to get a lot less classy (if that's possible) very soon!
Such a shame you had bad weather for much of your holiday.
Yeah, and both caught COVID along the trip somewhere. 😞
Wish our platinum trip was even only half as good as good as what was shown, such a rip off
It's once in a lifetime for sure!!
@@jl991825 once for sure never again
A ridiculously expensive train trip .. gotta pay its American owners fay salaries I suppose
The only way to get any value out of it is to drink at least 25 litres of Bundy and consume 100kg of bar snacks every day.
There’s nothing at Cooke.
Makes you wonder why they want you hyped to get off there.
@@jl991825 because I think the train takes on water there. That’s about it. I’ve done this trip a few times. Overrated
SOLO TRAVELLERS GET DISCRIMINATED AGAINST SO BAD. I REFUSE TO GO ON THIS TRAIN.
Is it because they don't have any single cabins?
