I used to live at Rawlinna. From birth to 6 yrs of age. My dad worked on the railways. My brother who passed away, he requested that his ashes be scattered at Rawlinna. I love that place. ❤ Thanks for footage of Rawlinna.
Mate. These videos make my heart ache. ----- When my divorce came through in 1985 (in the UK) I hopped on a 'plane and flew to Perth. I honestly have no idea why! But as soon as I set foot on Australia, I fell under it's spell. I shared a Holden panel van over to Adelaide and then bought a second hand Honda XL250 and off I went. OMG. The best six months of my life. 19,000 miles on that 'bike and even more sharing vehicles with other folk. WHAT A RIDE! I've been back to OZ a few times since then (mostly WA) and I absolutely STILL love the place.
Martin you should write a book! I'd buy it! Glad you enjoyed my films, even if they did make your heart ache 😊. Where in the UK are you? I used to drive coaches over there in the early 2000's.
Hiya! I'm in north east Kent. On a clear day I can see France, but it's okay otherwise! 😆 I used to drive buses in the old days. A man of leisure now though. 🙂 @@brettkibblewhite6466
I would love to do that trip. I don’t think we’re allowed on the access track now. Buy the way, I was a train driver at Kalgoorlie in the late 90s. Drove to Cook almost every week.
Just love that terrain out there. Those trains are a good thing too, because without them there would be so many more trucks on the Eyre Highway. Great video again Brett. Most people would not know that the, what used to be major stops on the railway line are named aftert previous Prime Ministers.
I was told they ran it further south so as to escape much of the heat in the warmer months. I have ridden motorcycles across the bitumen in summer several times, on one return trip I had 47C as a travel companion both ways. Thank goodness for Camelbaks on the bike and aircon in the car.

My pleasure Noel. I like Rawlinna, and it's fitting that your brother had his ashes spread out there. Take care my friend.

Yes that's a good point John, I don't think I pointed that out on the film. Glad you enjoyed it.
That's a trip I would love to do one day, I probably won't make it but I can dream :)
Will hope to do it one day!!
Good Brett.
Wonder why the Eyre Hwy didn't follow the railway?
