What a good Aus Day present
A nice ride on a steam locomotive. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
I grew up in Quorn, and it wasn't hard as some people have suggested here, it was a great lifestyle. When it was hot, you sprayed yourself down with the hose.....Yes, we had running water back then, and there were no restrictions as it was pumped out of the rocks supporting the Artesian Basin which lies under most of the Australian continent.
The advantages were that on really hot days we didn't have to go to school, our houses were all solid stone construction that stayed cool if you played your cards right and didn't let the heat in.
When I was 12 we moved to Adelaide wher it was harder to keep the house cool, because they weren't as solid, air-conditioning was something new that hadn't reached Australia yet, and I hated the big city.
At 29 I went on to become an International Flight Attendant for 18 years and when I retired I found out the house we had lived in, in Quorn, was on the market for $9,000 and having just sold my house in Sydney for $200,000 I wanted to buy it, but my partner objected.
But even today at the age of 80 I would still go back to live there if the opportunity arose, because it is a great town. But it's hard to find a house on the market up there these days.
@@1944robbo I think it is what people get used to. I have no doubt it was a great place to live but for a lot of people now used to air-conditioning, computers, TV, etc, it would be hard to transition to. I'm sure in another 50 years people will say we have it hard in these times. 👍😀
Good one on Australia day,watching this outstanding bit of Australia's rail heritage, felt for the train climbing those steep inclines,like me dragging my arthritic knees up a hill
I hear you 😀 Very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
Love it 👌 ❤
Very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
Thanks heaps all the way from Sydney. 🏳🌈
You're welcome. Very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
Lovely video of our sunburnt country on this Australia Day. Reminds us how different the country terrain is and can change even within a 100 kms. All I can think of when watching this, is how hard it would have been to live in before reliable water, cars and air con.
They would have been hard times back then. A much easier life now. Glad you enjoyed the ride through the Australian countryside 👍😀
*Happy Australia Day*
Happy Australia day to you and everyone also 👍😀
Awesome! Greetings from Greece ❤
Greetings from Australia. Very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
around 27:02 on the left of the track about 15-20 metres there's a roo hightailing it for a while
He was giving the train a race 👍😀
Great video love the trip will put on our list. Pity about all the sleepers just left lying around now a big job to clean it up.
Well worth a visit 👍 Very happy you enjoyed the video 👍 😀
When the train comes off the bridge at Woolshed Flat there is a white sign on the RHS with 1.60 and 1.440, what does it indicate. Is the gradient facing the train?
Hi from NZ,
Anthony
It is the grade of the track in each direction from that point. Hello to NZ 👍😀
