" QUEENSLAND BEAUTIFUL ONE DAY PERFECT THE NEXT"☀, Another wonderful journey thanks Tim, I would love to see it in the wet season with all the rivers running, Plenty of roo's & emus out there and i think Australia is the only country in the world that you are allowed to eat the animals that are on our national coat of arms i have tried kangaroo 🦘 & it's not bad when your really hungry 😋looking fwd to the next part of the journey cheers Bob.🤠🍺
Hello Bob, I enjoyed reading your comment, especially the bit about eating the animals appearing on the national coat of arms. I hope to return in the wet season, not quite sure when, but hopefully soon. It's nice to know you are enjoying this series of videos🍺. Tim.
In the past steam engines did work this line, sadly with the lack of coal and watering facilities available today, the use of steam is impractical. It’s still a nice run, even if the train is a DMU.
This train looks like something out of a 1950’s Sci- fi movie. The scenery looks so barren and unforgiving. Imagine laying the tracks in that heat. I really enjoyed the video and the running commentary was entertaining. Well done every one from a rather cold Scotland. P.S. Happy New Year to everyone no matter their creed, colour or what football team they support.🤡
Hi, Scotland maybe cold at this time of year, but travelling by train from Edinburgh to Inverness via Avimore after a heavy snowfall is an awesome experience, incredibly beautiful. Your description for the train in this video is spot on and the ride is about as different from riding a train through the Scottish Highlands as it's possible to get, although both lines share the same sense of isolation. I'm glad you enjoyed the commentary and I'm sure all the people responsible for running this train will appreciate your thanks. Happy New Year.
im 84 years old & i cut my teeth as an apprentice fitter on the " silver city comet " between parkes ,nsw & broken hill. the unit had 4 gm diesel engines so it required a fitter to travel on the train. but b/cause it had aircon they could not afford leco. so to please the leco,s union they coined fitters on that train "horizontal torque-matically convertedl diesel traction & transportation technician🤣😂😆" so if they had breakdown in transit , fitter could fix problem i really love these vidios i watch over & over , brings back so many good memory. please keep posting😎

Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the extra clouds; I was told that not long after my visit the area was hit with a cyclone that filled many of the rivers. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.

Copperfield Gorge is great. We were lucky to see it with water flowing into it for a refreshing dip (and the freshies were sunbaking further downstream). Thanks again for this series, Tim!
I'd love to travel on this railway at different times of the year, from what the driver's told us, the view is completely different at the end of the wet season. Your description of Copperfield Gorge when you visited serves to reinforce my desire to return. I'm glad you are enjoying this series of videos. Cheers. Tim.
@@Timsvideochannel1 In Australia, a creek is a small stream of water, not much more than a mile in length and easily crossed with a couple of planks of wood. an inlet from the sea would be the mouth of the river(e.g. Hunter River between Newcastle on its southern bank and the suburb of Stockton on its northern bank).
@@neilforbes416 It is interesting how the same words have come to have different meanings in the UK and Australia. The mouth of a river in the UK is generally referred to as an estuary, an inlet from the sea is a creek or a harbour, a stream is a small river, a river is a river and locally to me we have a water course called the Lavant course, a river that only flows after a prolonged period of wet weather, similar to some of the dried up river beds Sean in this video.
@@neilforbes416 Technically, if it is less than 60 feet wide, it can be called a creek. However, most of the time people call smaller flowing water streams.
Hi Tim! Right at the beginning there is a small photo stop to film the train as it travels over the adventurous bridge. The taxi then stops to pick you up again. At the time 1:41:05, enjoy the meal Tim and a cool beer 🍺. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.
Hello Hans, it is very cold here, the grass in my back garden has been covered with frost for more than eight days now, how is it for you in Austria? It was 41C when I filmed this video. I loved that bridge, I'd never seen anything like if before, a bridge designed to be submerged when the river is full !!!. I'm glad the train driver stopped to pick me up because the trains only run once a week. The beer and food in the Einasleigh Hotel was most welcome on such a hot day. All the best and 🍻🍻. Tim.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Now Tim, we have since two weeks many frost (-3 to -10 degrees). I worked in the warm basement because in my workshop I have +2 degrees only.
@@johannperaus6890 Wow, that's cold, I have just come indoors to warm up and drink a cup of tea before returning to my cold workshop ... I'll have to work hard just to stay warm 😊.
Had to laugh with the "Bush Breakfast scene(1:39:35) "Please wait to be seated!" on logs! LOL
They are very special logs with log tables and all 😵💫.

I always thought that they had archived these locos 'cos thay had too much asbestos in them?
