    About Me
    Riding the rails

    Ever since I was a kid I loved riding the trains. Now that I am an adult I'm slowly getting through my goal of riding all the train lines in Australia. We have such a huge beautiful country and train riding is a great way to take in the landscape of the country. I'm not in a hurry so I'm happy to spend some time really enjoying the ride.
