  • Southern Cross to the Plenary

    Made it to Melbourne. Walk up Bourke Street to Myer, windows shopped, ate Malaysian and hurried to the Convention Centre to the pre concert talk. The Empire Strikes Back!

  • Good morning from the XPT

    Running 45 minutes late due to weather and the need to remove someone from the train at Moss Vale. Had a few hours sleep, though it took me a long time to cross the threshold. Interesting skies outside this morning and the beauty of rural Victoria, while eating cornflakes and toast for breakfast.

  • On board the XPT

    Leaving in a few minutes time, only a little late. I’m sure we’ll lose time en route. Terry is taking the bus to ttom bunk.

  • Central

    It’s Christmas at Central. Our train was delayed due to track failure and congestion, but I already knew that would happen with the storms.

  • Hurstville

    Setting off for my latest crazy adventure. An overnight train ride to Melbourne, watch a concert, then another overnighter back. Glad I’m not flying. Too many storms!

  • Escaping again in Canberra

    For these past two days I’ve been at our annual team get together in Canberra. I drove down on Tuesday morning, taking less than three hours to do the trip. Thought of flying at the last moment as the sky looked so nice, but it was expensive and a colleague tells me bumpy anyway. After…

The Overland holds a…

  • From point to point

    Done it! Arrived in Sydney after some great views of Victoria, snow on the Alps, and more Canberra. Even flew over one of my workplaces. Few bumps and I’m glad to be back. Tension over for now.

  • QF438 MEL – SYD

    Almost time to head home, aboard Yarralumla.

  • Made it to Melbourne

    Arrived in Melbourne after a pretty smooth flight, though I still hate the descent into Tullamarine. Hope the return is as good or better.
