About this ebook
From Brisbane to Cairns and back in less than 72 hours by train. Author and lifelong train enthusiast Phillip Overton is out to travel the length and breadth of Australia and New Zealand by train. While unearthing some interesting facts about one of the world's greatest railway journeys along the Queensland coast to Cairns, his renowned sense of humour spills over into the pages, guaranteeing some laughs before arriving in the tropics. What happens when you cross a sign writer who can't spell, a tribe of cannibals, two Prime Ministers and a Chinaman who gives a massage like no other? You get this 3,362 km self-guided railway adventure that is the perfect travelling companion to appreciating Queensland's coast from the window of a train.
