Hi Noel. I was born & raised in Sydney from the 1980s & I can tell you why they're called THE BLUE MOUNTAINS. The eucalyptus leaves of the gum trees emits vapour which from a distance during sunny days creates a blue haze. You can see this clearly from Sydney's Northern Suburbs like Hornsby, Castle Hill & Pennant Hills. So, if you're ever in Sydney again in the warmer months, take the train up the Main North or North Shore Line & look west & you'll see the blue haze. It also snows on the Blue Mountains because they are around the 1,000m-1,200m of height where snow falls at the 33deg latitude.

@@davidfrench5407 I have been to WV in the Winter & Autumn. Actually got to ski your state back in 2010 during that Arctic tundra you had, so I had a fantastic experience skiing Snowshoe and the powder was amazing, great memories of all that powder. I experienced deer jumping infront of me somewhere between I81 & Marlinton. I have no idea where I filled up along i81 for gas, somewhere around Harrisonburg, let the sat-nav take me & it shut-down because I was in the radio-silence area, so I was driving very lost. All that snow, all those deer. I was amazed at how good the coffee was in Marlinton, a mountain bike shop which was surprisingly delicious. Not used to American coffee tasting great, if you're ever in Australia, you'll see what I mean when it comes to coffee, we are more particular than Italians when it comes to coffee. Don't think I'll ever be back in WV, long story why I went there, but unless I have a need to ski Snowshoe again, probably won't be back there. The people in WV were adorable to me, it's a shame how they have very little opportunity but are the sweetest to Aussies visiting. Flying in & out of Yeager APT for my first visit are a memory I'll never lose, propeller planes & cold mountain winds shaking the planes around. Flying out of Yeager APT with all those Canadian coal miners was something, having to be moved around the plane to balance it for take-off.

Oh how it's changed, all those houses built in the 70s-90s are being flattened to make way for apartments, even the architectural Brutalism nostalgia of the old Baulkham Hills Council Chambers along Showground Road are gone, that was a nostalgia landmark for those born & raised in the North Shore/Hills District. Spent alot of time there in the 2000s. I moved out of Sydney, live in Newcastle now. I do go back to the North Shore because of family & I still have friends in the Hills.

The cows & golf course at Norwest near Solent Circuit are now just houses. Ice Rink is gone. Should change the name of Castle Hill to MOUNT BRUTALISM.

In 1979 I took this train both ways. I had just turned 20 and this was my first trip on my own from Toronto. Spent a month touring Oz with a rail pass. No one from the railways had any idea what it covered, so I ended up with a room both ways at zero cost!! That was a bargain of a life time. It is an awe aspiring trip.

As an Australian (an Ex Pom from Bournemouth), I have a deep, passionate love of my vast, adopted home, quintessentially displayed on the Nullarbor. Its huge bowl like azure skies, the jeweled sea as seen from mammoth cliffs and its far shimmering horizons. To me, it's not 'nothingness' at all. It is the Never Never, the home of the Dreamtime. Here you can truly appreciate the ingenuity of the indigenous nations thriving for 60,000 years on such an unforgiving land and the tough will of the first settlers, who would have thought they had landed on Mars. There is some incredible cave diving to be done on the Plain too by the way. Her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me. (with thanks to Dorothea McKellar)

I’ll be taking the Indian Pacific Sydney to Perth March 2025. After spending some time in Perth, I’ll be flying to Darwin where I’ll get on the Ghan train from Darwin to Adelaide. I’ll be 75 and I’m not sure when I’ll get back to Australia so wanted to do both iconic train rides.

Excellent to see the Indian Pacific Noel. I Live in Springwood (Blue Mountains) and hear this train on Wednesdays & Sundays climbing the mountain going past my place.

A few hours later of constant movement and i was feeling very green.. Live & Learn they say. Hope you enjoyed Australia.. Cheers Mate

I've driven across the Nullarbor many times over several decades Noel. The highway doesn't follow the railway line so there are more towns before and after the Nullarbor. But the Nullarbor itself is pretty much the same, with the longest stretch of straight road in Australia and about the third longest in the world. Glad you made it to Perth in reasonable comfort but for the price they could have given you a more comfortable bed. I've slept better than that in the bush on the side of the road!

Do remember that the HSTs were not just operated in England, they ran extensively throughout Wales and Scotland, and still do in the latter!

It's an accessible bathroom in the hotel, so you can also use it when you're in a wheelchair (there are handles everywhere too). That's why it's so huge I think.

Hi Noel, Yes, please do more videos of overnight trains. I love it!

I have done both the Ghan and the Indian Pacific in the last few years and both trips were a lot of fun. On the Indian Pacific, maybe I lucked out but as a single my carriage of singles and section of the train had an average age of 51 and we jelled really quickly and well and spent a lot of time in the lounge car, our host and bar man (from Perth to Adelaide section of the trip) also seemed to relax into our good vibes. We had 2 carriages of singles and 3 carriages of doubles+ for a total of 58 passengers in our section and represented 37 countries! which was pretty crazy. I think like most travel the more you are willing to put in the more you get out. If you haven't done log distance train travel before though then they may not be the best introduction to it as there is not a lot of opportunity to get off the train.

You can get rid of the 'fam' part, only people with the IQ of an underripe turnip talk like that

Goodness, that was expensive! Thanks for sharing. Not one of the worlds most beautiful rain journeys but interesting to see the isolated communities.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for this Noel, I’m booked on this trip next week, from Sydney to Perth, so it’s nice to have a preview. The single cabin may not be absolutely enormous but it looks as though you’ll spend most of the time in the lounge anyway. I must admit that I am absolutely looking forward to the trip.

I’m very sorry to say You have butchered pronouncing of Hahndorf completely 😂😂😂😂
