Thanks again Sharon. Cheers!

Scenic views from the cottages along the line, but would be more interesting if the cottages were in a better condition, it’s just a little bit shocking to see them crumbling away.

Great video, but unfortunately you have fallen in to the trap of local pronunciations. apart from the Ghan (already corrected). Hookina is often pronounced more like hookna or hooknuh Similarly Kanyaka is often said kanaka. with hard a , and much further south is Pekina, and, you guessed right, it sounds the same way as Hookna. Maybe that enabled a speaker to talk with out sucking in flies!

Thanks for that Bryan. Pronunciation, ey? It can be a nightmare, especially where local dialects get into the mix; and don't get me started on aboriginal placenames! With nothing else to go on, and not hearing anyone else speak of them, I was left with my own interpretations. As a kid, growing up in the bush without television, I only had comics to go on. For a large part of my childhood I thought Yosemite Sam was pronounced "Yose-mite", as it's spelled, not Yo-sem-ity as it's said, lol. There are many other examples and you'll all just have to forgive me and concentrate on the content, which is what it's really all about. I only hope that I got Algebuckina correct in Parts 7 & 8? Thanks for watching.
