Pay attention, Warren. You are not reading what I said -- again. The Ghan
ran only as far as Alice Springs until the rail link was completed in
2003. Before that there was no rail between the Alice and Darwin. Here is
a quote from a website:
QUOTE:
the good news is that after 125 years, when almost everyone had given up
hope, the line is being extended to Darwin and will be operating by the
end of 2003.
UNQUOTE
There is plenty on the Internet about this train which has become one of
the great railway journeys of the world with nearly 3000 km.Note the
correct spelling - Ghan.
Cheers,
Bob VK6BE.
