Sweet Wayfaring

We stayed in Adelaide for three nights.  It is a lovely city and I glimpsed the places other bloggers have shown, but I barely took a photograph. I didn't even find time to walk a Road that Beckoned.   You see we were busy catching up with family at Angela and Dan's wedding. My clever sister made those beautiful gowns for her daughters.

It's drawing to the close of the day and we are steaming (or should I say locomoting) into Adelaide. The Overland sure was nice and roomy.

That's the Grampians.  I really want to see them and obviously the train is not the way to do it so we will have to come back this way again some day.

Hey that's a mountain out there.  We must be getting near the Grampians.

After Geelong we leave industry behind and once again are in the big flat wheat and sheep land.  It goes on and on, but I resist reading too much of my book, so I don't miss interesting things sliding by.

We are off to a slow start, passing miles and miles of shipping containers, industrial developments and working class suburbs.

It was Australia Day and Megan one of our attendants on The Overland was dressed for the occasion. Operated by Great Southern Rail, the train runs three days a week between Melbourne and Adelaide.  It will be another full day of travel.
