My hometown Brisbane! The reason everything was so green was we had a heap of rain over the Summer so the outback (which is normally brown) was lit up with green, it’s almost a once in a lifetime event. Also let us know next time you’re in Brisbane, happy to show you around.

Bin chickens are swamp birds that have adapted to live in the city because much of their habitat was reclaimed to build there. they'll steal your sushi right out of your hand. At least they did to my poor, unsuspecting son.

@arokh72 4 месяца назад

The bird, aka "Bin Chicken", is the Australian white ibis (Threskiornis molucca). They are related to the Black headed ibis (T. melanocephalus) you might be familiar with in Japan. The bats are flying foxes, aka fruit bats (Pteropus sp), which are the largest bat species in the world. There would be 3 possible species in Brisbane, being the largest, the grey headed flying fox (P poliocephalus), black flying fox (P alecto), or the little red flying fox (P scapulatus), which is the most widely distributed of the megabats in Australia.

I travelled from the Sunshine Coast to Rockhampton and back 2 years ago in business. It was a great service and I also checked the speed of the train and at one stage going south it actually hit 185 Km/h. It was only for a very short stint at that speed. The train was running about 20 mins late at the time and the driver was obviously trying to make up time. you can really feel the difference in speed between 160 and 185 Km/h. I can't wait to travel on it again.

@achitophel5852 2 месяца назад

160 and 185. You realise that that's the cruising speed on European motorways, and their fast trains do double it and more.

I wish we could have proper high speed rail, but that will never happen. Our current lines are just too poor quality for it and were built for steam trains. I have a vague memory of these tilt trains getting brought in years ago and they were so controversial, especially when it was proposed to get them in NSW... which I don't think ever ended up happening.

I disagree, to a point. The south eastern corner, Basically the areas covering Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra, have a population density similar to that of many parts of Europe, and thus would certainly support a VFT, at the very least. The issue is a 19th century track alignment, which no government, especially here in NSW, is willing to rectify.

Christ. LMS and LNER were covering this and greater distances in half the time in the 1930s. One of the most stupid aspects of the Stare system in Australia was the ability of each, parochial-minded state to choose its own gauge, instead of that being used in Britain and every other rail based system. Narrow gauge is for the narrow minded - and boy, we still suffer from it now and will do for centuries. Scrap the States, - 3rd rate politicians wasting billions of your hard earned dollar. BTW the original tilt train concept was developed in Britain in the 1970s. you can see an example at the Nat Rail Museum in York - set aside a couple of days if you're a railways enthusiast.
