@AverytheCubanAmerican
@AverytheCubanAmerican Год назад
Although the both of you definitely enjoyed the journey, I guess you could say your iPad very much didn't 😂. Yup, the Outback sand is quite red! This is because Australia happens to have a perfect environment for oxidation. This occurs in rocks that contain high amounts of iron. In this type of environment, these rocks actually begin to rust. As the rust expands, it weakens the rock and helps break it apart. The oxides produced through this process give the ground its reddish hue. And that telegraph station you saw played a role in the founding of Alice Springs! Although the Arrernte people have lived in the area for at least 30,000 years, Alice Springs was established in 1861 by John McDouall Stuart during an expedition through Central Australia. Originally called Stuart, it was renamed Alice Springs when the Australian Overland Telegraph Line repeater station was constructed. Playing a key role in connecting Darwin to Adelaide, the telegraph line was completed in 1872, spanning 3,200 kilometers! So both The Ghan and the telegraph line are incredible feats and truly show that anything is possible as long as you believe and never give up.

I don't comment much but, Jeb thank you for making these videos. I can recall one very very early morning my girlfriend and I were laying on our couch watching your train videos just absolutely enamored at what we were seeing. We both come from the PNW and we talk about taking Amtrak or going on a train anywhere. I really envy what you and your wife get to do and I hope I can reach that point in my life with my partner where we get to travel and see sights we would never think too see. Unfortunately I had to move down south so I no longer am able to have that close feeling of being able to sit on the couch and binge your videos with her.... but whenever I do see an upload from you it reminds me of that truly great time I had with her that I will never forget, we both do really enjoy your videos. Its a very comforting thing to watch. She's planning on coming down to visit in late may and Im going to book a small commuter train for us so we can go visit the next city over. Your love for travel and trains is truly beautiful and I want to thank you for bringing that comfort and reminder of that time I shared with my lady. Much love and respect for you and your wife.

Hi Jeb Suzanne. Great editing and video. I'm a Locomotive Engineer in NZ. Most of my fellow Locomotive Engineer mates Male Female jumped ship 20 years ago to Australia and ended up driving the Ghan . Up front 2 of them do 12 hour shifts and retire to their mobile home behind the Locomotives. Everytime they're back in NZ they always visit me trying to convince me to join them. Unfortunately I find 11 hours max driving our own trains around NZ is enough let alone 56 hours in a straight line. If anything I would like to explore the rail trips around Alaska as a few of my colleagues say that is a great railway journey to experience. I enjoyed your video and finally would like to say NZ has a great view of Railway journeys that might interest you. Take care and you never know, I might bump into you guys on our NZ Railroad Journeys. Go safe , good health. Wayne.

Thanks Jeb and Suzanne! The Indian Pacific is the one on my bucket list, but The Ghan also looks cool so this video has made me add it to the bucket list too! Shame you didn't get to explore Adelaide that much because it's quite the interesting city! Adelaide was named after Queen Adelaide who was the wife of King William IV, but the Kaurna people called the area Tarntanya which means "red kangaroo place". Surveyor Colonel William Light was charged with surveying the city layout. The result was unique, the world's only city within a park, which it still is today. Surrounded by 900 hectares of parkland! The Adelaide terminal of The Ghan and Indian Pacific didn't open until 1984! It opened to allow Australian National to vacate the main Adelaide railway station. In 1997, the Australian government sold Australian National's passenger operations to Great Southern Rail, which is now Journey Beyond.

The cabin accomodation and food looked outstanding , very inviting , however , they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder , and perhaps I’m different , but that Aussie outback scenery is not the idea of beauty in my eyes . Great video Jeb , I really enjoyed it . Happy and safe travels .

@@chrispekel5709 . You are right , Australia is very unique , beautiful in many ways , it’s just that I don’t find the Aussie scrub at all attractive , and I’ve seen it many times having lived here for over 35 yrs now . Just my opinion of course . My best wishes .

As an Aussie I agree. I have driven across Australia and up North. Gets a bit old. I couldn't do this train trip. I would be bored out of my mind. But we all have different interests. But then I have driven up North to a really remote location where you took a satellite phone and beacon it was that remote. For a female it was a bit scardy if I'm honest.

I lived in Katherine in the 90s /early 00s & the Gorge will always hold a special place in my heart. Midnite hikes, school camps, weekend canoeing, swimming. Every time someone visited we did the Gorge cruise. Fun fact, the crocodile movie 'Rogue' with Michael Vartan was filmed there.

For feedback, give a also a jebscore on trains (Seat/bed, Lounge in the train, Food, overall entertainment, Service, Bathroom (30 stars in total)) so its more suitable for trains. I am following your channel for quite some time now and the channel deserves more than a million subs for the quality of the vids! Keep it up!!

Great video (as always). Thanks, Jeb and Suzanne. Interesting to contrast your trip with Paul Lucas' when he took the Indian Pacific which goes west to east across Australia instead of south to north. Have you thought of trying that one? I enjoy trains but 3 days seems like a long time on board one, even with great food and drink. Anyway, cheers to you both!

THIS, is the way to do this trip! If I had the dough I'd buy a platinum ticket too. I lived in the Northern Territory for 15 years and drove the Adelaide - Darwin route many times. I'd take the Ghan over the road anytime; money permitting!

We did the journey in reverse last year with my husband’s parents and really enjoyed it. I think the food on board was the highlight for me as well as meeting other travellers, many of whom had interesting stories to tell. As it was summer, we didn’t stop off in Coober Pedy unfortunately. Did you stay in Darwin for a bit? It’s quite different to the rest of Australia.
