A Queensland Odyssey – Part three
Bob Schroeder concludes his grand odyssey, with a trip to the north Queensland tourist mecca of Kuranda, a journey to Townsville on the Diesel Tilt Train, and a trip west to the mining centre of Mt Isa on the Inlander. Then it’s south to ‘Rocky’ on the Sunlander, on to Brisbane with the Electric Tilt Train, and finally, home to Sydney on board the XPT.
The Zig Zag Railway – where to now?
Possibly the most successful and longest-established tourist railway in NSW, Zig Zag has experienced many highs and lows in its 35 plus years of operation, but its past two and a half years have surely been the most difficult. Shane O’Neil takes a look at the history of the organisation and the serious challenges it now faces.
