Have you been to Kuranda?..via Cairns, that will blow you away, as a kid I sat on a bridge in Liverpool UK, its got the Ford Halewood Car plant in the way now, but I'd walk with my brothers to the bridge and wait for the Flying Scotsman to come through, wow what a wonderful beast, dident need a timetable, it was front page on the newspaper!
Cheers Billy.
