Congratulations Deuce. I just saw a TV news item about some train now running in your country. I hadn't realised that the iron horse has only just been introduced.
Does that mean that until now you have all had to travel by kangaroo?

Kangaroos are very difficult to mount
Camels & Donkeys are much easier but the preferred form of travel is the Sheep.....a very comfortable ride for us layed back types
The iron horse project cost a mint to make....but if it only gets half the freight Trucks off the road it will have been money well spent
We finally have a direct gateway to Asia instead of diverting via plane to Melbourne all the time
cheers

When I first saw one of those iron horses me and my mate Ugg threw spears at it. Its skin is too thick - like us - and it breathes fire ! White men bring many strange things like pretty beads and these computers. We trade our teenage daughters for them. Is good.
