A cartoon character is the reason why I want to go there. The first train takes more than a day and only has one stopover in the early morning hours, just in time to get a good view of the sun rising in the Outback.
No, I did not tinker with the image. The sky really looks that way …
The other way it is less spectacular, …
… but the train is. It is about half a mile long, …
… runs once a week, … and has showers on board.
There are faster ways to travel …
… but I would miss out on what lies between:
The town appears deserted …
… with the mine in the background …
… and the exception of some early morning traffic.
I return to the train …
… and it takes most of the day …
… to my next stop.
In the first light of the day I board another train …
… that takes another day …
… to get me to:
The next morning I fly from here to there …
… where I see the Devil.
