Australia By Rail

By Colin Taylor (Trailblazer)

Taking the train is an ideal way to explore the continent.

The book includes railway route guides with 70 rail maps incorporating all the main lines and branches, what to look out for as you travel and where to stop plus city guides to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra and Darwin; and yes, it includes the Ghan extension to Darwin.
