Day 253: Brisbane Bound


.  There are many ways to get to Brisbane from Cairns.  The old saying Planes, Trains and Automobiles are just a few of the options, also buses and boats.  Some people just like to take their time enjoy the journey just as much as the destination.  To do that a train seems to be the great way to go.  It may not be the cheapest way to get there with cheap airfares around; but if you like to keep your feet on the ground, it may be the plan.   The Sunlander is all about the journey and takes 31 hours to get from Cairns to Brisbane.  You would travel 1,678km without being behind the wheel, and dare say met some interesting people.  Apparently there are 2,680,000 railway sleepers between here and Brisbane, so if the company didn’t interest you, you could start counting!
