Train Enthusiast's Video Diary 1997-04-13
On 13/04/1997, we set off on a train enthusiast's journey; a round trip (approximately 3600 kms +/-) from Adelaide (South Australia) to Sydney (New South Wales), Canberra (Australian Capital Territory) and Melbourne (Victoria) and returned to Adelaide on 20/04/1997.
Trains included the Indian Pacific, Inter City XPTs and The Overland.
While in Sydney, we travelled on suburban trains; and in Melbourne on suburban trams.
This video clip includes snippets of activities throughout the journey, both on and off trains/trams.
Mackay, Queensland
The Mackay region boasts spectacular rainforests and national parks, secluded islands and beaches, pristine coral reefs, genuine country hospitality and historic townships. Relatively undiscovered, the Mackay Region offers a unique holiday experience that is an affordable and diverse escape from the crowds.
Located midway between Brisbane and Cairns, the Mackay Region coastline stretches 200 kilometres north from St Lawrence to Laguna Whitsundays, and inland to the town of Clermont. The region's rich and colourful past is economically founded upon sugar cane, mining, beef and agriculture.
The Mackay Region is becoming increasingly popular as a holiday destination for travellers seeking an unspoiled, friendly contrast to more developed, built destinations along the coast. Holiday-makers 'must-sees' include: our palm fringed city centre, set beside the mighty blue Pioneer River, the Pioneer Valley, Finch Hatton Gorge and the famous Eungella National Park. Artspace Mackay -- gallery and museum, our new Regional Botanic Gardens, the impressive Mackay Marina Village, spectacular scenery of Cape Hillsborough National Park, historic seaside townships such as Sarina and Midge Point, and outback communities such as Clermont and Nebo, superb golden beaches, the Great Barrier Reef and our local islands such as Brampton and Keswick.
The region has a delightful tropical climate that is similar to that found in the Hawaiian Islands. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual as are the dress standards. Summers consist of warm, tropical weather without extreme temperatures and mild sunny winters. The average water temperature is a heavenly 22 degrees.
Like all North Queensland beaches, those in the Mackay Region can attract marine stingers and box jellyfish from October to May. To avoid danger it is recommended that you swim at patrolled beaches and/or swimming enclosures, and follow any directions from lifesavers, with regards to current conditions.

Historic Electric Trains in Melbourne - Taits and Doggies: Australian Trains
A video featuring footage of Elecrail's superbly restored Tait and Dogbox electric multiple unit cars in action on the mainline in 2001 and 2002 before beurocrats and red tape confined these classic carriages to Newport workshops.
While Elecrail hope to get these trains back out on the rails and there are people working behind the scenes, it's unlikely to happen in the short term.

Three Lost Children Walk
The Three Lost Children Walk commemorates the tragic story from Daylesford's gold era when three small boys wandered away from their homes on June 30, 1867.
Sue Stanley joins Margaret and other members of the Daylesford Walking Group to retrace the 15km trek the boys made.
The tale unfortunately has a sad ending, but many people are drawn to the trail each year because of its beauty and its significance in Australia's gold rush history.

Vintage Jalopy Stock Car Races-8mm FILM TRANSFER DEMO
Vintage 1950's film footage of Jalopy or Early Stock Car dirt track racing in the mid-west. This is the 3rd of a four video set. This film is featured for it's content, not the quality of the film stock. Some of the film was so dark we could barely make out an image, so it has been highly processed. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy watching this wonderful old film!
Walhalla Pictorial.
Walhalla Town Pictorial.
Walhalla is a former gold mining town and I first went there over 50 years ago as a child and today you can really notice the difference. Nearly all the towns has quaint cottages and stores restored to pristine condition. There a museum and mine tours and the graveyard high on a hill is well worth a look too. The town has its own railway station and tourist trains all restored and looking great. This is a place not to miss if you go to Victoria.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
