Today we decided to get out for a few hours - BY TRAIN - we took ourselves to Beerwah a 30min train ride, including 2 tunnels, yes tunnels real and dark. We were very surprised by the amount of rainforest that is around in the back areas of some of the suburbs that you never seen on a normal daily basis. We spent around a couple of hours at Beerwah did a bit of shopping and had to get some printouts from the bank for dear old Centrelink as I am putting my papers in for age pension on Thursday, what a bloody mission that has been. I can guarantee that they will still want more. We waited at the station and got the train back to Beerwah. Each trip cost $2.36 so a return = $4.72, no way could you run the car for that. We also collected the telephone number for getting onto Qld Rail when we want to do our long haul train trip, at this stage we are thinking Cairns. Each year the seniors get 1 free train trip - so why not, this wont be until next year.
