Indian Pacific, 40 hours train journey from Adelaide to Perth

This famous route was quite interesting because you met all kind of people in the lounge or restaurant wagon. In the first evening I got company of Milan, a Croatian guy, who escaped as a young man the former Yugoslavia 41 years ago. He had been living in Australia since with all possible works all over. He had met many Finns in those places and could easily remember all worst words in Finnish.But he could not drink like we Finns, and had to retire at early hours. Next day he had a terrible hangover, and he did not anymore visit the restaurant wagon. We then arrived into the metropol of Cook, where we explored for one hour this most isolated township of the world, with only four inhabitants. There an elegant lady came to me, asking if I could take a photo of her aside of Indian Pacific. We started to talk and met later in the restaurant until we arrived to Kalgoorlie. Dr. S.D.Bhikha ,Sharma = peace, is working as a director
in one office of South-African government. We then also met another South-African, Sam originally from Afghanistan. We all three moved to the most famous pub of Kalgoorlie, where especially I had a lot of fun with four local beauties Hayley 25, Karleigh 20,Ashlee and Farrah ,both 18. Sharma and Sam were really very amused. Sharma as a Hindu did not drink alcohol, but Sam even a Muslim did. Our stop in Kalgoorlie took three hours, and we all had great time. We arrived in Perth next morning.
