Spirit of Queensland

October 10th, 11th . Lyndie dropped mum, dad and I at Caboolture train station for a 4.40pm departure. We were travelling in the new rail beds and had 3 seats next to each other. We were served dinner which was a bit like airline food but nicer. Mum watched princess grace of monaco while dad watched the muppet movie . Then mum and I watched a movie called 'All is lost' about a guy who had a yachting accident and how things keep going wrong for him. A story of survival (or not)starring  a very old Robert Redford. They converted our seats into beds and we hit the sack. The night rattled and wobbled on as Dad roused and crossed off each town we passed.
They woke us at 6am to convert the beds back. I pretended to still be asleep ,so they did me last.  Breaky served at 7am. Then Mum and I watched The Magic of Belle Isle with Morgan Freeman which was a nice movie. We stopped at Tully and had an hour break since we were ahead of schedule. We got out and found an orange tree in fruit in a a park so we picked a few. We arrived in Cairns late afternoon and made our way to Hides Hotel. We bought subway for tea and ate it on the balcony at Hides.
