That was the plan for Tuesday, but weather in NSW caused much delay, our plane was one hour late leaving and then we had 45mins in holding pattern in very rough conditions before landing on Sydney.
On arrival to check in for the Indian Pacific train we were told the train was in Lithgow and couldn't get through because of trees on the line. So after lunch we were bussed to Lithgow via the Blue Mountains . We got off at Echo Point for a cuppa or glass of bubbles.
It was cold, windy and raining but the view was amazing.
We were driven to another lookout place and continued on Lithgow. Once on the train we found our cabin and settled in. We had dinner in the dining carriage, a few beverages and then to bed. Not much sleep was had it was hot and noisy except for when the train broke down, which made us late for our stop in Broken Hill. A letter was pushed under the door this morning saying excursions in Broken Hill were cancelled, so the train could make up for lost time.
Morning view from the train
We stopped for water in Broken Hill, our carriage ran out last night
I had chosen to see Shelita Buffet a drag act, a walk thru Broken Hill and then drag bingo. Luckily Sheelita came onto the train and did 3 performances thru the morning she was greatly enjoyed.
Sorry about the photo, will have to fix at home.
Carriage where we have our meals. We are heading to Adelaide now, back on schedule.
