Heading South

Far North Queensland to Western Australia by Rail

About this book

An epic rail journey across Australia, from tropics to desert, cities to ghost towns. Freelance travel writer Tim Richards shakes up his life by embarking on an extraordinary adventure. Aboard iconic trains like the Indian Pacific, Overland, and Spirit of Queensland, he covers over 7,000 kilometers, traversing diverse landscapes and encountering unique characters.

Richards' journey is a blend of classic travel highs and lows: floods, cancellations, and breathtaking scenery. He delves into personal and public histories, finding joy in the random connections made along the way. Will this journey revitalize his career and offer a fresh perspective on Australia's vast and varied landscape?

Perfect for readers who love travel narratives, Australian history, and railway adventures, this is a story of self-discovery, resilience, and the enduring allure of the open road—or in this case, the open track.
