When we returned to The Ghan from Katherine Gorge a lovely glass of iced tea each was waiting, and we watched the "floor show".Outside our window was this pool of water, and a jabiru (yes ... I know it's had a name change) along with various other water birds.
The cast of water birds grew, so we had two jabiru (jabirus?), a couple of egrets and various others.
Then a raptor arrived, which all the others totally ignored. He swooped a few times from a fence post across to a small tree - its' the blob in the twiggy tree in the centre foreground.
This is when we missed Paul's camera with it's 10x zoom!
Once the train got going we spent some time in the lounge car, and watched the scenery going by - still tropical top end, as we headed south from
Katherine.
After dinner we returned to our room, which had been converted from sitting room to bedroom in our absence. It was as comfortable as it looks, and the bed was quite high - pretty much the same height as the window-sill.
We put the venetian blinds up and the next morning we watched a red sun rise over the desert landscape - beautiful. (But too early to get up and hunt for the camera to try to capture it).
Continuing the tour of our space on the Ghan, this is a photo through the bathroom door, showing the basin and the shower door. The shower is a full-sized shower (90cm x 90cm?)
You have to ignore our towels and the bathmat. This photo was actually taken on the next evening. The bathroom started off beautifully neat with towels etc. all folded on their rack.
The showerscreen, complete with bathmat, is reflected in the mirror over the basin - it's so hard to take a sensible photo in a space with lots of mirrors.
And the other end of our en-suite. That's another mirror above the toilet, reflecting the towels (again) and me taking the photo.
