Go West Young Man - Day 1 - 11 October 2014

The flight from Brisbane to Sydney was uneventful and arrived at 10.30am.  It took some time to get my luggage and work out how I was going to get to Central Station in Sydney.  Since my last visit to Sydney back in the 1990s there is now a rail ink from the airport in to Central which takes about 20 minutes so I took that.  I was at Central  by 12.00 noon and had to wait till after 1.00pm before being allowed in to the lounge for a pre-leaving drink.   Note all standard drinks are free and this could become a bit of a trap. At 2.00pm we were allowed into our cabins.  The single cabin I am in is almost identical to the ones I had on my Outback trip but has a little table ideal for resting my tablet on and my seat has padded armrests

We got away a little late at just after 3.00pm and the first bit of the journey was through the Western Suburbs, a fairly industrial  area.  After a while we began   to climb the Blue Mountains and the scenery was beautiful.

I had dinner early and went back to my cabin, sober, to update this blog.
