In unrelated travel news . . . the "Outback Train" has new tracks and is on its way to completing its inaugural Adelaide to Darwin journey. This is simply really damn cool, hows about a train vacation across Australia?

"Once the train starts regular services, tickets for adults will start at A$440 (US$334)."

The actual train site with schedules and such is http://www.trainways.com.au/.
