It’s Target. Mass-manufactured crap that’s designed to fall apart in record time, produced on the backs of people living below the poverty line in other countries. Trust me: You’re not missing much. Go to Walmart – you’ll get the idea! 🙂
Check out this article and video for my take on it:

@Joost – Train travel is by far my first choice of transportation; and having experienced both business/first class on planes and Gold class on The Ghan, I’d tend to agree with you! However air travel and train travel are like apples and oranges…

@Andi – Keep reading! I met lots of interesting folks, as you’ll see in Part 2 & 3 of this series.
I find train travel SO peaceful and meditative that I rarely get nearly as much work accomplished as I hope at the outset of the journey. But it’s a nice problem to have, while watching the world go by from the train…

It is so peaceful and almost meditative. I would love to travel by train in Oz 1 day. Sounds like you met a lot of interesting people.

Forget airline business or first class. Airline First or Business is cattle class compared with Gold Class on the Ghan or Indian Pacific.
