Summary
We always listen out for the train when we’re down in the cutting because sometimes they come quicker than you expect. There aren’t as many trains as there used to be. Mostly just the freight ones, like the one that nearly killed us on the bus … The best train is the Southern Aurora. It goes all the way from Melbourne to Sydney, and from Sydney to Melbourne. It stops in Mittigunda because we’re pretty much exactly halfway between.
Jimmy is a kid growing up fast on the poores…
