Well, good afternoon, ladies and
gentlemen. Welcome aboard The Ghan.
My name's Bruce Smith,
and I'm your train manager
on today's journey through to
Alice Springs and then on to Darwin.
On behalf of our crew,
certainly like to give you a very
warm welcome aboard The Ghan.
Over the next three days we will
be travelling from the bottom
to the top of Australia.
That's a distance of some 2,979km.
Stopping at Alice Springs and
Katherine on the way.
For our guests that may be
interested in statistics...
..we are 902 metres long.
We weigh 1,773 tonnes.
And we have 38 carriages
on board today.
Two locomotives at the front.
4,000 horsepower each.
Our lead loco is NR 109.
So, once again,
ladies and gentlemen,
welcome aboard The Ghan.

And good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen.
If you cast your eyes to the
left-hand side of the train,
in direction of travel, you can see
what is known as the Barunga Ranges.
And atop the Barunga Ranges is
South Australia's largest wind farm,
some 130 Commission wind turbines.
We also happen to be
ten minutes away from
the very small township of
Snowtown.
As we pass through
the township itself,
if you look to the
right-hand side of the train,
once again in the direction
of travel,
you can see mounted in
roughly the centre of the township
one of the blades from the turbines.
And it just gives you some idea
as to the size of these turbines.
They're quite large,
ladies and gentlemen.
So, the Barunga Range is on
the left-hand side of the train,
in the direction of travel,
South Australia's largest wind farm,
and as we pass through
the township,
one of the turbine blades
mounted there.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
if you look out to the right-hand
side now in the direction of travel,
in the next seconds you can see
the train in its entirety,
from whatever position you
are on the train.
Please have your cameras ready,
right-hand side of the train.
Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
a very good afternoon.
I trust you have enjoyed
the first section of our journey
from Adelaide to Port Augusta.
We will be arriving into
Port Augusta very soon
for a short moment where we will
have a driver's change, thank you.

And a very good morning to you all,
ladies and gentlemen.
Certainly trust you had
a restful night's sleep
during the night last night.
We do have an anticipated
arrival time of 1:45,
an on-time arrival time...
..this afternoon into the lovely
city of Alice Springs.
Thank you.
Wahey! N40 TSR coming up.
Must've been a bit of rain. Yeah.
A few puddles hanging around.
If they closed the Birdsville track
they must've had a...
Oh, did they?
Yeah, last week, I think it was
closed.
The Oodnadatta-Birdsville track
was all shut.
I've never seen any water
in this, ever.
The day I see water in it,
then I can retire. And I'm thinking,
well, you might work
for another 50 years.
One time when I was travelling
with Shane, there was...
We went through a fair bit of rain,
and the next day found out from
the length runner that travelled up
after us that every single creek
was flowing
between Kulgera and Manguri.
That's a lot of water.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Good morning. How is everyone?
Had a nice morning today?
Good.
Can I get anyone some drinks
to start with?
I'll have an orange juice.

Good morning again,
ladies and gentlemen.
The locomotive drivers have
just informed me we are
approximately ten minutes away
from the
South Australian-Northern Territory
border.
If you cast your eyes to the
right-hand side of the train
in approximately ten minutes' time,
there is border signage on the
right-hand side of the train.
So, ten minutes' time,
ladies and gentlemen, the
South Australian-Northern Territory
border. Thank you.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
The locomotive driver's
just informed me
we will be passing the...
What is known as the Iron Man.
Located on the right-hand side
in direction of travel.
And the Iron Man is a...
..statue erected by the...
..track layers when they built the
Tarcoola to Alice Springs rail line.
It stands about six foot high,
ladies and gentlemen. Easily seen.
But as I said, it commemorates
the laying of
the one millionth concrete sleeper
on the,
what was known as the Tas line -
Tarcoola to Alice Springs
rail line, back in the mid-'80s.

The Finke's a fairly large river,
and so it is certainly

from both the left and right-hand
sides of the train.
How many people are going to run the

That was at Tennant Creek,
ladies and gentlemen -
a brief stop there whilst
we had a locomotive crew change.
We're currently running on time,
with an anticipated arrival time
into Katherine this morning of 9am.
I'll certainly update you
with the outside temperature

please take a hat with you,
some sunscreen, and certainly
plenty of water to drink.
The outside temperature
as we speak now is 23 degrees,
