Indian Pacific Railroad and Adelaide

From October 20th(at 3pm) until October 21st (4pm) we road the Indian Pacific Railroad from Sydney to Adelaide with a stop at Broken Hill along the way. This was an amazing time! We went through the Blue Mountains then the "NSW" outback (with kangaroo's and Emu's in the wild passing by) then through the wheat fields of Southern Austalian to arrive at Adelaide to spend roughly a day seeing the sights! It was a jam packed 3 days and I loved every moment of it!!

We went to "sleep" and woke up in the middle of nowhere!
