YES Martin is the quick answer , you get 4 coupons per year if you only use a seat it is 1 coupon each way plus adminstsation fee of $27.50 per coupon , if you get a first class sleeper it takes 2 coupons each way, so by using the 4 coupons it is costing the two of us $443.70 return with first class sleeper , we leave Brisbane 8. 55 am on Tuesday arrive Cairns 4 .15 pm wednesday , meals in dinning room cost between $12.50 to $19.50 and there is a club car were you can buy snack food and take aways . hoping to see plenty of water and have no responsible will let you know what we think

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Pick me, pick me!
When are you getting here?
I'll put the kettle on.
Don't forget to call in to say g'day.
Have a good trip, and I'll see you in Cairns.
Pack your gum boots or Japanese gum boots. It gets a bit boggy under foot after a storm and down-pour. Cheers Chris

Dengue has been coming and going for more then 12 months now.
There have only been a couple of serious cases experienced by the "vulnerable group".
The "group" includes young, old and in between with respiratory problems, or other health weaknesses.
Bring the Bushmans and take the Vitamin B - that's Mega B. The mozzies aren't selective as to what B you take. Hedge your bets, improve your protection and take 'em all.
Went for a drive to Mossman and Mareeba today and there's plenty of water lying around, and we were hit by a downpour of almost zero visibility. So there's more on the way.
But, it's not cold. See you tomorrow Brickies. Cheers Chris

Has anyone seen the Brickies?
The "Cairns Nomad Welcoming Committee" were on the platform, but saw no sign of the Brickies.
We'd planned a little get together, but it was a little smaller than we'd planned.
Anyway Brickies, we hope you enjoyed Cairns, and maybe we'll catch up some other time.
