We began our transport series in Africa on the Sky Safari, transferred to the Tram, and today I will talk about the next step: the Train to Australia.
The tram was a full-size tram, but the train is more of a child-size seat. It begins by going through a short tunnel that actually heads away from Australia before making a turn that takes it through the children’s zone and cuts across the edge of Australia before coming to a stop at the Australia station.
We got our best view of kangaroos from the train. The kangaroos were lying in the shade in places not visible to the walking traffic, but somewhat visible from the train.
I’ll skip ahead past our journey on the Tiger Trail and through Australia, to mention our second section with the train. Our intention had been to ride the train back to the main station. But when we came to the train it was closed. It was sitting at the Australia station not moving. Apparently it was overheated (in 100 degree weather — imagine that!). So we didn’t get to ride the train the full circuit.
