点评:Spirit of the Outback is a long distance overnight train journey from Brisbane to Longreach. It makes you realise how big the distances are in Queensland as Longreach is right in the middle and it takes 26 hours. It was a great trip of over 1,000kms, stopping briefly at country towns. The small cabin's seat is changed to a bed while travellers are dining in the dining car. Bad luck if you are a big person as the cabins are very compact. The trip includes dinner, breakfast and lunch in the dining car and the meals are wonderful. Healthy and tasty and served on white tablecloths. Very special. My favorite was the barra and salad for lunch. The staff are also wonderful: friendly, helpful and informative. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always cheerful. The beds were comfortable and warm but the constant jerking, stopping and screeching of the train overnight didn't make for a restful sleep. Maybe the track needs some work on it. We were pretty seedy next day. The Brisbane to Rockhampton section was a more regular clicketty clack. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable and worthwhile trip to experience the vastness of the inland country in relative comfort.
翻译:“内陆精神号”是从布里斯班到朗里奇的长途夜间火车之旅。这趟旅程让您体会到昆士兰的距离有多么遥远,因为朗里奇就在中部,而且车程需要 26 个小时。这是一次很棒的旅程,全程超过 1,000 公里,在乡村小镇短暂停留。当旅客在餐车上用餐时,小车厢的座位会变成一张床。如果你体型较大,那就不走运了,因为车厢非常紧凑。旅程包括在餐车上的晚餐、早餐和午餐,饭菜非常美味。健康又美味,放在白色的桌布上。非常特别。我最喜欢的是午餐的澳洲肺鱼和沙拉。工作人员也很棒:友好、乐于助人、知识渊博。没有什么是太麻烦的,他们总是很愉快。床很舒适温暖,但是火车整夜不停地颠簸、停车和尖叫,让我们睡得并不安稳。也许轨道需要修缮一下了。第二天我们感觉很不舒服。布里斯班到罗克汉普顿的路段比较平常,车厢里发出咔哒咔哒的声音。不过,这趟旅程还是很愉快,很值得,能相对舒适地体验这片内陆地区的广阔风光。
