Junee, Australia

I departed Sydney for Melbourne, choosing the all-day train ride so we could see some of the countryside. Shortly after I took my seat (aisle, not window, alas), a gentleman sat next to me.

Six or seven hours later, after a nearly non-stop conversation, Chris departed at Junee, to be picked up by his sister-in-law and then to continue on to see his father.

The train was slow and delayed, but wonderfully relaxed.
