You might think that a vast, mostly empty country with huge distances between its major cities would be a natural home for rail travel. Australia's industries have certainly relied heavily on trains for years - but for passengers it is a different story. Petroc Trelawny was recently told that "everyone" flies between Sydney and Melbourne - and it is certainly one of the world's busiest air routes. But in fact there are still train services between the two cities, and he found a recent journey along the route illuminated plenty about today's Australia.
