When I was about 10 years old I took to catching the train at our local station in an inner suburb of Melbourne and then changing at the next junction station. Catching the next train that came along. Getting off again and changing again. I'd do that all day. Riding around on the Melbourne suburban network. I travelled the whole of the network pretending the next change might land me in Katmandu or somewhere. I tried to interest friends but they always wanted to know where they were going. I always promised myself that I'd do the same thing with the country trains and go all over Australia and then on to the rest of the world but the idea of having to book and plan never appealed to me and I never have.
Cheers, Joy
