This is part 21 of a series of videos that document my travels for 6 weeks during the summer of 2025. As a teacher, I take advantage of getting my summers off by doing as much traveling as I can possibly do.

In this episode, I take the 25-hour long overnight train, the Spirit of Queensland,  north from Brisbane to the tropical city of Cairns. I booked a Railbed seat, which converts into a single bed, for my overnight journey. All of my meals were provided, and the staff was second to none. I loved the views, meeting new people, and making the shot little fresh air stops along the way.
