The Sydney Bush7alker R OF TRAITS elee, Katli 1,16:ay Last year Jim .Brown gave us a very inerestinL talk all about trains, Past an Dresent, so I make no apology for writing of the now, even if locomotion, in 1).7.sh7alking Parlance, means foottravel. 7hen I caele to Testern Australia, no one told eie about the trains. “Oh, Perth is Thvely!” they said, -en 46:,ey heard I was cooing here. “You nover saw such wildflowers!” 7ildflo7ers yes, but no mention of trains. I have no to r3st in a peaceful suburb whore the Perth plain meets the c'entlo fcct-_-ills of the Darling Ilance. Farms and vineyards and,o-eanze orrhards are all around us, and to ;et to the villa;ewe blithely take a short cut across the railvTay Ines, six sets of them. In t'e sprin the earth beside the track is a broad expanse of verdure and a kind of teazle.,;raes almost the colour of -,;ink clover, but in the heat of S1-:.=.,2 this herbafe is burnt off, being a fire hazard, and the steel rails go shiemering nakedly into the far distance. Giant gums and pines and c-dar trees ',order the etation, and as -!e emerLe from their shade e find a space between -,arked trains oblignEly left on the pedestrie,ns use. ::others prams, cyclists, matrons ei bed dovn marketing, we all take the s:eo-t cut, but I still have a feelin; of guilt, and gaze a-.e.)rehensively and left down the vacant permanent ray. Stfatl,lioan_trains ere diesel burning, tend ,:,en em'ly s'.eort affairs, two or three carriaces, vofik7 coclforuable, nattily painted in red, white and green6 though the na7er cars are a gleaoing sliver, airconditioned, and beautifully upholstered. A conauctor is aboard, as in a bus, ready to supply you with a ticket if -rou have not ad time to buy one at the station 'here you entrain,d5 in fact same platform: dispense with ticketselling altogether r:nd you buy one aboard. Also, they are points of no return only sin:le suburban tickets are iesued. Country t-af.ns are of course loner, and flainted in th-_ sme gay colours. :::cellent they are too, raced with names like Ausralind and The Shopper, subtitled Kovea, which conveys pass:ners from Buribury, a hundeed miles -r so to the south, to Perth and back, just for the day. But it is the loco2otivos that are the crowning glory. In most places engines go by numbers, not by names even Kiplingis famouE locomotive is .007 ( .007, not to to confused with James Demi): and in Pee-th the City Fathers or whoever is responsible for naming streets, show a re, rettable lack of imagination and resort to numbers ( I myse'f live in rift' Road). But it is not so with engines. I was so iffriL,usd with their names that I wrote to the “estern 6 . The Sydney Bush-Talker February 1969 Australian Gov 7nment acj_lways, and thy sent me a dazzling list. T–ro classes of locomotives; 32 in all, arc named after estern Australian Aboriginal tribes, and fascinating names Bibbulmun, Ka.rda:Jur, Arawodi, Yala gonga (he 'as Chief of the Oor-Dal-7all trne, 77herever they may be located) flash past, boldly emblazoned in brass on the dark g:een engines. In this district I have seen on'y Ballardoz:. 9 :angali, Kardagur, C:-uroro (a 7.ovely name for a locomotive!) and Libbulmun, but am always hoping I shall meet –rith K.ri ra, Jargurdi, -,=rangoo cnd all the rest of the colourful tribes. Another class, ten, of them, are named after mountains in 'estern Australia T':211ce (reputed to be the highest, height unknown), Hallowell, Dale, ::4srton; and eighteen more are called after “estern Australian rivers, Hi74rdiaison, Gascoyne, Kalgem, and so on and so on. The possibilities are :,-ndless, and one only wonders -Why other states in Australia do not show similar imaginF,tion. 'ildflorTers for instance, 'why could Ne.:: South -ales locomotives 17,e-T names like aratah, Doronia, Dillw7nia? Surely they are worth publicisinE. Or bird names, aosella, :ookaburra, B17olga, (but not Galah); or explorers, Sturt, ::yre, Giles? 2ut no, prosaic non-committal numbers are the order of the day. -lere I live, the trains are pleasantly audible, and the suburban services run so :Legularly that when I hear an apologetic “TootT1 I say to myself “A, there goes tI,e 10,30” and glance at the clock to see if it agrees. Now, in tho ;ide moonlit niht, I 7-ear a country train choofing round the foothills - who knows but that it is nuroro, wending his -,ay south? ndsod, cistern Australia has many thins to recommend it, and not the least of them are its trains. The latest information we have about Roger Lockwood is that he is temperature con-broiler of an ice-rink in 7rankfurt, Germany. Possibly he uses his toes. 7e also hear that he has been sampling German grog. F.eqbiva,ry 1 96 9 The Sydney Bushvralker BUSIII-3 BA3RIrCITON Mar:-.riet -yborn

Dot explained to us that the 717ole river valley as mistily lit up by the moon trying to tiieroe through a bahk of clouds. It looked quite eerie.
