5.0 out of 5 stars Experience Australian Train Travel, April 4, 2000

This review is from: Great Train Journeys of Australia [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I tell you these video's were so great that I would go to Australia twice just to be able to ride all the trains I might miss on only one trip. But having only one life to live and only one trip to be able to afford, these video's did the job for me. To be able to track the area I will visit as to which mode of travel I should take was accomplished by having these great tools. Australia is so vast that one needs to plan carefully to see an area well. The train travel experience is well understood after watching these lovely video's. Once again having these video's in ones library is like having a vacation in a bottle. You can take the trip anytime you want to with your VCR. Great for train buffs and anyone who wants a relaxing viewing experience. Let the kids get an education and not even leave the house. Glad I invested these will be a joy in my home for years to come!
