One of my goals this week was to use public transport to travel to the city and back more than once. So I'm in the middle of my first trip now. The train was a few minutes late, but for a cost of $7.60 it is a bargain. I normally pay $22 for early bird parking. Plus it is better for the environment! FTW all around.  
  
Luckily the mobile phone reception seems pretty good along the railway so the internet connection has been good.  
  
This picture shows the bucolic joys of my local railway station. You might also notice the black chicken on the track?
