Established in 1986 The Kookaburra River Queen Paddlewheelers are true icons of the Brisbane River, based on the Mississipi, and Murray River Paddlewheelers and celebrate Brisbane's greatest asset - our river. The vessels were aptly named because the Kookaburra is a native Australian bird that is never seen to drink water - a prophecy that all boat owners would hope to emulate! Confident that Brisbane was ready for "something nostalgic, old-fashioned and different" the Kookaburra River Queens were born. Millkraft Thompson Boatyards built Kookaburra River Queen I. She was the first wooden paddlewheeler built in Australia in the last century. Launched in 1986 and 1988 respectively, the Queens were crafted mainly from Queensland timbers, the 100 foot keels from ironbark, the sheathed hulls planked with oregon and spotted gum and the decks made from white beech. After playing a major role in the popular World Expo 88, the vessels have become a part of Brisbane's riverscape for over 20 years. www.kookaburrariverqueens.com Alphabet Site K

Between Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa The Trans Karoo Express, or simply Trans Karoo, was a South African express passenger train service which travelled an approximately 1,600-kilometre (990 mi) journey between Johannesburg and Cape Town. It operated daily in each direction, meaning that there were in fact two Trans Karoos - they passed each other during the night, heading in opposite directions. The service was operated by Spoornet, the national railway company. The Trans Karoo was named from the Great Karoo scrubland, one of the most extensive geographical features of southern Africa, across which the train operated... The service is now incorporated into the Shosholoza Meyl network of operations, a sub-division of the national passenger train operator, the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa. Although the title of Trans Karoo has officially ended, it is still used colloquially.. Wikipedia Scanned original taken in 1982 View from the train Archive Airings AA48 Passenger Transportation
