Fliegen im Jänner 07 nach Australien. Unter anderen fahren wir mit dem Zug von Brisbane nach Cairns. Wer hat darin schon Erfahrungen gesammelt? Könnt ihr uns den East Coast Diccovery Pass empfehlen? Wie ich auf der Homepage gelesen habe (hab leider nicht alles verstanden - http://www.railaustralia.com.au/rail_passes.htm - siehe auch unten) fallen beim Benutzen des Tilt Train Zusatzkosten vor Ort an. Stimmt das? ((Travel on the Cairns Tilt Train is applicable however surcharges apply)??
Wer kann mir außerdem die wichtigesten Textpassagen übersetzen -->

weitere Frage
habe gehört/gelesen das man die Sitzplätze immer telefonisch reservieren muss? Wie viel vorher muss das passieren? Wie sieht das in der Hochsaison aus? Bekommen wir hier vielleicht keinen Platz?
Ist eine reservierung auch per Email möglich?
