Train from Melbourne to Adelaide
Hi everyone,
We'll be arriving in Australia on 9th FEB-06. Flight is from Dubai to Melbourne but our final destination is Adelaide. I was wondering is there any web site for checking the schedules and fares of TRAIN SERVICE between different cities of Australia.
One option is that we can get a connected flight from Melbourne to Adelaide but I think it would be nice if we use the train instead.
Any links ?

I'd get the flight, probably cheaper as well, you can do all the train stuff etc when you have settled in, lets face it after a long flight you just wanna get to your locaiton in double quick time and av a nice cuppa tea
