This is a dedicated blog covering my overland rail trip to Australia departing from London on 27 August 2011. I’ll be travelling on standard trains, overnight sleepers and a couple of luxury trains, if I can connect up with them in time.
It could comfortably be done in 25 days but there are just too many fascinating lands between Europe and Australia so I’ll be meandering slowly across the planet.
I aim to roll into Sydney in early November but journeys end will be Perth in mid November.

Less on visas
My ticketing agent Railbookers (www.Railbookers.com) has managed to route me through the Baltic States, avoiding Belarus, and savings yet further visa costs and letters of invitation hassle -required even when simply transiting to Russia.
Have a good trip and look after yourself. Can you post pictures of your journey on here as you go? Simon
