If you are going on the Indian Pacific (or, I assume the Ghan) and you have 4 couples in Platinum you can ask for the Chairman's Carriage. It has the 4 bedrooms and a lounge. You still eat in the Platinum dining car and can go to the Platinum Lounge but you also have this space to yourselves...
Hi John, great trip report.
I thought that I would add a few comments as we have just got back from taking the Indian Pacific from Perth to Sydney.
I agree with you that the off train experiences are better going from Sydney to Perth. In fact, for ourt trip, the only times that we got off the...
Dear Kookaburra75, this was an absolutely fabulous travel report. I felt like I was on the trip with you. A truly great read - thanks for taking the time to do it. Hopefully you fixed the hole in the roof before the rain that we are having today.

PB has been a bugbear of mine for ages. I had a quick trip from CBR to MEL over the last couple of days. The CBR boarding was a debacle. They had 2 queues jammed between the 2 stations where they scan the boarding pass with neither being priority. The people who were looking for general boarding...
I can confirm that you need to be in J or F to use the express pass in BKK. Some of our group were refused service when they got to the front of the express queue as they had economy tickets even though they had express passes. At BKK I also saw a person who did not have their boarding pass...
A quick update on what happened with getting 3 guests into Bangkok lounges: as Happy Trails and Serfty said, we were able to get into CX and EK (and could also have got into Miracles). With a bit of shuffling we managed to get everyone into one lounge or another. Both the CX and EK lounges were...
