Kunzhou, as the second largest state in Australia, is located in the northeast, about 54% of the area is north of the southward regression line, not only less rainfall, the climate is also very warm, the four seasons have the sun warm, once had the reputation of "sunny state" ~

Going inland, moving towards the unknown in the sound of train, the scenery along the way reverses back. This long / short trip to train is more attractive than a few tourist cities.
