Riding the Rails with Leichhardt Lizard

Hi! I'm Leichhardt!Take a look at my travel diary

Hi!
My name is Leichhardt Lizard and my job is to visit schools and places in the NT to share information for all NT students.

I was named after an early explorer and my first task was to take part in an historical journey - just like the early explorers did. In 2004 I travelled on the first Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin.

I had fun finding out:
What travelling by train was like
Who else was on board
About places along the way

On the way I:
Had my photo taken as I looked at the scenery and visited the railway stations
Had my photo taken with other people on the train
Kept a diary of the things that happened

You can read my diary and see my photos on this web page.

Leichhardt plans his trip
Here I am looking at the map of the NT.
I've got my suitcase packed too!
