My name is John, and this is my story. Last year just before Christmas my family and our cousin and uncle
and aunt decided to go to Perth for holiday. We went in two cars but when we were about halfway there my
uncle wanted to turn round and come back. He said it was too far, and it was terribly hot too, one day it was
480
C. Even at night it was really hot. Anyway, what we decided to do was to drive back about 160 km to a place
where the train went through. Then we put both cars on the train and we all went to Perth by train. That was fun.
It was a good train.

It was a really strange holiday because nothing went the way we planned it.
