I took the "Indian Pacific" from Adelaide to Sydney on the 22/12/1999.
I was too, given the wrong departure time(8:45am rather then 7:45 am).
If I had not been double checked the previous day I would have miss it.

The train didn't stop at Peterbrough which surprised me. Gladstone been
the only stop between Adelaide and Broken Hill.
