Few years back QR refurbished  Queenslander 5 years after inaugural for keep
up with the taste of the customers as well as attract new customers. The
original cocktail lounge was good enough, much better then most of the long
distance trains in operation. I think there's nothing wrong with give the
customers a bit of surprise.....hopefully they will give more attension on
Overland as well.
