I usually take the train to Canberra from Sydney in preference to flying. Although it's a bit of a milk run, one gets there in 4 hours and all things considered it means that I can get 3-4 hours of work done. Flying, on the other hand, one shuffles from one lineup to another, and Qantas are so anal that they don't actually allow you to turn a laptop on during the "short" flight. Net result, 2-3 wasted hours. And the view out the window is nice. > Would it have sufficient power, internet access, and beer? And you have these things when driving in your car? Someone should call the police! To answer your questions: no power (but that's what laptop_mode & software suspend are for, yo), no net access maybe (there's a cafe on board, not sure if they serve booze). With more than a 14 day advance booking, you can usually get a 50% discount from CountryLink.
