@pandanus @ajsadauskas @australia I misread and first thought they meant fly up drive around and while I to my shame haven't got to FNQ I thought, doing the reef one and and the rainforest the next would not do either justice.
Then I re-read and well, yikes you would not want to do that to yourself (or the other road users for that matter).
Folks do the same to NZ, long and thin is not small, for what it is worth. Our roads don't forgive that most sadly.
@RM_Transit @paulwallbank @jedsetter @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars Yes but all the relevant infrastructure is owned by the ARTC, which is a freight railway focused organization still drowning in the Melbourne to Brisbane inland rail project that was designed, yes really, on Google Maps (to get it approved before it could be realized as a boondoggle).
Also owned by the federal government who don't do passenger rail funding (essentially) and not the individual states that provide public transport.
@stephengentle @ajsadauskas @australianpolitics It isn't even that.
It is just a way of signalling that they hate the anti-nuke greens.
