rugbypopsie Posted March 11, 2012 Author #39 Share Posted March 11, 2012 On a recent cruise on radiance of the seas an Australianism quoted was Bush Telly = Campfire. Neither I or anyone I have asked has heard of it!Possibly confused with Bush Telegraph? Also in their description of Darwin it was stated that a railway line will soon link Alice Springs and Darwin. (How long has it been there?):) The railway line opened in 2004 I was on the second Ghan to go through. Those port information sheets definately need updating.
