Freight train in Cook, South Australia. Cook is known as the Queen City of the Nullarbor, population four, located on the western extreme of South Australia on the edge of the Nullarbor Plain, a barren desert plateau twice the size of England. It's on the longest stretch of straight railway in the world, spanning 478 kilometres. According to Australian astronaut Andy Thomas, the rail line can be spotted from space, looking like "a very fine pencil line across the desert". We camped there for 2 nights listening to the howl of dingos and roar of freight trains. It was awesome!
