With a slight delay to the 5.53pm departure, we're now some 30 minutes away from the East Perth Terminal watching the setting sun caress the passing countryside as we head towards the Darling Range and wine country.
The train is the Indian Pacific - our home for the next 4 nights and best part of 5 days, as we make our way across Australia on the 2704 mile (4352km) journey between Perth and Sydney.
We're being well looked after - live music, canapés and a party atmosphere before we boarded the train, followed by a glass of champagne to help us settle in to our cabin. Dinner will be served in the lounge car in around an hour - plenty of time to contemplate our lot watching the widescreen 'passing film', before it's time to shower and change.
Next stop is the gold-mining town of Kalgoorlie, some 400 miles (650km) distant, early Sunday morning.
