Another shameless attempt at cashing in on the 'loco de jour' sees 4472 'Flying Scotsman' on its 1989 trip to the outback town of Alice Springs crossing the dry river bed of the Finke River - 14 August 1989.

I was fortunate to join Ken Duncan on his Red Heart Tour in outback Australia. I was physically drained from a virus. But Ken's infectious positivity, love for the people of this great land got me through a tough week. I hope you enjoy some of these images.
