RE: The continuing story of my journey as a Boy Entrant in the RNZAF in 1956
Some 18 years ish later, in my teens, I made the same train trip between Wellington and Auckland a few times. One time I splashed out for a sleeper, but usually it was second class as well. Sometimes it was easier to stay up all night than to try and sleep. Waiouru, in the middle of the night, in the middle of winter, felt like the coldest place at the arse end of the world.
Natilnal park is tne next unmaned shed/station north from Waiouru, cold even Jan.
Thanks for your reply kiwideb. Later as we got older we used liquid refreshment ti ease the pain of the trip.
