| Description: |
Rio Tinto rail network is the largest privately-owned and operated rail system in Australia. As tourist you need a special permit to drive on Rio Tinto Access Roads along the tracks. Several instruction videos show how to travel safely in the outback, how to survive a bush fire and how to behave when taking train pictures. A ten question assessment has to be passed to gain the permit to drive on private Rio Tinto roads. |
