A poisonous, invisible cloud spread through the carriages and stations. Thousands of people were made sick, and 12 died...

This is a place to fill the gas tank, wipe the splattered insects off the windscreen and vamoose in a cloud of dust. But from mid-July to the end of October, Eneabba undergoes a startling transformation into one of Australia's most impressive natural attractions. The spring rains trigger an outburst of wildflowers, which bedeck the usually arid landscape in yellows, pinks and whites. No fewer than nine national heritage...
