Et puis le Nullarbor – ce n’est pas un mot Aborigène, il vient du Latin – nullus arbor, pas d’arbres. Un désert, où la route est tout droit – pour 478 km. Arret à Cook, où habitent 4 personnes! Pas tres accueillant. Et un sense d’humour – le Country Club de Cook!
And then the Nullarbor. Not an Aboriginal word, but derived from Latin, nullus arbor, no trees. And the longest straight road in the world – 478 km. Stop at Cook where the population is 4! Not terribly welcoming, but
at least a sense of humour - Cook country club

Not that similar to the prairies - they have more going on. I don't suppose they had an observation car - it would be too hot! Did the train keep cool?
I imagine it must be very quiet in Cook. Quiet as in "without sound."
