Situated on the Longest stretch of straight railway in the world being 478 kilometers without a bend. as far as the eye can see to the horizon the Nullabor Plains in Australia is treeless ( Null Arbor = no trees) The Town of Cook today boasts a population of 5 people compared to an old historical population that supported a school,Hospital and many other facilities to support the community.Cook is the major stop for trains crossing the Nullabor. A very interesting little outback town.
