Australia

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Travellers on one of Australia's most famous train journeys have been given a cheeky, yet traditional, welcome upon their arrival to the Northern Territory's Top End.

Twenty years ago, in 2004, the "Noonamah Moonies" — a group of Territorians from Darwin's outskirts — first dropped their dacks as iconic tourist train The Ghan approached its Darwin destination.

"There were people starkers just about, swinging their shorts," one original mooner recalled of the historic 2004 occasion.

Preaching the mantra of "get your backside trackside", the original mooners, along with hundreds of others, were back on Tuesday when the train returned to the tropics.

The group, which included many first-time mooners, bared their bums to greet the Ghan, which departs from Adelaide, travels through the Australian interior, and disembarks near Darwin.

If the once-a-decade tradition holds, Ghan travellers can expect to see the next "full moon" in 2034.
