We continued our train journey further north of Dublin and stopped at Drogheda. Maybe some of you can recall the name in the novel/mini series The Thorn Birds. It is thought that this fictional sheep station in the Australian outback is named Drogheda after this Irish town. Well I have loved this fictional saga since I was a little girl (even though I may have not been allowed to watch it!) so when I realised that Drogheda was just a train ride away, I couldn't miss this opportunity to visit!
