Australia's Great Train Journeys

Australia has some of the most spectacular and unforgettable rail journeys in the world. Ask anyone fortunate enough to have travelled on one and they’ll tell you there’s no better way to experience the outback, cities, coastal towns and regional areas in comfort.

One of the most fascinating is The Ghan, travelling north to south (or south to north) through the heart of the continent between Darwin and Adelaide via Alice Springs. Enjoy two nights aboard this great train and marvel at remarkable landscapes from the tropical splendour of the Top End, to the rusty hues of the Red Centre and onto the fertile country side surrounding Adelaide and its wine regions.

If you’d rather travel east to west (or vice versa), then join the Indian Pacific between Sydney and Perth via Adelaide. From the treeless plains of The Nullarbor, where the train travels the world’s longest straight stretch of railway track (478 kilometres), to the spectacular Blue Mountains, you’ll see unique landscapes and amazing wildlife from the comfort of the lounge or your cabin.

Gold Kangaroo Service

For those seeking a little extra indulgence and style on either of these journeys, go for the well appointed Gold Kangaroo service, as comfortable beds, fresh sheets, pillows and duvets, private toilets and showers are all part of the service. Fabulous meals are included in the fare, with complimentary tea and coffee served in the exclusive Gold Kangaroo Service Restaurant. And if you want to meet fellow travellers from all corners of the world or sit back and enjoy the passing parade of Australian landscapes, the club-like atmosphere of the Lounge Car is just perfect.
