ICONIC RAIL JOURNEYS
Rekindle the romance and magic of a bygone age with an iconic rail journey through Australia . Sit back and relax , as the scenes unfold before your eyes .
In today ’ s frantic world there ’ s perhaps no better way to travel across this great country and appreciate majestic landscapes than with a leisurely journey in comfort aboard a grand train . This mode of transport harks back to an age when the journey itself was as much anticipated as the destination and , as an added bonus , you can reduce your carbon footprint !
Select your epic journey across Australia from our featured trains : The legendary Ghan which takes you deep into Australia ’ s heart ; the mighty Indian Pacific , which travels from the Indian Ocean across to the Pacific Ocean ; the sensational Great Southern offering laidback luxury between Brisbane and Adelaide ; and the more contemporary Spirit of Queensland , which travels the state ’ s coastline from Cairns to Brisbane .
From the moment you step aboard , the frantic pace of day-to-day life fades away and a new kind of world opens up . As you gently roll through ancient landscapes , reawakening your senses , you will uncover flavours , colours and details that far exceed your expectations .
Journeys on these iconic trains are very popular , so we do recommend booking early .
