The Indian Pacific is the last remaining trans-continental train journey. Enjoy the comfort and privacy of your own cabin and excellent cuisine, while this amazing train traverses Australia from coast to coast, between the sparkling waters of the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, a distance of 4,352 kilometres. No other journey in the world crosses so many different terrains in one country, from the spectacular Blue Mountains, through the famous green and gold Sun Belt of Australia, historic Broken Hill, past Australia's first inland Outposts and mining towns, through the Red outback and across the world's longest length of straight railway track, 478 kilometres through the stark and desolate Nullarbor Plain.
The journey from Sydney to Perth covers 4352kms and in either direction you'll have three nights aboard the great train. There are many things to see along the way as you cross this vast continent. And you can get up close and see many of them when you enjoy an optional off-train sightseeing tour. The great train offers these tours during scheduled stops at Broken Hill, Adelaide and gold rich Kalgoorlie.
