Experience Australia’s Iconic Rail Journeys

There are very few global journeys considered national treasures but Journey Beyond Rail provides an iconic Australian experience. From the moment you step aboard these legendary trains, you can feel it – a spirit of adventure and a sense of something very special about to unfold. Traversing the full length and breadth of Australia by rail captures the rich tapestry of this land and will allow you to explore this vast country in unparalleled style.

The Ghan

The Ghan is an historic route, once travelled by camel trains, through spectacular landscapes from Darwin to Alice Springs and on to Adelaide. Regarded as one of the world’s greatest train journeys, The Ghan delivers so much more than an extended train ride. Onboard you will find sumptuous dining, elegant private cabins, attentive service, and the camaraderie of your fellow travellers. Choose from a range of included Off Train Experiences to create a rewarding personal escapade through Australia, from witnessing unique desert animals in Alice Springs to encountering life on a working cattle station in Katherine. This journey promises access to parts of Australia no other holiday can come close to.

Indian Pacific

A journey aboard the iconic Indian Pacific will whisk you between Perth, Adelaide and Sydney in comfort and style, traversing mountain ranges and passing through arid deserts and subtropical savannahs on its transcontinental crossing. From the Blue Mountains to the treeless Nullarbor plain, see unique landscapes unfold and spot a fascinating array of wildlife from the comfort of your cabin. From world-class food and wine to a range of immersive Off Train Experiences, the hardest decision you’ll need to make is what to have for lunch and which experience to join.

Great Southern

The Great Southern journeys between Adelaide and Brisbane showcasing the best of Australia’s east coast. From one buzzing city to another and crossing four states, this journey covers a variety of landscapes including rugged coastlines, forested peaks, premium wine regions and the sun-kissed beaches of northern New South Wales. Partake in Off Train Experiences that allow you to immerse yourself in rich cultural history, meander through historic vineyards and feast on local produce, all while travelling along the coastline in style.

The Overland

The Overland was Australia’s first inter-capital passenger train. This grand lady has been servicing guests from Adelaide, Melbourne, and the regional towns in between for over 135 years, as she makes her way between cities of South Australia and Victoria. With a daylight service between two vibrant cities, enjoy a relaxing and unique journey, while savouring the creature comforts and romance of rail.
