Indian Pacific, a Journey Across Australia
Indulge yourself on an Indian Pacific Adventure The Indian Pacific offers travellers four days and three nights of one of the most impressive and indulgent ways to explore the vastness of Australia. From the Indian Ocean on Australia’s western shores to the Pacific on the east, the two oceans that give the train its name, you will watch the passing backdrop of Australia’s magnificent landscapes. Travel in either direction - from the ‘harbour city’ of Sydney in the east or the lovely Western Australian capital, Perth. Your epic journey will take you through the picturesque and fertile Avon Valley, the dusty goldfields around Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, across the vast, empty and ancient desert of the Nullarbor Plain, to the isolated outpost of Cook. Journey through Adelaide and the magnificent and once-impenetrable Blue Mountains into Sydney. With the Off Train Experiences you will have time to experience the incredible diversity of Australia. Visit the heritage and culture of the ‘Silver City’ Broken Hill and indulge in an abundance of food, wine and history in the elegant South Australian capital of Adelaide. With room to stretch out and all the comforts of home, Gold Service is included in all of our tailor-made packages. Enjoy private cabin accommodation together with all-inclusive dining, beverages and a range of fascinating Off Train Experiences at key stops. Gold Service accommodation is available in both single and twin-share so you can choose to travel with your partner, friends or roll solo. As a guest on Indian Pacific you can choose one included experience at each of the following destinations giving you exclusive access to the sights and surrounds that make these places truly unique and interesting.
Broken Hill Pro-Hart Gallery: Paris, New York, London and Broken Hill. You might not think it, but this town’s art scene could rival those of the biggest art capitals in the world. Broken Earth: The Miner’s Memorial is a unique and striking structure that sits at a height of 54 metres overlooking Broken Hill.
Adelaide Note: Adelaide Off Train Experiences are only included for those guests travelling Sydney to Perth or vice versa when not breaking their journey. City Sights: See why Adelaide is one of the world’s best planned cities as you take in the sights and sounds of the city and its surrounding areas.
4
Adelaide Central Markets: Right in the heart of the city of Adelaide sits the largest fresh produce market in the Southern Hemisphere. At 140 years old, the Adelaide Central Market has been known worldwide as the Australian epicentre of food, culture and lifestyle.
Kalgoorlie Note: Kalgoorlie Off Train Experience is only available on the Perth to Sydney journey. Australia’s Gold Capital - Visit Hannan’s North Tourist Mine where you can access the minerals exhibition and take part in a host of activities such as trying your hand at playing two-up, visiting the Chinese Gardens and viewing the city from the observation deck.
Rawlinna Note: Rawlinna short stop is only available on the Sydney to Perth journey. Step off the train and kick up your heels under brilliant desert skies on the Nullarbor Train with new found friends while enjoying a chilled beverage and canapés.
