The Indian Pacific is one of Australia’s iconic rail journeys, a comfortable, stylish, all-inclusive way to travel this great country and experience some of its interior landscape and natural wonders. Named for the two oceans it travels between on its transcontinental crossing, the Indian Pacific runs between Sydney, Adelaide, and Perth, covering a distance of 4352 kilometres over three nights and four days.
This legendary train journey gives guests the opportunity to follow the epic trail carved out by bush pioneers, gold rush prospectors, and historic adventurers. Travellers can choose to journey from Sydney to Perth or vice versa. Although the train runs on the same line, each direction offers quite different excursions from outback towns to wineries, breathtaking mountains to massive mining operations.
Whichever direction you choose to travel on the Indian Pacific Rail Journey, you’ll encounter wonderful people, places, and culture along the way. As well as the ever-changing scenery from your window, there are off-train experiences at many interesting destinations.
Heading from Perth, the train calls into the township of Kalgoorlie. There’s a fascinating night tour of Hannan's North Tourist Mine and a visit to the Super Pit which is so large it can be seen from space!
If taking the Indian Pacific Rail journey from Sydney to Perth, a stop at Broken Hill offers a drag show at the Palace Hotel where scenes from Priscilla Queen of the Desert were filmed.
In Adelaide, enjoy a progressive breakfast at Central Market or visit the Barossa Valley wine region. In the Blue Mountains walk the Scenic Skyway with spectacular views of the famous Three Sisters, then onto the Jamison Valley and Katoomba Falls.
