Indian Pacific Railway Journey

Itinerary

As the name implies, the Indian Pacific gives you two oceans on one of the world’s longest and greatest train journeys.

But most of your cruising will be across the vast continent of Australia. At the Nullarbor, where the train travels the world's longest straight stretch of railway track (478 kilometres), you will see unique landscapes unfold and spot a fascinating array of wildlife from the comfort of the lounge or your cabin.

During the journey from Perth to Adelaide you'll have two 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 gold rich Kalgoorlie. A remote outpost on the Nullarbor Plain called Cook, population 2, presents a further opportunity to stretch your legs.
