Come for a trip on Australia's most epic railway journey, The Indian Pacific, all the way from Sydney to Perth via Adelaide and the Nullarbor.
This is a four-day, three-night 4352km journey traverses mountain ranges, arid deserts as well as the longest straight stretch of railway in the world, all in air-conditioned comfort with sumptuous three-course meals.
Named for the two oceans the train encounters on its journey, the Indian Pacific travels between Perth, Adelaide and Sydney on a spectacular 4352km crossing.
Find out why this transcontinental train is considered one of the world's great railway journeys.
The Indian Pacific is operated by Journey Beyond Rail.
