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.
From the spectacular Blue Mountains to the treeless plains of The Nullarbor,
where the train travels the world's longest straight stretch of railway
track (478 kilometres), see unique landscapes unfold and spot a fascinating
array of wildlife from the comfort of the lounge or your cabin.
Get up close and see the sights of some of our most famous outback towns
when you enjoy an optional off-train sightseeing tour.
The great train offers these tours during scheduled stops at Broken Hill,
Adelaide and gold rich Kalgoorlie. A remote outpost on the Nullarbor Plain
called Cook presents a further opportunity to stretch your legs.
All along the Indian Pacific route, keep an eye out for a sighting of the
magnificent Australian wedge tailed eagle, the symbol of this great train.
It's massive wingspan of up to two metres will make it easy to spot in a
clear desert sky.
