The Indian Pacific, Perth to Adelaide

Experience timeless travel on this epic 3 day, 2 night journey between two great cities, traversing half way across the bronzed lands of the continent in comfort and style. Soak up the tremendous beauty of The Nullarbor and the rolling slideshow of arid desert plains, rugged mountains and world-renowned wine regions, with awe-inspiring off train experiences along the way.
Be immersed in the spectacular interior landscape of Australia, by which there's no better way than the romance of rail.

Your adventure kicks off with a warm welcome gathering, marking the start of your incredible journey across the country and along the world’s longest stretch of straight railway. Settle in for a leisurely afternoon as you get acquainted with your fellow travelers aboard the iconic Indian Pacific. As the train glides away from Perth, leaving the Indian Ocean behind and heading towards the Pacific, enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the rails. Later, indulge in a delicious onboard dinner showcasing contemporary Australian cuisine, expertly crafted with seasonal, regional ingredients.

Wake up to a breathtaking sunrise over Australia’s largest outback town, Kalgoorlie. This morning, step back into the gold rush era and uncover the fascinating history sparked by Paddy Hannan’s 1893 discovery, one of the most significant in Australian history. Visit the impressive Super Pit mine, a modern-day marvel that stands as a testament to the town’s golden legacy. Reboard the train later in the morning for a delightful brunch, then unwind for the rest of the day at your leisure. Relax and enjoy the exceptional hospitality as you gaze out at the vast, seemingly endless Nullarbor Plain. As the train crosses borders and time zones, entering South Australia before dinner, the journey continues. Later in the evening, the train stops in the near-deserted town of Cook, where you’ll enjoy a nightcap, a cozy bonfire, and a stargazing experience like no other.

Wake up early this morning as you travel past the many outback lakes near the remote towns of Tarcoola and Pimba, and watch as the landscape changes as you pass through the small coastal city of Port Augusta. Farewell the sunburnt outback as the sun rises and welcome the farming plains and rolling countryside. As the sun rises, enjoy a light morning snack of fresh fruits and pastries before arriving in the vibrant city of Adelaide. You'll disembark at the Adelaide Parklands Terminal, just 3km from the city center, making it a quick and easy drive to the heart of the Festival State.

Adelaide is South Australia’s cosmopolitan coastal capital. Its ring of parkland on the River Torrens is home to acclaimed museums such as the Art Gallery of South Australia, displaying expansive collections of Indigenous art, and the South Australian Museum, devoted to natural history. The world renowned Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale wine regions are within driving distance, along with stunning beaches, national parks and riverland, making Adelaide an ideal base to experience South Australia's beauty.
