As dawn breaks, the Indian Pacific glides across another border, revealing the legendary outback town of Broken Hill, the famed Silver City of New South Wales. Following a hearty breakfast, prepare to immerse yourself in the spirit of this iconic frontier.
A tapestry of adventures awaits your choosing. Delve into the region’s storied mining heritage at the Miners’ Memorial and Sulphide Street Railway and Historical Museum, or descend into the earth on a Daydream Mine tour for an authentic glimpse into the lives of early pioneers. For the artistically inclined, the Pro Hart Gallery invites you to a private ‘paint and sip’ session within the artist’s original studio. Culinary connoisseurs can indulge in a native ingredients masterclass with Chef Lee Cecchin, culminating in a spirited cook-off at The Old Salt Bush restaurant. Alternatively, witness the vibrant heart of Broken Hill with a lively main-street tour hosted by the incomparable Shelita Buffet, Queen of the Outback.
Return to the sanctuary of the train for a delightful lunch as the captivating landscapes of regional New South Wales unfold before you. As evening descends, savour a final, exquisite dinner on board, raising a glass to an unforgettable journey that has traversed the soul of Australia by rail.
Your final day dawns in the majestic Blue Mountains, a World Heritage–listed realm where soaring sandstone cliffs cradle valleys of fragrant eucalypt. After a final breakfast aboard the Indian Pacific, you will step into this extraordinary bushland to begin your Off Train Experience.
At Scenic World, a tapestry of iconic adventures awaits your choosing. Glide between clifftops on the Scenic Skyway, suspended above breathtaking ravines. Descend into the ancient Jamison Valley aboard the Scenic Cableway, or feel the thrill of the world’s steepest passenger railway. For those who prefer a gentler pace, embark on a guided walk to immerse yourself in the panoramic views, or indulge in a decadent high tea at the historic Hydro Majestic Hotel, where sweeping mountain vistas provide a truly unforgettable backdrop.
To conclude your magnificent journey, you will board our chartered New South Wales rail service, where the familiar, gracious service of your Indian Pacific crew will accompany you into Sydney’s Central Station. Should you prefer an earlier arrival, the option to remain on the Indian Pacific and reach Sydney before lunch is, of course, yours to choose.
Alternatively, forgo the Blue Mountains and stay onboard the Indian Pacific to travel directly to Sydney.

The tour operator is at the mercy of nature in all her beauty and all her fury. The tour operator will under no circumstance knowingly place at risk the health and well-being of our guests and guides. In the case of natural threats, acts of God and the like (e.g. bushfires, impassable snow, etc) the tour operator may need to cancel a walk with very little notice. In some cases, this can occur after the walk has commenced. The tour operator reserves the right to cancel any walk up to 60 days prior to departure if a minimum of 4 walkers are unable to meet for a tour. If the tour operator needs to cancel for any reason, the cost of the walk or any other costs associated with travel to the designated pick up point, overnight accommodation, meals, etc will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore we strongly recommend travel insurance be taken out prior to travel.Force Majeure'Force Majeure' means (without restriction) any event which Onlyluxe Travel or its third party providers could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid. Force Majeure covers events such as, but not limited to, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events beyond our control. In the case of Force Majeure Onlyluxe Travel will not accept liability, and reserves the right to change and cancel trips.EvacuationsIn rare circumstances, due to injury or unforeseen illness, the tour operator may need to evacuate you from a remote part of the walk. Helicopter evacuations are expensive and in most cases will be at a cost to the customer.For Australian residents, under the Australian Government Medicare Act, it is prohibited for any domestic travel insurance product to provide any financial reimbursement with regard to ambulance or air ambulance services. We therefore strongly advise our customers to take specific ambulance cover through their health insurance provider. Evacuation cost will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore it is also strongly recommended that our customers take out travel insurance to cover (amongst other things) the costs associated with evacuation.Travel InsuranceIn view of the heavy cancellation penalties applied to cancelled reservations in certain circumstances, we strongly recommends suitable travel insurance be purchased at the time the holding deposit is paid. We recommend insurance cover that covers any loss which may be suffered due to cancellation. We also strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance against loss of baggage and medical expenses.
