Indian Pacific

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

At A Glance

When 10,000 people crowded into the East Perth Terminal in 1970 to herald the first unbroken rail journey across the country – a new, seamless connection between the Indian and Pacific Oceans – Australian history was forever changed. Now, you can experience this incredible 4,352-kilometre crossing, one of the world’s great rail journeys, aboard the Indian Pacific. An adventure of contrasts, the journey encompasses the sheer peaks of the Blue Mountains to the barren expanse of the Nullarbor, and every goldmine, ghost town and grape vine in between. From inside and outside your cabin, you’ll be entranced by the timeless beauty of this spectacular country.
