The Rail Experience
Immerse yourself in the timeless wonders of rail travel and discover the beauty and diverse landscapes
on offer as you wind your way across Australia. The Ghan and Indian Pacific offer memorable experiences,
superior hospitality and a real sense of discovery and adventure.
Travel in style and comfort aboard The Ghan or Indian
Pacific in Platinum or Gold Service and take advantage of
the many facilities and services on offer. All on board meals,
beverages and Off Train Experiences are included in your
fare. Sit back and enjoy the rail journey and discover the
destinations along the way with truly memorable off train
adventures.
Your holiday starts the moment you step on board. Check-in
on the train and relax with a drink in the Outback Explorer
Lounge up to 90 minutes before your journey. Make yourself
comfortable, and meet your host and fellow travellers.
On the Indian Pacific, an Outback Experience at Rawlinna on
the Nullarbor Plain is scheduled for all westbound journeys.
On The Ghan, Outback Experiences are scheduled for Marla
and Manguri in the far northern reaches of South Australia
(depending on direction of travel).
Off Train Excursions and
Outback Experiences
Off Train Excursions offer extended stops of between two
and six hours at key destinations. Choose from a selection
of organised tours as part of your rail holiday. On The Ghan
there’s time to take a tour of the Outback town of Alice
Springs, explore an oasis of history, Indigenous culture and
natural beauty. Choose from one of two included excursions
that explore this region including a tour of Alice Springs
Desert Park or Alice Explorer town tour. In the Top End, you’ll
witness the splendour of Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National
Park. The Ghan Expedition (4 days), operating Darwin to
Adelaide between August and October, also includes a full
day Off Train Excursion to the fascinating underground mining
town of Coober Pedy.
Take advantage of the Off Train Experiences and capture
the colour, character and culture of the Outback towns
along the route. Enjoy two types of Off Train Experiences –
Outback Experiences and Off Train Excursions. Both Outback
Experiences and Off Train Excursions are included in all
Platinum and Gold Service fares.
On the Indian Pacific, Off Train Excursions are available at
Broken Hill, Adelaide and Kalgoorlie. Explore the heritage
and culture of the ‘Silver City’ Broken Hill and indulge in an
abundance of food, wine and history in the elegant South
Australian capital of Adelaide. On westbound journeys, choose
to visit the world-renowned Barossa Valley wine region.
Experience culinary excellence in the Queen Adelaide
Restaurant where dynamic contemporary Australian menus
reflect the finest produce sourced from the regions through
which the train travels. Wines are chosen to compliment
these local specialities. All standard wines, beer, soft
drinks and spirits are included with your Platinum and
Gold Service fares.

The Ghan Rail Journey
Outback Experiences
Embark on one of the great train journeys of the
world, travelling between Adelaide, Alice Springs
and Darwin. Pass steep escarpments, savannah
woodlands and tropical rainforests and watch the
desert landscape change from red to gold over three
unforgettable days. A journey on The Ghan can
commence in Adelaide, Alice Springs or Darwin.
Outback Experiences are a great way to stretch your legs
during the journey. Witness an unforgettable sunrise at
Marla on the Adelaide to Darwin journey and an amazing
Outback sunset at Manguri when travelling Darwin to
Adelaide.
Board The Ghan in Adelaide and marvel at the
sweeping Adelaide Plains and take in the view of the
majestic Flinders Ranges as you wind your way to
Alice Springs. Leave the train in Alice Springs to enjoy
an Off Train Excursion. Experience an oasis of history,
Indigenous culture and natural beauty in the Outback
town of Alice Springs.
On The Ghan there’s time in iconic Alice Springs where
you can tour the town, get up close to native wildlife
or trek to some of the Red Centre’s most stunning
landmarks. In the Top End, you’ll witness the splendour
of Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park with a choice
of excursions available giving you access to some of the
region’s most knowledgeable guides. Exceptional food,
wine and service are all part of your outback adventure
when you travel aboard The Ghan.
Back on the train, your journey to the lush tropics
of the Top End continues. Next stop, Katherine,
where you will have around four hours to witness the

INDIAN PACIFIC EXPERIENCE
Indian Pacific Rail Journey
Indian Pacific Timetable
The mighty Indian Pacific traverses Australia from coast
to coast, between the sparkling waters of the Indian
and the Pacific Oceans.
Setting off from Perth, your train climbs through
the scenic Avon Valley and into Western Australia’s
expansive wheat belt before arriving at the first stop in
Kalgoorlie. There is plenty to see and do in this historic
town with its old pubs, heritage architecture and the
extraordinary floodlit Super Pit goldmine. Witness
Australia’s vast open spaces as you cross the Nullarbor
Plain, before a brief stop at Cook, one of the world’s
most isolated townships with a population of just four.
The city of Adelaide is your next stop and it’s here you
can choose to break your journey or take an Off Train
Excursion and indulge in an abundance of food, wine
and history. Continue on to Broken Hill and learn of the
town’s mining history on an Off Train Excursion. Make
your way through the spectacular Blue Mountains to
your final destination of Sydney.
