A fabled journey. Follow the path of bush pioneers, gold rush prospectors, and legendary adventurers as you make an epic transcontinental crossing aboard the Indian Pacific.

The Indian Pacific has been making its epic transcontinental crossing between the two oceans that lend it its name for more than half a century. Departing Sydney you’ll journey west, passing through the Blue Mountains, and stopping in Broken Hill and Adelaide along the way. Cross the incredible Nullarbor Plain and pause at Rawlinna, a little outpost in the outback where you’ll dine under a blanket of stars (seasonal). There’s no better way to experience the spectacular interior landscape of Australia.

Itinerary

Day 1- BOARD THE INDIAN PACIFIC IN SYDNEY

Departing Sydney’s Central Station mid-afternoon, leave city skylines and the fast-paced urban lifestyle behind. Get acquainted with your cabin and fellow travellers as the Indian Pacific heads west winding through the Blue Mountains. Relax in your cabin or socialise in the lounge, enjoying an afternoon tipple on request. Tonight, you will enjoy your first meal on board – a regionally inspired dinner paired with fine wine and beverages. After dinner, consider a nightcap in the lounge before you retire to your cabin. (D)

Day 2 - BROKEN HILL, MCLAREN VALE, ADELAIDE AND SURROUNDS

This morning, prepare for your first Off-Train Experience in Broken Hill, the Silver City. Enjoy light refreshments on your tour as you explore the rich mining heritage of the historic Broken Hill Trades Hall and the striking Miners Memorial overlooking the town. For a different perspective, join Shelita Buffet, Queen of the Outback, for a lively tour along the main drag.

Breakfast and lunch will be served back on board as the Indian Pacific enters the southern tip of the ancient Flinders Ranges.

Arriving in Adelaide in the late afternoon, you’ll have the opportunity to explore Adelaide and its surroundings. Choose to enjoy a taste of McLaren Vale with a guided wine tasting and indulgent meal at the iconic Star of Greece restaurant overlooking Gulf St Vincent. Opt for a cheese or gin tasting in the charming Adelaide Hills village of Hahndorf before feasting at Haus, a German restaurant showcasing the best in local produce. Immerse yourself in the heart of the city with Icons of Adelaide, featuring a behind-the-scenes tour and tasting at Coopers Brewery, a scenic city drive, and a teppanyaki dinner at Shiki, followed by a twilight stroll to Adelaide Oval. Alternatively, visit the Adelaide Central Market for a tour and exclusive sit-down dinner.

After dinner, return to the train to continue your journey west. (B,L,D)

Day 3 - NULLARBOR PLAIN

Today is all about those amazing outback views as you cross this famous stretch of the Australian interior, the Nullarbor Plain, on the longest stretch of straight railway track in the world. En route, the Indian Pacific calls in to Cook, once-bustling, now almost-ghost town that was originally built as a support town for the railway.

Travelling further west, the next stop is at Rawlinna on the fringe of Australia’s largest sheep station for a dinner under a thousand stars. You’ll arrive at sunset, where the quiet outpost of Rawlinna comes to life with an al fresco long table set up and a seat calling your name (Mar-Oct). During the Winter months, guests will be invited to disembark to partake in drinks and canapes served around a bonfire under the evening sky. (B,L,D)

Day 4 - PERTH

Admire the delightful undulations of the Avon Valley and enjoy a final brunch on board as the final stage of your transcontinental crossing unfolds. On arrival in Perth, take the opportunity to say goodbye to fellow travellers and the crew. You’ve just crossed 4,352 kilometres together on the Indian Pacific. (B)
