Leaving Adelaide behind, relax, unwind, and enjoy world-class service as stunning landscapes glide by.

Take in the spectacular scenery passing by your window, beginning in the magical Adelaide Hills and moving on to the gorgeous Grampians region in Victoria. Delve into the art, history and culinary culture of Canberra, discovering the nation’s capital, then feel the sand between your toes in the picturesque coastal town of Coffs Harbour, before rolling through northern New South Wales and finishing in sunny Brisbane.

Adelaide and the Grampians
Your East Coast summer adventure begins as the Great Southern's bright orange locomotive departs Adelaide. Settle into your cabin and enjoy morning tea and a leisurely lunch while watching the landscapes shift. In the afternoon, the train rolls into regional Victoria for your first Off Train Experience in the spectacular Grampians. Explore at your own pace: join a guided coach tour through Halls Gap with breathtaking vistas including Boroka Lookout, take a guided walk to Venus Baths, enjoy a cellar door tasting at Pomonal Estate or Fallen Giants, or discover WAMA Environmental Arts & Garden where art and nature meet at the edge of the national park. Return to the train and continue travelling up the east coast, with a delectable dinner on board.Great SouthernLD - 2
Canberra and Surrounds
Wake up to breakfast on board before stepping into the heart of the nation. Today is all about Canberra, Australia's political and cultural capital. Following a coach ride to the city centre, choose from curated Off Train Experiences: reflect at the Australian War Memorial, explore the halls of Parliament House, or wander through the National Portrait Gallery. Midday, gather at Old Parliament House for an exclusive lunch in this landmark setting. As afternoon turns to evening, return to the train for another gourmet dinner on board. Later, unwind with a nightcap in the lounge or your cabin as conversation flows with fellow travellers and the Great Southern carries north underneath the Milky Way.Great SouthernBLD - 3
Coffs Harbour and Surrounds
Linger over breakfast on board as the Great Southern arrives in Coffs Harbour where a day of coastal discovery awaits. Choose from Off Train Experiences that reveal the charm of this vibrant region. The Coffs Explorer travels up to Sealy Lookout, offering views from the Forest Sky Pier, before heading to the spectacular North Coast Regional Botanical Garden. Soak in the beach side vibe at the boutique Sunday Markets, explore market stalls, take a leisurely walk on the historic jetty, or enjoy local music. Alternatively, take a stroll from the Urunga Boardwalk to the Beach with a local Indigenous guide, who will help you spot native wildlife and teach about the history of the Gumbaynggirr people, with a demonstration of traditional tools and weaponry and the opportunity to see and taste bush tucker. After your Coffs Harbour morning, indulge in a final lunch on board before arriving into Brisbane, completing your coastal train journey.Great SouthernBL

Travel further when you're not travelling alone
Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.
Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.
- A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
- Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
- Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.
Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
