EXPLORE AUSTRALIA BY TRAIN

Australia by Train

It’s north to south, east to west of ever-changing landscapes, culture and people. While there are many ways to see it, there’s only one way to do it with ease and in comfort. That’s the fabulous fun of rail travel, where everything comes together in a theatre-like performance.

Onboard, the stage is set as your backdrop whistles by. Familiar and friendly service leads the way, with every moment another glorious memory in this spectacular show – the food, the cabins, the Outback Explorer Lounge, the friends you make, the Off Train Experiences, the sunrises and sunsets, did we mention the food?

It’s a journey of truly epic proportions and it’s made easy with Journey Beyond.

Brothers Charles and Carl have been working for Journey Beyond for nearly two years. Charles was already working on train when he saw that Journey Beyond was looking for Hospitality Attendants and thought his brother would be the perfect fit! Not long after, Carl went on his first journey and Charles asked his Journey Manager Tom if Carl could be “adopted” into their crew. As to be expected, people always got the two of them mixed up! Guests would call Charles ‘Carl’ and Carl ‘Charles.’ 

On Carl’s sixth journey the two brothers were placed in the same section on train, this was very confusing for guests – asking one brother for something, and then having the other have no idea what they were talking about. However, the two of them played into this a little bit and would sometimes swap name badges and get everyone confused, even the other crew members!

We’d love to hear if you’ve had the opportunity to travel on board with Charles & Carl.

Journey Manager Thomas believes in positive affirmation, leading his team with the quote “We know what we do, and we do it well”. And do it well they definitely do! 

He delights in delivering exceptional service and seeing how the Off Train Experiences contribute to the guest journey. He says his highlight is “…seeing the smiles when guests return to the train talking about the wonders they have witnessed and been a part of.”
