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?

Biased? Maybe. Confident? Absolutely.
We believe Australia is best experienced by train. From north to south and east to west, our journeys reveal ever-changing landscapes, cultures and stories, taking you to places you never knew existed or places you thought you knew, only to discover they are even more extraordinary in person. With everything taken care of, all that’s left to do is sit back, watch the scenery unfold and let the journey become the destination.
