Indian Pacific Train Journey: Sydney - Adelaide - Perth
As the name implies, the Indian Pacific gives
you two oceans on one of the world’s longest and greatest
train journeys.
But most of your cruising will be across
the vast continent of Australia. From the spectacular Blue
Mountains to the treeless plains of The Nullarbor, where the
train travels the world’s longest straight stretch of
railway track (478 kilometres), you will see unique landscapes
unfold and spot a fascinating array of wildlife from the comfort
of the lounge or your cabin.
The journey from Sydney to Perth covers 4352kms
and in either direction you’ll have three nights aboard
the great train. There are many things to see along the way
as you cross this vast continent. And you can get up close
and see many of them when you enjoy an optional off-train
sightseeing tour. The great train offers these tours during
scheduled stops at Broken Hill, Adelaide and gold rich Kalgoorlie.
A remote outpost on the Nullarbor Plain called Cook, population
2, presents a further opportunity to stretch your legs.
All along the Indian Pacific route, keep
your eyes peeled for a sighting of the magnificent Australian
wedge tailed eagle, the symbol of this great train. It’s
massive wingspan of up to two metres will make it easy to
spot in a clear desert sky. |
