The Indian Pacific

The Indian Pacific covers 4,352 km from Sydney to Perth - one of the longest rail routes in the world. The at least 25 shiny silver wagons, which come from American companies, are pulled by two diesel locomotives. Depending on how many wagons are attached, the train can have a length of around 410 to 690 meters.

On the journey with the Indian Pacific from Perth to Sydney, the program includes excursions to the mining town of Kalgoorlie, to Adelaide and to Broken Hill in the outback. These excursions are conducted in English.

The Ghan

The Ghan, whose name comes from The Afghanistan Express and is reminiscent of the Afghan camel drivers who used to transport goods in the outback, is now a rolling legend. The train travels 2,979 kilometers from Darwin in the north of the country to Adelaide in the south, or in the opposite direction, criss-crossing the Red Continent and passing through 4 climate zones along the way.

Gold Class compartment

In the Gold Class category, every passenger on both trains (The Ghan and The Indian Pacific) has a comfortable compartment with three seats during the day, which is converted into a sleeping compartment with two beds one above the other by the on-board staff in the evening.
The double compartment has a washbasin, shower/WC, closet and reading lamp. There is also a radio that can be used to listen to exciting audio commentaries.

Restaurant coach

All guests dine in the Queen Adelaide restaurant. In addition to a hearty breakfast, there is a 2-course lunch and 3-course dinner, with vegetarian options available. The Outback Explorer Lounge invites you to linger and enjoy stimulating conversations with your fellow passengers. The on-board staff are available around the clock to answer any questions you may have.
