Journey Beyond with Australia’s Great Train Journeys 

Based in Adelaide, South Australia, Great Southern Rail has owned and operated The Ghan and Indian Pacific since 1997 when it became the first transcontinental rail business to be privatised in Australia.

There are few experiences quite like Australia’s Great Train Journeys operated by Great Southern Rail.

Imagine looking out your window as kangaroos hop across the vast Red Centre or as the morning light breaks over the peaks of the majestic Blue Mountains. More than simply a mode of transport, a rail journey is a truly unique and unforgettable holiday experience. While other travellers rush from point-to-point at 35,000 feet above the ground, a rail journey offers an intimate perspective of the incredible country you are crossing.

While the incredible interior of the continent stretches before you, you are invited to share the spirit of expedition with your fellow travellers over a glass of wine, regional cuisine and time spent in amazing destinations along the route.

Whether you seek adventure or relaxation as an independent traveller, as a couple or as part of a group, The Ghan and Indian Pacific are just the ticket for a journey beyond the ordinary.
