Australia's Great Southern Rail

Australia's Great Southern Rail offers you the golden ticket to unique train journeys of the world.

Boasting a fleet of four trains including the famous Ghan, The Indian Pacific, The Overland, and The Southern Spirit, the Great Southern Rail offers a choice of several scenic routes across the fascinating Australian terrain. Travel coast to coast from Sydney in the east, and meander the broad expanse of the Nullabor Plains to Perth in Western Australia. Western Australia is home to the Argyle Diamond Mines, endless miles of colorful wildflowers, and spectacular King's Park right in the heart of Perth. Western Australia was also home to Australia's darling, the late Heath Ledger.

Select the cabin to best suit your travel requirements; from a single berth recliner style bed, to the more luxurious private suite which will accommodate 8 people, and boasts full kitchen facilities. For a rail cruise north from beautiful seaside Adelaide in coastal South Australia, you will travel north to the tip of the Northern Territory, Darwin. This trip runs directly through Australia's 'red center' via Alice Springs. If you ever dreamed of seeing the scorched sands of Australia's rugged interior, this is the vacation for you. Your children will squeal with delight at the sight of wild horses, emus and the occasional camel who wander the open plains of Australia's arid outback.

The Great Southern Rail offers a combination of routes and destinations right across the country. Patrons may choose an under 35s adventure, a leisurely Pensioner's vacation with discounted fares, but all the fine extras, or take advantage of a great bargain and pick up a Track Pass for under $700. The OZ Tracks Pass allow six months to travel to 14 cities around the country; a great option for the spontaneous holiday maker.

For those who seek extra luxury, why not traverse the continent in lavish style with a Platinum Rail Cruise on board the majestic Southern Spirit. Enjoy being pampered with complimentary cabin service around the clock. Sit back and relax with a bottle of Australia's finest wine and an exquisite three course dinner. You may choose to dine in the Queen Adelaide Restaurant car, or go casual and hang out in the Outback Explorer Lounge. No matter which option you choose, there is something for every member of the family. Enjoy the splendor of the world famous Kakadu National Park, with its rain-forests and crystal clear waterways, or head through the center and visit Uluru, formerly known as Ayers Rock. You will be in awe of this amazing monolith, the largest in the world. The color of the rock changes in an instant as the warm desert sun sneaks lazily behind an occasional stray cloud.
