Description
Rail travel is perhaps the most romantic and memorable way of exploring Australia, allowing you to appreciate the vast scale and grand landscapes of this extraordinary country in luxurious comfort. Australia’s iconic trains - the Ghan, the Indian Pacific and the Sunlander - cover thousands of kilometres along coastlines and through the beautiful but forbidding ‘red centre’. This superb rail tour includes specially upgraded services on all three trains, and embraces highlights of Australia’s diverse cities, with stays in Sydney, Adelaide, Cairns and Brisbane, and the opportunity to discover the natural wonders of Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef.
