It’s difficult to think of a better way to appreciate the diversity of Australia than embarking on an epic transcontinental journey aboard the Indian Pacific. Whether you’re journeying from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific or the other way round you’ll be making your way across the longest stretch of straight railway track in the world.

You will journey across the barren expanse of the Nullabor Plain, to lush vineyards and vast goldmines and through the heights of the majestic Blue Mountains. From cities of 4 million to ghost towns of just four citizens.
