5 Days & 4 Nights
Check out this amazing Indian Pacific Perth to Sydney Itinerary. By embarking on this transcontinental journey, you’ll be following in the footsteps of those who have dared to venture beyond the city limits – the legendary adventurers, gold rush prospectors and bush pioneers who forged their lives in Australia’s spectacular yet unforgiving interior.
Your afternoon begins with a welcome gathering, in celebration of the start of your journey across the country and along the world's longest stretch of straight railway track.
Settle into your cabin as the Indian Pacific pulls away from Perth, leaving the Indian Ocean behind and cruising toward the Pacific. Spend a relaxed evening getting to know your fellow travellers over dinner. Served on board, the menu features contemporary Australian cuisine with seasonal and regional flavours.
Wake to the sunrise over Australia’s largest outback town, Kalgoorlie. This morning, explore the town’s rich history and vibrant present with a visit to its gold-rush heritage and the modern-day Super Pit mine. Choose from a range of Off Train Experiences, complete with morning refreshments.
Reboarding the train mid-morning for brunch, the remainder of the day is spent on board at your leisure. Sit back and enjoy the hospitality as you take in spectacular views of the seemingly endless expanse of the Nullarbor Plain. You'll cross borders and time zones, entering South Australia before dinner. Late evening, the train will pull into the almost-ghost-town of Cook for a nightcap and late-night bonfire experience under the Nullarbor sky.
Spend the morning travelling through the pastoral lands and communities of remote South Australia as the Indian Pacific travels past the Flinders Rangers, Spencer Gulf and the Adelaide Plains.
Breakfast and lunch are both served on board. Mid-afternoon, the train pulls into Long Plains, where you'll disembark and transfer in comfortable coaches to the world-renowned, wineproducing region of the Barossa Valley. You'll spend the evening at Seppeltsfield Estate, delighting in a signature dining experience in the vintage cellar, exclusive to Indian Pacific guests.
A 'Firing of the BarreP display is part of the evening, as well as a food and wine pairing curated by Executive Chef Owen Andrews, highlighting regional produce and traditional methods that reflect the story of the Barossa. Here, Platinum guests are also treated to a special 100-yearold tawny tasting experience. After dinner, you'll return to the Indian Pacific, continuing your rail journey through the night.
During the night, you’ll cross another border and wake in Broken Hill, New South Wales. After a hearty breakfast, get ready to explore the Silver City.
Learn about the town’s unique heritage with visits to the Miners’ Memorial and the Sulphide Street Railway and Historical Museum, or head underground on a tour of the historic Daydream Mine for a glimpse into the life of early miners.
Art lovers can channel their creativity at the Pro Hart Gallery with a ‘paint and sip’ session, creating a personal masterpiece in Pro’s original studio. Food enthusiasts can join Chef Lee Cecchin at the Living Desert State Park to discover native plants, taste spices, and take part in a mini pavlova cook-off at The Old Salt Bush restaurant. For something completely different, enjoy a lively main street tour with Shelita Buffet, Queen of the Outback.
After returning to the train for lunch, watch the scenery unfold as the Indian Pacific makes its way through regional New South Wales. Tonight, enjoy your final onboard dinner as you savour your last night of this incredible Australian rail journey.
The Blue Mountains, famed for their towering sandstone cliffs draped in native bushland, form your final stop before reaching Sydney. After breakfast, bid farewell to the Indian Pacific and head deep into this World Heritage-listed region for an Off Train Experience.
At Scenic World, enjoy four extraordinary adventures—from the Scenic Skyway, offering 360-degree views as it glides over ancient ravines, to the Scenic Cableway descending through the forest to the valley floor, and the Scenic Railway, the steepest passenger railway in the world. Alternatively, take a guided walk to soak in breathtaking vistas or indulge in a high tea at the Hydro Majestic Hotel while admiring sweeping mountain views.
End your journey aboard our chartered New South Wales rail service, hosted by the Indian Pacific crew, into Sydney Central Station. For those who prefer an earlier arrival, remain on the Indian Pacific for a direct trip to Sydney, reaching the city before lunch.
