Indian Pacific
The Indian Pacific is one of the world's longest train journeys travelling trans-continentally coast to coast between Sydney on the Pacific Ocean through the Blue Mountains and across the treeless plains of The Nullarbor to Perth on the Indian Ocean.
There are many things to see along the way as you cross this vast, spectacular country with scheduled stops and optional sightseeing tours en route including the 'Silver City' mining town of Broken Hill, metropolitan Adelaide, gold-rich Kalgoorlie and Cook a remote outpost on the Nullarbor Plain which has a population of just two! The Indian Pacific travels twice a week in either direction, covers 4352kms and takes two days/nights between Perth and Adelaide and one between Adelaide and Sydney.
