Discover Sydney, Broken Hill, Adelaide and fascinating Nullarbor Plain
Embark on one of the world’s greatest transcontinental rail adventures with a luxurious Indian Pacific journey from Sydney to Perth. Begin with an extended stay in the heart of Sydney, exploring world-famous attractions like the Sydney Opera House, Hyde Park Barracks and a Showboat Dinner Cruise. Then settle into the comfort of the Indian Pacific as you glide across the country, from the heights of the Blue Mountains to the golden sands of the Nullarbor Plain. Along the way, enjoy off-train experiences in Broken Hill, Adelaide and Rawlinna, sample world-class wines in the Barossa or McLaren Vale, and marvel at the changing landscape from cityscape to outback. Gourmet dining, fine wines and unforgettable moments await on this epic journey from east to west.

Prepare for your first off-train experience in Broken Hill, the Silver City. Explore mining heritage at the Broken Hill Trades Hall and Miners Memorial or enjoy a vibrant local tour with Drag Queen sensation Shelita Buffet.

Back onboard, enjoy breakfast and continue south-west to Adelaide. Later, take another off-train experience exploring Adelaide’s cultural icons or the renowned Barossa and McLaren Vale wine regions or the charming Adeliade Hills village Hahndorf.

Day 6. Arrival to Perth (B)
Wake to views of vast salt lakes as the Indian Pacific follows the golden pipeline towards Perth. Savour a final brunch while admiring the rolling landscapes of the Avon Valley. A light afternoon tea is served before arriving in Perth, concluding your unforgettable journey across the continent.
