Board The Prospector High-Speed Train
See the rich red earth of the Goldfields and some of Australia’s whitest sand on this six-day journey through Western Australia’s Golden Outback. Travel by The Prospector high-speed train from Perth to Kalgoorlie and explore the heart of the state’s gold mining region, from the giant Super Pit to the Museum of the Goldfields. Head south through Norseman to Esperance, where rugged coastline and brilliant white beaches await in Cape Le Grand National Park. On the way home, stand beneath the famous Wave Rock at Hyden. This tour offers a memorable mix of gold rush history, wide open spaces and spectacular coastal scenery.
