Experience Australia by Train

EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED
There’s nothing like putting down your suitcase and allowing your journey to simply unfold. Once you step aboard the train, you can relax, knowing everything has been considered and included in your fare. From world-class food and wine to a range of immersive Off Train Experiences, the hardest decision you’ll need to make is what to have for lunch and which experience to join.

A FEAST FOR THE SENSES
In addition to the comfort of your beautifully appointed cabin onboard, you’ll find yourself indulging in sumptuous cuisine, fine wines, and camaraderie in the dining carriages. Taking inspiration from the diverse environments the trains travel through, an expert culinary team works closely with local suppliers, farmers and providores to source the best ingredients, creating an innovative, regionally-inspired menu accompanied by all-inclusive fine wines and beverages.

OFF TRAIN EXPERIENCES
The beauty of experiencing Australia by train is that you have a front-row seat from which to observe the changing colours of the landscape. While the views of the outside world from the comfort of your cabin are captivating, sometimes it’s good to step off the train and stretch your legs to explore the remote pocket of Australia you find yourself in. In between tracing the landscape, each leg of your rail journey is marked with tailored Off Train Experiences and authentic encounters. These experiences tell the unique story of the land, providing a sense of place, people, and culture.

This is exploration redefined — sophisticated, immersive, and unforgettable.
