  • Welcome to Perth! Arrive and settle into your accommodation before enjoying the rest of the day at your leisure. Take this opportunity to explore the vibrant city at your own pace, from the beautiful Kings Park to the lively Elizabeth Quay or indulge in some shopping at the city’s diverse retail precincts.

  • Another day at leisure to further discover all that Perth has to offer. You might want to visit the iconic Swan River, take a trip to Fremantle for its historic charm, or relax on one of Perth’s stunning beaches. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or culture, Perth offers endless possibilities to tailor your perfect day.

  • Begin your afternoon with a welcome gathering to celebrate the start of your cross-country journey along the world’s longest stretch of straight railway track. After boarding the Indian Pacific, enjoy a relaxed afternoon meeting fellow travelers as you depart Perth, heading towards the Pacific. Later, indulge in a delicious dinner on board, featuring contemporary Australian cuisine with seasonal and regional flavours.

  • Wake up to the sunrise over Kalgoorlie, Australia’s largest outback town, and explore its gold-rush past with a visit to the Super Pit mine. Choose from a selection of Off Train Experiences before reboarding for brunch. Spend the afternoon relaxing on board, enjoying the hospitality and stunning views of the Nullarbor Plain as you cross borders into South Australia. In the evening, the train stops in the almost-ghost-town of Cook for a nightcap, bonfire, and stargazing experience.
  • Travel through South Australia’s pastoral lands, passing the Flinders Ranges, Spencer Gulf, and Adelaide Plains, with breakfast and lunch served on board. In the afternoon, disembark at Two Wells for a short transfer to the renowned Barossa Valley. Enjoy a signature dining experience at Seppeltsfield Winery, featuring a ‘Firing of the Barrel’ display and a food and wine pairing, including a special 100-year-old vintage Tawny tasting for Platinum guests. After dinner, return to the Indian Pacific and continue your journey through the night.
  • Arrive in Broken Hill, New South Wales, after crossing another border overnight. Enjoy a hearty breakfast before choosing from four Off Train Experiences, exploring the city’s rich history, art, and culture. After lunch on board, relax and take in the scenic views as the Indian Pacific travels through regional New South Wales. In the evening, enjoy dinner on board as you make the most of your final night aboard the train.

  • After breakfast, bid farewell to the Indian Pacific and head into the Blue Mountains, a World Heritage-listed area renowned for its dramatic sandstone ridges and native flora. Choose from Off Train Experiences like Scenic World’s Skyway, Cableway, or Railway, or enjoy a guided walk with stunning views. Both options culminate at Echo Point Lookout, where a light lunch is served. Finish your journey with a chartered New South Wales rail service to Sydney Central Station or stay aboard the Indian Pacific for a direct ride into the city.
  • Spend a relaxing morning at leisure before embarking on a Sydney Harbour Discovery Luncheon Cruise. Enjoy a couple of hours aboard a first-class vessel as you cruise past Sydney’s iconic landmarks such as the Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the Botanical Gardens.
