The best way to see Australia is by train - traversing inspirational landscapes, while enjoying impeccable service and off train experiences that delight the senses and ignite your adventurous spirit.

And that's exactly what you get when you hop aboard one of Journey Beyond's iconic train journeys, travelling to different parts of the vast Australian continent on the legendary Ghan, Indian Pacific or Great Southern.

These multi-day journeys are truly a must-do experience that provide an enriching encounter of culture, taking travellers deep into the Australian outback, across the Nullarbor and along rugged coastlines, discovering Australia by train.

The unique nature of these train journeys means travellers can revel in opulent comfort while embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, with curated experiences designed to immerse guests in authentic Australian culture.

These all-inclusive train journeys means everything is taken care of, including regionally inspired multi-course meals, soft drinks, barista coffee, fine wines and beer.

Imagine waking up in beautifully appointed cabins to coffee and breakfast while the red dust and gumtrees of the Australian outback roll past your window. These are landscapes so difficult to reach via any other means of transport, but you've just awoken to them.

Experience iconic townships like Katherine, Coober Pedy, Alice Springs, Broken Hill, Kalgoorlie and the Hunter Valley Region.

Enjoy off train experiences that allow you to explore Australia in intimate detail, like the Nitmiluk Gorge cruise, where you'll visit an Indigenous rock art site, or a wine tasting in the Hunter Valley.

Finish a day of adventure with dinner under the stars at the historically rich Telegraph Station - where the township of Alice Springs was established back in 1871, or enjoy drinks and canapes around a bonfire, deep in the Nullarbor.

It's these surreal experiences of culture that are possible with a trip on The Ghan, Indian Pacific or the Great Southern.

The Ghan takes travellers on a journey between Adelaide and Darwin, showcasing the beauty of the diverse Australian outback; the Indian Pacific embarks on the barren terrain of the Nullarbor between Sydney and Perth, and the Great Southern takes on the coastline between Brisbane and Adelaide, on the ultimate summer adventure (running from December to February only).

Journey Beyond has recently launched the 2024 season. To take the adventure of a lifetime in 2024, head to journeybeyondrail.com.au
