Descriptions
Great Southern Train – Summer 2019-20
The new Great Southern train is sure to become as iconic as it’s sister train journeys The Ghan and Indian Pacific, but will only operate for a very limited time during summer 2019-20. Enjoy the same private cabins, dining experiences and friendly crew aboard this completely new railway journey, that uses the same rollingstock as the long-established and popular Ghan and Indian Pacific. Experience the same hallmark quality of off-train activities and escorted touring across these new spectacular locations. The Great Southern is different in each direction.
This package enables you to experience the ultimate Great Southern return journey so you can immerse your-self in both directions to the train:
Adelaide to Brisbane (2 nights, 3 days)
The Adelaide-Brisbane journey includes touring in The Grampians, Canberra and a special beachside dining experience on the Northern NSW Coast.
The Grampians
Explore one of Australia’s most stunning wilderness regions, boasting sandstone mountains, wildflowers, waterfalls and native fauna such as echidnas and wallabies.
Canberra
There’s more than just politics in our nation’s capital. While the jewel in Canberra’s crown is Parliament House, it is also home to landmarks such as the National Portrait Gallery, Australian War Memorial and the National Arboretum. There are plenty of opportunities to delve into this city’s art, history and culinary culture.
Northern NSW Coast & Brisbane
Enjoy brunch with stunning seaside views on the northern NSW coast - a stone’s throw from Coffs Harbour.
Brisbane to Adelaide (3 nights, 4 days)
The extended Brisbane-Adelaide journey gives you an extra night aboard the train and features a beachside dining experience on the Northern NSW Coast, as well as time spent in the stunning Hunter Valley wine region, regional Victoria and the incredible Twelve Apostles.
Brisbane & Northern NSW Coast
Watch the sun dip into the horizon as you dine to the sounds of the waves lapping on the shore. The Northern NSW Coast stretches across 90km of incredible sandy beaches and some of the best surfing breaks in the world.
Hunter Valley & Surrounds
Pass the Semillon and Shiraz! Take the time to meander through the picturesque Hunter Valley vineyards, home to world-renowned brands and family-run boutique cellar doors alike.
Regional Victoria & Twelve Apostles
Embrace the pastoral perfection of regional Victoria and its paddock-to-plate dining ethos. Ascend the dramatic cliff faces along which the famous Great Ocean Road passes and marvel at the Twelve Apostles – a majestic collection of crumbling pillars rising from the Southern Ocean.
