Perth - Kalgoorlie

Depart Perth through the barren expanse of the Nullarbor Plain, from cities of four million inhabitants to ghost-towns of just four citizens.

Onboard the Indian Pacific you will be accommodated in a Platinum Class cabin is configured as a private lounge by day with deluxe seating. By night, your accommodation converts to a comfortable bedroom with either a double or twin beds. All meals are served onboard in the Platinum Club.

First stop this evening is the wild west town of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, where you will tour the Hannan’s North Tourist Mine and visit the 3.6km wide Super Pit – an open-cut gold mine that has yielded riches 24 hours a day since 1989.

The Nullarbor

Upon waking, set your sights on the vast horizon beyond the window – you have arrived on the edges of the sweeping Nullarbor Plain. Big blue skies await you, the ancient stillness of the desert landscape broken only by a mob of friendly kangaroos or the occasional circling bird of prey. Tour the once-thriving Nullarbor railway community – now ghost town – of Cook.

Adelaide to Broken Hill

By morning’s light, your desert views have made way for the rolling South Australian countryside. Arriving in Adelaide, prepare yourself for an entertaining stop in a beautifully-designed city renowned for international arts festivals, pop-up bars, and laneway restaurants. Feast upon the sights, scents and tastes of the extraordinary Adelaide Central Market – a mecca for locally-grown produce, multicultural treats and unexpected gourmet delights. Over lunch, watch as pastures dissolve into tough mallee scrub on approach to Broken Hill. Known as the Silver City, Broken Hill is one of Australia’s legendary Outback bases defined by its wide streets, country pubs and ties with the Royal Flying Doctor Service and School of the Air. Here, you can visit the late Pro Hart’s art studio or head for the Miners’ Memorial where the stark reality of working in Broken Hill’s mines over the ages is writ large.

See the majestic Three Sisters at Echo Point and the views at Jamison Valley before completing your journey on our chartered NSW rail service (fully hosted by our staff) into Sydney Central Station.
