The Indian Pacific, Great Southern Rail Luxury Train / Travel Australia
While travelling on the Trans-Siberian railway we fell in love with long distance train travel. So we were absolutely ecstatic when we were invited to travel on The Indian Pacific from Adelaide to Sydney. Not only do we get to experience a world class train journey but we get to see our much loved Australian outback from a whole new perspective.

In 2018 we said goodbye to our jobs, sold all our belongings, and left Australia on a one-way ticket to Shanghai with just each other and our backpacks. What followed was 8 months of full time travel across 13 countries and 104 travel vlogs - you can watch all our videos here
What's next? More travel! We well and truly have been bitten by the travel bug and we can't get enough, so expect more travel videos coming your way!

INDIAN PACIFIC TRAIN Review – Luxury Train Travel with Great Southern Rail, Australia
Full article:
The iconic transcontinental journey aboard one of Australia's most iconic luxury trains: Great Southern Railway's Indian Pacific Train.
Soundtrack: Eagle Rock by Wes Hutchison
The journey starts in Perth and first passes through the lovely Avon Valley before reaching more remote regions. The first day ends with a visit to the old gold mining town of Kalgoorlie, including a city tour and a bird's eye view of the saw called Super Pit, a 3.6km wide open cut gold mine that operates 24/7.
Overnight the Indian Pacific luxury train travels into the Nullarbor Plain, named after the Latin null'arbor = no tree.
Midday reaches the small dwelling of Cook, once a thriving town of 200 literally in the middle of nowhere, but now reduced to a refueling stop for the Indian Pacific train and a population of 5. The vastness of the Australian continent becomes apparent on this day especially.
Overnight the luxury train journey reaches Adelaide and the next morning begins with a city tour and excursion to Mount Lofty with spectacular views. From their Great Southern Rail continues through the Barossa Valley, a famous wine region and on to Broken Hil for the final excursion on this trip.
The next morning, the Indian Pacific luxury train passes through the mythical Blue Mountains and finally reaches Sydney at midday.
Luxury Train travels are a wonderful way to see beautiful scenery while enjoying style and pampering. The Indian Pacific and Ghan train offer that kind of exquisite experience in both their Gold and Platinum classes. Each cabin is fitted with private bathrooms and all meals and drinks are included as well as all off-train excursions.

A trip onboard The Overland; Melbourne - Adelaide Passenger Train
The iconic Overland passenger train is an interstate passenger train service operating between the cities of Melbourne and Adelaide. Operating since 1887, the train transverses 858km on its 10 and a half hour journey between the two cities. The train is operated by Journey Beyond (aka Great Southern Rail) with NR Class locomotives leased from freight operator Pacific National.
In this video we take a ride onboard The Overland from Melbourne to Adelaide. We sample the onboard service in both the standard 'red' economy class and the 'red premium' first class to see what it's like to travel onboard the train.
On the trip to Adelaide we pass through numerous country towns, see the food onboard and witness lovely scenery including a large bushfire.
The Overland has been serving passengers for over 132 years. However it's future is currently uncertain. Unlike Journey Beyond's other long distance trains such as The Ghan and the Indian Pacific which targets the long distance luxury tourist market, The Overland acts as a form of public transport, making intermediate stops in small country towns and offering more affordable fares. However because of this The Overland isn't profitable and relies on government subsidies to continue operating.
However over time it's patronage has dwindled due to competition from air travel. The service today is a shadow of its former self; The Overland currently operates twice weekly whereas prior to 2013 the service ran daily. In 2019 The Overland was threatened with closure after the South Australian government withdrew it's share of funding. For the past 12 months The Overland has been completely subsidised by the Victorian government; of which the funding is now running out. If a new funding deal isn't reached then The Overland may cease to operate at the end of December 2019.
