Itinerary

Operates Sundays from Adelaide throughout the year, (plus Wednesdays June to August only).

Departing Adelaide, what lies ahead is rugged, beautiful and spectacular — through the Red Centre to the tropical north of Australia. Before long some of the oldest rock formations in the world, the Flinders Ranges, come into view. As darkness envelops the rugged outback, it’s time to indulge in a multi-course regionally-inspired dinner and fine wines.

Begin with a freshly brewed coffee or juice as you take in the stunning sunrise in outback South Australia. All aboard for brunch as we make your way through the MacDonnell Ranges to Alice Springs where a choice of Off Train Excursions awaits. Alice is an iconic Red Centre outpost – home to the Flying Doctor, rivers that run dry and a cast of colourful characters.

Our final day dawns in the tropical north. In Katherine, cruise Nitmiluk Gorge, learn more about Indigenous rock paintings and culture, or learn working dog tricks on your selected Off Train Excursion. This evening we arrive in Darwin to complete your Australian journey.

N.B: This service operates from Darwin - November 2020, February 2021 and March 2021 only.

From Darwin, take in the Top End views before stopping in Katherine for an afternoon of touring.

Next stop is Alice Springs, where more Off Train Excursions await. Explore Simpsons Gap, tour the town attractions, or get up close to some of the Red Centre’s native wildlife. Dinner on the train is followed by an extraordinary evening experience in the outback where you will see the Milky Way like you have never seen it before. Simply breathtaking.

In the morning, you are greeted with breakfast and views of the dramatic and ancient Flinders Ranges, before passing through the mid north of South Australia for a late-morning arrival in Adelaide.
