Brisbane to Alice Springs, and Uluru

11-day rail journey from Brisbane to Alice Springs and Uluru

Railbookers runs this 11-day, 10-night independent rail package across Australia, built around what the operator calls two of the world's best trains. The trip starts with a train from Brisbane to Sydney, where a day is set aside for exploring the Blue Mountains. From Sydney, the Indian Pacific carries travelers through the scenery of New South Wales and South Australia to Adelaide, where the trip highlights the vineyards that make the city a food and wine destination. The Ghan then continues north to Alice Springs before the trip heads on to Uluru in Australia's Red Centre. Because this is an independent package, travelers move through each stage without a group leader. It suits travelers who want the train journeys themselves, not just the destinations, to be the focus of the trip. Railbookers prices the package from $4,399 USD per person. The evidence available does not describe how the Uluru portion of the trip is reached from Alice Springs.
