Indian Pacific transcontinental rail journey from Sydney to Perth

Journey Beyond Rail's Coast to Coast is a four-day, three-night transcontinental crossing aboard the Indian Pacific, with no hotel stays; you sleep aboard the train each night. Leaving Sydney's Central Station on Day 1, the train climbs through the Blue Mountains before dinner in the dining car. Day 2 brings an Off Train Experience at the Miners' Memorial in Broken Hill, followed by a choice of Adelaide experiences ranging from McLaren Vale wines to Adelaide Hills gin and cheese. On Day 3, the train crosses the Nullarbor Plain on the world's longest straight stretch of railway, stopping at the near-ghost town of Cook before a dinner under the stars at Rawlinna. Brunch over the Avon Valley on Day 4 precedes arrival in Perth. This suits food-and-wine and history-minded travellers who want a continuous, all-inclusive rail crossing of the Australian outback rather than a trip built around city stays.

What to know before you look closer

The advertised from-price of AUD 2,990 is lower than any cabin tier listed in the evidence, where the lowest named tier, Gold Premium Twin Cabin Advance Purchase, starts at AUD 3,990; confirm the exact cabin type at this price with Journey Beyond Rail.
This is a train journey only, from Sydney to Perth, with no accommodation included before Day 1 or after Day 4.
The Rawlinna dinner varies by season: a long-table dinner under the stars from September to May, or a bonfire with drinks and canapes in cooler months, so the specific experience depends on when you travel.
