APT · Land Tour

Margaret River and Karri Valley Explorer with Indian Pacific Rail

Western Australia land touring combined with a four-night Indian Pacific crossing

APT runs this 10-day tour through Western Australia's southwest and across the country by rail, from Perth to Sydney. An expert APT Driver-Guide leads the first five days in a custom-designed 4WD vehicle, capped at 22 guests, taking in Margaret River's Leeuwin Estate winery, the Karri Forest's Pemberton Tram to the Cascades, and stays at the Pullman Bunker Bay Resort and the Karri Valley Resort. On day 6, travellers board the Indian Pacific in Perth for four nights in Gold Service, crossing the Nullarbor via Kalgoorlie, Cook, the Barossa Valley and Broken Hill, with a stop in the Blue Mountains before disembarking in Sydney. The Indian Pacific leg is not escorted by an APT Tour Director. It suits travellers who want a guided introduction to Western Australia's wine and forest country followed by a multi-day rail crossing between Perth and Sydney, rather than a fully escorted trip end to end.
