13-day escorted rail tour from Toowoomba to Brisbane through outback Queensland

Railway Adventures operates this 13-day escorted rail tour across outback western Queensland, starting in Toowoomba and finishing in Brisbane. A Tour Leader from Rail Mates Tours - Outback Aussie Tours accompanies the group for the full journey. The route runs from Toowoomba through Roma and the sandstone country of Carnarvon Gorge, on to the historic towns of Mitchell, Charleville and Quilpie, before reaching Longreach, a town linked to the pioneering history of the Australian outback. Charleville and Quilpie are noted for their starlit skies. The tour covers 12 nights of travel entirely by rail, with one departure currently listed for June 2026 at AUD 9,995 per person. This trip suits travellers drawn to Australia's remote outback towns and rail heritage, who want the sights arranged for them rather than navigating an independent itinerary.
