Sydney to Alice Springs and Uluru

Independent 9-day Australian rail trip on the Indian Pacific and Ghan

Illustration of Sydney to Alice Springs and Uluru

Railbookers sells Sydney to Alice Springs and Uluru as an independent rail package, meaning travelers make their own way rather than joining an escorted group. The trip runs 9 days and 8 nights, built around two named long-distance trains. It opens with the Indian Pacific, riding from Sydney through the Blue Mountains and across the scenery of New South Wales to Adelaide, where the evidence describes time to explore the vineyards that make the city Australia's foodie mecca. From Adelaide, the trip continues north aboard the Ghan train to Alice Springs, then further into the Red Centre for a night in the shadows of Uluru. The description available to us cuts off right after that point, so the final days of the trip are worth confirming with Railbookers. This trip suits travelers who want to ride two of the world's best known trains while also spending time in Adelaide's wine country and Australia's Red Centre.
