Queensland roundtrip from Sydney by sleeper train and rail

Illustration of Treasures of Queensland Roundtrip from Sydney

Railbookers' Treasures of Queensland is a 9-day independent rail package that takes you from Sydney north into Queensland's tropical region and back. The journey begins with a sleeper train from Sydney to Brisbane, the state capital, then continues by rail to Cairns on the northeastern coast. Once there, you have time to explore the World's oldest tropical rainforest and visit the Great Barrier Reef before returning to Sydney by train. The package includes eight nights of accommodation and all rail travel, priced from USD 2,549 per person. This trip suits independent travelers who prefer to explore cities and attractions at their own pace without a guide, and those interested in experiencing Australian sleeper train travel for the first time.
