Introduction
Comfortable train travel brings the real Australia close to you in a way no other mode of transport can. Rail Australia, represented by Goway Travel, provides a convenient service between most major cities (please note that you cannot travel by train within Tasmania).
WHY GO BY RAIL?
Avoid the responsibilities of driving and the expense of flying, and save on accommodation costs with the sleeping berths available on most overnight services.
Since rail stations are centrally located, you can also save on airport transfers.
"Link up" several of Goway's Travelpacs by rail and create your own special itinerary. It's easy!
