Australia Rail Travel Ideas Vacations


  • Gold Service Cabin

In a bygone era, travelling by train was a way of life. Now, it's a relaxing, enjoyable way to see so much more of the landscape while travelling in comfort. You can sit back and watch the passing scenery through enormous panoramic windows. There's a spectacular range of scenery waiting for you Downunder – outback, rugged coastlines and rolling hills, winding rivers, towering mountains, virgin bush, and untouched landscapes – much of which you'd never get to see from the road. Generally, with rail travel, you will avoid the responsibilities of driving and the expense of flying. You will also save on accommodation costs with sleeping berths available on some overnight services. Another saving is airport transfers, since most rail stations are centrally located, rail travel now offers the ability to take in passing vistas while eating, reading or just relaxing.
