Great Southern

Exploring the vibrant southeast coast in truly exclusive style, Great Southern Rail links the spectacular cities of Adelaide and Brisbane.
Taking in the spectacular Grampians mountains, the nation’s capital of Canberra, the magnificent coastal scenery of New South Wales and the tropical reaches of Tangalooma, this is a journey that showcases some of South Australia’s highlights. Feel the excitement build as you set off on one of the world’s finest coast-to-coast crossings, which also happens to include the longest stretch of straight railway track in existence.
Enjoy the finest dining and beverages as you glide across the country, taking in the views of the diverse scenery from the comfort of your private cabin or enjoying convivial company in the lounge car - in the evenings it’s the perfect place for a nightcap before going to bed - before waking each morning to a new, exhilarating view.
