Australia by Train
It’s north to south, east to west of ever-changing landscapes, culture and people. While there are many ways to see it, there’s only one way to do it with ease and in comfort. That’s the fabulous fun of rail travel, where everything comes together in a theatre-like performance.
Onboard, the stage is set as your backdrop whistles by. Familiar and friendly service leads the way, with every moment another glorious memory in this spectacular show – the food, the cabins, the Outback Explorer Lounge, the friends you make, the Off Train Experiences, the sunrises and sunsets, did we mention the food?
It’s a journey of truly epic proportions and it’s made easy with Journey Beyond.

In Beyond magazine 15, we share the story of Yanni Athanasiadis, an opal miner whose life is steeped in grit, character and a deep sense of belonging.
For many Ghan Expedition guests, a visit to Coober Pedy is an unforgettable outback stop. But for Yanni, it’s home – a place where life is lived underground, treasures are unearthed from the desert, and a resilient community thrives against the odds.
Step off the tracks and discover Yanni’s Coober Pedy in the latest edition of Beyond magazine. Order your free print copy or read it online via the link in bio.

This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the remarkable men in our lives and in doing so, wanted to share a special story from the tracks.
@margiewarrell recently returned home to celebrate her dad Ray’s 90th birthday aboard The Ghan. After losing his wife two years ago, Ray expressed that the journey was the only thing he really wanted to do – and together, they made it happen. From a helicopter ride over Nitmiluk Gorge to the simple joy of travelling through the outback by rail, Ray reminded Margie again and again that this was “the trip of a lifetime.”
To Ray, we wish a very happy belated Birthday and Father’s Day – and to Margie, thank you for sharing such a wonderful adventure with us.

Somewhere on the Nullarbor, around 1,000 kilometres east of Perth, the train slows to a stop. Out here, there are no towns in sight — just endless desert skies.
Our crew step off to transform this remote siding into something extraordinary: an open-air dining room under the stars. As courses are served and glasses filled, the outback itself becomes part of the experience.
This is Rawlinna — an unforgettable outback dinner, served beneath a blanket of stars and experienced only aboard the Indian Pacific`s westbound journey from October to March. ✨
