Rail Australia
Train tickets and passes for Australia...
There are some great train journeys in Australia, most notably the Indian Pacific train which takes you all the
way from Sydney, through the Blue Mountains via Broken Hill and Adelaide and across the Nullarbor Desert to
Perth.
Australia is a big place!
Many people choose train travel for the big journeys, as it is quicker and more
comfortable than by bus.
You can buy point-to-point train tickets like you would back home, or there are a number of brilliant rail passes on offer.
If you travel by train, you'll get comfy, reclining seats and big windows to take in the view.
You can wander around the train as you like, meeting new people, or head to the buffet car for a snack or drink.
If you're into train travel or just want to cross Australia's massive expanses in comfort, this is for you.
