Australian RailTours Australian Rail Tours allows for independent traveling, sight-seeing, gastronomical delights, and comfortable accommodations. Two types of service available for all tours:
Gold Kangaroo Service (Premium Class)
The Indian Pacific Tour
The vacation begins the minute you step onboard. See Australia’s Red Centre while traveling along one of the world’s longest and straightest stretches of railway track. The Indian Pacific travels twice weekly in both directions. Sights to enjoy on this journey include the Blue Mountains and the Nullarbor desert. For an extra charge, Gold Kangaroo passengers have the option of off-train sight seeing during scheduled stops. This option is typically unavailable to Red Kangaroo passengers, unless extra slots are available. While you’re at it, try to spot the Australian wedge-tailed eagle whose wingspan can easily reach up to six feet. The Indian Pacific Tour offers great food, a friendly staff, and breathtaking scenery. This is by far the most relaxing way to explore Australia from coast to coast.

This route was created over 150 years ago by camels and thier handlers from Afghanistan. Since then, this permanent trail is now one of the best ways to experience the heart of Australia. Twice weekly, The Ghan goes from Adelaide to Darwin or from Darwin to Adelaide, you can enjoy the trail in either direction. Experience this living legend by spending two nights on board and see the colorful outback of Adelaide, Alice Spring's Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the Red Centre, and the tropical environment of Darwin. Off-train touring is also available on The Ghan for Gold Kangaroo passengers upon reaching Alice Springs. Typically, Red Kangaroo passengers don't have the off-train tour option. However, in the event that there is space on the tour, Red Kangaroo passengers will be given the opportunity to purchase a ticket for the tour.

The Overland offers a daylight service between Adelaide, South Australia’s center of commerce and seat of government, and Melbourne, home to some of Australia’s best shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.
