Your transcontinental adventure begins in Sydney where you board the Indian Pacific. Prepare for a journey of contrasts, from lush vineyards to vast goldmines, and majestic mountains to the barren expanse of the Nullarbor, from cities of four million to ghost towns of four. As the train winds through the breathtaking Blue Mountains, explore the comforts of life onboard, and get acquainted with your cabin and fellow travellers. After settling in, savour your first meal – a regionally-inspired dinner paired with all-inclusive fine wines and beverages. After dinner, join fellow guests for a late-night drink or head back to your cabin for your first night onboard.
You arrive in the ‘Silver City’ of Broken Hill as the day begins, where you embark on a morning of Experience to discover the mining history and artistic culture of this unique town where the streets are wide and there’s a pub on every corner. Lunch is served onboard as the Indian Pacific enters the southern tip of the spectacular and ancient Flinders Ranges. Arriving in the city of Adelaide in the afternoon, you have the choice of a tour of the city, a visit to the world-famous Barossa Valley or McLaren Vale wine regions (seasonal), or a trip to the beautiful Adelaide Hills featuring the culinary delights of Hahndorf.
Feel free to choose 1 tour from below: (You can choose one Free Activity in Broken Hill, Adelaide or Barossa Valley)
Broken Hill was borne of the richness that lies beneath it and, in this far-flung region of Australia, mining was a tough and often dangerous business. Visit the Broken Hill Trades Hall, a heritage-listed building home to the city’s first labour movement. Enjoy a live performance by local actors showcasing the early mining story and life in Broken Hill. Under the ‘United We Stand’ banner, the Union successfully championed the 35-hour working week and created safer and fairer working conditions that Australian workers enjoy today,
The striking Miners Memorial that stands over the town is a constant and powerful salute to the more than 800 miners who’ve lost their lives working here.
Fittingly, the towering 54-metre structure dominates the city’s highest point on the Line of Lode remnant mullock dumps that traverse the city, and its east-west axis tracks the path of the rising and setting sun.
From your vantage on the lookout above the city, you’ll also enjoy the sweeping outback vistas and a unique view of the Indian Pacific stretched out below you.
On the western extremity of New South Wales, remote Broken Hill is an unlikely hotspot for creatives but this plucky township certainly has its place on the global art scene. So much so, that it attracted international artists to create a defining and permanent installation that beautifully blends its unique environment with its artistic legacy.
From October to March, guests can take a self-guided walk around the captivating Living Desert Sculpture site. The 12 imposing sandstone artworks, each with their own story to tell, sit on a majestic hilltop within The Living Desert Reserve that houses a 180-hectare flora and fauna sanctuary.
The Living Desert Sculpture site is a self-guided walk offering breathtaking views of the NSW outback and is the perfect location to capture some stunning photos.
*This tour operates from October to March
Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery is the oldest regional art gallery in New South Wales holding an important cultural position and role in the broader western New South Wales region.
The Emporium was associated with two well-known Broken Hill families, the Sullys (1885-1925) and the Sweetapples (1924-1985), and had its own livery stable and blacksmiths in the yard at the rear of the buildings. In 1998 the Broken Hill City Council purchased the building to provide a permanent home for Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery and the city’s art collection.
The Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery provides an annual program of locally curated exhibitions along with touring exhibitions from major cultural institutions. A selection of works from the collection is on permanent display in the upstairs gallery whilst the touring exhibitions fill the lower floor.
On display is an extensive collection of Australian colonial works including James Coutts Michie and James Ashton along with several important Victorian painters such as Arthur Hacker RA. The gallery also has a nationally recognised collection of early 20th century Australian paintings including works by Margaret Preston and Arthur Streeton through to contemporary works by Rick Amor, Charles Blackman, Arthur Boyd, Lloyd Rees, Barbara Hanrahan, Mandy Martin, Clifton Pugh, Tim Storrier, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Emily Kane Kngwarreye, David Malangi and many other fine Australian artists including Pro Hart.
Enjoy strolling the gallery and immersing yourself in this historic building and cultural artwork.
When the world fell in love with the blockbuster movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Broken Hill suddenly had more than mining and famous painters to put it on the map. Join the fun with a tour of the main drag with fabulous local Drag Queen sensation, Shelita Buffet.
This is a town tour with a difference, as Shelita educates and entertains on the mining history, iconic buildings, and art installations that represent the fascinating interfusion that makes up contemporary Broken Hill. From the Town Hall to the Police Station and the Palace Hotel to the Giant Ant Sculpture, you’ll catch all the highlights, presented with Shelita’s inimitable flair.
After disembarking in Two Wells, enjoy a scenic coach ride to one of the world’s premier wine regions, the Barossa Valley. The cool summers and rainy winters are perfectly suited to red wine production, with Shiraz and richly flavoured Cabernet the stand-outs.

Known as the place where the ‘vines meet the sea’, beautiful McLaren Vale is within easy reach of Adelaide and full of culinary surprises. A famous and prolific wine-growing region set along 30 kilometres of stunning coastline and ridges, McLaren Vale is also known for the warmth and friendliness of the locals who are always willing to share the secrets of the delicious wines produced here.
You’ll enjoy a wonderful cellar door experience at Coriole Vineyards, founded by Hugh and Molly Lloyd in 1967. The estate is located among the rolling hills and features Shiraz vines planted immediately after the end of the First World War.
Sample reserve wines while taking in the lush vistas toward the Fleurieu Bight. Your wine-tasting experience is accompanied by Coriole’s own olives and a selection of sophisticated Woodside artisan cow and goat’s milk cheeses. With your palate warmed up by the cellar door session, head to the Star of Greece restaurant for more amazing views of Gulf St Vincent and a sumptuous meal accompanied by regional produce and those signature McLaren Vale wines.
This charming village just 40 minutes from Adelaide is a little slice of Germany down under. In 1839, Captain Dirk Meinertz Hahn headed to the Adelaide Hills looking for a fertile country to start a new settlement. It wasn’t long before 200 German Lutheran migrants followed him and Hahndorf was born.
With the vineyards of the Adelaide Hills on its doorstep, Hahndorf has also become a gastronomic hotspot.
Enjoy a Cheese flight paired with the Grunthal Cider and a history of Udder delights and its establishment.
After you’ve indulged, you’ll head to the Haus – a German restaurant showcasing the best in local produce. Enjoy rousing entertainment as you tuck into a Bavarian-inspired dinner before returning to the Indian Pacific for your journey onward through the night.

Hidden in the vast interior of South Australia lies a ghost town that once bustled with life. Today, the town of Cook is home to lonely buildings and a population you can count on one hand – but in its heyday, the location was an important part of the development of Australia’s interior. Established in 1917, Cook was originally built as a support town for the railway, with more than 50 people helping to maintain the tracks. Alight and wander the remote, time-worn town for a slightly eerie, unique glimpse of pioneering Australia.
On the fringes of Australia’s biggest sheep stations, this little outpost on the Nullarbor Plain is pure jackaroo country. By car, Rawlinna is a five-hour trip from the nearest big town, Kalgoorlie. The Rawlinna Station is home to up to 80,000 sheep spread across 2.5 million acres. To put that into perspective, one paddock alone takes 8 hours to muster by plane.
During the Winter months, Platinum and Gold Service guests will be invited to disembark to partake in drinks, and canapes served around a bonfire under the wide Nullarbor skies.
In the warmer months (October through March), take it up a notch and enjoy dining under the stars – a unique outback dining experience like no other!
Breakfast is served as you glide through the mild skies and cool green vales of the Avon Valley on your way to Perth, arriving after an onboard lunch.
