Journey highlights
Leaving Sydney, pass through the Blue Mountains before crossing the countryside of New South Wales. Make an "Outback" stop at Broken Hill.  (You will be able to choose a short coach tour of the town whilst the train waits at the station, arranged on the train, or you can break your journey and spend more time exploring the Broken Hill area.)  Continue south to Adelaide, the "Festival City" and one of Australia's premium wine growing areas. Get ready for the Nullarbor Plain ­ flat and arid yet fascinating, with 478km of straight rail track, the longest in the world.  Arrive at Kalgoorlie, a pioneering gold mining town, and  finally, beautiful Perth.  You have come a long way - in fact Perth is closer to Singapore than it is to Sydney.
Important Luggage Information
40 kilograms of luggage may be conveyed free of charge in the Luggage Car (2 items not exceeding 20 kilograms each). Due to space constraints, guests should only take on board hand luggage required for their journey. It is recommended guests include in their hand luggage, items such as passports, valuables, medicine, and
fragile or perishable items. Please note any luggage that is checked into the Luggage Car cannot be accessed during the
journey.
(Please note any luggage that you wish to take on board that exceeds 20 kilograms per piece will need to be repacked due to workplace health and safety requirements.)
