Stepping aboard the mighty Indian Pacific, you’ll feel a great sense of anticipation
as this unforgettable Australian adventure begins to unfold. Whether you’re journeying from the
Indian Ocean to the Pacific or the other way round, you’ll be making your way across
the longest stretch of straight railway track in the world.
This is a journey defined by contrast, encompassing the towering majesty
of the Blue Mountains to the barren expanse of the Nullabor and every goldmine,
ghost town and grapevine in between. Outside your window, the landscape
shifts over and over, revealing hidden secrets, from long abandoned homesteads of the Nullarbor
to the marvellously resilient wildflowers of Western Australia.
With all of its variance, this is the definitive Australia.
From inside and outside your cabin, you’ll touch and be touched by the vast beauty
of this magnificent country – the textures, the light, the unimaginable hues.
And alighting from this iconic coast-to-coast journey, you’ll be far richer for the experience
SYDNEY TO PERTH OR V.V.

If you are planning to undertake this trip YOU MUST SEEK OUT other authorative advice and information.
Travelling across Australia is a very exciting adventure, you will see things and visit places that have their own unique attractions and risks.
For example when playing on the sand dunes at Fowlers Bay or at various other sand dune spots, understand the risks involved, how the dunes move over night, understand sand avalanches can occur...also check out the other side of the crest ridge before sandboarding so you dont end up in a situation you cannot get out of...
Understand where and how to seek assistance if you get into difficulty, understand assistance may be hours away.
When visiting Bunda Cliffs... DO NOT get to close too the top edge of the Cliff Face as the ledge might crumble and fall 200 feet down,
understand your limitations when visiting caves and the dangers posed and do not enter unless you have a permit or know what you are doing
for example the risks involved when climbing down and getting in/out of the Cave system
Outback travel can be a very exciting journey but it also can be very hazardous especially off road and in remote and isolated areas.
When going 'Off Road' and 'Remote' from the main National 1 Highway your trip should only be undertaken after
lengthy and careful planning, plus having plenty of water, fuel, food, working communication devices etc and people know where you are going.
Understand the distances between fuel stops by ringing ahead and checking with the roadhouses, cattle stations and visitor centres - that what you want is at the next stop.
NEVER ASSUME!
Understand the weather patterns and the various seasons Australia has...and take clothing that suits the climate and conditions at the time of your trip,
understand your vehicle and its capabilities and how to repair it plus have spare tyres (Min 2 extra)
