Named after the two great oceans it joins and symbolised by the magnificent wedge-tailed eagle that so often soars above it, the mighty Indian Pacific traverses 4,352km (2,698 miles) between Perth and Sydney, twice a week. Almost 300 miles of it is across the longest straight track in the world, the Nullarbor Plain. Travelling between the Indian and Pacific oceans for over 40 years, this truly is one of the world's great train journeys. This epic journey, which spans a continent, travels the whole distance in three days and three nights. Whether your final destination on the Indian Pacific is west to Perth or east to Sydney, you’ll have many opportunities to leave the train and take in some of the region's highlights. With so many wonderful sights to enjoy, this isn’t just one of the longest train journeys in the world, but also one of the most memorable.
