JOURNEYS OF THE GREAT SOUTHERN

With its rugged coastline, sun-kissed beaches, forested peaks, and exhilarating capital cities, the stunning journey between Brisbane and Adelaide feels like nowhere else in Australia. Relax with everything taken care of on board including fine dining, premium wines and world-class hospitality, as you’re transported from buzzing cities to diverse landscapes and natural marvels. 

The three day, two night, 57-hour trip of the Great Southern includes stops at the Grampians in Victoria, featuring a special off-train outdoor dining experience in a scenic setting; the national capital, Canberra and its environs; and the popular NSW coastal resort town of Coffs Harbour before arriving in Brisbane. On this new journey you will explore some of Australia’s beautiful verdant landscapes at a pace that allows for the attention it deserves.

As the Great Southern traversed the Adelaide Hills and out across the parched farmlands beyond it was hard to decide who was enjoying the journey more: the passengers comfortable and chattering ensconsced in the air-cooled, stainless steel carriages or the legion of tripod-toting, camera-snapping train-spotters ubiquitous along the track and at rail crossings.

Your journey will include gently-paced excursions to beautiful beaches; historic lighthouses; peaceful river cruising; delightful botanic gardens;a taste of Indigenous culture, plus leg-stretches at historic country towns. Each day begins with a fresh panorama to take in as you savour the essence of Australia that is distilled in your journey on Great Southern. 

All Great Southern departures offer the choice of Platinum and Gold Service accommodation, with both options inclusive of dining, on board beverages and Off Train Experiences.
