Indian Pacific

Australia's transcontinental rail journey from ocean to ocean/Trains & Rail

The Indian Pacific is one of the world's great train journeys, running 4,352 kilometers between Sydney on the Pacific Ocean and Perth on the Indian Ocean, hence the name. The journey takes about 65 hours and crosses the Nullarbor Plain, which includes the world's longest stretch of straight railway track at 478 kilometers. The train carries up to 210 passengers in Gold and Platinum classes. It passes through three time zones and some of the most remote terrain on Earth, where the nearest town might be 500 kilometers away.
