Rail Away
Train journeys beyond all expectations
“Who dares disturb my peace?” The good-natured kangaroo stares in awe the metallic miracle crossing the barren landscape.
Starting from Perth and reaching Sydney as its final destination, the epic Indian Pacific railway runs through the unexplored charm of the Australian nature, crossing the forests and waterfalls of the Blue Mountains. If you are ready for this life journey, remember that the best seasons are spring and autumn. (greatsouthernrail.com.au)
