AN EPIC TRAIN JOURNEY

When it comes to solo adventures, there is no better way to see the world than by rail. Consider traversing Australia from the east coast to west on the fabled Indian Pacific. It's one of our iconic rail journeys and offers purpose-built carriages to do it in superb style.

The Gold Service Single is a comfortable sleeper cabin option and includes fully inclusive dining with three gourmet meals per day, all-inclusive Aussie wines, beers, base spirits and non-alcoholic beverages, and your choice of off-train experiences as you travel, a highlight being a night of live music and cuisine under the stars at Rawlinna, WA. The seat, with full leg extension bench seat by day, converts to a cosy bed by night. journey beyondrail.com.au
