Spend a relaxed evening getting to know your fellow travellers over dinner. Served on board, the menu features contemporary Australian cuisine with seasonal and regional flavours.

Day 2: Kalgoorlie & Cook
Awake to see the sunrise unfold across Australia’s largest outback town, Kalgoorlie. This morning, we’ll delve into this mining town’s fascinating past and present, with a visit to the region’s gold-rush era, now modern-day, Super Pit mine. Decide how you want to explore Kalgoorlie with your choice of Off Train Experiences, including morning refreshments. Reboarding the train mid-morning for brunch, the remainder of the day is spent on board at your leisure. Sit back and enjoy the hospitality as you take in spectacular views of the seemingly endless expanse of the Nullarbor Plain. You’ll cross borders and time zones, entering South Australia before dinner. Late evening, the train will pull into the almost-ghost-town of Cook for a nightcap and late-night bonfire experience under the Nullarbor sky.
Meals: Breakfast & Dinner

Day 3: Barossa Valley
Spend the morning travelling through the pastoral lands and communities of remote South Australia as the Indian Pacific travels past the Flinders Rangers, Spencer Gulf and the Adelaide Plains. Breakfast and lunch are both served on board. Mid-afternoon, the train pulls into Long Plains, where you’ll disembark and transfer in comfortable coaches to the world-renowned, wineproducing region of the Barossa Valley. You’ll spend the evening at Seppeltsfield Estate, delighting in a signature dining experience in the vintage cellar, exclusive to Indian Pacific guests. A ‘Firing of the Barrel’ display is part of the evening, as well as a food and wine pairing curated by Executive Chef Owen Andrews, highlighting regional produce and traditional methods that reflect the story of the Barossa. Here, Platinum guests are also treated to a special 100-year-old tawny tasting experience. After dinner, you’ll return to the Indian Pacific, continuing your rail journey through the night.

For a different perspective, join Shelita Buffet, Queen of the Outback, for a lively tour along the main drag.
