Great Southern Rail

Take a journey beyond expectation with an all-inclusive rail holiday through Australia upon the Indian Pacific or The Ghan. Great Southern Rail has owned and operated The Ghan (Adelaide-Alice Springs-Darwin), the Indian Pacific (Sydney-Adelaide-Perth) and The Overland (Melbourne-Adelaide) rail journeys since 1997 when it became the first transcontinental passenger rail business to be privatised in Australia.

Great Southern Rail caters for all levels of travel, from comfortable seated Red Service up through to exclusive Private Carriages. At whatever service level you choose, we look forward to providing you a comfortable and relaxing way to enjoy your journey.
