Tour Itinerary

Day 1 | Arrive Broome
Start your journey in the town of Broome. Check in to your accommodation and spend the rest of the day at leisure, exploring the many attractions.
The town of Broome is reputed for its history and its glorious pearling era. The day is yours to enjoy at leisure. Visit the fascinating Chinatown district, the historic city centre, and the Japanese Cemetery, dating back to 1896. This area’s past is marked by the immigration of numerous Chinese and Japanese workers who came to Broome for the pearl industry at the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century.
See the natural landscape change as the sun rises and sets. This morning you will depart Broome by coach and travel to Derby where you will board your awaiting seaplane for your scenic flight to Horizontal Falls. Jetwave Pearl offers an exclusive accommodation base for a maximum of 20 guests. Enjoy 24 hours of pure excitement with numerous power boat cruises, a guided fishing charter and relaxing cruise through the crystal blue waters of Talbot Bay and the ancient rock formations of Cyclone Creek. Cap off the day with a resident shark show and a cooling swim in the marine viewing platform. Savour sunset drinks and appetisers on the rooftop lounge or spacious decks before you dine on the catch of the day and quality local produce.
This morning indulge in breakfast and enjoy a hot beverage while listening to the wildlife start their day. Get the camera ready and board the seaplane for your scenic flight back to Derby, flying low across King Sound, Cone Bay and an expanse of tidal flats. Once you land in Derby, your transfer will return you to your hotel late morning. The rest of the day is free for you to explore Broome as you please.
Your time in Broome comes to an end this morning as you join your economy flight to Perth. On arrival in Perth, you will be transferred to your accommodation and your base for the next three nights.
Make your way to Barrack Street Jetty and board Rottnest Express, bound for Rottnest Island, 22kms offshore. On arrival, a 90-minute air-conditioned bus tour around ‘Rotto’ takes you to some spectacular locations, including Wadjemup Lighthouse and the boardwalk lookout at the rugged west end. Feast on a delicious lunch before exploring the island at your leisure – make sure you meet a quokka. Return to Perth by ferry in the afternoon.
It might be the largest state in Australia, but Western Australia’s capital city features a conveniently compact centre, packed with things to see and do. Enjoy your day at leisure in Perth visiting Kings Park, Barrack Square or some of the many museums and galleries.
After breakfast, take in any last minute sights before transferring to the Rail Terminal. Your afternoon begins with a welcome gathering, in celebration of the start of your journey across the country and along the world’s longest stretch of straight railway track. Spend a relaxed afternoon getting to know your fellow travellers after you board the Indian Pacific and pull away from Perth, leaving the Indian Ocean behind and cruising toward the Pacific. Tonight, a delectable dinner is served on board, featuring contemporary Australian cuisine with seasonal and regional flavours.
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 on your choice of Off Train Experience, including morning refreshments. Reboarding the train mid-morning for brunch, the remainder of the day is 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, late-night bonfire and stargazing experience.
Spend the morning travelling through the pastoral lands and communities of remote South Australia as the Indian Pacific cruises past the Flinders Rangers, Spencer Gulf and the Adelaide Plains. Breakfast and lunch are both served on board. Mid-afternoon, the train pulls into Two Wells, where you’ll disembark and transfer in comfortable coaches for a short ride to the world-renowned, wine-producing region of the Barossa Valley. You’ll spend the evening at Seppeltsfield Winery, delighting in a signature dining experience in the vintage cellar. A traditional ‘Firing of the Barrel’ display kicks off the evening, followed by 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 wine tasting experience. After dinner, you’ll return to the Indian Pacific, continuing your rail journey through the night.
Crossing another border during the night, you’ll wake up in Broken Hill, New South Wales. Enjoy a hearty breakfast, ready for the day’s activities in the Silver City. You’ll have a choice of four Off Train Experiences, including guided history, art and cultural experiences that showcase the highlights of Australia’s first heritage-listed city. Returning to the train for lunch, admire the scenery as the Indian Pacific travels through regional New South Wales. Tonight, dinner is served on board as you make the most of your final night exploring Australia by train.
The Blue Mountains is known for its soaring sandstone ridges wrapped in native flora. This World Heritage-listed area marks your final stop before arriving in Sydney. Say goodbye to the Indian Pacific after breakfast, to travel deep into the mountains for this afternoon’s Off Train Experiences. Scenic World includes four phenomenal mountain experiences, from the Scenic Skyway, which takes you over ancient ravines, with 360-degree vistas to the Scenic Cableway that glides over the forest to the valley floor and the Scenic Railway, the steepest passenger railway in the world. Alternatively, stretch your legs on a guided walk with spectacular views from numerous lookouts along the trail. Both experiences end at Echo Point Lookout, perched on the edge of the escarpment in Katoomba, where a light lunch is served. Complete your journey on our chartered New South Wales rail service (fully hosted by our crew) into Sydney Central Station. Alternatively, if you prefer to arrive in Sydney earlier, stay on board the Indian Pacific to travel directly to Sydney Central Station. Tour Ends
