A rail journey in Australia is still a very special experience today. You can, for example, travel on the world’s second-longest train from the Pacific coast to the Indian Ocean. Or follow in the footsteps of the Afghan cameleers, who did true pioneering work in the last century when the railway line from Adelaide to Alice Springs was built. Enjoy comfortable, air-conditioned sleeping cars, leisurely meals in the dining car and the joy of watching magnificent scenery glide past your window.
