VINTAGE RAIL

JOURNEYS

Step back in time and travel in style aboard
the restored 1960s ‘Aurora Australis’
sleeping train. Celebrate Australia’s diverse
history and rich culture with visits to regional
towns, gardens and attractions. Travel on rail
lines which don’t have scheduled passenger
services, making this a real adventure.
By day, relax in the comfort of your
compartment or mingle with fellow guests in
the dining or lounge carriages. Enjoy regional
cuisine, freshly prepared by onboard chefs
using locally sourced produce. The lounge
car is the perfect place to enjoy a pre or post
dinner drink or watch the passing scenery.
