The Indian Pacific
Listed under Train Journeys in Sydney, Australia.
Forging its way through the outback from the Indian to the Pacific Ocean, this trans-continental train takes 65 hours to display some of the diverse wonders of Australia's interior, which include the sweeping Nullarbor Desert, Adelaide, the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie and the Blue Mountains, home to wombats, koalas and kookaburras.
