1 ~~~ The Indian Pacific: Australia's Greatest Train - Sydney to Perth | Full Trip Video ~~~ 115

The Indian Pacific is one of the world's finest train journeys, carrying passengers on a three night,
four day excursion, the full 4,352km across Australia between Sydney and Perth.

This is a must-take trip for the rail enthusiast, being in the top five longest trains in the world,
and traversing the world's longest straight piece of track (478km) on the Trans Australian Railway on the Nullarbor Plain.

It's a luxury experience, encompassing several off-train stops and excursions at places of interest along the route.

On this trip, I was kindly hosted by Great Southern Rail, who operate this magnificent train.
