Take a unique rail journey and discover landscapes which inspired poets and artists alike, where towering blue sky meets the sunburnt red earth on the horizon.
Remember the last time you packed your bags for an adventure? What about an adventure without ANY driving? The time’s come to explore the outback with a Queensland Rail Travel adventure! Whether heading to Longreach to experience our pioneering heritage, to Mount Isa to explore some of the world’s largest mines or to Charleville for a cosmic experience at the Cosmos Observatory – this summer, see the west for less with our 2 for 1 summer fares.
The quintessential outback rail adventure starts when you hop aboard one of our traditional trains, the Spirit of the Outback, The Westlander or The Inlander. Question is – which journey will you take this summer, for a chance to see the west for less?
Outback Queensland is perfect for exploration adventures any time of the year, but heading off during the summer months is an opportunity to explore these vast regions without the tourist hordes! If the summer temperatures put you off, remember, more often than not, you’ll find yourself in air-conditioned comfort.
Experience the nostalgia of a bygone era when you step aboard the Spirit of the Outback – imagine yourself in a time where hitting the tracks for a getaway was commonplace. Head to your First Class sleeper or economy seat and enjoy a dose of country-style hospitality as you take a sneak peek into your complimentary amenities bag, packed with items made and sourced in Queensland (all with a focus on organic and sustainable production). Trust us; it’ll come in handy when you make full use of the onboard showering amenities stationed at the end of each carriage – you’ll arrive at your destination feeling invigorated and refreshed!
Throughout your journey, you can enjoy the latest onboard entertainment on tablets, dive into the pages of a good book (or onboard magazine) or simply enjoy the passing scenery in comfort. Feeling social? Head to the Shearer’s Rest, a communal lounge exclusive to First Class customers (and the scene of many new friendships beginning).
Enjoy classic dining and sit down to breakfast, lunch and dinner at a table dressed in white cotton and silverware – devour delicious meals inspired by classic Queensland flavours and delight in some contemporary twists… Be sure to try the lavender damper!
Already explored Longreach? Maybe it’s time to take the track less travelled with The Inlander to earthy Mount Isa, or The Westlander, to explore cosmic Charleville?
Whichever train or region you choose for your next outback rail holiday, with Queensland Rail Travel you’re guaranteed to see Queensland from a different perspective, arriving refreshed and ready for adventure!
