# The Indian Pacific. Ocean to ocean, across the Nullarbor.

Cross the whole continent by rail between Sydney and Perth, with the vast Nullarbor Plain at its heart.

## The journey

The Indian Pacific runs between Sydney, on the Pacific Ocean, and Perth, on the Indian Ocean, and can be travelled in either direction.

Along the way it climbs through the Blue Mountains, passes Broken Hill and Adelaide, and crosses the Nullarbor Plain, where the line runs dead straight for 478 kilometres: the longest straight stretch of railway in the world.

## Off the train

Stops along the way bring the outback up close, such as the tiny settlement of Cook in the middle of the Nullarbor, and an evening at Rawlinna with dinner beside the train under the stars.

What is included varies with the direction and the departure, and Nancy will tell you what is planned for yours.

## How it fits around your visit

Visiting family in Perth? Take the train east to Adelaide or Sydney before flying home to New Zealand.

Visiting Sydney or Adelaide? Travel west instead and finish your holiday in Perth.

## Good to know

Nancy can match the rail departure, cabin choice and onward flights to your visit, and add time in Sydney, Adelaide or Perth at either end if you wish.

## Can you picture yourself on board?
