Monarto Safari Stay & Indian Pacific Rail Perth to Adelaide

Your afternoon begins with a welcome gathering, in
celebration of the start of your journey across the country
and along the world’s longest stretch of straight railway
track. Spend a relaxed afternoon getting to know your
fellow travellers after you board the Indian Pacific and pull
away from Perth, leaving the Indian Ocean behind and
cruising toward the Pacific. Tonight, a delectable dinner is
served on board, featuring contemporary Australian cuisine
with seasonal and regional flavours.

Awake to see the sunrise unfold across Australia’s largest
outback town, Kalgoorlie. This morning, we’ll delve into
this mining town’s fascinating past and present, with a visit
to the region’s gold-rush era, now modern-day, Super Pit
mine. Decide how you want to explore Kalgoorlie on your
choice of Off Train Experience, including morning
refreshments.
Reboarding the train mid-morning for brunch, the
remainder of the day is on board at your leisure. Sit back
and enjoy the hospitality as you take in spectacular views
of the seemingly endless expanse of the Nullarbor Plain.
You’ll cross borders and time zones, entering South
Australia before dinner.
Late evening, the train will pull into the almost-ghost-town
of Cook for a nightcap, late-night bonfire and stargazing
experience.

Spend the morning travelling through the pastoral lands
and communities of remote South Australia as the Indian
Pacific cruises past the Flinders Rangers, Spencer Gulf and
the Adelaide Plains. Breakfast and lunch are both served on
board.
Mid-afternoon, the train arrives in Adelaide where you will
be transferred by private vehicle to Monarto Safari Resort,
approximately 50 minutes from the city centre and nestled
