A leisurely mid-morning departure from Perth is soon followed by a regionally inspired, gourmet lunch with views of the beautiful patchwork hills of the Avon Valley. The soft, green rolling hills slowly give way to the flatter, drier and harsher, but every bit as beautiful, desert plains. Enjoy pre-dinner drinks and socialising with fellow guests in anticipation of your late-night arrival into the landmark township of Kalgoorlie. After a fascinating Off Train Excursion return to your cabin for a restful night’s sleep.
Arrive refreshed and eager for a superb sunrise on the Nullarbor. Back on the train enjoy regionally inspired modern Australian cuisine for brunch, before alighting at the once vibrant but now deserted ghost town of Cook. Watch the passing parade of ever-changing landscape before dinner and share stories with friends in the lounge.
After another comfortable night’s sleep, the beautiful but unforgiving scenery is now replaced by softer and more graceful contours as you make your way to Adelaide for a morning arrival.
