Welcome to Adelaide and all aboard the Great Southern train!
Once we get going take some time to settle into your cabin and familiarise yourself with your home for the next 3 days where you will experience fine dining, top tier service and premium wines. Morning tea and lunch is served onboard while you watch the ever-changing landscape. Todays off-train experience is in the Grampians region where you can choose from a selection of activities. Whether you want to take a stroll with a stunning view, enjoy mother-nature or a unique showcase of western wines, it is up to you!
Seize the day in your own way. After breakfast you will take a scenic coach ride to Canberra where you can choose from a range of cultural institutions for your off-train experience. What catches you attention? The National War Memorial, National Gallery of Australia or Parliament House. Whichever you choose will make for a great day out before returning to the train for dinner and a night cap.
Lets make the most of our final day onboard the train. Once again you can choose your own adventure, this time we find ourselves in Coffs Harbour. One option is to take in the beauty of the rainforest from Sealy Lookout Forest Sky Pier and have a guided or self-guided tour of the Regional Botanic Garden, home to exotic plants from sub-tropical regions of the world. Another option is a guided bike tour alongside the Coffs River in which you can learn about the eco system and overlook the Solitary Islands National Park from North Point Lookout. You may otherwise choose to visit the seaside town, Urunga, to stroll along the beautiful coastal boardwalk with your local Indigenous guide to interpret the unique eco system. Learn about the rich cultural history of the Gumbaynggirr people during this wonderful intersection of nature and culture. Finally, there is an optional upgrade available which will take you on a hinterland helicopter flight*. View the diverse landscape of mountains and sea from above. This breathtaking flight will give you a birds eye view of the coastline, hinterland and Great Dividing Range. Lunch is aboard the train, so make sure you soak up all that the train has to offer before we arrive at our last stop in Brisbane.
