Cross the Australian Outback by Train

For those who wish to travel leisurely by train from Sydney to Perth, the Indian Pacific may be the choice for you. It's one of the long-distance trans-continental trains which include the Ghan on the Adelaide-Darwin line and the Overland between Melbourne and Adelaide.

Or you can go by road all around Australia on Highway 1.
