All Aboard the Great Southern

ALL ABOARD THE GREAT SOUTHERN

Discover one of Australia’s great rail journeys as we travel between Brisbane and Adelaide aboard Journey Beyond’s Great Southern.

In Episode 3 of Travel Talk with Chirn Park Travel, we are joined by Hannah Dare from Journey Beyond to talk about one of Australia’s most memorable rail experiences – the Great Southern.

Connecting Brisbane and Adelaide, the Great Southern is much more than a way of getting from one city to another. It is a holiday in its own right, combining ever-changing Australian landscapes with comfortable accommodation, regionally inspired dining, fine wines and immersive experiences along the way.

We chat with Hannah about what makes travelling aboard the Great Southern so special and why a rail journey offers such a different way to experience Australia.

Travelling from Brisbane to Adelaide, guests journey south through New South Wales and Victoria, with experiences along the way including Coffs Harbour, the Hunter Valley region and Melbourne or regional Victoria. In the opposite direction, the Adelaide to Brisbane journey takes in the spectacular Grampians, Australia’s capital Canberra and the coastline around Coffs Harbour before continuing north to Brisbane.

And while the destinations are certainly part of the appeal, so too is life aboard the train. Settle into your cabin, meet fellow travellers in the lounge, enjoy meals inspired by the regions you are travelling through and simply watch Australia unfold outside your window.

Whether the Great Southern has been sitting on your travel wish list for years or you have never considered seeing Australia by rail, this episode offers plenty of inspiration for your next Australian adventure.

Sit back, relax and join us as we discover the Great Southern with Hannah Dare from Journey Beyond.
