Experience the joy of a rail holiday in the Australian outback
The Indian Pacific is a great rail holiday for those who want to travel in an continuous straight line.
The Indian Pacific runs 4352kms from Sydney to Perth.
That's about the same as a trip from London to Moscow.
The straight bit, said to be the longest in the world, is on the dry and uninhabited Nullarbor Plain of central Australia.
Engineers have suffered the harsh Australian climate conditions to build this transcontinental rail train system.
The Indian Pacific passes across only three cities, two of them little more than large mining towns, and on the Nullarbor Plain there is pretty much few things to catch a glimpse of, unless you're lucky enough to notice a wedge-tailed eagle or kangaroos.
The many travellers who have taken the three days and nights, east-west journey are looking for an alternative vacation rather than looking at the city views, suburban regions or flourishing fauna.
Travellers have opted for this form of holidaying because they want to experience the great Aussie, where they view many hours of seeing the rich red soil and beautiful blue sky.
Holidaymakers can take a trip in an air conditioned comfortable train and have access to world class services and facilities that are offered in a number of overseas luxury trains.
The facilities in the Indian Pacific include an upper and lower sleeping compartment and private restrooms.
There are designated carriages for mingling with others and dining. Alcohol is can be purchased on the train at reasonable prices.
The Indian Pacific is one of several long-distance rail holidays available in Australia.
The Ghan, with similar features and owned by the same corporation, Great Southern Railway, travels north to south through the outback of Australia, from the Top End to Adelaide and vice versa. The 2979km voyage takes two days and two nights.
Both trains run twice a week in each direction, with stops of several hours each en route for local touring.
Comparable Indian Pacific fares are $2008 and $1362, with similar price reductions and concessions.
With a total population of only 21 million, 70% of it in five mainland cities, Australia doesn't have the train networks of countries in Europe, but there are other rails that exist to those who prefer to keep on the straight and narrow with their Australian holiday.
There are a number of train systems including the Melbourne to Adelaide train called the Overland, the extensive long distance XPT trains travel from Sydney to Melbourne/Brisbane as well as to country NSW.
The Sunlander carries travellers to Brisbane and Cairns three times per week on a 32-hour trip and The Inlander runs between Townsville and the mining town of Mt Isa. The Kuranda Scenic Railway near Cairns takes tourists twice-daily on a 90-minute journey through 34kms of rainforest.
