The exclusive pleasure of travelling by private carrige.

A private carriage offers you all the comfort, hospitality and facilities you need to make your train holiday a truly special and memorable experience.


Picture yourself waking up as the sun is rising over Australia’s Red Centre, watching the majestic Blue Mountains or the entrancing vista of the Nullabor Plain slide past your panoramic windows, making new friends over a fine dinner or relaxing drink, certainly
an experience never to be forgotten. Imagine all of this along with the privacy of your own self contained carriage.

There are no other experiences quite like Australia’s great train journeys. What’s more, the holiday begins the moment you step onboard. Your chance to sit back, relax and indulge in some of this country’s most wonderful scenery.

Whether your journey includes the Indian Pacific, The Ghan or The Overland, you can be sure that these journeys are much more than simply a
mode of transport that takes you to your destination.

A train holiday becomes an unforgettable part of the experience. You now have the opportunity to further enhance your time onboard one of our great trains, sharing the ultimate experience with your family, friends or colleagues by chartering a private carriage for your journey.


Explore the outback without sacrificing any creature comforts. Your private carriage in conjunction with our Gold
Service invokes all the romance of a bygone era and still includes everything you would expect in a contemporary travel experience.


From a complimentary glass of
sparkling, wine, beer or soft
drink in the Gold Service lounge
to the table cloths when dining,
this surely is adventuring in style.
