the journey

Nothing stirs the imagination quite like the thought of a journey to the outback of Queensland – to the towns and places immortalised in story and song.

What better way to experience these legendary destinations than by rail on The Spirit of the Outback, where you can see the landscape up close and take the time to admire its untamed beauty.

Enjoy 24 hours of relaxed pleasure that transports you over 1,300 kilometres from Brisbane to Longreach, gateway to the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame, the Qantas Founders Museum and the Outback Heritage Centre.

Your outback experience wouldn’t be complete without authentic dining, and you’ll find true Queensland tucker in the dining car. There’s also a great value selection of take-away options in the Club Car.

Get to know your fellow travellers, and perhaps a local or two, in the Stockman’s Bar which offers a full selection of drinks and refreshments.
