About Us

Our Rail Division, previously known as Great Southern Rail (“GSR”) operates Australia’s iconic rail journeys, The Ghan, Indian Pacific, The Overland and Great Southern.

There are very few global journeys considered national treasures, but our trains are, without question, iconic Australian experiences. From the moment our guests (and potentially you!) step aboard these legendary trains, you can feel it – a spirit of adventure and a sense of something very special about to unfold.
