The Indian Pacific is a twice-weekly passenger rail service running between Perth and Sydney, Australia. It is one of the few truly transcontinental trains in the world. The train first ran in 1970 after the completion of gauge conversion projects in Western and South Australia.
The route includes the world's longest straight stretch of railway track on the Nullarbor Plain. In 1983, the service added a short trip to include Adelaide. A one-way trip once took 75 hours, but with line and efficiency improvements it now takes 65 hours. Sitting carriages were included between Sydney and Port Pirie from 1980. The train currently has three classes, branded as Platinum, Gold Kangaroo and Red Kangaroo and can also carry passengers' motor vehicles.
Cache: no need to leave the path (Terrain rating of 1.0 - Wheelchair).
