Our suggested itinerary is a starting point
We're specialists in tailor-made holidays, where we can adapt each itinerary to suit your requirements
Day 1 Brisbane & Tropical North Queensland
Board the train mid-afternoon for your journey north along the Queensland coast towards Cairns. The journey will take about 25 hours, so you can sit back and admire the scenery as you pass through several of Queensland's small towns and long stretches of open countryside. Wander along to the Spirit of Queensland Café which provides a selection of hot meals, sandwiches, snacks, coffee, beer and wine to purchase for your enjoyment.
At the front of the carriage is an area to sit back and talk with fellow passengers or, simply to watch the scenery pass by. If you have upgraded to a RailBed, inclusive meals are served directly to your seat. As night falls you may wish to watch a film on the seat-back screen and let the train lull you to sleep as it ventures further north.
Day 2 Cairns & Tropical North Queensland & Tropical North Queensland
Wake to a new view and after breakfast you have a leisurely day ahead. Treat yourself at the Spirit of Queensland Café to some refreshments or to simply relax before the train reaches Cairns mid-afternoon.
