G'Day
& Welcome
Aboard
We hope you’ll join us on board our private Aurora Australis train for an adventure throughout regional New South Wales.
The Southern Aurora overnight passenger train, which operated from 1962 to 1986 between Sydney and Melbourne, has seen its original carriages lovingly restored. You can now once again experience the charm and comfort of train travel in our carefully curated rail tours.
Across our three different rail tours, you’ll see some of NSW’s best scenery. The train travels by day and is stationary overnight, ensuring you’ll get a restful sleep ready for tomorrow’s adventure.
New for 2025, our itineraries are now all-inclusive and you’ll enjoy hearty meals in our dining carriage prepared by our onboard chef, using fresh local produce along the way.
