Similar to Journey Beyond's other luxury rail holidays on The Ghan and the Indian Pacific, the Great Southern is a slow journey across the country with a series of off-train guided tours along the route. The Adelaide to Brisbane service takes three days and features guided tours of the Grampians National Park in Victoria, Canberra and beaches along the northern coast of New South Wales. The Brisbane to Adelaide service takes four days with beachside dining in northern New South Wales, a guided tour of the Hunter Valley and Newcastle, and a stop at the Twelve Apostles.[1][4]
Although Brisbane's Roma Street station handles all other long-distance rail services, the length of the train precudes the Great Southern from terminating there. Instead, the service terminates at a freight terminal in the southern suburb of Acacia Ridge.[5]
