Sydney Rail Escape (departing Adelaide)

This morning make your way to the Adelaide Parklands Rail Terminal to board the Indian Pacific. Settle into your Gold Service cabin, and enjoy the meals, beverages and facilities available to you. On arrival into Broken Hill, choose from a selection of off train experiences, including the magnificent Drag Queens performing at the Palace Hotel, made famous in the movie 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert'. Or if local art is more your thing, visit Broken Hill's Regional Art Gallery or see the much loved 'Big Picture', housed in the Silver City Mint and Art Centre.

Overnight: Indian Pacific

This morning you can enjoy an off train excursion in the Blue Mountains. Visit the World Heritage Listed Blue Mountains and take the scenic Prince Henry Cliff Walk, the perfect location to see the spectacular Jamison Valley and iconic Three Sisters. A light lunch at The Lookout Restaurant is included, before continuing your rail journey to Central Station in Sydney. Alternatively you may prefer to travel straight through to Sydney by continuing the journey on the Indian Pacific.

Overnight: Veriu Central or similar, 4 nights

Over the next two days use your Hop On Hop Off ferry pass and explore the many sights of Sydney. Cruise on one of the Captain Cook ferries between Darling Harbour, Circular Quay, Watsons Bay, Taronga Zoo, Luna Park, Manly and Shark Island.

Besides the suggested attractions, there's still so much to see and do in Australia’s largest capital city. If beaches are your thing, check out some of our world-famous spots at either Bondi or Manly. Or stretch your legs by walking about Sydney’s historic The Rocks precinct or maybe a leisurely stroll through the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens around Mrs Macquarie’s Chair.

If you are looking for some retail therapy, there are heaps of shopping spots across the Harbour city to keep you busy before your amazing dinner on the Harbour. You are in for a special night on the harbour so use the morning to work up your appetite. Climb the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. Or if a relaxed day is on the agenda visit one of the many museums around the city, whether it be the Anzac Memorial, Art Gallery of NSW, or the Museum of Sydney.

With a spectacular city backdrop, indulge in a three-course contemporary Australian dining experience, and take in the sparkling views of the Harbour. For this special evening experience you’ll board the Sydney 2000 for your dinner cruise of Sydney Harbour with its million-dollar views.

Today depart Sydney at a time suitable to you, or you may like to extend your stay and explore the city further.
