Fares Taking Your Car

Nothing stirs the imagination quite like the thought of a journey to the outback of Queensland to the towns and places immortalised in story and song.

What better way to experience these legendary destinations than by rail on The Spirit of the Outback, where you can see the landscape up close and take the time to admire its untamed beauty.

Enjoy 24 hours of relaxed pleasure that transports you over 1,300 kilometres from Brisbane to Longreach, gateway to the Australian Stockmans Hall of Fame, the Qantas Founders Museum and the Outback Heritage Centre.

For our Economy Class customers there's a great value selection of take-away options in the Club Car.

All meals will be included in the fare for a First Class single or twin sleeping berth, while these guests will also be given exclusive access to the restaurant and lounge cars. Your First Class outback experience wouldn't be complete without authentic dining, and youll find true Queensland tucker in the dining car. Also get to know your fellow travellers, and perhaps a local or two, in the Lounge Car which offers a full selection of drinks and refreshments.

Dining options

All Single and Twin sleeping berth customers have exclusive access to the Restaurant car and Lounge car. All meals are inclusive of the fare when travelling in a Twin or Single sleeping berth. This allows you to dine in for an authentic Aussie dining experience. A limited liquor service is available for consumption upo

Alternatively, Economy Class Triple sleeping berth or Economy seat customers can pay as they go and select from hot and cold takeaway snacks, drinks and confectionery in the Club Car. Stay and enjoy the friendly atmosphere or take back to your seat. A limited liquor service is available for consumption upon purchase in the Club Car.
