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.
