Outback Queensland by Train to Longreach 2027

This remarkable, fully-escorted 15-day journey traverses the heart of Queensland's Outback and Savannah Country, an immense landscape where endless horizons, rugged ranges and sprawling cattle stations stretch across one of Australia's most remote regions. Few journeys reveal such dramatic changes in landscape, history and culture in a single itinerary. Even the transport is varied - travel from Brisbane to Longreach on the Spirit of the Outback; enjoy a privately chartered journey from Longreach to Morella on a heritage 2000 Class rail motor; fly to the Gulf of Carpentaria aboard an island-hopping mail-plane; and continue by train across the wide Savannah and through the rugged outback, over the high tablelands and down through the rainforest to the coast on two iconic trains - the 'Gulflander' and the 'Savannahlander'. With day trips to Port Douglas and Mossman Gorge, the Herberton-Atherton Historic Railway in the Atherton Tablelands, and ride through the rainforest aboard the scenic Kuranda Railway, this itinerary ticks a lot of boxes.
