Indian Pacific
Here is your opportunity to travel the outback without sacrificing any creature comforts. Our Gold Kangaroo Service invokes all the romance of a bygone age and still includes everything you would expect in a contemporary travel experience. From a complimentary welcome reception glass of bubbly, wine or beer in the lounge to the linen table cloths in the dining room, this is adventuring in style.
Gold Kangaroo Service

The Deluxe Cabin is twice the size of a normal Gold Kangaroo Twin Cabin and features a small double bed plus additional fold down single bed. This cabin has its own private lounge area with table, arm chairs, video entertainment and a well stocked bar fridge with complimentary refreshments. There is only one Deluxe Cabin on every Indian Pacific journey so advance bookings are essential.
