Journey Beyond Rail Expeditions - Great Southern
Great Southern
A truly unique rail journey, the Great Southern may not be as well known as The Ghan or Indian Pacific but it is a journey that should be on everyone’s list.
This rail journey is a great itinerary for everyone but especially those that have previously travelled on The Ghan or Indian Pacific and are looking for their next great rail adventure.
