Vintage Rail Journeys Australia

All-Inclusive Tours

Vintage Rail Journeys is proud to share our passion for Australian railway history. These carriages have been lovingly restored to their original 1960’s style and condition, and we hope you love the experience.

Rail travel really is the most relaxed way to enjoy Australia. Whether you are watching the scenery roll by from the comfort of your private cabin, or taking a short walk to the lounge and dining carriages to enjoy the company of your fellow guests.

Our itineraries are designed so the majority of our travel is during daylight hours. Unique to Vintage Rail Journeys, we are stabled for most of the night so you can settle in for a peaceful sleep, assured of comfort, safety, and quiet. Your carriage will have a dedicated Hospitality Attendant who will be on hand to assist, answer your questions or make you a cuppa.

From the moment you step aboard, everything is taken care of. Vintage Rail Journeys continues to deliver the charm, character and sense of fun our guests know and love. With all-inclusive dining, fine regional wines, barista-made coffee, and thoughtfully curated Off Train Experiences, every detail has been considered. All you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the ease and comfort of a Vintage Rail Journey.
