In this collection of Great Railroad Adventures, we embark on three truly legendary train trips. From Sydney to Perth, from Vancouver to Banff, and from Pretoria to Cape Town, more train adventures await us. All aboard!
Chapter 1: Australia The Indian Pacific is one of the world's legendary train journeys. Traversing the entire continent of Australia, from Sydney to Perth via Adelaide, it crosses a distance of over 2,600 miles. From the breathtaking scenery of New South Wales' Blue Mountains to the treeless plain of the Nullarbor, where the train travels the world's longest straight stretch of railroad track for 286 miles, this is a journey through the heart and soul of Australia.
Chapter 2: Canada The Rocky Mountaineer is one of Canada's most famous train journeys. Starting from Vancouver, it travels across British Columbia and through the spectacular Rocky Mountains to Banff. The journey takes you across the grasslands of British Columbia, past virgin forests, glacial lakes, and the towering peaks of the Rockies.
Chapter 3: South Africa The Blue Train is South Africa's most famous train. Its picturesque journey from Pretoria to Cape Town takes you past the gold fields of the Witwatersrand, into the lush agricultural belt of the Northern Cape, through the diamond fields of Kimberly, and finally through the wine lands of Cape province. Along the way you will see the stark desert of the Karoo, the purple-hued mountains of the Cape, and the lush scenery of the South African coast. With fantastic views of wildlife and flora, this is a train journey not to be missed.
