Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Adrien the cruise and travel guy and in today's video I'm going to take you on one of Australia's great Railway Journeys

the reality is that I booked this trip only 2 weeks ago pretty much to the day the only thing that was available back then was a gold single sleeper cabin

the food on board hits the mark for being purposeful flavorful well presented and importantly well cooked

I would do it again though and with that vote of confidence I red for bed determined to get at least one good night's rest on board

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack specifically for your time on board as luggage storage is limited
Bring earplugs and an eye mask for better sleep on the moving train
Book off-train excursions in advance through the online portal
