Australasia - Rail Travel in Australia and New Zealand
Rail travel in Australia is like black cabs in London; iconic and essential. From the vibrant corals of the Barrier Reef through to the bustling streets of Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, Australia is "chocker" with friendly people and fascinating landscapes. Australian rail travel opens up a new world of red desert and glittering coastal cities, with the added advantage that long distance rail travel in Australia is commonplace.
New Zealand both delights and surprises with dazzling wildlife, Maori culture and a volcanic landscape that captures the imagination. The glaciers of the Southern Alps and the subtropical climate of Auckland clash in this fascinating country.
