The Southern Spirit: Welcome


About The Southern Spirit

The Southern Spirit is not for everyone. It is for those that expect more. Those who view travel as they view life, not as a destination, but as a journey to be savoured. On board you’ll enjoy unparalleled luxury and unmatched personal attention with 24-hour cabin service. While trips ‘ashore’ offer you the chance to indulge yourself at exclusive five-star hotels or take off on excursions as adventurous or as lavish as you choose to make them.

No, The Southern Spirit is not for everyone. It’s for the lucky few who get on board.

Beginning In January 2011, a new opportunity to immerse yourself in the timeless wonders of rail travel and this amazing continent presents itself as a new route is added to the family of great train journeys offered by Great Southern Rail. Follow the path less travelled in Platinum or Gold Service as The Southern Spirit explores the sights and delights of Australia's southeast. Join The Southern Spirit in Adelaide, Australia's wine capital and gateway to the Outback or the sophisticated southern city of Melbourne for a leisurely journey of up to 5 nights and 6 days to the final destination in sub-tropical Brisbane. Naturally if you'd prefer, the return route from Brisbane to Melbourne or Adelaide is equally impressive.

With limited journeys available in 2011, places onboard this exclusive rail adventure will be highly sought after. To avoid disappointment, be sure to book now and secure your place on the latest Australian Great Train Journey, The Southern Spirit.
