Group Travel and Private Carriages on Australia's Great Train Journeys

Great Southern Rail Groups department is responsible for delivering exceptional group and Private Carriage travel.

Group Travel

Group Travel has always been a popular form of travel. People enjoy the companionship as well as the shared experiences of group travel. For some it is way to meet and catch up with friends and for others it is the security of travelling to regions which are seen as inhospitable.

Our dedicated Group department has an intimate understanding of The Ghan, Indian Pacific and The Overland and how you and your group can use these trains services to access some of Australia's most stunning landscapes from the Blue Mountains, Flinders Ranges, Nullarbor Plain, the Red Centre and the tropical Top End of the Northern Territory. Planning and co-ordination of the group itinerary includes hotels, transport and activities / tours.

Our groups department can tailor make itineraries for small groups (minimum of ten guests) up to large groups and charters.

We are also able to tailor make itineraries for conference, incentive and special interest groups.
