WED/SAT |
DEPART SYDNEY WITH INDIAN PACIFIC TRAIN FOR BROKEN |  |
| Leave Sydney this afternoon, on board the world famous Indian Pacific Train and travel first through the magnificent Blue Mountains, then through country New South Wales and the outback to Broken Hill. Your accommodation tonight will be a First Class Cabin aboard the train. | ||
THU/SUN |
BROKEN HILL – OUTBACK SHEEP STATION – WHITE CLIFFS |   |
| You will be collected at the Broken Hill train station upon arrival of the Indian Pacific. Leaving Broken Hill we travel north for 120 kilometres to a working “outback” sheep station. This family owned property is unique as it incorporates a privately imposed and now registered natural sanctuary for fauna and flora as well as an abundance of Aboriginal rock art. Your guide will show you some wonderful things, including plenty of wildlife like big red kangaroos, emus, eagles and much more. We then look for a nice place to have lunch, before we continue our journey on remote station roads, through ever changing countryside, to the remote White Cliffs Opal Field. Dinner and accommodation will be in the famous underground Motel - a very unique experience! | ||
FRI/MON |
WHITE CLIFFS – BROKEN HILL | |
| We will spend the morning inspecting this extraordinary outback settlement. Learn how and why the community lives underground. Visit some underground opal galleries and perhaps purchase one of the magnificent local opal products. Before lunch we'll see the 'Old Field' where in search for “colour” over 50,000 holes have been dug since the 1890's. Return to Broken Hill for dinner and a well deserved good nights rest. | ||
SAT/TUE |
SILVERTON |
|
| Today we visit the 'Hollywood of the Outback', Silverton. Numerous TV-commercials and movies such as 'A Town Like Alice', 'Mad Max II' and many more have made Silverton a special place. Visit the galleries of the local outback artists and see the sweeping ‘Mundi Mundi’ Plains from where it is often possible to see the curvature of the earth. Back to Broken Hill for lunch and an afternoon at leisure. Dinner is included at the Legion Club. | ||
SUN/WED |
