Overland Train

Travel between Melbourne and Adelaide aboard The Overland, Australia’s classic daylight rail journey linking two great cities in comfort and style. Departing Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station, the train glides through Victoria’s western plains, passing open farmland, country towns and wide horizons before crossing into South Australia. Along the way, guests can settle into comfortable seats, enjoy the easy rhythm of rail travel, and watch the changing scenery unfold without airport queues or long hours on the road. Large windows frame the landscapes beautifully, from the outskirts of Melbourne to the broad fields of the Wimmera and the approach to Adelaide. With friendly onboard service, a relaxed atmosphere and time to simply sit back and take it all in, The Overland offers a scenic, nostalgic and stress-free way to experience southern Australia. It is more than a transfer between cities; it is part of the journey itself for many travellers each week.
