About

The Southern Aurora overnight passenger train, which operated from 1962 to 1986 between Sydney and Melbourne, has seen its original carriages lovingly restored. You can now once again experience the charm and comfort of train travel on our carefully curated rail tours. Across our three different rail tours, you'll see some of NSW's best scenery.

The train travels by day and is stationary overnight, ensuring you'll get a restful sleep ready for tomorrow's adventure. Enjoy meeting the locals on river cruises, at museums and gardens. You'll hear about innovations from farmers and producers. You'll love the guidance provided by our local guides and coach drivers. Our itineraries are all-inclusive and you'll enjoy hearty meals in our dining carriage prepared by our onboard chef, using locally sourced ingredients.

The decor in your cabin is straight out of the 1960s, and you'll experience a warm welcome and outstanding service from your hospitality attendants. We're sure you'll have a great holiday, all while supporting regional small businesses along the way.
