What our clients are saying about their journeys around Australia
Beautiful landscape   The Indian Pacific - Perth To Sydney , NSW, Australia, Dec 2025
Once again Tracey helped us greatly with our booking. Prior to boarding the Indian Pacific at East Perth terminal, canapés and drinks were served on the platform. As it was a hot day it would have been preferred inside the terminal (air conditioned ). Once onboard the staff were excellent - friendly and helpful. Platinum cabin and service was great! read more Food was excellent too. On board entertainment was provided by a singer/musician who played in the various lounges throughout the journey. Excursions taken were excellent: Curious Kalgoorlie, star gazing at Cook, dinner at Seppeltsfield Winery(wonderful food pairing, dinner and musicians), walking tour with Shelita in Broken Hill(very entertaining and tasty canapés provided).

Journey overnight from Adelaide was a bit rocky due to the tracks otherwise the journey was very pleasant. Was a wonderful journey through varying scenery across Australia. Thank you Tracey & Global Journeys for another great holiday.
Relaxing trip on the Indian-Pacific The Indian Pacific - Perth To Sydney , NSW, Australia, Jul 2025
This was a great way to unwind after a physically demanding trip around the Kimberley. The single cabin is small but comfortable and well-designed. The food was outstanding, the off-train excursions were fun, and there was plenty of time to sit and watch the scenery go by. Tracey was great with the booking and always answered any queries in a timely read more manner - taking all the hassle out of organizing the trip.
Excellent trip so pleased we did it! The Ghan - Adelaide To Alice Springs , United Kingdom, Jul 2025
A brilliant journey across Australia. We went as far as Alice Springs (which was enough for us as we didn't sleep particularly well on the train), food, drinks and service were excellent. We would highly recommend this.
Most fun ever getting from Darwin to Adelaide The Ghan Expedition , NSW, Australia, Jun 2025
Absolute no-hassle short break. Usual great service from Global Journeys, and excellent from Journey Beyond as well. From the pickup at the hotel and transfer to the rail terminal, where there was a great breakfast spread and live music while we waited to board to the drop off at the Adelaide terminal, everything was laid on and everyone was friendly read more and helpful. All of the off-train experiences were top-notch and the food, both on train and during excursion was excellent. The single sleeper was well designed but I wouldn't recommend it to tall people. I fitted very comfortably but I am also only just over 160cm tall. I would have no hesitations traveling with Journey Beyond again - Indian Pacific next!
Four days on a Train The Indian Pacific - Sydney To Perth , QLD, Australia, May 2025
A marvelous experience overall; train accommodation and food/service was superb all the way. Some (very) bumpy sections - rail/ballast replacement a must - and numerous long dead stops for passing traffic delayed progress. A marvelous way to see just how big Australia really is. WiFi coverage very patchy - a good thing in many ways to allow us to disconnect read more from technology and connect with people, but I doubt teenagers would see it that way. They would have to start talking to their parents - a horrible concept for both parties. The last night open-air dinner for 200 was special - tables right alongside the train, and a big starry sky. Incredible big finish to a wonderful adventure.
Unbelievable Northern Territory   The Ultimate Territory Tour , QLD, Australia, Mar 2025
We had a most wonderful experience visiting NT. The Ghan experience from Adelaide to Alice Springs and then Alice to Darwin was truly amazing - we were treated as valued guests. The 8 day Red Centre tour with driver Chris and wife Ella were delightful and always there to help - Ella's impromptu lunches were delicious! Chris certainly knew his history. read more The 3 day Outback Spirit Kakadu trip was also amazing - Pascale and Ash looked after us. Outback Spirit certainly provided the trip were were after!
