Indian Pacific with Discover Rottnest

Indian Pacific guests heading west from Adelaide to Perth will celebrate the start of their journey with the ‘Flavours of South Australia Welcome Dinner', held at the Adelaide Parklands Terminal. A showcase of fabulous food and world-class wine, this complimentary pre-boarding event delivers the best bottles from around SA and sublime regional offerings from both land and sea. Stay: Indian Pacific (D)

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast with expansive desert views, followed by a stop at the outback ghost town of Cook. A spectacular dinner under the stars awaits at Rawlinna (seasonal), the Nullarbor outpost that borders a ‘little' sheep station of a mere 8,000 square kilometres. Stay: Indian Pacific (B/L/D)

After a restful sleep, sit down for breakfast as the picturesque rolling hills of the Avon Valley pass you by. Perth is your final destination, arriving mid-afternoon. (B/L)

Rottnest Express sets sail from Perth's Barrack Street Jetty. Sit back and enjoy the views as you cruise the Swan River with informative commentary along the way. After a brief stop in Fremantle, it is only a short ferry ride to Rottnest Island. With 63 gorgeous beaches, 45kms of walking trails and a fascinating cultural heritage and amazing native wildlife, you are sure to enjoy your time on "Rotto".

Upon arrival, join your full-island bus tour. The air-conditioned bus is one of the few transport vehicles permitted on Rottnest Island and is the perfectly comfortable way to experience the beauty of this super-scenic isle. The 90 minute tour visits the island's most spectacular locations, with insightful commentary shining a light on Rottnest Island's unique flora, fauna, history and culture. The bus stops at the rugged West End where you can hop off, take a short walk and soak up the views.

Lunch is included, followed by some free time to explore Rottnest Island at your leisure and hopefully meet a Quokka, before you head back to Perth later in the day. (L)
