Australian Gourmet Traveller – September 2019

(Brent) #1
The world is faster than it’s ever been before. There’s so much to see, so much to do, so much to taste, so much
to experience, and we’re always in a hurry. But every once in a while, we deserve to slow down. We deserve
to break free from the frantic energy that surrounds us and experience something diff erent – time.

With time we can fade away from the
noise, and truly let go. But we mustn’t rush
it. We owe it to ourselves to fi nd as much
time as possible. Time to dig deeper, time to
make new friends, time to uncover a rich new
palette of colours and fl avours. We should
fi nd time. Time to stop. Time to breathe-in
and feel invigorated, time to get to know the
details, and time to immerse ourselves in
the wonders of a completely diff erent kind
of world.


Allow us to share time with you, as you
wind through the rugged remoteness of an
ancient landscape. With three diff erent
rail journeys to choose from, a timeless
expedition of invigoration awaits. From the


iconic rails of The Ghan, to the incredibly
diverse Indian Pacifi c and the awe-inspiring
Great Southern, there’s something for every
taste, every second of the way.

Imagine fi nding the time to dine in an
underground sanctuary – the scorching sun
of Coober Pedy only metres above, but it
feels like it’s a world away. You’d think
being underground would deprive you
of your senses, but somehow, they are
heightened, elevated, impossibly. Imagine
gazing up at the Outback’s night sky, as
billions of fl ickering lights dazzle down from
above. It feels like a show that’s just for
you. The crackling of a bonfi re is the only
thing that reminds you of where you are,

but even then, you’re not quite sure. Moments
like these tend to distort your sense of time.
A minute can feel like an hour. Imagine a
journey fi lled with moments like these – that’s
the magic of rail travel.

Embarking on a rail journey is like stepping
into a time machine. Everything feels slower,
and because you’re able to fi nd the time,
you get to see the details. Every rock, every
blade of grass, every mouthful of food seems
more vivid, more intense, more unforgettable.

So, don’t rush it. Find time and embark on a
great Australian rail journey.
