Operating 16 departures between December and January, the Great Southern invites you on a breathtaking journey. With its decades-old sister trains, The Ghan and the Indian Pacific, the Great Southern introduces a new journey for anyone with a taste for adventure.

Stepping aboard the mighty train, you’ll feel a great sense of anticipation as this unforgettable Australian adventure begins to unfold. Whether you’re journeying from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific or the other way round, you’ll be making your way across the longest stretch of straight railway track in the world.

When 10,000 people lined the East Perth Terminal in 1970 to herald the first unbroken rail journey across the country – a new, seamless connection between the Indian and Pacific Oceans – an historic Australian milestone was achieved and the Indian Pacific took its name from the coasts it joined.

This incredible 4352 kilometre crossing is one of the world’s great rail journeys. An adventure of contrasts, it encompasses the towering majesty of the Blue Mountains to the barren expanse of the Nullarbor, and every goldmine, ghost town and grapevine in between. From inside and outside your cabin, you’ll be captivated by the vast beauty of this magnificent country.

In this pristine and beautiful wilderness region Sal Salis takes great care to protect the fragile eco-system. Accommodation is in fifteen spacious Wilderness Tents and one Honeymoon Tent, all are designed to blend with the dunes. Each has an ensuite bathroom with an eco-friendly loo and hot water shower as well as supremely comfortable beds and views of the Indian
Ocean. The social heart of the camp includes lounge, bar and library areas and is raised above the coastal scrub affording views of the reef and the breakers beyond. Chef prepared meals are served communally.

The focus of your stay is the environment and a team of passionate guides are on hand to host guided snorkelling, kayak expeditions and walks in the Ranges. Sal Salis is the perfect base from which to swim with whale sharks (April to July) and with humpback whales (August to October). At night lie out on the beach to stare up at the Milky Way and a canopy of stars stretching across the southern night skies.
