Awaken early this morning as the train arrives in Broken Hill - the outback town famous for its mining history and appearance in the cult classic movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Alight the train to enjoy your choice of off-train experiences; immersing in art at the country's oldest regional gallery, viewing desert sculptures, exploring town with a Drag Queen, taking a moment at the Miner's Memorial, or simply enjoying a milkshake at a retro milk-bar. Return to the train for a delicious breakfast as you continue your westward journey, watching the landscape transform from semi-arid scrubland to the striking russet and ochre tones of the ancient Southern Flinders Ranges. By mid-afternoon, you’ll arrive in the charming city of Adelaide.
