Discover the highlights of the sunniest capital in Australia with this exploration of Perth and beyond. Start in Perth, where you'll explore the coastline and venture into the Pinnacles Desert.

This 11-day Australian vacation takes you to Perth to explore the highlights of Western Australia before riding the Indian Pacific railroad east to Sydney. It features economy, moderate, or first-class accommodations in Perth and Sydney depending on preference, deluxe accommodations on board the train, shared tours, and is an ideal introduction to Australia.

Your journey begins in Perth, Western Australia's capital and the most remote capital on the planet. Get to know this sunny city on the west coast with a city tour of its highlights and nearby Fremantle. Venture through King Park Botanical Gardens, stroll along the forest canopies of the Tree Top Walk, and feel the sand beneath your feet at Cottesloe Beach before cruising along the Swan River to see Perth's swankest suburbs. The next day, swing by the lobster fishing town of Cervantes and learn about Australia's lobster industry before venturing into the Pinnacles Desert to gaze upon the rocky limestone formations that transform the desert into an alien landscape. Cap off the day with a sandboarding adventure. On your final day in Perth, explore the tranquility of Rottnest Island with a 90-minute tour, seeing Wadjemup Lighthouse and strolling along the boardwalk of the rugged West End.

You'll then board the Indian Pacific, a breathtaking train that transports travellers back to the golden age of travel during its journeys across the Outback. Enjoy the comforts of a luxury hotel and gourmet cuisine as you journey east towards Sydney. On your first day, pass through the rolling hills of the Avon Valley on route to the wild west township of Kalgoorlie. The next day, watch the sunrise over the Nullarbor Plain before spotting bounding kangaroo herds on the way to the ghost town of Cook, travelling along the longest single stretch of railway in the world. Reach Adelaide and head on a walking tour through the capital of South Australia. Later, stop off at Broken Hill, Australia's silver capital. On your final morning aboard, wake up to sights of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales before reaching Sydney to disembark.
