A look at 35 trips that highlight some of the most interesting, scenic and rewarding railway journeys in Australia and New Zealand. They include the renowned long-distance journeys, such as The Indian Pacific in Australia that takes travellers on a three-day trip from Perth to Sydney or the The Northern Explorer in New Zealandâ´s North Island that stretches from Wellington to Auckland, as well as those that traverse stunning scenery, such as New Zealandâ´s TranzAlpine train or the Spirit of the Outback in Australia. There are also routes on which restored steam locomotives operate and other lines included for the wonder of their engineering.¬â Trains are a great way to travel in these countries, taking you at ground level past superb scenery that often cannot be seen by any other means of transport. David Bowdenâ´s entertaining text describes the route, the major features of interest along the way and any special technical details about the locomotive or the track.
