We were very happy to take the train this time although it was going to take 33 hours and you could fly in a couple of hours. It was very worth while to see all the lovely countyside, you would missed in the air. The girls that looked after you were all first class and everone had a good time.... More

Even a friend who has a welfare pass to use this, pays the extra to move up a class. It is well used by sponsored welfare recipients who fail to show any respect for either the facility or fellow travellers. Avoid it.

Having travelled on this train to Cairns I found it to be a great way to journey my way north. The food produced to placate a hungry tummy is of very good and reasonable fare. The 24 hour trip is great for those who want to see a bit of Queensland too.

Wonderful ride and on time. Food and service leaves a lot to be desired.

It's very nice having your own space in your seat allocation where you can stretch your legs out. You also get your own small television/entertainment screen and don't have to crane your neck like in other forms of cross-country transport.

the Tilt is slow by international standards and unreliable by any measure...the scenery is great but best seen by car unless you are a train buff in which case the train will disappoint even more..So fly if you are in a hurry or drive to see the country
