In 2021, I travelled on Journey Beyond's Overland train from Melbourne to Adelaide, the Indian Pacific from Sydney to Adelaide, the Ghan Platinum service from Adelaide to Darwin. The Great Southern is the company's brand new luxury train service. In the 2021-2022 season, Journey Beyond organised a special Christmas Great Southern trip, it departs Adelaide on Christmas Eve, passengers will then enjoy a sumptuous feast at the Hyatt Hotel Canberra on Christmas day, and after a short stopover in Coffs Harbour, the train will arrive Brisbane on boxing day. After 2 months of editing, I have put this festive three-day journey into a one hour long video, I hope you'll enjoy it! Let's go!!
This video was filmed from 23 December 2021 to 26 December 2021
