First Class Spirit of the Outback train Brisbane to Longreach review - QR Queensland Rail Australia

The Spirit of the Outback is a two weekly railway service from Brisbane to Longreach, the train consists of 4 first class carriages, 2 economy class carriages and 3 lounges.

In my opinion this is the most luxurious train journey you can get in Queensland. The First Class features a cabin with lockable door, a seat which can convert into a bed in the evening, a shower room, an entertainment tablet, and all inclusive meals for this 25h45m journey!!


This is the most enjoyable train journey I've ever head in my life, I would highly recommend you to watch the whole video, but if you only have limited time, these are the highlights in this video:
