有没有想过坐着火车去澳洲那些远离城市,荒无人烟,前不着村后不着店的地方去看一看,体验真正的澳洲荒野之旅,和澳洲人常说的“Outback”。下面几条火车线路,也许有机会你可以试一试。
THE GULFLANDER (昆士兰州)
澳洲最偏僻的一条火车线。从距离布里斯班2000公里的一个叫Normanton的小镇出发,火车只有两节车厢,没空调,没时速表,目的除了游客乘坐外主要负责投递当地居民的信件。这条线上你可以真正感受到湛蓝的天空,无污染的空气,清风从车窗吹进,这是大自然,乡野的魅力。
OPERATOR: Queensland Rail
WEBSITE: www.queenslandrail.com.au
WHERE: Normanton, approximately 500km west of Cairns
DISTANCE: 151 kilometres (each way)
TRAVEL TIME: 5 hours (each way)
HOW OFTEN: Departs Normanton Wednesdays, returns to Normanton Thursdays
THE PICHI RICHI RAILWAY (南澳)
蒸汽火车从南澳的Augusta出发,行驶43公里至小镇Quorn。火车行驶极其缓慢,不过重要的是你在感受历史,一条澳洲著名的火车线路,当年The Ghan就从这条路线去Alice Springs,那时要耗时3天3夜。
OPERATOR: Pichi Richi Railway
WEBSITE: www.prr.org.au
WHERE: Port Augusta to Quorn
DISTANCE: 86 kilometres return
TRAVEL TIME: Six hours (Port August - Quorn return, with a two-hour stopover in Quorn)
HOW OFTEN: Regular but variable, with additional services during school holidays. Check website for timetable details.
THE GHAN (纵穿澳洲,从南到北)
澳洲最火的一条线路,车内很舒适,它横穿2979公里,行驶2天2夜从南澳阿德莱德到红色中心艾丽丝泉,然后再到北领地的达尔文。游客们可以一路欣赏沿途美景。火车名字的由来也很有趣,取自早期沿此线路行走的阿富汗骆驼。
OPERATOR: Great Southern Rail
WEBSITE: www.gsr.com.au
WHERE: Adelaide to Darwin
DISTANCE: 2979 kilometres
TRAVEL TIME: 2.5 days
HOW OFTEN: Once weekly each direction (twice weekly each direction June-August)
IDA BAY RAILWAY (塔斯马尼亚)
澳洲最南端的铁路线,从霍巴特的西南边的Lune River出发,行驶14公里至Deep Hole 的老港口。线路的终点直通火车或游船,想想也很过瘾呢。
OPERATOR: Ida Bay Railway
WEBSITE: www.idabayrailway.com.au
WHERE: Ida Bay (Lune River)
DISTANCE: 14 kilometres return
TRAVEL TIME: Approximately 2 hours return (including a break at Deep Hole)

INDIAN PACIFIC (横穿澳洲,从东到西)
这是澳洲最长的火车线路,全程4352公里,Sydney出发,至Perth,2天3夜。火车沿途经过世界最长的直行轨道(477公里),跨越3个时区。旅途经过Nullarbor Plain地段非常惊恐,虽然已确保安全,可周围就是让你有一种探险,不安的感觉。
