Adelaide

The Indian Pacific gives you plenty of relaxation time, you cruise out of outer sydney, have dinner on the train and awake the next morning in Broken Hill 0820. From there its another 10 hours looking out the window until you arrive in Adelaide at 1840.

A little inconvenient you miss the Ghan by 6 hours. You have to stay 2 nights in Adelaide. There are some unique sites to see and some even more unique public transport.

• The Adelaide O-Bahn, world longest guided busway.
• The only diesel suburban rail network left in Asutralia
  
• See if you can get one of the jumbo's, they usually run during peak hours only and make an interesting ride. Might be one of the last diesel-hydraulic transmission railcars left too.
  
• All the trains are broad gauge, plenty of shoulder room.
• Sitting up the front of the 3000 class DMU will give you a driver side view of the road.
• The trip up to Belair and back is another picturesque ride.
• The Glenelg tram is interesting, don't know how often the old H class trams run, but catch one, their nearly 80 years old.
