The Indian Pacific
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Indian Pacific passes Kalgoorlie on its 4352 km long journey from Sydney to Perth.
    I took the train from Adelaide to Kalgoorlie and enjoyed the trip a lot. Just had a place in the "cheap" seater section, but it was comfy enough for me. There's a lot of legroom, the seats do recline and there's even a shower in the carriage!
    I had to change the date on my ticket and was pleasantly surprised that it was done without any problems nor a fee!
    Before buying your ticket, get a YHA (Youth Hostel Association)card. It saved me 50%!

    Getting Around
    There is a Kalgoorlie-Boulder public bus service called the TransGoldfields service. The buses go from 101 Hannas Street to the suburbs of Lamington, Hannans and Piccadilly during the hours of 7.00am to 5.00pm on weekdays. There are also taxis to get you around – Twin City Cabs. If you don’t drive yourself to Kalgoorlie, then it is best to take guided tours while there.

    Twin City Cabs : Ph 9021 2177

    Driving
    Kalgoorlie is around 600km east of Perth. It will take you around 7 hours driving along the Great Eastern Hwy. It is a long and boring road at times and for the last 100kms, you should make sure you fill up because there is a long stretch after Southern Cross where there is no opportunity to find gas.

    Transwa is probably WA's best regional transport provider linking many regional centres by train or coach services.

    The "Australind" train provides a quick and efficient twice daily rail link between Perth and Bunbury and the "Prospector" train between Perth and Kalgoorlie.

    Transwa also operates coach services to places such as Kalbarri in the north, Esperance in the south-east and Albany & Augusta in the south.

    By Train
    Travelling Perth to Kalgoorlie by train will take you over the Darling Range. The Indian Pacific runs twice a week from Perth to Adelaide and Sydney and stops in Kalgoorlie. There is also a less expensive way on the Prospector service with Transwa which runs daily to Kalgoorlie and return. The trip takes about 7 ¾ hours. The train station sits on Forrest Street with the Railway Hotel opposite.
