Rediscover the luxury of time with a rail journey along Queensland’s coast aboard the Spirit of Queensland.

With regular services each w​eek, it’s a great way to travel to visit friends and family or stop along the way to experience some of Queensland’s spectacular destinations including the Whitsundays, Townsville, Cairns or south to Bundaberg, Fraser Coast, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane with connections to travel furt​​her to the Gold Coast. Whether you’re travelling to see the natural wonders of the north or to catch the twinkling lights of the city in ​Brisbane, the Spirit of Queensland is an easy and sustainable way to travel between Brisbane and Cairns.

Long distance travel provides the luxury of time where you can sit back, take in the incredible scenery from your window and enjoy time for yourself. We recommend for your journey to bring along the books you’ve been meaning to read, some card games, puzzle or colouring-in books or download some playlists, podcasts or your favourite streaming videos for you and the kids to enjoy while travelling. ​Spirit of Queensland is not equipped with Wi-Fi service. ​​

​Train travel has so many benefits, but trains can be tricky to travel on. We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable journey.  Find out more about travelling safely with us on our Safety page – Act safe. Arrive safe.
