Question

i want to stay in cairns travel to sydney and veiw the land by train

Answer 1

With a stop in Brisbane, yes. The train from Cairns to Brisbane takes a couple of days. It is worth getting a sleeper, sitting up for two days is no joke. Brisbane to Sydney is about 15 hours with most of the trip in daylight. You can get a night train but that requires a bus from Brisbane to Casino to get the train. The night train without a sleeper is not recommended.

no, unfortunately there is not a train which goes DIRECTLY from Cairns to Sydney. there used to be a luxury train service called The Great South Pacific Express which ran between the two cities, however the service became unprofitable and ceased in 2003.

South Island - Picton-Christchurch and Christchurch-Greymouth. you're able to bus or lease a motor vehicle to work out an incredible form of the country, however the three significant long distance routes are scenic and nicely worth a as quickly as off. The Picton-Christchurch and Christchurch-Greymouth ones function as quickly as daily, Auckland-Wellington numerous situations a week. The infrastructure is advantageous for freight, the equipment has been freight orientated because of the fact the Fifties, yet frankly NZ's low inhabitants and espresso inhabitants density made rail unviable for many passenger strikes whilst highway transport grew to grow to be low-cost and effective. Trains are at superb resembling buses, each and every now and returned somewhat slower, and constantly slower than making use of. expenditures selection, yet are equivalent to buses, each and every now and returned particularly greater ( yet then flying could be low-cost too).
