Be a part of sharing special places and shaping lasting memories with Australia's leading experiential tourism business.

About Us

Our Rail Division, previously known as Great Southern Rail ("GSR") operates Australia's iconic rail journeys, The Ghan, Indian Pacific, The Overland and Great Southern.

There are very few global journeys considered national treasures, but our trains are, without question, iconic Australian experiences. From the moment our guests (and potentially you) step aboard these legendary trains, you can feel it – a spirit of adventure and a sense of something very special about to unfold.

 About Journey Beyond

Australia's leading experiential tourism group, Journey Beyond, is privileged to operate a range of brands spanning the country, connecting guests to the land, and to each other.

  • Achieving budgetary targets through strategic management of workflows, labour costs, waste, and supplier relationships.
  • Inspiring and developing a passionate team, cultivating a high-performance culture that puts guests at the heart of everything we do.

About You

  • Organised, strategic, and adept at planning for both immediate needs and long-term objectives.
  • Deeply committed to enhancing the guest experience, aligning every action with our promise of 'sharing special places and shaping lasting memories'.
