@Teaceratops Iâm seeing youâve had a lot of replies that I donât have visibility of, so apologies if Iâm repeating.
Will rail travel to Perth work? You can ride the Indian Pacific to Perth - https://www.journeybeyondrail.com.au/indian-pacific/
Fair warning itâs not a ârealâ intercity rail experience like you might find in a civilised country. Itâs more of a novelty tourism experience. Kinda like âexperience rail travel from a bygone era because we havenât made any infrastructure investment in high speed rail.â Although I think youâre not supposed to say the second part out loud.
It will be slow and expensive but it will get them there.
