Wimmera trainspotters will have a chance to view one of Australia’s iconic trains when The Great Southern rail journey passes through the Wimmera on Friday.
The 771-metre-long train will leave Adelaide on Friday and make its way to Brisbane. The journey marks the start of the train’s seven-week season.
Returning to its original route through Victoria, The Great Southern will stop at Stawell, where travellers will visit the Grampians.
It will also stop at Canberra and Coffs Harbour before arriving in Brisbane on Sunday.
