Five mornings per week (on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday
mornings) the Spirit of Queensland departs Cairns for the journey South to Brisbane.
It travels through the day and overnight before arriving at Brisbane Roma Street station
exactly 24 hours later the following morning. This is arguably Australias most modern
and technologically advanced passenger train, however it does not provide sleeping
accommodation.
Australian Rail Maps is an independent small business.
Since 1996 we have published online maps, timetables and journey planners to help visitors, residents, commuters and travellers get the most from Australia's extensive but un-integrated train, tram, bus and ferry networks.
We are not associated with any transport operators and our income comes from advertising on this website.
We believe train travel, and public transport generally, has so much potential, and we want to share the possibilites with everyone. Enjoy your travels.
