The Indian Pacific's menus have been carefully created to complement the Australian landscape, providing a spotlight on the regional food and wine variations afforded by this vast continent.

Travelling between Sydney and Perth presents passengers with not only a feast for the eyes, but for the taste buds as well.

Epicurean experiences between Sydney and Perth include:

• Pacific Ocean swordfish served on the first night's dinner in tribute to the eastern coast that marks this journey's departure point.
