There is no way a 24 hour train trip is worth 4600 dollars. That is crazy but thanks for doing it and showing the rest of us peasants your journey
Way back then, we used go to the Biennial Festival in Adelaide. One year, we decided that we'd catch the Indian Pacific back to Sydney. To do so, we had to take a Sth Australian day train from Adelaide to Peterborough and change. That was a bit of a nuisance, but nothing much. The day train was comfortable and was well timed. It was slow.. We enjoyed seeing the change in scenery as we travelled north, but having done the journey once had no thought of a repeat. We were back in Adelaide a few Festivals later at the time pilots were going on strikes. One morning we awoke to news that there would be a strike which would interfere with our return. Now, we do like Adelaide, but had work to get back to, so we straightaway dashed to Adelaide station and booked our return journey. In the couple of years since out previous journey, there'd been work to the tracks and standard gauge trains, including the Indian Pacific came into West Adelaide eliminating the change at Peterborough. Again, a pleasant train journey back. Having a double compartment each time meant that we had our own shower and loo, with no need to journey down the corridor. On each occasion, the food was far from adventurous but good cooking of quality ingredients. All staff were pleasant. We ventured once to the Lounge Car, but it was not the sort of place we enjoyed - but obviously it appealed to others..
Top quality subtitles with first class humour - as always
yes
You often say "the only thing not fitting in is me". Kuga, I think you fit in just fine 😄 You're a seasoned traveller who loves adventure, so you can fit in anywhere! It takes a lot of courage to do it all solo as well.
Thanks for another wonderful journey!🎉
That's the way I would like to travel. (Not going to happen) The luxury of your own bathroom cannot be under estimated. What a great journey.
Somebody buy this guy some socks that don’t cost $3000 US…
Those little blue chocolates they give you are exclusive and very yummy - and so they should be, it is the most expensive chocolate in the world given the cabin cost 😂. With the nightcap - when I travelled Perth to Sydney, the attendant asked if I would like Baileys or Port. My response - yes. So I was duly left one of each for the 3 nights..
Thankyou Kuga, Ive been a Driver on that train some years back...next time your over let me know...their is a lot of Japaneese history in Cowra NSW( you werent far from that) and a memorial garden too the POWs and their famous escape..thanks for sharing regards Doc
My wallet would be crying as well. If I could overcome wallet fears, I'd go in a heartbeat. Thank you for this video.
Kuga's excellent manners are a good influence on us all ;)
You can see my wallet is empty n crying all the time 😂
If train travel is your passion then there are cheaper options on this train.....Also if U ever drive from Adelaide to Sydney there is a lot of towns and hotels along they way so don;t think i your car breaks down U R out there all by yourself......Plenty of familes try this route and the towns along the way are nice too.
Hello there young man just discovered your Chanel absolutely enjoyed it so relaxing and your information was great and I’m an Australian so welcome happy travels 😊
Thanks for watching! 👍
Don't forget to subscribe my channel and check out my other Australian videos!😉
a very enjoyable journey. thanks for taking us along. and it didn't cost me $3,000. LOL. The train trip I'd love to do is Toronto to Vancouver in Canada - beautiful country and it goes through the Canadian Rockies
I’d rather eat alone and enjoy the food than to be distracted by conversation lol
Expensive but perfect relaxation and the menu was fantastic including the great nightcap choice. Loved the style on the train.
Love your videos your commentary is hilarious so funny I have been binge watching all of your videos they are wonderful the food looks amazing and you display the rooms and show every aspect of the trip ⭐️⭐️
25:01 those socks ( yours ) are unique..! Breathable and with A/C ! The meaning of comfort!😅😅😅😅😅
"How can he afford-" (sees THOSE SOCKS) aha I see economies were made
Thanks for taking one for the team Kuga. Welcome to Australia - land of high prices and low value. Back in the 90's there used to be a thing called the Caper fare on the Indian Pacific - we would get that from Perth to Sydney. All you got was the seat for 4 days. Really helped to smuggle on a lot of booze to make the time pass. I think it was even cheaper than getting the bus across. Anyway, thanks again. Always wanted to see what was inside the fancy bit. Lol.
Kuga this is one of the best trains i have ever seen!
Thank-you for sharing your train experiences in such a unique and relaxing way. I always look forward to your videos!
Thank you once again Kuga, you always take us on the most amazing and scenic train journeys, that cabin looked very luxurious, and that food looked incredible.
Any chance we get an orange juice ranking video? Yous surely must be a connoisseur by now.
Great train trip!
Great experience.
いつも楽しみにしています。
Two different worlds watching you fill your meal card I had a flashback to your Amtrak meal card & experience.
You know its a longhaul vid when he's in the Boulder shirt 😅
Yeah, but the socks…😵😵💫
I cannot fathom affording nonstop travel costs. But hey to each their own right.🙋🏻♀️🇨🇦🌱🐘🌱🐘🌱🐘🌱
Great video and I am sure you fit in fine on that train! Every country gets tourists, that’s what keeps them going. I laughed when I saw those socks 🤣 you for sure needed them 😊
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video
I love your videos. You have a wonderful sense of humor. You actually make me laugh out loud when I'm by myself. Thank you❤
US$3000 just from Adelaide to Sydney? That's very pricey!
He said it's a luxury train, of course it will gonna be expensive. It's cloose to Orient Express. Look how big that couchette is , how it looks and what bathroom it has. That's not your ordinary train.
Adelaide to Sydney...can be as low as $ 800 Aus....did it last year in gold single...
@@noway5347 well he said he did that before and now was in the platinum room
@@loredanadincu7930 It still isn't remotely $3000 worth. You thinking it is shows you've been brainwashed by capitalism, which is exactly why these companies do shit like this.
They were blessed to have you. Nice new socks, too. Gorgeous video, thank you, Kuga san. Camp 7 rules the Indian Pacific Premium!
Thank you for a super travel experience. I did enjoy the trip.❤❤
It looked wonderful!
This was great. Thank you 🦘
Wonderful video! And you are never out of place!
Beautiful .Thank you Kuga❤🎉
Ashfaq from (INDIA) we feel very happy to see this journey.
To answer your question, soba is becoming more and more popular as a salad base because it's gluten free, delicious, and an alternative to pasta, bread or rice.
Thanks for the videos and Sydney is still beautiful as it was when I was there last time (so long ago). I miss it so much and will get back at some day.
Thank you for making such wonderful content ❤❤❤
I’ve done this very trip. Fun and unforgettable
Thank you for doing a wonderfiul job sharing your travels with us, as always. This looks like a rare treat! 🐻☕
Another great video Kuga, thanks for taking us along for the ride. Love kiki.
very beautiful. thank you for the video. liked it.🥰🥰
*very nice video. Thank yiou for sharing us*
Thank you for a very enjoyable train trip…..
A very nice video. Those carriages look like old American Budd cars. Nicely refitted.
Thank You, it was so interesting)
Excellent thank you
I would have gone mad if they served me just that as a lunch, for so much money.
There is an entire menu with available lunch dishes and he fancied this one. To each their own right 🤷♂️
I always find it interesting that rooms on trains in other countries often can be locked from the outside. In US on Amtrak, you can only lock the door when you are inside the cabin. I've always wanted to take a long train trip, but not if my things are exposed to theft if I leave the room.
🙂It's always a pleasure to watch your video. Have a nice day 🍒🍒🍒
Very nice. Thank you. 15:26 You say, " The only thing that isn't fitting is me" ...No... from the Big Labowski... "sometimes there's a man, well, he's the man for his time'n place, he fits right in there..." That's you, dude. (You be you, they'll adjust.)
This video would be good if there were no commercials every 3 minutes. It's so unenjoyable.
The chocolate looked so lovely!
this channel is a vibe
Thanks!
Thank you!🤝
Thanks for the video. The cabin is quite big and the big windows are very nice. I do not understand why there would be a see through to the toilet and shower. Even travelling as a couple would be challenging.
Great video
$3000 for a day and a night-wow. To that, I'd have to add the cost of airfare from the US East Coast to Oz. Double wow.
I am so glad you had such a lovely time. I just wish it was longer and not so expensive for you!! You must love train travel.
very nice !
Thanks for the videos Kuga. From Australia :)
Thank you!🤝
Thanks
Thank you!🤝
Stasiunnya lengang sekali, dan menyenangkan. Terlihat nyaman. Suasana dalam kereta dan pemandangan yang bersih.. .
Great trip. Another Indian Pacific trip, this time on luxurious cabin. I would say the overall is great.
must be a nice experience
好山好水 好好玩❤❤❤
At least you didn’t cough the whiskey out your nose. …commenting for a friend! 😂
Amazing train, food and accommodations. Wickedly expensive!
very funny, fantastic job
With the whiskey maybe try an ice block, that will make it smoother
Ice in single malt?? That's just barbaric 😱
Bom dia boa viagem ai bonito trem cama show trem lindo e grande ficou maravilhoso
Thank you for sharing your experience on the Indian Pacific, so named because it travels between the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. I live in Sydney, next time you're here feel free to let me know if I can support or assist you in any way. Would be great to meet you and express my appreciation for your journeys in person and share my own appreciation for the Japanese trains I experienced on my visits there. Cheers!
I'm glad you're enjoying yourself here in Australia, Kuga! I've only ever travelled in Gold, so thank you for the experience in Platinum! Also, re: the soba... I think we just like using cold noodles in salad in general... (we do have excellent beef tho, I agree)
Enjoy how you thank the cow, the crew and everything else in between ;-)
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸. Nice sceneries and train ride. Cheers 🌷🌷
Very entertaining as usual!
Thank you!🤝
Yes, let's give even more money to someone who can afford to spend $3000 for this. I think he's doing fine financially.
@@englishatheart A little bitter, one thinks. His socks betrayed his wealth?
Kugo is number 1 traveler in Japon , thank you for every vedio , one of the ship sundue is bought by Thailand.
Mum and I did The Ghan and Indian Pacific in Gold Twin Pull man carriage (disabled) close to Explorer lounge and Queen Adelaide restaurant. Extra room but beds not comfy. We broke up our trips. Going half way and doing the other half in extra trips. Platinum is costly. Memories.
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. 😊 If possible I want to catch The Great Southern for my 50th in 2026.
You should have gone to the Blue Mountains. Also a full train tour would be nice.
As a comparison, I spent the same money on a 9 night cruise on Celebrity Edge from Sydney to Melbourne, Adelaide, Kangaro Island and Hobart, all inclusive of drinks and food and shore excursions! 😀
プラチナぜいたくですね。でも食事の時に一人とはちょっと寂しい。オーストラリアの食事は美味しいとはおもいませんでしたが、素材がとてもいいと感じました。肉でも魚でもソーセージでもチーズでも。コーヒーやお茶、パンなどもおいしい。カンガルーとラクダ食いましたわ🙂🙃🙂
27:22-27:28 stunning! This is in the horseshoe curve east of Sodwell.
No its in Australia yank
YOU mean it is $4600 dollars for a 29 hour, 1 night trip??? OH forget that. There are much cheaper fares with just as nice accommodations on Amtrak in the USA. I could ride several weeks for that kind of money! Wow! NO way!! I could see lots of places for that kind of cash! HOLY MOSES!
This dude said Amtrak is just as nice 😂
Love a Kuga upload. May I ask what your watch is?
Thanks in advance.
I guess this would be what it would be like if Via Rail in Canada sold off their transcontinental route "The Canadian" to a private company.
"the only thing not fitting is me" kuga san T__T daijoubu desu !!
I wish we have a business where you have a simulation room that give us 99% experience of this kind of ride, which might only cost few hundreds bucks. I mean with techs like motion simulator and a good TV as 'window' it's not impossible to achieve that, I guess😅
"$4200 CAD"??? I'm Canadian and that sounds so very expensive for a one day train trip...But wow, those socks were definitely a good win!
Very expensive trip, you can fly many times from Adelaide to Sydney for that price, the cabin did look very spacious and comfortable and the food looked nice and Great video it’s interesting to see what’s it’s like but I couldn’t afford it and couldn’t justify it
Love the true Aussie expression of “FUCK ME” when I assume they see the room at 6:20
I've had kangaroo once, and I thought it was aged beef. It was really tasty.
💛💛💛
Hi Kuga.
Thanks for the video, and your sense of humour. I am sorry you felt alone while dining. The sad fact is that, although it's a wonderful journey, on an amazing train, it's price is by far too extravagant for many Aussies. So the travellers on it tend to be old, retired people , spending their children's inheritance (😂) ...or international tourists.and mostly they travel as couples.
I live on the East coast of Australia, and have family in Perth . I would prefer to travel by train, but the reality is flying is cheaper ( depending of course, on class of travel, and the airline).
There is sadly no " public" train service from the East to the West , so if a person cannot fly, this train is the only option, and can often be booked out at least 12-18 months into the future 🤯😮
You should have a pretty to go along this wonderful trip 😂
The food looked pretty great but this is the loudest shakiest train I have ever seen on your channel. I hope it was still worth the money with how squeaky and violent the ride was!
Only Adelaide to Sydney? Haven't you done the whole trip? 🤔
He did do it, was awhile ago though
@@ianpilkington2037 I'll have to go back and see. 👍🇦🇺
@@downunderrob I think it was relatively recent if I remember right, somewhere in the last year maybe?
He did just in bits😁
👍
More money then sense just to hear clickly clack clickly clack all the way across 😂
