Pichi Richi Railway

A full day adventure into the Flinders Ranges starts here at Port Augusta.  Travelling in heritage carriges, the Afghan Express rail journey departs the Port Augusta Railway Station at 10.30am, travels to Quorn for a two hour stop over allowing time for sight seeing or lunch, before departing at 2.30 to arrive back at Port Augusta at approx. 4.30. It is such a beautiful journey. 

Powered either by steam or historic diesel engines, depending on the season, the carriages showcase immaculately restored timber-body carriages that are up to 115 years old.  

Services from April through to October.

In addition, the Pichi Richi Explorer runs out of Quorn for half-day tours most weekends with additional services for South Australian school holidays.
