Journey to Australia's Golden Outback by Train | TransWa Prospector Perth to Kalgoorlie Review

Join me on this comprehensive review of TransWA's flagship and only long distance Western Australia Passenger train service as we hop on board the Prospector Train and journey to Australia's Golden Outback from East Perth to the gold mining outback city of Kalgoorlie which is located some 653km east of Perth by rail. Completing the journey in just 6 hour and 55 minutes means whilst certainly it is not in the same league as many European or North Asian high speed trains, surprisingly the Prospector train service is considered to be the fastest average passenger speed train in Australia!

Whilst much of the attention of great Australia's railway journeys tends to focus on east coast routes, The Prospector is often forgotten about as a contender for one of Australia's best regional train services which transports its passengers from the Mediterranean city of Perth to Australia's golden outback in little under 7 hours!

In today's review of the Prospector Train I seek to showcase all aspects of the Prospector train service with everything from the railway cars themselves, seating, crew, on board catering, entertainment, seating and also practical information such as pricing, booking and route information.

Whilst I'm at it I'll also showcase all all the magnificent scenery that you can expect along the way as the train departs out of Perth and through the lush green rolling hills of the Avon Valley and then through the prime agricultural lands of the Wheatbelt all before it enters the starkly different looking Australians goldfields en-route into Kalgoorlie! I'll also be sure point out and provide some basic history or information about the notable towns and stations that the train stops at as well.

**Corrections**
In my commentary about the train services that you can take from East Perth Station I incorrectly said that the AvonLink departs this station, it in fact actually departs from Midland Station, some 16kms from that station
