A deviated route
NR30 and NR15 guide 6KB8 towards Acacia Ridge. This was one of the final Great Southern services of the 2023/24 season and was affected by flood-related track works down south, leading to a morning arrival within QLD. The luxury train ran an altered route through NSW to bypass these track works, offering unique off-train experiences for guests and adding an extra 15 hours to the train's total travel time. The Great Southern typically arrives on a Sunday afternoon in Acacia Ridge where most spots in QLD are backlit, so the diversion afforded some lovely morning light up here.
