Perth to Adelaide train timetable
The Perth to Adelaide train timetable has the Indian Pacific departing East Perth station once a week. It leaves on Sundays at 10.00, arriving in Adelaide on Tuesdays at 07.20. Given the one and a half hour time difference between WA and SA, that makes for a total Perth to Adelaide train journey time of 43 hours and 50 minutes.

Of course, at these sorts of prices, you may prefer to undertake the epic Perth to Adelaide drive instead. Or, simply do as most Australians do, and fly between the two cities.
