2020 50c Indian Pacific 50th Anniversary Limited Edition PNC

On the morning of 26 February 1970, the Indian Pacific passenger service pulled into Perth East rail terminal to be greeted by a cheering crowd, around 10,000 strong. The train had left Sydney Central station three days before, to embark on the historic first uninterrupted passenger journey on standard-gauge rail link across the continent from the Pacific Ocean in the east to the Indian Ocean in the west. Today the Indian Pacific travels between Sydney and Perth via Adelaide, a 4,352-kilometre journey of around 65 hours, across the Nullarbor Plain.
