WOMADelaide 1996 - Indian Pacific

The 1996 'off-year' from full-scale festivals in Botanic Park saw the creation of a one-off ‘WOMAD Indian Pacific’ train trip from Perth to Pimba on the iconic railway. The 2000km trip across the Nullabor on a chartered Indian Pacific Train featured performances on board the carriages and culminated in a finale concert at Spud’s Roadhouse at Pimba, 480km North of Adelaide.

The concert drew in locals and Indigenous communities from the Western Desert in addition to a swathe of adventurous music fans making the road-trip up from Adelaide.
