Australian Vista Trains

Has anyone ever been on an Australian rail tour?
It looks like something I would really enjoy.
I'm looking at Rail Australia Homepage – Authentic Australian Journeys but would love to have some local insight.
I'm liking The Ghan and the Indian Pacific routes myself.

And the Kuranda Scenic Railway.

That whole site makes rail travel in Australia sound very nice indeed!

Is rail travel in Australia a state secret?
