Slim Dusty - Indian Pacific Lyrics
From coast to coast by night and day, hear the clickin' of the wheels
The hummin' of the diesel on her ribbons of steel
Carryin' the memories of a nation built by hand
See the Indian Pacific span the land
From the blue Pacific waters to where the mountains rise
By lakes and wide brown rivers, through desert country dry
See the Indian Pacific passin' by
Oh the Indian Pacific she goes rollin' down the track
Five thousand miles to travel before she's there and back
Beside the line, a drover waves his battered old grey hat
And kids are catchin' yabbies down by the river flat
And a woman hangs her washing in a backyard near the line
Hear the whistle blowin' lonely 'neath the Nullabor star light
Saluting those who walk across the track she romps tonight
Callin' to the railway camp and the fettlers on the line
I'm the Indian Pacific, right on time
From the silver of the Broken Hill to old Kalgoorlie gold
She mirrors all the colours of the land so hard and old
Then the western clouds are blooming and the air is just like wine
And the Indian Pacific's makin' time
Oh the Indian Pacific she goes rollin' down the track
Five thousand miles to travel before she's there and back
From the waters of the western sea to the eastern ocean sand
The Indian Pacific spans the land
Oh the Indian Pacific spans the land

One of our best
I’m sad I did not see dust
A TRUE LEGEND..💕💕💕💕💕
My dad sings slim dusty some times at contry music
My Hubby is a big fan, drops anything when hears him
who is the guitarist , great finale to the song on solo
Pretty sure the young fella on the electric is Ian Simpson. Best known as a 5-string banjo virtuoso, but a very fine muso all-round.
Spot on. Fiddle player is Mike Kerrin. The both went on to form Flying Emus with John & Genni Kane. Top country/bluegrass Aussie band
I agree with R.L. I did the trip in 1993 & i hope im able to do the trip again before I rip love slim
The Indian Pacific from Sydney to Perth or vv is a trip to remember. Did it in 1999 and want to do it again someday. Fantastic experience!!
Love train songs

Canadian Pacific Tim hus... Aussie is better but he's a good mix up
R.I.P slim

One really great train in the world Indian Pacific
Love Slim. The fiddle playing in this is awesome.
Dwight Lemke. You sir, with the greatest respect and no offence meant, must never nave been on a train trip or you would instantly relate to the lyrics. One point of interest. Joy McKean (Slims' wife) wrote this song and I see the images so crystal clear in my mind.
