If you are rich you could enjoy a 4 day trip across a continent on the Indian Pacific about 4500km from Sydney to Perth via Adelaide. You'd also enjoy the longest straight piece of railway track in the world.

Those vehicles in the rear of that train reminds me our AMTRAK Autotrain. The tickets to ride that monster. Good Lord in Heaven.

There is always The Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin, an even longer train, the journey is only 3000km and 3 days but still expensive.
I have driven it a few times but never been by train.

The big problem with trains in Australia is the different gauges in the various states.
For example NSW is standard gauge, Victoria is broad gauge while Queensland is narrow gauge, SA had several gauges. WA - no clue. The NT didn't have a railway. That's colonisation for you.
Until relatively recently you had to change trains at the state borders
