A good place to check out is http://www.railpage.org.au - there is an XPT
link which is currently Australias fastest train at 160km/h (which is NOT
fast), and also a link to a Queensland Rail site, which has information on
the new QR electric tilt train to operate Brisbane - Rockhampton, also at
160 km/h (which is still NOT fast).

Trust the above will be of interest.
