THE GHAN RAIL HOLIDAYS

THE GHAN RAIL HOLIDAYS

Few Australian rail journeys capture the scale, contrasts and character of the Outback quite like The Ghan. Travelling between Adelaide and Darwin, this legendary train takes you deep into the heart of Australia, passing through the Flinders Ranges, the Red Centre and the tropical Top End.

As the train travels north, the scenery changes dramatically. Pastoral landscapes give way to the rugged Flinders Ranges, before the landscape becomes increasingly arid and the distinctive red earth of Central Australia appears. Journey through Alice Springs, surrounded by the MacDonnell Ranges, before continuing north towards Katherine and the lush landscapes of the Northern Territory.

The Ghan is about much more than the railway itself. Along the route, Off Train Experiences bring you closer to the places and people that make Australia’s interior so fascinating. Cruise through the spectacular Nitmiluk Gorge in Katherine, explore Alice Springs and venture into the underground opal-mining town of Coober Pedy on The Ghan Expedition

Back aboard, settle into your private cabin, enjoy all-inclusive dining and drinks, or relax in the Outback Explorer Lounge while the changing Australian landscape unfolds outside your window. The journey combines the romance of classic rail travel with the adventure of exploring one of the world’s most remote landscapes.

Whether you choose to travel Adelaide to Darwin, Darwin to Adelaide, or combine The Ghan with time in Uluru, Alice Springs, Darwin or other Australian destinations, our Ghan rail holidays are tailor-made around the way you want to travel.

TAILORMADE GHAN RAIL HOLIDAYS

Use The Ghan as the centrepiece of a complete Australian rail holiday, tailored around the destinations and experiences you want to include.

Spend time in Adelaide and the Barossa Valley before boarding the train, or extend your journey with a three-night stay on Kangaroo Island. Discover its rugged coastline, remarkable wildlife and natural landmarks, including Seal Bay and the Remarkable Rocks.

Travel onwards to Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road or continue to Sydney for its iconic harbour and the Blue Mountains. You can also add an unforgettable stay at Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Alice Springs, or extend your time in Darwin to explore Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks.
