The Ghan, Australia's legendary rail journey, is celebrating the 80th anniversary of its original 1,500 kms service from Adelaide to Alice Springs in the heart of the Australian Outback.
The Ghan offers a choice of three levels of accommodation: Red, Gold and Platinum.
The Ghan is named after the turbaned and robed ‘cameleers’ who, before roads or rail, provided the only supply route to the middle of nowhere. First opened in 1929, the railroad linked Adelaide to Alice Springs. It took another 75 years before the track opened between Alice and Darwin. The two-night 2,979 kms classic rail journey takes you through the heart of the country: crossing deserts and the rusty reds of the McDonnell ranges northwards to Katherine and tropical Darwin.
