The Legendary Ghan
The Ghan. It's about great railway journeys. Great desert journeys. And perhaps experiencing a sense of peace and luxury that you haven't had in a long time.
This legendary train ride takes you from Adelaide in Australia's south, to Darwin in the north - the longest passenger train in Australia's history.
You can enjoy two nights aboard this great train in either direction. Marvel at the spectacular Australian landscapes, from green countryside through to red desert lands.
Special carriages are available, like the Chairman's Carriage and Prince of Wales Carriage. Enjoy the on board dining and lounges.
The Ghan's 47 hour, 2979 kilometre journey features off-train touring options at Port Augusta and legendary opal mining town Coober Pedy. It's an opportunity for you to combine one of the world's great train journeys with the spectacular Outback.
