Train
ImageThe Ghan. It’s an odd name for a train but in Australian history it is a living legend. The legend has soared to new heights with the extension of The Ghan journey to Darwin. When The Ghan first departed Adelaide for Alice Springs, it was always intended that it would one day travel through to Darwin. More than 70 years on, in 2004, that dream has become reality.

Boarding The Ghan in Adelaide or Darwin, experience one of the most fascinating great train journeys of the world.
