Journey on the Ghan, Adelaide to Darwin

The Ghan is one of the most iconic trains in Australia and travelling by rail on this train between Adelaide and Darwin is considered one of the worlds great train journeys. We had talked about doing it for some time but it was only when our cruise to the South Pacific in November 2020 got cancelled that we seriously started looking at it. There was the little matter of a milestone birthday to celebrate and if possible it was decided that it would be nice to mark the occasion with a memorable trip. This eventually led to a trip in February 2021. It was certainly memorable and we took a camera so we could share our experience with others.

The Ghan is named after the Afghan Camel riders who were the first to use the route through the outback. Today we have the opportunity to see the same vistas in comfort. At it's full length the train can be over 1 km long, however for our trip it was less than 800 m. There are a number of lounge and restaurant cars and there 2 different classes you can travel in, Gold and Platinum (there was previously a more budget class but that is no longer available). Along the way there are opportunities to visit Marla, Alice Springs and Katherine. The food is amazing, the staff are fantastic, the scenery is memorable and the trip is unforgettable.
