Embark on a train journey of a lifetime from vibrant Adelaide to tropical Darwin, aboard the iconic Ghan railway. Begin your holiday with a three nights’ stay in Adelaide, discovering the food and wine capital of South Australia. Explore the historic Adelaide Central Market, filled with aromas of fresh produce and local delights. Wander through the Adelaide Botanic Garden, where exotic plants from around the world create a lush oasis in the heart of the city. Enjoy an exclusive day tour to the magnificent Fleurieu Peninsula in Adelaide.
As the Ghan departs Adelaide, settle into your cabin and watch the landscapes transform from rolling green hills to the vast red desert of the Outback. In 2019, The Ghan marked 90 years of outback crossings. Much has changed since then, and today The Ghan offers more than transit between Adelaide and Darwin. Onboard you will find gourmet dining, elegant private cabins, attentive service, and the camaraderie of your fellow travellers.
Arriving in Alice Springs, immerse yourself in the frontier spirit of the Australian Outback, gaining insight into the challenges faced by those living in such remote areas. Continuing northward, The Ghan crosses the timeless landscapes of the Red Centre before reaching Katherine. Here, discover the stunning Nitmiluk Gorge, carved over millions of years by the Katherine River. Take a scenic cruise through its towering cliffs and sparkling waters, encountering native wildlife along the way. Finally, arrive in Darwin, where the tropical climate and laid-back atmosphere welcome you. Over the next three days, explore the vibrant waterfront precinct, lined with restaurants serving fresh seafood and local specialties. Relax on a sunset cruise and spend a day discovering the fascinating culture and rich wildlife of the Kakadu National Park.
From the heart of South Australia to the Top End, this tour promises unforgettable experiences, blending the best of Australia's landscapes, culture, and history. A perfect blend of comfort and adventure. Whether you're captivated by the desert's stark beauty or the lushness of the tropics, you will be immersed in Australia's vast and varied terrain.
