The Ghan (of Australia)

Discover the world’s most luxurious trains and relive a bygone era, when the journey itself was the most significant part of the experience; rather than simply getting there. A journey where the passenger becomes a real traveler and is able to experience the much more gracious way of travel - in a living recreation of the golden age of rail. Join the 1/4 mile long Ghan train in the showpiece city of Sydney and recapture the Australian Pioneer Age during a two-day journey deep into the continental outback. The travelers of the Ghan appreciate historic Australia en route to Adelaide before turning north into the lands of the old Frontier. Now Australia’s deep red center reveals itself as a huge expanse of ancient nature, a land of parched rivers, unique wildlife and ever-changing colors, before arrival at Alice Springs, where the majesty of nearby Ayers Rock serves as an unforgettable climax to an amazing journey.
