The Ghan, Australia
When in Australia, catch the elegant Ghan Train from Adelaide right across the Outback passing Alice Springs and into Darwin. The Ghan started in 1877 when the actual railway line from Adelaide via Alice Springs to Darwin was laid - in the wrong place. A short form of the Afghan Express, the Ghan is hauled by a red locomotive and is a marathon expedition lasting over 50 hours. The Ghan has 3 cabin classes to choose from- the Red, Gold and Platinum Kangaroo. Experience a sense of history and travel across a landscape so different from anything one has ever seen.
