The Legendary Ghan Train Journey
- from the rolling hills surrounding Adelaide past the rusty
reds of Central Australia to the tropical splendour of Darwin,
traverse this untamed land aboard the majestic Ghan.
As one of the great train
journeys of the world, The Ghan takes you through the remote
landscapes and astonishingly varied flora and fauna from the
Outback to the Top End. It will both inspire and amaze you
as you traverse this untamed land aboard this magnificent
train. Relive the era of elegant train travel through the
heart of Australia on the journey of a lifetime.
You can start or complete your
APT holiday with a majestic rail journey aboard The Ghan.
Experience the romance and excitement of a truly great train
journey that was 70 years in the making. When The Ghan first
departed Adelaide for Alice Springs in 1929, it was always
intended to one day travel to Darwin. After much hardship
this dream became a reality.
You can join The Ghan in Adelaide,
Alice Springs or Darwin and rail connections are available
from Sydney and Melbourne.
