The Ghan - a Majestic Journey
The Legendary Ghan Rail Journey

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.
