Trip itinerary

Adelaide to Alice Springs on board The Ghan

This legendary train evokes a frontier spirit, and a romantic connection to the land, and travelling on it creates a moving and unforgettable life experience. The Ghan celebrates outback adventure, with its legend stemming from the 1930s when the first Afghan cameleers arrived in Australia. Departing Adelaide, travel through the Red Centre, experiencing Australia on this overnight adventure. Watch the landscape change from verdant greens to arid plans, where the colours of the outback saturate the landscape. Stop in Marla for an early morning off train experience before you reach Alice Springs.
