Adelaide to Alice Springs on board The Legendary Ghan

This legendary train evokes a frontier spirit and a deep, romantic connection to the land. Travelling on it is a moving and unforgettable experience. The Ghan celebrates outback adventure, its origins reaching back to the 1930s when the first Afghan cameleers arrived in Australia. Departing Adelaide, you’ll journey through the Red Centre on a three-day exploration of Australia at its dramatic best. Watch the landscape shift from verdant greens to arid plains, where the rich colours of the outback saturate the horizon. Along the way, stop in Long Plains, the Flinders Ranges and Marla. Learn about the history, culture, natural beauty, and significance of each remote outpost as you travel aboard this iconic train all the way to Alice Springs.
