4The Ghan (Australia)
Named after the Afghan camel drivers who once traversed the Australian outback, The Ghan offers one of the most unique train journeys in the world, stretching 2,979 kilometers (1,851 miles) from Adelaide in the south to Darwin in the north. This three-day, two-night journey takes passengers through the heart of Australia, offering a glimpse into the country’s vast and sparsely populated interior.
Along the way, passengers experience the dramatic changes in landscape, from the green farmlands of South Australia to the red deserts of the Northern Territory. The Ghan also offers several off-train excursions, including a visit to Alice Springs, the iconic gateway to Uluru (Ayers Rock), and a cruise through Katherine Gorge. For those who want to experience the rugged beauty of Australia’s outback while traveling in comfort, The Ghan is an unforgettable adventure.
