AUSTRALIA - THE GHAN

The Ghan is a living legend in Australian history and has been so for over 70 years. It has been described as the ‘ultimate journey through the heart of the continent’. Boarding The Ghan in Adelaide or Darwin, experience one of the most fascinating great train journeys of the world. Connections are available on the Indian Pacific and The Overland for guests travelling to or from Sydney and Melbourne.

Prices for the train journey start from £394 but we would weave this into a more detailed itinerary with stopovers and to include flight prices to make a memorable holiday.
