The Ghan
You’ll probably want to fly between destinations — this is a huge country, after all — but you can also rent a car and indulge in an Australian road trip. Or, go old-school and traverse the country by train on <anchor>The Ghan</anchor>, where you can experience the outback on a journey from Adelaide to Darwin.

# The Ghan

The Ghan


Regarded as one of the world’s greatest train journeys, The Ghan delivers so much more than an extended train ride. It promises access to parts of Australia no other holiday can come close to – the perfect balance of comfort and adventure, culminating in an experience that will move you in every sense of the word.

In 2024, The Ghan marked 95 years of outback crossings. Much has changed since 1929, and today The Ghan offers more than transit between Adelaide to Darwin and vice versa. Onboard you will find sumptuous dining, elegant private cabins, attentive service, and the camaraderie of your fellow travellers. And when the train stops, the adventures begin.

Choose from a range of included Off Train Experiences to create a rewarding personal journey through Australia’s outback and beyond. Travel on The Ghan or book The Ghan Expedition – an extended journey – as the foundation for your next adventure. Your rail journey can also be enhanced with a choice of tailored holiday packages. Welcome aboard.
