A Journey of Discovery

Begin your adventure in the bustling city of Adelaide, where you'll board the iconic Ghan. This legendary train will carry you through the sprawling Flinders Ranges, home to ancient rock formations and abundant wildlife. As you journey northward, marvel at the vast and barren expanses of the Nullarbor Plain, one of the most remote and inhospitable landscapes on Earth.

As the Ghan approaches Alice Springs, the gateway to Australia's Red Centre, prepare to be captivated by the rugged beauty of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas). These iconic landmarks, sacred to the Aboriginal people, offer an awe-inspiring spectacle that will leave you speechless.

Continuing northward, the Ghan will take you through the tropical landscapes of the Top End, home to lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and abundant Aboriginal rock art. Disembark at Darwin, the vibrant capital of the Northern Territory, where you'll have the opportunity to experience the vibrant Aboriginal culture and explore the city's colonial history.

For a different perspective, board the equally iconic Indian Pacific train in Perth, Western Australia. This transcontinental train will take you across the vast expanse of the Western Australian desert, offering glimpses of the shimmering salt lakes and towering red cliffs that characterize this unique region.

As the Indian Pacific approaches Adelaide, prepare to be amazed by the rugged beauty of the Blue Mountains, a series of sandstone plateaus and sheer cliffs that offer breathtaking views. Disembark in Sydney, Australia's largest city, where you can marvel at the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
