The Ghan, Australia

The Ghan, Australia

In a bygone age when to travel was to seek adventure, when the travelling itself was as important as getting there and the people you met along the way were a key part of the experience, the comfort and romance of rail offered the ultimate in style and speed.

Running from Sydney to Perth the historic Indian Pacific line crosses three states and one of the world’s largest deserts, while The Ghan railway heads from the temperate southern coast to the hot and humid Outback capital, Darwin, in the north.
