The train was then dubbed ‘The Afghan Express’, later shortened to ‘The Ghan’.

Choose from a huge range of included off-train experiences to create your own rich and rewarding personal journey.

Embark on this incredible outback adventure following in the footsteps of those pioneering cameleers that dared to venture beyond the city limits and forge a trail and track into the Red Centre of Australia more than 150 years ago, thereby enabling us today to encounter the beauty, culture and wildlife of our great land.
