The Ghan Expedition: Darwin to Adelaide 4 day/3 night Itinerary
| Itinerary | ||
| Day 1: Darwin – Katherine – Your journey begins with a morning departure from Darwin (aproximately 10am). Once you’re settled into your private cabin, mingle with fellow travellers or sample the exceptional food, wine and service onboard. When it’s time for lunch, savour the regionally-inspired menu accompanied by a selection of all-inclusive wines and beverages, before an early afternoon arrival at the Top End township of Katherine. Choose between a relaxing cruise through Nitmiluk Gorge’s ancient natural wonders and exploring the region’s rich Indigenous culture, or experience a glimpse into the lives of those who call the outback home, with a fascinating day of discovery on a huge cattle station. Enjoy dinner as the sun sets over the outback, then back in your cabin you’ll find your bed turned down. Fall asleep as the train rolls soothingly onwards. – L, D | ||
| Day 2: Alice Springs – After your first night on The Ghan, you’ll be greeted by a morning view of the spectacular Red Centre. A full day of excursions awaits you in the outback town of Alice Springs. An optional upgrade is a scenic flight to Uluru, returning in time to meet the rest of your fellow guests at a spectacular barbeque dinner under a million stars at the historic Alice Springs Telegraph Station. – B, L, D | ||
| Day 3: Manguri and Coober Pedy – From your morning stop at the outback outpost of Manguri, you’ll venture into the weird and wonderful opal mining township of Coober Pedy, where more than half of the residents live underground. Here, you’ll enjoy a day of discovery, and a gourmet lunch in the most unique of locations: underground. Dinner is served back on the train where you can enjoy a nightcap as your journey continues. – B, L, D | ||
| Day 4: Adelaide – From your cabin window this morning you’ll see a dramatic change in landscape, as the rich ochre tones of the outback make way for the pastoral lands of South Australia. Enjoy a leisurely brunch as you pass through the majestic Flinders Ranges and prepare for your arrival into Adelaide (aproximately midday), completing one of the world’s great travel experiences. In the smart southern city, you can extend your experience with a holiday package to the Barossa Valley, fascinating Kangaroo Island, or an expertly-curated tour of this food and wine loving capital. – B, L |
