The GHAN to Alice Springs The legendary desert train was named after the hardy Afghans and their camel trains which provided the only means of transport into ''The Centre'' in the early days. The journey is now a comfortable 20 hour world class train trip!
Itinerary
~ Starting in Adelaide, pass through the ''Wheat Belt'' to Port Pirie, follow the scenic Flinders Ranges to Port Augusta, and then head north from Tarcoola through the MacDonnell Ranges, approaching Alice Springs through Heavitree Gap, a narrow pass which accommodates the railway line, the road and the Todd River.
~ This journey is made easy. ''The Ghan'' offers First Class accommodation highlighted by dining in the stylish Stuart Restaurant, while Holiday Class passengers enjoy the truly Australian atmosphere of Matilda's buffet-style Restaurant. Coach Class passengers have their own food and beverage facilities.
~You may begin your journey in Alice Springs, Adelaide, Melbourne or Sydney. The GHAN is an affordable and comfortable alternative to air travel in Australia.
