The Ghan. It's an icon for a reason. The bold red locomotive has been connecting Australians for 95 years as it travels to the most remote and remarkable parts of the country. It shares the land's storied past, allowing you to experience its vast, arid beauty in comfort and style. While travelling, it takes you on a culinary adventure showcasing regional and seasonal flavours, offering a new perspective of Australia.
It's hard to choose just one reason why The Ghan is such a special part of Australian history and culture. Whatever reason connects with you the most, let it ignite your adventurous spirit so that this time, next year, you could explore Australia by train.
