Along the way, passengers can enjoy off-train excursions to explore the unique flora and fauna of the Outback, visit the historic town of Alice Springs, and marvel at the stunning landscapes of Katherine Gorge. The Ghan offers a range of accommodation options, from luxurious suites to comfortable cabins, ensuring a memorable journey for all travelers. The Ghan is more than just a train ride; it is an epic adventure that showcases the rugged beauty and rich cultural heritage of Australia’s Outback.
