Darwin to Adelaide
All guests aboard The Ghan Expedition, from Darwin to Adelaide, travel in the comfort of Platinum or Gold Service by night and by day travel off train. Starting with Nitmiluk (Katherine), followed by a full day experience in Alice Springs, see the Red Centre in all its glory. For a truly unforgettable experience, upgrade to an optional scenic flight over Uluru. Cap off the day with a spectacular barbecue dinner under the stars where guests can even ride a camel! The next stop is a guided tour of Coober Pedy, a famous South Australian outback town famous for opal mining and where 70 per cent of the world’s opals originate.
Day 1: Darwin and Katherine Your journey begins with a morning departure from Darwin. Once you’re settled into your cabin, make your way to the restaurant for lunch, accompanied by Australian wines. Following an early afternoon arrival at the Top End township of Katherine, explore Nitmiluk Gorge’s natural wonders and rich Indigenous culture on your choice of Off Train Experience. You’ll be awed by the towering sandstone cliffs and calm waters flowing through this ancient carved waterway. (L,D)
Day 2: Alice Springs This morning, you’ll be greeted by a view of the spectacular Red Centre. A full day of Off Train Experiences awaits you in Alice Springs, with the choice of a coach tour of ‘The Alice’, an off-road cycle tour, a walking tour of the Alice Springs Desert Park, or a discovery walk at spectacular Simpsons Gap. An optional upgrade is a scenic flight to Uluru, returning in time to meet your fellow guests at a spectacular dinner at the Old Telegraph Station. Prepare to be wined, dined, and serenaded under a blanket of stars as you drink in the moment. (B,L,D)
Day 3: Manguri and Coober Pedy After your morning stop at Manguri, where the sun casts its warmth across the outback earth, venture into the weird and wonderful opal mining town of Coober Pedy. In this remote town, more than half of the population lives underground. Here, you can discover the majestic Breakaways, delve into opal mining, or tour the town and learn its history. Dinner is served back on the train where you can enjoy a nightcap as your journey continues. (B,L,D)
