Journey Beyond - The Legendary Ghan Itinerary

Your journey begins in Adelaide as you board the legendary Ghan and leave the city behind for the vast landscapes of central Australia. Settle into your cabin and familiarise yourself with the train as rolling countryside gradually gives way to the rugged outback. Enjoy a relaxed morning tea and a leisurely lunch onboard as the scenery shifts from green pastures to the arid tones of the interior.

By afternoon, the train reaches Marla, a remote outback settlement that offers a true sense of isolation and scale. Step off the train to experience the stillness of the desert before rejoining your fellow travellers onboard. As evening falls, indulge in a regionally inspired dinner paired with premium Australian wines, then unwind in the lounge or your cabin as the Ghan continues its northbound journey under a vast star-filled sky.

Enjoy lunch either in town or back onboard before continuing your exploration of this legendary outback hub. As the afternoon draws to a close, return to the train and relax as the journey continues north. Settle in for another evening of fine dining and warm hospitality as the desert slowly gives way to the changing landscapes of the Northern Territory.
