There’s nothing quite like putting down your suitcase and letting the journey take care of itself. Once you step aboard the legendary The Ghan, everything slows to a more enjoyable pace—you can settle in, unwind, and trust that every detail has been thoughtfully arranged.
From exceptional, regionally inspired dining paired with fine Australian wines to a curated selection of immersive Off Train Experiences, your days naturally fall into a rhythm of discovery and indulgence. Whether you’re watching the vast Outback landscapes roll by from the comfort of your cabin or stepping off to explore remote and iconic locations, the experience feels both effortless and enriching.
For those inspired by a love of golf, the Ghan Expedition offers an extra layer of appeal. As the journey stretches between Darwin and Adelaide, you’ll travel through some of Australia’s most dramatic and diverse terrain - home to unique and often remote golf experiences. Imagine teeing off against a backdrop of red desert plains or lush tropical surrounds, where the courses are as memorable as the journey itself. It’s not just about the game; it’s about the setting, the camaraderie, and the stories you’ll take with you long after the final putt.
Blending luxury rail travel with the spirit of adventure—and even a touch of golf—the Ghan Expedition transforms a simple journey into something truly unforgettable.
