Named after the Afghan cameleers who once traversed this route, The Ghan is a transcontinental rail journey offering an unsurpassed experience of Australia, from the top end to the South in three unforgettable days.
The cabins feature a three-seater lounge that converts to upper and lower sleeping berths. Must-have en suite facilities with toilet, washbasin, and shower are included in the cabin. The Gold service also includes service from a dedicated attendant.
Gold Service fare includes hearty breakfasts, two-course lunches, and three-course dinners. Vegetariana, children’s, and limited special dietary meals are available. Meals in the Queen Adelaide Restaurant are included and include a seasonal menu.
The Ghan's timetable makes the most of the daylight hours to offer unsurpassed views of the passing landscape. From the sweeping Adelaide Plains unfolding before your eyes to the majestic Flinders Ranges, prepare for a perspective on South Australia you simply can't afford to miss.

Spend your days watching the colors change from the Outback Explorer lounge, sampling some local wines, and dine on some of the best local foods in the Queen Adelaide Restaurant.
