YOUR JOURNEY

Ghan Brochure Thumbnail

Experience the breathtaking sights and untamed spirit of the land as you traverse your way through the fiery red centre of Australia on the legendary Ghan Expedition train.

 

This tour is for the people searching for an unforgettable experience. The ones who love this beautiful country and want to experience it like few others will. Those who are drawn to the irrepressible romance of this land and want to enjoy the journey along the way… you know who you are.

 

In 2019, The Ghan celebrated 90 years of outback adventure, its legend stemming from the 1930s when the first Afghan cameleers arrived in Australia. Today you can become part of this celebrated history, following in the tracks of those pioneers as you journey through Australia’s red heart.

 

Your Australian odyssey starts in Darwin as you experience the wild beauty of the Top End. Between rounds of golf, you’ll be whisked away to discover the Northern Territory’s greatest treasures and awe-inspiring experiences.

 

The tour then continues as we board The Ghan to begin our journey through the red centre. Onboard, the 2979km all-inclusive rail journey will take you to some of the most remote and captivating parts of Australia in style and comfort, stopping along the way for incredible day tours and experiences.

 

From the outback to the coast, we will then arrive in Adelaide to play some of Australia’s best golf courses. Royal Adelaide and The Grange sit atop the golfing highlights before a day trip to the Barossa Valley offers a cornucopia of gourmet foods and spectacular wines for you to enjoy.

 

This truly is the trip of a lifetime. Join us in the most ambitious and remarkable itinerary we’ve ever put together. Be the first people to Golf the Ghan, and experience the spirit and history of Australia on the legendary train expedition.
