Review & FAQ:

The Ghan is a train excursion ideal for parents who want their children to unplug from the tech that consumes them in favor of a one-of-a-kind expedition across Australia. Departing from Darwin, guests glide across 1,851 miles of the country’s varied landscape in the comfort of their private luxury cabins. This four-day three-night journey makes several stops along the way from the Aussie Outback and Katherine Gorge – ancient sandstone cliffs to the vast Northern Territory and the underground town of Coober Pedy, this tour has it all. Along the way families will participate in activities such as camel treks, an Outback Barbecue Tour, and mining at the Umoona Opal Mine.
