EXPLORE AUSTRALIA BY TRAIN

Australia by Train

It’s north to south, east to west of ever-changing landscapes, culture and people. While there are many ways to see it, there’s only one way to do it with ease and in comfort. That’s the fabulous fun of rail travel, where everything comes together in a theatre-like performance.

Onboard, the stage is set as your backdrop whistles by. Familiar and friendly service leads the way, with every moment another glorious memory in this spectacular show – the food, the cabins, the Outback Explorer Lounge, the friends you make, the Off Train Experiences, the sunrises and sunsets, did we mention the food?

It’s a journey of truly epic proportions and it’s made easy with Journey Beyond.

Every journey on The Ghan is one-of-a-kind, with each departure bringing new guests to witness the iconic Australian landscapes.

We're incredibly lucky to showcase some of the most spectacular destinations in the country, from the heart of the outback to the tropical Top End. And while our train load may change from week to week, our warm hospitality and unforgettable experiences remain constant.

We believe The Ghan and cruising the Kimberley is a natural pairing for those wanting to dive into spectacular landscapes from both land and sea. 

Travel through the dusty red heart of Australia from Adelaide to Darwin on board The Ghan, stopping for immersive exploration along the way. Then, cruise the Kimberley with PONANT, Australia’s pioneering cruise line, witnessing a unique blend of wonders, from cascading waterfalls and ancient rock formations to rich Indigenous cultural sites.
 
With limited cabins remaining for 2025 departures, now’s the time to secure your spot and experience Australia’s most spectacular landscapes by Train & Cruise.

The gentle hum beneath your feet. The red earth reflected in your carriage window. The vast, open skies.

This is more than a journey, it’s the sound and soul of Australia, told one rail adventure at a time on board The Ghan.

Soar over ancient landscapes and shimmering salt flats on an unforgettable Painted Hills & Lake Eyre Scenic Flight. This Off Train Experience is an optional upgrade for guests travelling on The Ghan Expedition. 

Witness the vibrant colours of the Anna Creek Painted Hills, walk among ancient geological wonders, and marvel at the ever-changing hues of Lake Eyre from above. 

Top it off with an outback pub lunch and a scenic flight over Coober Pedy, where life is lived underground. This is the outback like you’ve never seen it before.

Easter Sunday looks a little different when you're crossing Australia by train. 🐣✨
 
Guests aboard The Ghan began their journey from Adelaide to Darwin today, starting with bubbles after check-in before settling in for their first day on board. With a long lunch, spectacular views, and a three-course dinner ahead, it’s the perfect way to ease into the journey.

Meanwhile, on the Indian Pacific, guests woke to sunrise over Kalgoorlie before heading out to explore on this morning’s Off Train Experiences. This afternoon, they’ll relax on board as the train glides across the Nullarbor, finishing the day in the outback town of Cook, where stories are shared under a blanket of stars.
