What It's like to Travel on The Ghan | Australia's Iconic Train Journey | Journey Beyond

Join journalist Dani Valent as she travels from Adelaide to Darwin aboard The Ghan, experiencing one of Australia’s most iconic rail journeys.

Crossing the heart of the continent, The Ghan connects South Australia and the Northern Territory on a multi-day train journey through the Red Centre. Along the way, Dani takes part in curated Off Train Experiences, exploring destinations such as Alice Springs and Nitmiluk Gorge, while gaining a deeper understanding of the landscapes and cultures that define Central Australia.

Onboard, she turns her attention to the full rail travel experience — from Gold Service cabins and the Outback Explorer Lounge to the dining car, where regionally inspired menus, Australian wine and attentive service form the centrepiece of life on the rails. As a respected food and travel journalist, Dani offers her perspective on what makes dining on The Ghan a defining part of travelling Australia by train.
