Holidays On Trains - The Ghan

Travel with us on Australia’s legendary train, the Ghan, from tropical Darwin to Adelaide in the south of the country.

In February 2009 Ian and I decided we needed to start travelling before we got too old and decrepit.

After all, who knows what is laying around the corner for us to deal with regarding health issues. Ian has been a train enthusiast all his life so it seemed quite natural for us to want to go on some train tours of romantic far-away places. This idea worked well at the start but then we realized that many of the countries we wanted to go to didn’t have a train service! So, wherever we can find trains then we’ll be going on them and if there are no trains then we’ll go by bus or 4WD or some other mode of transport.
