Hi Cruisers,
Took a quick left lap out of Newcastle last week. Darwin with a coach famil tour & Kakadu then 'The Ghan' railway down to Adelaide. Stops at Katherine Gorge, Alice Springs, Mandura siding for Coober Pedy & then Adelaide & back home.
Awesome experience. Thanks Lauren

The Ghan is fantastic!
We did it 15 years ago our 25th anniversary.
Since then we have done Indian Pacific and The Canadian.
Sleeping on a train is awesome.
The Ghan is better than Indian Pacific.
IMO the Rocky Mountaineer is rubbish.
Pay all that money to pull in late to stay at an overpriced hotel to be ushered out early.
David, I hope you hit the drinks carriage.
We found there were 2 sorts of travelers.
Those that stayed in their carriage and those that “got into it”.
The scenery on the Ghan was unbelievable.
Food and drinks even better

Agreed Barry. The scenery was unbelievable.
3 Course meals at every sitting & free drinks

Was 25 steps from our cabin to the lounge & it seems that if you can walk to the bar they will serve you
.
The Ghan was worth every $. First class.
Cheers
