Australian Travel

[grumble]

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

My wife and I did the Indian Pacific from Adelaide to Sydney with friends and it was awesome, the food, scenery, drinks, commentary and company was unbeatable. We also did the trip from Adelaide to Fremantle and enjoyed it too. When we went on the Rocky Mountaineer our carriage wasn't ready so we were upgraded to the Gold class carriage with the glass roof at the start of spring, this was an incredible experience not to be missed as the thaw was beginning and when we did the return trip on the bus the difference was unbelievable. We will never forget the places that we went and the scenery that we saw (and the million photos that I took to remind us of the beautiful country and people). Canada and the Rocky Mountaineer with a great guide is an experience not to be missed.
