Join the video tour on the luxury Ghan train that travels over 3 days and 2 nights between Darwin in Northern Territory Australia to Adelaide in South Australia stopping at Alice Springs and Katherine Gorge. In this video I explore the train, Platinum and Gold Class accommodation, and the excursions included in the fare.

I have just returned from a trip on The Ghan and it was the highlight of my holiday. It truly is one of the great rail journeys of the world. Superlative service on and off board. An unmissable experience never to be forgotten. Well worth every Australian dollar. Not to be missed. Better than the Orient Express.

Your video brought back wonderful memories of our Ghan experience. I did notice that the platinum class dining car has been redecorated since your filming but everything else appeared the same. Thanks for posting.

As a Pom, I helped build this railway back in 75 or so. My job was to drive a roller, squasher , compacter thing but there was always a rush at the end of the day to refuel, ready for next morning. The Italians, in bulldozers, got very narkey if you tried barging infront. I think most of the workers were the worse for booze most of the time. Saw quite a few accidents and, by god, it was hot. A lot of snakes too. I only did it for two weeks until a full time profi took over. Don't remember them paying me either. So, don't forget that, next time your in the luxury suit.

I travelled on the original Ghan with the narrow gauge track it went from Adelaide to Alice Springs there was no track to Darwin the everything at that point was shipped on by road.It was a lovely old train whith great character looks like they have taken it all a bit over the top now for rich tourists.

nice video

@dylanshadowstar9779 3 года назад

A note to be made. There's two versions of the gold class rooms. Rooms for two people as you mentioned. But I was Gold class and had a room for one, a chair that folds into a bed but unlike the rooms meantioned, no private toilet or shower. But it was still gold class as I was entitled to the tours and other luxuries.

@diassurya8978 9 лет назад

how much for ticket ?

@slimyish 7 лет назад

Average around $2000 well worth it, I can't wait to do it

@tipsfortravellers 7 лет назад

It is quite costly but I really felt the investment was worth the experience. It is such a famous and iconic trip and being one of the people to do it made it special. Hope you love it when you do it. I loved every minute of it.

@myvideostoplayablemedia3804 6 лет назад

@TheRailwayGuy175 3 года назад

Imagine this train is a double-deck. The lower one has a small vehicle that travels the entire length of this deck that carries people.

@astrofabio68 8 лет назад

the train has cinema or wifi?

@tipsfortravellers 8 лет назад

No neither!

@astrofabio68 8 лет назад

+Tips For Travellers but is a too long trip!!!

@heli-crewhgs5285 5 лет назад

Fuck cinemas and WiFi! Look out of the bloody window, or talk to people!

@Ghost-lu3ri 4 года назад

Heli-Crew HGS spot on mate !!!

@pranabnaik 4 года назад

People like you shouldn't travel if you want to be looking at a screen all the time. They have excursions, look out of the window, talk to your fellow passengers. Loads to keep you occupied.

@SkandikFilm 9 лет назад

Great train, but probably not much to see along the line.

@tipsfortravellers 9 лет назад

It was great experience. As landscape changes so much along way quite a bit to see though love limited

@slimyish 7 лет назад

Bit of a bleak outlook, the endless red centre, the sunrise and sunset, the changing landscape, it's all about how you choose to see it. A very simple person won't see much, but a person with a rich personality and open mind will see a lot

@tipsfortravellers 7 лет назад

Yes agree. The Ghan is as much about experiencing he journey and the train as the sights along the way. Though I found the scenery fascination and spent hours watching it pass by. A lot of it was so unique and unusual I felt. But I can (as you say) see why some would not find it as enthralling...!

@dalemiller5893 4 года назад

Went on the ghan last month, I missed my dinner time and was told sorry your too late and missed out all together, couldn't purchase any food what's so ever. I never slept one night due to the clicky clack, got to Darwin and was a mental wreck now iam in a asylum.

@mariajenner5486 3 года назад

How did u miss dinner

@abdulrehmanachakzai3033 Год назад

this line was founded by the hard work of AFGHAN cameleer my ancestors

@mazelder6051 8 лет назад

not exactly the orient express, rather basic

@tipsfortravellers 8 лет назад

+Maz Elder it is not as plush as some of the other luxury trains around the world - but was a great experience still. But (as you say) not very luxury

@pranabnaik 6 лет назад

The Ghan can be classified as luxury. The Orient is for more uptight snooty idiots, and doesn't have showers(some luxury).
