The Ghan Train: Feb 24 & 25

24 hours on a 700m train... welcome to The Ghan! Linking Adelaide to Darwin this train provides a scenic route for tourists to enjoy central Australia. We hopped on in Alice Springs and were pleasantly surprised to find spacious and comfortable seats that recline very far back. There is even a dining cart! I wish airplanes could be like this. We boarded at 6pm, slept through the night and then at 9am the train arrived in the town of Katherine for a stop to see some sights. Our group decided to do a hike up the gorge and we were rewarded with some beautiful sights.
