Take The Ghan train and
experience spectacular desert
colors of outback Australia
The Ghan is a strange name for a train service and
comes from the term 'The Afghan Express' when
Afghan camel trains trekked the same route before the
railroad was built.
Assuming you travel the complete route, a journey on
The Ghan train would take 48 hours and travel 1850
miles (2,979 km) from Adelaide in South Australia, to
Alice Springs, and on to Darwin in the Northern
Territory.
The thing I remember most about the Ghan train trip
was the spectacular colors of the Australian outback.
The golds, the reds and the wide open desert as you
venture to the heartland of Australia... it is an amazing
Australia vacation experience.
The Ghan stops at Alice Springs aptly named the 'Red
Center' of Australia. Alice Springs is gateway to Ayers
Rock, Kings Canyon and The Olgas.
Before booking, check various Australia vacation
packages to see if they allow for a brief stopover (one
or two days) in Alice Springs to give you time to see
Ayers Rock and perhaps take a hot air ballon ride or
hellicopter ride over the Olgas.
Various Australia vacation packages also include travel
on the Ghan to Darwin... gateway to the Kakadu
National Park where you'll see giant crocs and amazing
wildlife.

The Indian Pacific Train Across
The Nullarbor Plain...
The World's Longest Stretch Of
Straight Railroad Track
(330 miles)
The Nullarbor Plain is a huge limestone plateau
along the south coast of western South Australia
and eastern Western Australia. The Nullarbor Plain
stretches 100,000 square miles and includes
limestone caves and rare vegetation and fauna.
The Indian Pacific train takes 65 hours, passes
through three states on its way from Sydney to
Perth. I boarded the Indian Pacific train at Perth in
Western Australia and traveled to Adelaide before
joining The Ghan train.

the options of traveling from Sydney or Melbourne
to Adelaide by the Indian Pacific train, and then on

Australia car hire and camper van
hire Australia
If you have the time, Australia is a wonderful country
for a self-drive car or camper van vacation. Driving is
on the left side of the road (the opposite to North
America). The other thing to remember when planning
your Australia car hire, or camper van hire, is that
Australia is a vast continent and care needs to be
taken when traveling through desert areas. For
example, the Nullarbor Plain has long stretches of
straight road and you need to watch out for local
hazards like kangaroos.
Before booking your Australia car hire, do some
research on the Internet using terms like 'Australia car
hire' and 'camper van hire Australia'.
