If you’re looking for a cross country journey that will show you the very soul of outback Australia, this is it. Imagine travelling on The Ghan, exploring Kings Canyon, Uluru and Kata Tjuta, cruising Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge and touring Kakadu and and Litchfield National Parks, all in one sensational 15-day journey through the nation’s heartland.
Departing from Adelaide, journey onboard The Ghan from Adelaide to Alice Springs. With a history dating back over 90 years to the first Afghan-Australian cameleers, this legendary train evokes a frontier spirit, a romantic connection to the land, and travelling on it creates a moving and unforgettable life experience.
From Alice Springs, venture out to Kings Canyon, Kata Tjuta and Uluru, the beating red heart of Australia. Explore these otherworldly rock formations and learn about their cultural and spiritual significance to the Aboriginal peoples. The sunrises and sunsets you will see here are unforgettable.
On the way back to Alice Springs, stop in at Watarrka National Park for a guided climb to the rim of Kings Canyon. You will have the chance to visit the Garden of Eden, a beautiful rock hole surrounded by rare plants found nowhere else on Earth.
Reboard the Ghan and continue your journey north to Katherine, where you may discover the spectacular sandstone country of Nitmiluk National Park and the majestic Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge on a guided cruise. If you’d prefer to take it easy, venture out to an authentic cattle station to witness real horse-starting and working dog demonstrations entwined with live music and humorous bush tales.
Upon arrival Darwin, take time to explore the capital of the Top End before venturing out to Kakadu National Park, one of the world’s most spectacular natural environments. Here, you will see timeless Aboriginal rock art, unique bird and wildlife and pay a special visit to Arnhem Land, a wild and untamed landscape which has remained unchanged for centuries. Your tour concludes in Darwin.
