It promises access to parts of Australia no other holiday can come close to - the perfect balance of comfort and adventure culminating in an experience that will move you in every sense of the word.
Three nights and Four days via Alice Springs and Katherine, one way, 2,979km. Coast to coast, through the fiery red centre, experience Australia at its dramatic best. Operates 3 August 2016 to 26 October 2016.
Originally dubbed the Afghan Express, The Ghan train was named for the pioneering cameleers who blazed a permanent trail into the Red Centre of Australia more than 150 years ago. Many cameleers were migrants from an area now known as Pakistan. However, according to outback lore in the 1800s, these men were believed to come from the mysterious outpost of Afghanistan and were considered Afghans - 'Ghans.

You cannot see the rock from the train. Closest distance rock- railway is approx 450 km. Also, contrary to what they say, this train (the longest passenger train in the world - in regular service- ) is always full, so make your reservations in time. Also take a sweater: they like to set the airco to max cold.

It goes from Adelaide to Darwin. WTF are you thinking of?

[@Super_Unlucky_Rubber_Ducky]

Originally the line only ran from Adelaide to Alice Springs. When the extension to Melbourne was complete for a brief period from 1998-2002 (i.e. When this was shot for American television) the service ran from Melbourne to Alice Springs. The extension from Alice Springs to Darwin - the second largest project in Australian history - wasn't completed until 2004.
