Your journey aboard The Ghan train begins in Alice Springs, departing at 18:15, so you have plenty of time to make your way to the station. You’ll be welcomed aboard with some delicious dishes using local ingredients and some regional fine wines. Get to know your fellow passengers and settle into your chosen cabin for the night.
