The Ghan in Across Australia by train
The Ghan in Across Australia by train
This itinerary assumes you start from Darwin and head south, but obviously it's also possible in the opposite direction.
From Darwin (0 km), there is a departure every Saturday (9 AM) throughout the year, and an additional service on Wednesdays (10 AM) between May and October. The three-day, two-night journey takes around 48 hours from end to end.
The station is a fair way from central Darwin, about 20 minutes drive. The railway's primary purpose is freight, and the line goes straight to the port at East Arm, without passing through any built-up areas. Dedicated buses connect between the Darwin Transit Centre in Mitchell St and the rail station for an additional fee. Taxis are possible, but expensive. There is no scheduled bus.
From Adelaide (2979 km), departures are on Sunday 12:20 noon throughout the year and Wednesday at the same time between May and October.
