It’s here! Our 2027 season is now open, inviting you to experience Australia by train on one of our all-inclusive rail journeys.
In 2027, a new chapter begins for an Australian icon. The Ghan’s northbound journey from Adelaide to Darwin now unfolds over four unforgettable days, offering deeper moments of connection through the Red Centre. Enjoy a signature dinner in one of South Australia’s celebrated wine regions, then spend a full day exploring the ancient Flinders Ranges, where dramatic geology, rich culture and sweeping views reveal the essence of this remarkable landscape.
Across the country, the Indian Pacific and Great Southern continue to showcase Australia’s coastlines, rugged plains and vineyard country, with each Off Train Experience adding a new layer of discovery. With every meal, cabin and detail thoughtfully considered, all that’s left is choosing the landscapes that speak to you.
See you on the tracks in 2027, now available to book via the link in our bio.

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Standley Chasm, traditionally known as Angkerle Atwatye — meaning “Gap of Water.” 🌄
Carved over millions of years by rain and flooding, this 80-metre-high gorge in the West MacDonnell Ranges glows as sunlight filters through, transforming the sandstone walls into vivid reds and oranges — a photographer’s dream and a sacred place for the Arrernte people.
Available as an Off Train Experience on The Ghan, this guided walk is a journey into Australia’s ancient heart — where landscape, light, and culture meet.
