This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the remarkable men in our lives and in doing so, wanted to share a special story from the tracks.
@margiewarrell recently returned home to celebrate her dad Ray’s 90th birthday aboard The Ghan. After losing his wife two years ago, Ray expressed that the journey was the only thing he really wanted to do – and together, they made it happen. From a helicopter ride over Nitmiluk Gorge to the simple joy of travelling through the outback by rail, Ray reminded Margie again and again that this was “the trip of a lifetime.”
To Ray, we wish a very happy belated Birthday and Father’s Day – and to Margie, thank you for sharing such a wonderful adventure with us.

Somewhere on the Nullarbor, around 1,000 kilometres east of Perth, the train slows to a stop. Out here, there are no towns in sight — just endless desert skies.
Our crew step off to transform this remote siding into something extraordinary: an open-air dining room under the stars. As courses are served and glasses filled, the outback itself becomes part of the experience.
This is Rawlinna — an unforgettable outback dinner, served beneath a blanket of stars and experienced only aboard the Indian Pacific`s westbound journey from October to March. ✨

Music has a way of capturing the spirit of place, and on board our trains it’s part of the journey itself. From serenades in the lounge as you traverse the Nullarbor to melodies drifting through the Outback air at the Alice Springs Telegraph Station, our musicians set the tone — welcoming you, connecting you, and reminding you that rail travel is about more than the destination.

Beneath the surface of Katherine lies a world few get to see. The Cutta Cutta Caves, formed millions of years ago, stretch through limestone country, their stalactites and stalagmites shaped over millennia.
Known to the Jawoyn people as ‘Cutta Cutta’ — meaning ‘many stars’ — these caves are sacred resting places for the stars, alive with stories passed down through generations.
From rare ghost bats to glimmers of crystal formations, this Off Train Experience on The Ghan offers a journey into both Earth’s ancient past and the living culture of the Jawoyn people.
