Holiday Reviews

• 

  The Ghan Expedition was better than I imagined it would be. The crew on board were very friendly. The meals and wines were exceptional. The off train excursions really gave you an insight into how sparce the Australian outback is. Even though we were a mini group, we had a wonderful time getting to know each other.

  The Ghan was a "bucket list" trip for me and it certainly lived up to my expectations. I had never previously been to the Northern Territory so I had lots of new experiences with good company, great food and terrific service
