ADELAIDE:

The southern end of the Ghan is Adelaide. This city doesn’t have any attractions. Various wine regions are close to Adelaide. From Adelaide till Alice Springs the journey takes about 26 hours.

ALICE SPRINGS

It is extremely hot as it lies in the desert. There is a stop for 4 hours at Alice. It is better to spend some days in the Red Centre. You can also join 4WD tour. The main disadvantage of spending some days in Red Center is that it has bush flies which are more irritating than the heat.

The journey to Katherine will be spent in darkness as the Ghan leaves Alice Springs  in evening. There is again a stop of 4 hours in Katherine. There you can have a helicopter tour which is the best tour but the most expensive.
