Editorial Reviews

Discover the world’s most luxurious trains and relive a bygone era, when the journey itself was the most significant part of the experience; rather than simply getting there. A journey where the passenger becomes a real traveler and is able to experience the much more gracious way of travel - in a living recreation of the golden age of rail.

Join the 1/4 mile long Ghan train in the showpiece city of Sydney and recapture the Australian Pioneer Age during a two-day journey deep into the continental outback. The travelers of the Ghan appreciate historic Australia en route to Adelaide before turning north into the lands of the old Frontier. Now Australia’s deep red center reveals itself as a huge expanse of ancient nature, a land of parched rivers, unique wildlife and ever-changing colors, before arrival at Alice Springs, where the majesty of nearby Ayers Rock serves as an unforgettable climax to an amazing journey.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ghan Train Trip Review, December 15, 2008

This review is from: Luxury Trains of the World: The Ghan (DVD)

While the DVD was quite informative, I considered that it lacked adequate content of the scenery during the train trip.

It is also somewhat outdated as it does not address the extension of the route between Alice Springs and Darwin.

DVDs of the updated Ghan train trip are available in the PAL format.

An updated version of this DVD that would include additional scenery as well as the expanded trip to Darwin would be a useful tool to persons who planned to take to trip as well as a keepsake for persons who have taken the trip.
