Itinerary

DAY 1: DARWIN AND KATHERINE GORGE

Board the legendary Ghan in Darwin at 10am and settle into your cabin, before taking lunch in the Queen Adelaide Restaurant. There's time for a leisurely cruise at Katherine Gorge, before jumping back on board for diner as the sun sets over the outback.

DAY 2: ALICE SPRINGS

Wake up to a change of scenery as you approach Alice Springs, visit the town's famous landmarks and the option to upgrade to the ultimate outback experience - a scenic flight over Uluru and Kata Tjuta (additional cost). This evening you'll enjoy a BBQ under the stars followed by a astronomers talk.

DAY 3: COOBER PEDY

Reach the opal mining capital of the world at Coober Pedy, a town where more than half of the locals live underground, and enjoy a gourmet lunch below the earth's surface.

DAY 4: ARRIVE INTO ADELAIDE

Watch the red baked earth turn to luscious green hills as you arrive into South Australia. Finish your journey in Adelaide - where Austravel would recommend you to spend a few days discovering the wine region of the Barossa Valley and the wlidlife haven of Kangaroo Island.
