Wake up to a new view outside your window as the outback sunrise sets the tone for the day ahead. After coffee, juice and a sumptuous breakfast, you arrive in Alice Springs ready for another day of exploration.
You have the opportunity to embark on one of the included off-train excursions, taking in the delights of this famous outback town. A full day in Alice Springs gives ample time to visit town landmarks, get up close to Australia's incredible flora and fauna, or explore at your own leisure.
You may choose to upgrade your excursion with a helicopter ride over the spectacular MacDonnell Ranges or an intimate scenic flight over Uluru and Kata Tjuta, an unforgettable way to appreciate the vastness of the Northern Territory.
In the evening, dine beneath a canopy of stars at an authentic Outback Bush Barbecue set in a strikingly lit quarry. Enjoy live Australiana music, a feast of mouth-watering steak and traditionally made damper. After dessert, cast your eyes skyward for an informative astronomical talk before returning to the train to rest as The Ghan departs Alice Springs.
