After breakfast you arrive at the remote stop of Manguri, where a friendly tour guide awaits to whisk you away for the day. Your destination is Coober Pedy, the sun-scorched opal mining capital of the world, where more than half of the residents live underground.
Venture into the tunnels and caves of this underground town, try your hand at opal fossicking, visit the otherworldly underground Serbian Orthodox Church, and glimpse the famous Coober Pedy Golf Course—the only course in the world boasting reciprocal rights with St Andrews in Scotland.
Enjoy a gourmet lunch underground in a unique setting before heading out to the stunning outback moonscape of the Breakaways.
After an action-packed day, return to The Ghan in time to ease into a slower gear for your final evening onboard. Dine in style in the Queen Adelaide Restaurant, share stories with fellow travellers in the Outback Explorer Lounge (open until late), or retire to the privacy of your cabin to relax and plan future journeys.
