The Ghan
The
journey through the heart of Australia
Overview
|
The
Ghan is the ultimate journey into the heart of
Australia. It is an odd name for a train, but in
Australian history it is a living legend. About 150
years ago, the first camels were imported along with
their handlers from Afghanistan. In true Australian
style, the name was soon shortened to “Ghan.’ Early
explorers used camels, perfectly adaptable for traveling
long distances through the hot interior and beyond all
the way to Darwin. Today, train enthusiasts can make
this journey with all the creature comforts these
pioneers could never have imagined.
