Geelong Travel’s rare Ghan charter promises unforgettable journey

Travellers looking to experience one of Australia’s most iconic rail adventures have the chance to secure a place aboard an exclusive charter of The Ghan Expedition, departing Darwin on 29 October 2027.

The six-day luxury rail journey travels through the heart of Australia, showcasing the country’s spectacular and ever-changing landscapes while combining premium onboard comfort with immersive off-train experiences.

The itinerary begins with an overnight stay in Darwin before passengers board The Ghan for a journey through the Northern Territory and South Australia, with memorable stops including Nitmiluk Gorge at Katherine, Alice Springs and Coober Pedy.

Guests will enjoy the famous Dinner Under the Stars experience in Alice Springs, along with all-inclusive dining, premium beverages and comfortable accommodation onboard throughout the journey.

Unlike the traditional Ghan itinerary, this exclusive charter continues beyond Adelaide into regional Victoria, concluding at Inverleigh before coach transfers to Geelong, Melbourne Southern Cross Station or Ballarat.

The journey also includes a visit to Monarto Safari Park, where travellers can enjoy lunch while exploring one of Australia’s largest open-range wildlife parks, home to more than 50 species of native and exotic animals.

Accommodation in Darwin, transfers and the full range of off-train experiences are included, allowing guests to simply relax and enjoy the journey through Australia’s Red Centre and beyond.

Demand has already been strong, with some cabin categories reaching waitlist status well ahead of the 2027 departure.
