Australia's famous Ghan Train basically covers the entire country from south to north. It's a two night trip that links you with three great Australian cities-- Adelaide in the south, Alice Springs in the interior and Darwin on the northern coast.

The entire trip covers about 2,979 km or 1,851 miles The train makes the trip twice a week in either direction.

We found the Ghan train's Taste of the Top End [PDF] interesting. You get to see most of the Australia and let you spend some interesting time the northern part of Australia in Darwin.

There's plenty to do here on the train tours. Weigh the cost of the tour with driving and the amount of time you can spend in Australia.
