Travel through the heart of Australia, and out to the remote parts of the outback
Pairing a small-group 4WD tour across the Red Centre’s most remote regions with an iconic train journey through the heart of the country, offers the ultimate opportunity to experience more. More panoramic landscapes, more outback adventures, more unique flora and fauna, more culinary delights, more cultural learning, and more moments to truly connect with the land.
There’s no better way to experience the vastness and beauty of Australia’s heartland than by exploring the Red Centre with Outback Spirit’s Red Centre Spectacular and journeying through the heart of it on board The Ghan. Remote destinations, comparable camaraderie and immersive Off Train Experiences are just a few of the highlights.
Like our small-group 4WD tours, The Ghan offers an unparalleled adventure through the heart of Australia in one all-inclusive journey. Regarded as one of the world’s greatest train journeys, The Ghan traverses through the rugged landscapes of the Red Centre, and provides an unmatched perspective of the country’s natural beauty. With its blend of comfort and adventure, The Ghan promises an experience that truly embodies the spirit of Australia’s vast and diverse outback. An Outback Spirit tour paired with a multi-day train journey is the perfect experiential tourism combination.
The 11-day Red Centre Spectacular, for example, starts in Darwin, where guests board The Ghan and roll out of the city and into the outback, stopping in Katherine and Alice Springs. From “The Alice”, as the city is fondly known, Outback Spirit steps into the driver’s seat, taking guests on a small-group tour to some of the most spectacular sights in central Australia, including Kings Canyon, Standley Chasm, Ormiston Gorge, Kata Tjuta and Uluru. There’s an evening under the stars with the Sounds of Silence dining experience and a dazzling display at the acclaimed Field of Light, as it illuminates the desert sky. Then, it’s back to The Ghan, continuing down the track to explore the quirky underground town of Coober Pedy before the journey draws to an end in Adelaide.
Beyond the Red Centre Spectacular, Outback Spirit offers a range of extended touring with The Ghan and Indian Pacific, from the rugged beauty of Arnhem Land to the breathtaking landscapes of Kakadu. No matter where your sense of adventure takes you, all journeys are all-inclusive, all-encompassing, all magical – and all made possible with Journey Beyond.
