Uniquewaysto takeonthewildsof Australia byLISAKLEIN
The entire continent of Australia is a wonderland of rare sights: Kangaroos, koalas, platypuses and other animals that only live there; a giant, untamed countryside known for its harsh weather and terrain; and the diving site to top them all, the Great Barrier Reef While Sydney, or another city, often servesasabase to take in the urban atmosphere and world-famous beaches with a quick venture into the wild, these off-the-beaten-path experiences will havetravelersseeingall that Australiaisinanewlight
Track Through the Outback by Train
The fabled Australian outback stretches across the remote and expansive interior of the continent The Ghan, an all-inclusive luxurytrain just asmomentousastheland it intersectsfrom north to south,hasbeen crossing the"Red Center" since1929,taking its name from the route used by Afghani cameleers in the 1800s A trip onitsepic four-day,1,851-mileChanExpeditionfromDarwinto Adelaide (shorter trips are also available) takes travelers to numerousawe- inspiringsightsbeyondthebush
According to Journey Beyond, the Chan's parent company, "Australia's interior is as vast as it is diverse - arid, dry plains are juxtaposed against lush, green vistas, with two coastlines framing each side There's something special about traveling across Australia by train and looking out the window at an endless horizonfull of possibilities."
On theGhan, thosepossibilitiesincludeastop in Katherine, where guestswill cruise through the Nitmiluk Gorge to take in itsnatural beauty and indigenous cultural significance, and have a true outback experience at a working cattle ranch, complete with stockman stories, live music and horseback riding and cattle dog demonstrations In Alice Springs, a deeper look at the landscape and First Nations cultures unfolds on walks through Standley Chasm and Simpsons Gap. An optional add-on flight to the iconic Uluru- the massive, red rock standing alone in the desert- tops many a bucket list, with the day's adventures ending with an outdoor barbecue under a blanket of stars. And in one of Australia's quirkiest towns, the opal-mining outpost of Coober Pedy, guests can try their hand at finding their own opal and eat lunchlikealocal - underground,wherehalf of itsresidentslive.
"While there are many waysto see [the outback], there'sonly one way to do it with ease and in comfort," says Journey Beyond. "That's the fabulous fun of rail travel, where everything comes together in a theater-like performance On board, the stage is set asyour backdrop whistlesby."
