The Ghan makes a 3,000km journey from Darwin to Adelaide, with the mighty wheels kicking up the red dirt of the Australian Outback as it travels straight down the middle of the country.  

It's a once in a lifetime journey, but it pays to be prepared. My tip for any visit to the Outback is to invest in a fly net for your head and shoes you don't mind coming home covered in red dust! #LifeatExpedia
