Itinerary

2025 (To Nov 2025) 2026 (From Mar 2026)

Board The Ghan in Adelaide, heading for the Flinders Ranges and beyond. The city streets will give way to rural South Australia before the impressive mountains of the Flinders Ranges come into view. Enjoy a regionally inspired lunch and dinner on board before settling in for the night. Stay: The Ghan (L/D)

Wake to an unforgettable outback sunrise at Marla and enjoy the jaw-dropping natural landscapes that pass by as you travel to Alice Springs.

Upon arrival into Alice Springs, you will be transferred to your hotel to enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure. Stay: Crowne Plaza Alice Springs Lasseters (3 Nights) (B/L)

This morning is yours at leisure. You may wish to take a stroll to the Olive Pink Botanic Garden or simply relax in the comfort of your hotel. Explore Alice Springs this afternoon, touring the sights including The School of the Air, where you learn how children who cannot access schools are educated by radio. Stop at the historic Telegraph Station, which marks the original site of the first European settlement in Alice Springs. Visit the Royal Flying Doctors Service, where you will see how medical aid reaches those who live in the remote outback.

We also make a stop at the Alice Springs Reptile Centre, where you can see, and potentially touch, the lizards and snakes of Central Australia's semi-arid desert, such as the Perentie Lizard and the Thorny Devil. Your tour concludes with a panoramic view of the township of Alice Springs and the MacDonnell Ranges from the top of Anzac Hill. (B)

Today is yours to do as you please. Depending on your interests, perhaps take a dip in the swimming pool or visit the day spa at your hotel. Or if you want to get out and explore further, visit the Museum of Central Australia, Alice Springs Desert Park, or the Araluen Arts Centre. (B)

Your Discover Alice experience comes to an end when you check out of your accommodation after breakfast and farewell Alice Springs. (B)
