Itinerary
Welcome to Adelaide. Check in to your Adelaide accommodation, located in the heart of the CBD. The evening is yours to discover Adelaide's restaurant scene or relax and enjoy the facilities at your accommodation. Stay: Sofitel Adelaide (3 Nights)
Experience a fabulous day out in stunning McLaren Vale with ‘Small Batch Wine Tours' to discover hidden-gem wineries on a premium McLaren Vale wine tour like no other. Visiting boutique, usually sustainably focussed wineries you'll see, smell, taste, and learn about fantastic wine all day. In addition to discovering the Mediterranean-inspired wines of McLaren Vale, you'll also enjoy a stellar restaurant lunch at a popular local restaurant featuring the flavours of the region. (B/L)
Do as little or as much as you please today, the choice is yours. Explore more of Adelaide at your leisure or hop on the tram and head to Adelaide Central Market, one of the largest undercover fresh produce markets in the Southern Hemisphere, buzzing with life and colour. Perhaps you'd like to get more of that gourmet experience by visiting another wine-growing region, Barossa Valley is the perfect option. Small Batch wine tours offer a premium tour to take you off the beaten path on a whimsical tour of boutique Barossa wineries (additional charge applies, and pre-booking is required). (B)
Check out of your accommodation this morning and transfer to Adelaide Parklands Terminal. Step aboard The Ghan for an unforgettable adventure to the Top End. Settle into your cabin and see the changes in landscape from your window as the train leaves the city, heading for the Flinders Ranges and beyond. Stay: The Ghan (2 Nights) (B/L/D)
After your first night enjoying the fine dining and relaxed luxury of this iconic train, you'll wake to an amazing outback sunrise at Marla – a remote outpost 160 kilometres from the Northern Territory border that marks the start of the Oodnadatta Track. Enjoy more incredible scenery before arriving in Alice Springs early afternoon to enjoy an Off Train Experience that reveals more of this historic outback town. (B/L/D)
As you head further north into the tropics, prepare to experience one of the Top End's most impressive natural wonders. The stunning Nitmiluk Gorge lies within the massive 292,000 hectares of Nitmiluk National Park near Katherine.
